    OnePlus Unveils Simple Solution for Green Line Display Issues

    Green line problems are not a new thing for OnePlus, just like many other brands that have phones with AMOLED screens. However, it looks like OnePlus is taking a strong stance on this issue. The brand has just revealed a new “worry-free” solution, aiming to fix this display issue through three main steps, one of which focuses on providing “unmatched” display technology.

    Enhanced Display Technology

    OnePlus has stated that their AMOLED displays will now include an “Enhanced Bonding Layer.” According to the company, this layer utilizes PVX edge-sealing material, which serves as a protective barrier. This barrier is designed to reduce the amount of moisture and oxygen that can get through, ultimately improving the lifespan of the display.

    Rigorous Testing Procedures

    In addition to the new bonding layer, OnePlus is performing extensive quality tests on the AMOLED displays in its phones. They claim to conduct over 180 tests that mimic extreme real-world scenarios. This thorough process is intended to bring down the chances of green line problems to “an industry low.”

    Lifetime Warranty for Display Issues

    Finally, OnePlus has shared that it will provide a lifetime warranty on all of its smartphones, including older models, for any green line problems. This means that even if your phone is no longer under the standard warranty, you can still get a display replacement if you experience green lines on your screen.

    It’s important to mention that this isn’t the first time OnePlus has dealt with green line issues. Previously, the company provided discount vouchers to certain users in India who experienced this problem. However, if OnePlus follows through on its latest promise, users may very well enjoy a “worry-free” experience in this area.

    OnePlus has rolled out a complimentary screen replacement scheme in India for certain smartphone models facing the “green line” display issue. This initiative caters to OnePlus 8 Pro, 8T, 9, and 9R models, providing users with a free screen replacement.

    Expansion Plans to Other Regions

    This step is in response to the growing occurrence of the “green line” issue, a hardware malfunction often confused with a software glitch. OnePlus aims to alleviate customer concerns and improve device longevity through this initiative.

    Although currently exclusive to India, OnePlus has indicated plans to possibly extend the program to other regions. Additionally, the company has introduced new screen technology to enhance moisture and temperature resistance.

    Program Limitations

    It’s crucial to mention that this free replacement program specifically addresses the “green line” issue and does not include physical damage to the screen.

  • Nothing Phone (2a) Green Line Issue: Software Update or Hardware?

    Nothing Phone (2a) Green Line Issue: Software Update or Hardware?

    London-based tech company Nothing has recently launched the budget-friendly Nothing Phone (2a) in various markets, including India. Initially, the phone had several performance and camera issues, but Nothing has addressed most of these through multiple updates. However, the notorious "green line issue" has now appeared on the Phone (2a).

    Green Line Issue Emerges

    This problem is familiar to smartphones using OLED displays. Previous cases have shown brands like Samsung, Motorola, and OnePlus dealing with similar issues. An X (formerly Twitter) user has shared photos and a video of a Phone (2a) exhibiting a vertical green line on the right side of the screen. The device in question also has the latest Nothing OS 2.5.5.a update, released around 19 days ago. This seems to be the first known instance of a green line appearing on the Phone (2a).

    Potential Causes and Observations

    The user did not mention when or how the issue started. Notably, many green line problems on OnePlus and Samsung phones have emerged following software updates. While brands have not explicitly explained this, investigations suggest that software updates may change display parameters, like voltage settings, causing an electrical fault in the display that appears as a green line of dead pixels.

    There are other possible reasons for these green lines, including physical damage from dropping, bending, or applying too much pressure on the display. Additionally, damage or defects in the display connector or the flex cable connecting to the motherboard can also cause this issue.

    Current Status

    Regarding the Nothing Phone (2a), no other reports of the green line issue have been found on X or the Nothing Community forums, indicating that this might be an isolated case for now. Stay tuned for further updates on this matter.
