Older Samsung smartphones started showing coloured lines on the screen after a software update
Recently, Samsung smartphone users have been facing an issue that is causing them concern. After installing a software update, a green or pink line appears on the screens of smartphones. The issue affects not just one or two models, but a wide range of devices including the Galaxy A73, Galaxy M21, Galaxy M52 5G, Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21 FE, Galaxy S22 and Galaxy Z Flip 3.
Here's What We Know
Some users claim that the problem occurred after installing the One UI 6.0 update or the April 2024 security update. This has caused fear among users and some of them have even started recording videos of the process of installing the new updates so that if the problem occurs, they can prove that it was not caused by physical damage.
This is in unacceptable Samsung.

Another soldier down.
I was updating this to the April patch, Galaxy S21 Ultra. Samsung really brought a new green line issue. Oh and btw, the phone is in mint condition as you can see from prior tweets in my TL. Please tag users for reach. pic.twitter.com/unFLOkunA2
The issue is causing distrust in Samsung as the OLED display is one of the most expensive components of a smartphone. Despite numerous complaints, Samsung does not seem to have taken concrete steps to address the issue. Users are expecting the company to issue a statement on the matter as soon as possible to restore confidence in the brand.
