Samsung has offered free screen replacements for Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S21 phones affected by the green line issue in India. Affected users can get the screen replaced for free even if their devices are out of warranty. They have until April 30, 2024, to claim a free replacement via a Samsung Service Center.
Galaxy S22 & S21 phones with green line issues get free screen replacement
Samsung has been dealing with these kinds of screen issues on its Galaxy phones for some time now. Devices suddenly develop green or pink lines running vertically across the screen. The issues mostly affect devices with Super AMOLED displays and crop up after a software update. The lines do not have a fixed pattern—they may appear anywhere and in any number.
Last year, Samsung India offered free screen replacements for the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Note 20 phones with this issue. Just when we thought the company had addressed the problem for once and all, similar vertical lines started to appear on the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S21 devices. The Korean firm is once again replacing the screens for free, at least in India.
If you are using any of the aforementioned Samsung phones in India and are experiencing a green or pink line issue, you can visit a Samsung Service Center to replace the screen for free. The company will also replace the battery and the kit for no additional cost. You are essentially getting your entire out-of-warranty device refurbished for free. This is a great deal for an aging phone.
You have to keep a few things in mind, though. Firstly, this policy only applies to phones purchased in the last three years. Since the Galaxy S20, Galaxy Note 20, and Galaxy S21 lineups are more than three years old, people who purchased them early (before April 2021) are out of luck. You also must book an appointment at a Samsung Service Center before the end of this month.
Samsung could extend the deadline if the issue continues to affect more devices
Samsung India’s deadline of April 30 for booking an appointment to get a free screen replacement applies to devices already affected by the green line issue. If the problem continues to crop up on more devices in the coming weeks, the company may extend the deadline. This issue doesn’t appear to be widespread outside of India. However, if you are having a similar issue in other regions, reach out to Samsung’s customer service.
