I suppose 20 models screen problems is likely due to LCM controller or display ribbon cable failure due to prolonged overheating (exynos might be one of factor, but don't forget others like climate/environment, battery charging etc)

Possibly also the reason why samsung purposely want throttle the performance of newer phones with bs GOS bloatware

Edited to clarify more about the issue


Off topic a bit: my s10 lite (also 2020 model) also suffered from similar screen flickering/BSOD failure within months and I had to sent it for warranty on early 2021. Until now still fine the screen. However some 20 users ran out of luck due to screen failure AFTER normal warranty expired (samsung may know this so for next time preorder give care plus warranty package bundle with preorder freebies like 22 series now)

Only available for S21 series (and maybe later A series)

if you want to know the root cause of GSOD/screen green/pink lines, here is it

basically is due to QC issues on the display controller/ribbon part. the connection become loose over time due to subpar adhesive that bond the display controller/ribbon to the display panel itself. the prolonged overheating due to several causes including prolonged gaming, very high brightness when used outdoors (in some cases including using it as car navigation on car holder), and other factors can cause the adhesive to loose quicker

the exynos 990 tends to run hot so that's why exynos version has much higher risk of screen failure compared to snapdragon

GSOD, BSOD can happen literally to anyone if unlucky as long as using samsung oled phones

Plus Vietnam samseng QC very hampeh


GSOD, BSOD, usually due to screen ribbon cable loosen due to long tern overheating (for more details click show this member only on computer to see)

Most of the time is just coincidence, display ribbon failure can be happening anytime, maybe firmware update produce so much heat enough for ribbon to loosen

Regular, plus or ultra?

Depending on the varient, screen replacement is around 900-1000+ without labor

Trust me, this situation will become worse quickly until screen completely cannot on. Backup your data as soon as possible before planning about screen or phone replacement

it is sad that this escalate so quickly. pain of owning samoled phones. will samsung accept dead screen one for trade up for new models purchase?

welcome to iphone (just in case)

or try realme/xiaome? given samseng QC is just not better and probably better off with these chinese makes

Lol green lines usually only affects flexibility oled paned


S20FE seems like no such issues yet so far because using normal hard panel

#5G_is_fake because must get "blessing" from mcmc to use 5g. DNB by tengku zaiful aziz like left right hand gov crony

Imo don't buy samsung unless samsung can get their ribbon cable qc right

Ribbon cable qc poor > screen flicker, green tint, whiteout, green/pink line(s), screen eventually dead, warranty if lucky, if unlucky gg wallet

Get iphone, more peace of mind although their oled also got chance to fail as well

Other makers also oled screen start failing like oneplus 8 series and those same period with s20 too


Conclusion, ultimate way is go IPS LCD . The best screen around just phone makers got tricked by samseng oled



Why i say snapdragon is not absolutely safe

Many cases of screen failing as well in china, hong kong, taiwan, us etc, those market are snapdragon version, you can go see reddit, mobile01 or respective social media/forum see

Note 9 when this problem exactly start widespread after 1 or 2 years, gg need fork out 900 or so to replace

But this problem also can happen to s7edge, s9 etc although rarely happened

Ip68 thing is no guarantee anymore

Also s20 series another problem, back side glue no more stick, cause back side become loose, in this case ip68 is completely out of the table

1. Yes, but slower compared to malaysian set

2. Yes

3. idk whether oled issues will be on imported model, maybe relatively rare but still got chance

Any oled paned that is flexible (using COP, chip on plastic for thinner bottom bezel) is vulnerable to light saber issue
