In today’s internet age, wherever you look, be it on YouTube, Reddit, or Instagram, people are complaining about the OnePlus display’s green line issue. OnePlus smartphone users have reported that after a software update, when the phone restarts, a green vertical line appears on the screen, which may sound strange but is indeed a reality.
So, what exactly is this green line issue? This green line issue is associated with AMOLED display technology, a problem that famous brands like Samsung, Vivo, Xiaomi, and even iPhones have encountered. After the green line appears, the phone remains usable for some time, but as time goes on, the number of lines increases until the display eventually dies.
Major Reasons for the Green Line Issue in OnePlus Phones
Users have been troubled by the sudden appearance of green lines on their OnePlus devices. This issue has affected many users worldwide, causing apprehension about purchasing new OnePlus devices. Generally, the green line issue is a sign of hardware damage that occurs when the display is internally damaged, often due to dropping the phone or water damage.
However, according to user reports, it has been revealed that OnePlus’s software update is causing the issue. Users claim they started experiencing the problem after installing a recent software update. Some users have even reported the green line appearing on their phones without any software update.
How to Fix the OnePlus Green Line Issue on the Display?
