Introducing the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, one of the most popular flagship smartphones on the market. However, it seems that this device has encountered a peculiar problem that has been causing frustration for some users. Reports have been flooding in about a green line appearing vertically on the screen. In some cases, this green line is even connected to a thin white line horizontally.
One user, who goes by the pseudonym Qu1JcMmaCO, shared their experience and posted about this issue on the official Samsung forum. They have also witnessed the green line and white line appearing on their Galaxy S24 Ultra. These lines have been observed while watching YouTube videos or even just on the phone’s home screen. Seeking assistance, the owner reached out to Samsung Care+ customer support, who recognized it as a manufacturing defect. To their dismay, the manufacturer refused to provide a replacement device, advising the customer to return the phone and purchase a new one instead. As a result, all discounts associated with the initial order were lost. Samsung, in their final suggestion, proposed that the phone owner should contact the T-Mobile network operator to file a complaint.
On Reddit, another Galaxy S24 Ultra owner reported experiencing the same problem. However, Samsung denied any responsibility, stating that it was a “Verizon network issue.” At one Verizon store, customers were informed that the lines were caused by the users themselves. After countless efforts to find a resolution with another Verizon retailer, the customer decided to purchase a new Galaxy S24 Ultra and return the defective phone. Unfortunately, the replacement phone was a different model due to a special offer, causing concern about the loss of discounts in the process.
Thankfully, the issue with the screen is limited to specific models of the Galaxy S24 Ultra sold by carriers in the United States. Those who purchase an unlocked phone directly from a Samsung store need not worry. Regrettably, Samsung has not taken appropriate action for phones sold through carrier services. They currently demand that customers return the defective device and purchase a new one, resulting in the loss of discounts associated with the original order. In some cases, the carriers may also charge an additional $50 fee for returns. If you encounter this defect with your Galaxy S24 Ultra and agree to a replacement, make sure there are no additional costs incurred, and that discounts associated with the previous order are not lost.
