I am a Galaxy S22 Ultra user and unfortunately, a vertical line appeared on my display on January 1st, 2026.
I am aware that Samsung India has been offering a one-time free screen replacement for the S22 series due to this known issue, with the previous deadline being December 31, 2025. Since my issue appeared just one day after this date, I would like to know:
Has the free replacement policy been extended into 2026?
Is there a grace period for devices that develop the fault immediately after the deadline?
Are there any specific service centers or "VOC" (Voice of Customer) channels I should contact to get this approved?
My phone has no physical or liquid damage and has been maintained in mint condition. It feels unfair to pay for a display replacement (which is very expensive) for a defect that is widely acknowledged by Samsung as a hardware-software compatibility issue.
I would appreciate any help or guidance from the moderators or fellow users who have successfully claimed a replacement this month.
Service center is demanding RS. 25000 to replace the display. Lines started coming after software update. If Samsung appreciate the loyalty of customer, then they should come forward and replace my display free of cost as I feel it is due to software malfunctio
