I am writing to express my concern regarding an issue I am currently facing with my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G. I have been using this device for the past 3.5 years without any physical damage—it has never been dropped, broken, or repaired.
However, after the recent software update, a persistent green line appeared on the display. Additionally, I’ve been experiencing connectivity issues with both Wi-Fi and hotspot functionality, which began only after the update.
I visited a Samsung service center to report the problem, but was informed that screen replacement is only offered free of charge for devices that are within three years of purchase. As I had pre-booked the device when it was launched, it technically falls just outside of that window. Unfortunately, I was denied a free repair, even though the issue clearly began after a software update and is unrelated to physical damage or misuse.
This experience has left me disappointed, especially considering this is a premium device. I am aware that several users of the S22 Ultra 5G—regardless of the device's age—are facing similar display issues following recent updates.
Therefore, I would like to ask:
Why is Samsung not offering a free screen replacement for affected S22 Ultra devices, even when the issue is clearly a result of a software update and not user fault?
I kindly request you to review this case and consider providing support for customers facing post-update hardware issues, even beyond the standard three-year policy. I have been a loyal Samsung customer, and I hope the company continues to stand by its products and users.
Looking forward to your response and a fair resolution.

I have had the same issue today. An update seemed to have happened 3 days ago and the system rebooted and now I see a pink line on my display. I have been using this device for more than 3 years without any problem and never dropped or had any other issues. It was working very well and now the screen is having a pink line vertically across the screen. This has clearly caused by software update released recently. I see that many others are also having the same issues and Samsung seems to be asking all to replace the screen with our own cost. This is blatant disregard for loyal customers like us. I am really disappointed with Samsung support and now Samsung seems to go the Apple way of breaking systems through Updates.
