Hi Guys,

I’m in a bit of a dilemma and could really use your suggestions. I bought my Galaxy S22+ back in March 2023 for ₹75,000, and it’s been 2 years.

In March 2025, I started noticing a faint green line near the front camera on the left side and a faint pink line on the right side of the display. These lines were initially only visible on bright white or yellow backgrounds and weren’t very noticeable.

However, over time, the issue worsened. As of now (June 2025), the display has developed four bright lines, as shown in the image 


My phone didn’t experience any major physical damage or recent software updates that could’ve triggered this. I’ve used the phone carefully for normal usage and  this issue just appeared out of nowhere.


When I took it to the Samsung service center, they quoted me ₹18,000 for a screen replacement, which feels unreasonable given that there’s no guarantee the issue won’t resurface in another year.


I’ve lost trust in Samsung because of this experience. It’s frustrating to pay such a premium for a flagship phone only for the display to fail prematurely. I’m now considering upgrading to a different Android flagship-level (camera centric) phone, but I’m not sure which one to pick.


Need help choosing a flagship Android phone after my S22+ developed multiple screen lines
