On Sep 26th 2024 while using my Samsung S21 FE phone, I noticed a thin green line briefly appear on the right side of the screen after software update.
 
 Despite never dropping my phone and having it protected by a high-quality tempered glass and case, the issue persisted. I contacted Samsung support, but their troubleshooting steps didn't resolve the problem. I suspect it might be related to a recent security update, 
 
 as this is the first time I've encountered such an issue since I started using Samsung devices in 2012. So, I'm hoping Samsung India can offer a free display replacement since the problem doesn't seem to be caused by any mishandling on my part. Any advice or solutions would be appreciated.

I am writing to formally express my deep dissatisfaction with Samsung’s handling of the widespread pink and green line issue affecting AMOLED displays across India. This defect has arisen directly from a faulty update pushed by Samsung, and it is unacceptable that your company is refusing to take responsibility for the consequences of this failure.

Countless users, myself included, have been affected by this problem, and every service center confirms that it is a systemic issue, not isolated incidents. Despite this, Samsung is charging exorbitant fees for display replacements, forcing customers to bear the financial burden of a defect that is clearly a result of your own update.

This disparity in customer care is infuriating, especially when other brands, such as Apple and OnePlus, are proactively replacing faulty displays at no cost to their customers. Samsung’s reluctance to address this issue highlights a troubling lack of accountability and commitment to consumer satisfaction.

As loyal customers, we should not be held responsible for Samsung’s mistakes. It is your obligation to rectify this situation by providing free replacements for all defective displays. Failure to address this matter promptly will leave us with no choice but to explore legal avenues to seek justice.

I urge you to reconsider your policies and take immediate action to resolve this issue. Samsung must step up, acknowledge its responsibility, and prioritize customer care.

Sincerely,

They said Sorry to say you have to pay the charges for the screen replacement because display replacement policy end on 30th sep 2024. I am facing this problem after policy end.
