Shit! My 2yrs old S23 Ultra got the pink light saber today after I updated to One Ui 7.0 last few days.

I took care of my phone very carefully. Ringke casing since day one.

Been loyal to Samsung since Note 5. Changed phone almost every year until 2023. All High end S/Note series. At the end, what do i get from this? I have to pay >RM1000 for replacing the screen, which was damaged by itself due to software update.

Screw it! No more support from me to Samsung. Goodbye, it's been a long ride. And good luck to you all.

Yes.. it come suddenly.
Happened to my S20U, S22U and Flip 3.
Very disapointed with Samsung Malaysia attitude which try to avoid giving free screen replacement by giving time period.
They should giving one free screen replacement without grace period and/or any question asked. These pesky green, pink or white lines usually come after updating official firmware and mostly after our warranty ended.

Hey guys, latest update of my S23 Ultra.

I decided to go to the service centre (Pandan Indah branch) to try my luck on requesting free screen replacement. Surprise surpirse. They do have free replacement campaign ongoing. However, it's not announced to the public. Don't call. You may not be able to get the correct answer on this. You have to pay a visit to the service centre to enquire. The staff don't know when is the dateline of the campaign though.

The procedure is quite simple. On Friday I left my phone on the spot, they sent it to the HQ and did diagnosis at there. Monday finished repaired and they called me to collect the phone. Brand new screen. They also reglued the back cover. Labor fee RM85 + SST.

Although I already jumpship to Honor, I am still glad to have my S23 Ultra back to pristine condition. Hopefully the vertical line won't happen again. And yes, I will never update my S23 Ultra software anymore.

Well, I don't care. They didn't mention it. I didn't ask.

Honestly, if the new screen get vertical line again within next 3 months, I may as well just ditch the phone and never turn back. No point to claim the warranty again and again if they can't fix the problem completely.

Oh man, all the paranoid comments about Samsung OLEDs despite being used widely by all high tier smartphone.

That's why don't take your phone into bath, swimming etc. Nothing last forever.

There's about 6 Samsung phones in my family (S22U/S23U/S23FE) and I have yet to see a single one failing. Not even the older S9+. The only failure was my wife S8+ screen which turned black and white (not light saber) and replaced under warranty. Still works like charm today.
