Got my S20 Ultra from Smart Communications last April 2020. This is my 1st Samsung phone. Got my 3M stickers at the back, screen protector, armoured casing. Absolute protection from physical damages was applied. 

Until I noticed slight flickering 2 weeks ago. I just ignored it. Until last July 19, the screen went completely green and unusable. Referred the problem to samsung service center. They didn't see any physical defect on it. Service report said that screen needs to be replaced. Total cost is 10580 pesos. I got no choice but to proceed.. 

Hey Samsung. This is not suppose to happen on a premium device. Durability comes with your flagship series. Consumers are paying for it. I've read a lot of problems regarding flickering and green screens in the s20 series. I hope you look into this matter.

I think its clear that its a software issue that samsung has yet to addressed. My **bleep** faced the same thing as OP even after updating the software. I tinkered with it for abit and somehow the screen went back to normal. If its a screen issue this would not be the case. Hopefully that remains but I wont take my chances - might switch out of samsung.

Thanks for bringing this up. I faced exactly the same issue - where flickering started with few minor lines and in few days it completely went green. This happened after an update.

This is very disappointing - faced the same challenge where I went to the service center where they asked for 19000 INR for screen replacement.

Since this is happening to many users this is certainly a manufacturing defect. Which Samsung should take care. Being a loyal samsung customer of many appliances - TV, fridge, microwave, washing machine - I was expecting better service.

Had same problem september last year. Turned on my phone again a couple of days ago after not using it for a year and rebooted several times, green flickering screen went off, updated to latest software version. So far problem didnt came back. Though, noticed some unnoticeable minor small flickers when on a white background, but doesnt bother me that much.
