Anyone has experience with this Otterbox store on Lazada. Says 100% original/Lazada global and selling for only RM60. Otterbox malaysia is selling their products close to RM200.

I mean it ships from China and it's ridiculously cheap but they do have Otterbox official as the store name so I'm confused

my unit gets the flickering screen too. it only happened right after rebooting my device. The screen flickered a few times, after that no more.

Mine used to be like that too. Started a few weeks back. Restart and it would work again. Now my screen has this constant horizontal flickering lines when it decides to work.

When the screen is turned off for a period of time, the screen would turn all white with the green horizontal lines and would become totally unusable. I found out the screen would become usable again with the flickering lines when you wait for like 1-2 min lol

which units are these can share?
*
S20+ . I thought mine got like this because I dropped my phone from time to time but a lot of people seemed to experienced this so yeah definitely Samsung's hardware fault.



Anyways, the service centre quoted me RM943 for replacement. So yeah. Be careful with your units guys. Mine is the first batch I think since I pre ordered it.

Will be the last time I pre ordered anything from Samsung. Might as well go back to Iphone. Wanted to opt for a trade in to the S21+ but it only supports 1080p screen what a joke from Sammy lol

Anyways, i asked a reputable 3rd party near me and even they told me to just go the service centre. They said 3rd party use refurbished LCD and more expensive lol

My S21 so far so good with SD

Nice. But still a lot of complaints from people. I'll avoid the 888 and only the Ultra has QHD resolution so extra avoid lol

omg ... Oneplus ah...can forget it la, no longer flagship killer like it used to...but hey, if you like to venture there go ahead biggrin.gif laugh.gif

Because OP has become a flagship laugh.gif

Last time im have used the s21 SD version it quite good..compared to other sd888 that i have used such as mi 11, op9pro quite ok compared to mi 11.
In terms of sd888 in the phone s21>op9pro>mi 11..thats based on my experience using all these la
*
Yeah I heard similar but still gonna avoid it. No QHD on the non ultra is an extra reason for me to not go for it. The 888 uses Samsung's manufacturing process instead of TSMC so that's why laugh.gif

yikes. should warranty be covered for this right? my unit is still in warranty period.
*
Yup the service centre said warranty does cover it


This is how mine looked like but I didn't have the green tint or it wasn't that obvious. But now my screen has suddenly decided to go back to normal again. Let's see how long it will last this time.






Apparently the S21 has the a black screen of death too lol
