Samsung seems to have an issue with their phones that has been affecting their devices for years. This is where green lines appear on Samsung phones for seemingly no reason at all. Now it looks like Samsung phones are experiencing that issue again. Some seem to think that it could be due to the One UI 6.0 update or the latest security patch.
According to user complaints online, it doesn’t appear to affect any particular model. Some users are reporting issues with their Galaxy S22 phones. Devices like the Galaxy S21 FE are also affected, along with the Galaxy Z Flip 3 and some mid-range handsets. Seeing as this issue popped up after the update, it looks like a software issue and not a hardware one.
So this happened today @SamsungMobile @SamsungIndia. THE GREATEST FEAR OF SAMSUNG AMOLED USER. It's S22 plus, I updated my phone yesterday late night and in the morning display showed its true color. I didn't drop my phone or any excessive amount of pressure was applied to it 1/3 pic.twitter.com/2ZZF2jrE8H

Samsung has yet to comment on the issue, so if you’re affected, you could try to take it into a service center and see what can be done for you. If your phone is old and no longer under warranty, you might be charged if you want to replace the display, assuming that it is a hardware problem and not a software related issue.
Hopefully this is a problem that can be patched with an update. Like we said, Samsung hasn’t really said anything regarding these issues yet. We’ll have to wait and see how it is resolved. In the meantime, if you don’t have an urgent need to update your phone, maybe stay away from updating until a fix can be found.
