I know this is not the right place to vent out. A green line just popped out on my screen without any reason I can think off. I placed my phone over head when I sleep and after waking up there's a faint thin line. After a couple of hours it became prominent and now it's annoying to look at the screen since it in the middle. I purchased the phone back on March 2022, S22 model 256GB and my very first flagship phone.
I love the design, the size in my hand, performance is superb and it's really gorgeous. Purchased and installed a case and screen protector and I also invested on other samsung devices to utilize their ecosystem (e.g. galaxy buds 2, pro 2, watch 4). I took really good care of the phone, never wanted it to be splashed with any liquid even with the ip resistant rating, never been dropped, didn't do any overnight charging, always prevent it from overheating but after 2 years of it's life span this green line issue popped out.
I researched it online, also found a group with the same issue and most of their devices are purchased during pandemic 2021-2022. Some said its due to a software update but I mine wasn't, it's very random. I brought it to the service center and explained that the line pops up out of nowhere.
The cs examined the phone, everything is pristine no damage or dents, just the normal wear on the black paint on the sides but I'm out of luck. She told me it's out of warranty even though I showed an article that Samsung from other countries acknowledged this issue and offered an out of warranty repair and others here locally also have similar defects. This isn't an isolated case since it's not just a handful of people but a lot of users. They the blame it as a user damage and quotes a $272 screen replacement fee.
Since I'm getting nowhere and pushing it isn't worth the time, I switched to a carrier promo Apple device. Probably my last device from Samsung. A very expensive phone that only lasts 2 years.
