It looks like Samsung’s Galaxy S series is the victim of the terrible green and/or pink lines issue. Consumers of Galaxy S20 Plus are already facing the problem and now it’s popping up on its predecessor. Following the May update installation, some Galaxy S21 users reported green/pink lines problems.
According to user reports, their Galaxy S21 series smartphones have also become the victim of the green/pink lines issue, which appeared on the Galaxy S20 lineup. And even those annoying display lines have appeared without any kind of drop or external damage/water insertion.

Samsung released the Galaxy S21 in early 2021, and the lineup has completed two years of launch at this point. As the devices got out of warranty, it becomes a pricey concern to get the screen replaced, as it could cost approx $300 in the United States.
Consumers say that they first noticed a single colored line on the screen, which further expanded with the second colored line. As Samsung consumers are aware of the display problem, they are not making efforts to solve it through a firmware update, as it’s not a solution at all.
The Galaxy S21 series models are quite expensive and Samsung should acknowledge the problem. A free screen replacement program should be opened for Galaxy users where they can reach and get their phones checked. If found it manufacturer defect, the screen should be replaced free of cost.
The next Galaxy Unpacked could be held in South Korea in late July, where, Samsung will unveil the next-gen foldable smartphones. Meanwhile, a report now talks about the possible launch date of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 in the US and Canada.
According to MySmartPrice sources, Samsung is expected to hold a separate Unpacked event in the US and Canada to launch the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5. The company is considering August for the event, which was previously rumored as the global availability date.

The South Korean tech giant is scheduled to unveil the new phones for the first time in its home ground as it sees potential in Asia. However, the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked launch event will also be hosted in the US and Canada on August 11.
Apart from the new foldables, the company will launch the Galaxy Watch 6 series smartwatches, Galaxy Tab S9 flagship tablets, and the next-generation SmartTag tracking accessory. We expect Samsung could also share details about its Android update plan for the Galaxy devices.
Samsung didn’t launch the Galaxy S22 FE due to the global economic slowdown. However, it doesn’t seem to be the same case for the Galaxy S23 FE as Samsung got greenlit on the upcoming model’s battery from the South Korean certification authority.
According to the info, a smartphone battery carrying model number EB-BS711ABY has been certified by SafetyKorea. The model number of the battery matches with the rumors that popped up revealing the existence of the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE.

Since the battery photograph uploaded by SafetyKorea is not clearly visible, it’s hard to confirm the capacity. However, past rumors claimed that the Galaxy S23 FE will come packed with a battery capacity of 4,500 mAh along with 25W fast charging support.
Galaxy S23 FE
Samsung has recently started firmware development of the Galaxy S23 FE for European CSC. These developments hint that the company has plans to release this device in key markets. And it’s worth noting that it could come pre-loaded with Android 14 and get an early 2024 release.
