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.
