Hey everyone, My S21 fe was running on last year's one ui 6.0 . I had the one ui 6.1 downloaded but I did not update it as I saw posts of green line last year around this time. 
Every day around 6 am I would recieve a popup of install update notification which I couldn't turn off. 
So today I decided to install it and turn off auto download. 
Just a few minutes through the update (around 66% installation) a white line gradually appeared . (I have a video evidence provided below)

After update

This phone is close to being used for 3 years and I don't have the original bill.
Their replacement policy requires an invoice . I don't know what will happen.
I am going to the service center soon and will try to provide an update.

Can somebody share their experiences

The video :

Trimmed to the line part 
(as the original video was 1.5gb)

If I don't know whether this evidence will be useful or not in front of their so called polices.

You was careful enough to have recorded everything beforehand as many such cases are being surfaced. And, It is a solid evidence and is strong enough to prove that the line appeared during installation of the OTA software update. It'd be better to trim the video from before getting the line to the point where the line appears clearly when the screen gets ON. I think there's no need of invoice for an out of warranty device. Please update us in your post time to time what your experience has been so far and what resolution have they provided, if any.?? Hope, you get the replacement free of cost!
