Samsung, the smartphone manufacturer, released the May 2023 Update for its Galaxy models in the past weeks, which infuriated users. Hundreds of people encountered a frustrating issue. Today, Samsung provided free support for the first time to a user regarding this matter. Here are the details…
Samsung has started offering free screen replacements for the vertical line issue!
With the update it released, Samsung aimed to improve system stability, but it didn’t turn out that way. Many users who installed the new version started complaining about a vertical line appearing on the screen in green/pink/blue colors. Later on, it was learned that the issue only occurred on panels produced by Samsung.
Despite users’ reports, Samsung did not provide any support regarding this matter. Moreover, many people stated that the brand requested a fee for screen replacement to solve the problem.
However, today a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra user mentioned that despite the warranty period of the phone being expired, they received free screen and battery replacement to resolve the issue at a Samsung service center. It seems that the brand has officially acknowledged this problem.
