Green line on Samsung S22 after 2.5 years

I bought a Samsung S22 from the official Samsung store at Low Yat Plaza in December 2023. At the same time, two of my cousins also bought Samsung S22s from the same Samsung store.

​

This month (June 2026), all three of us started getting the green line issue on our screens. Note: none of us installed a software update before it appeared. The lines showed up a few days/weeks apart from each other. None of our phones were dropped recently.

​

My first cousin who got the issue already has 2 green lines now. The second line appeared about a week after the first one.

​

It seems a bit coincidental that all three devices developed the exact same problem around the same time, especially considering they were all bought from the same batch period. Anyone else with an S22 experiencing this recently? Is this just what happens when these phones reach around 2.5 years old?
