So the point to this matter is SamSung should do the right thing on that they are aware of it and any customer who bought phones during those times should be treated by replacing the defective part. This is not un-reasonable - this is practice by any civilized decent society to ask for what should be right.

I have only positive impressions and no issues to report. I doubt it is the SW as i had to run thru 4 or 5 updates ( 2 major OS updates) in a matter of 1 hour while setting up the phone. The device has performed as designed up until now. I got the latest A13 and the August security patch.

As I said I bought a M52 a month ago and I am running the latest updates - no issue whatsoever. My unit is the EU version. Blaming Samsung for such a conspiracy is not reasonable.

Spent IDR 4100k (about $265 on today's rate) on this phone in january 2022 for my wife then decided to buy another one more for myself. Both work perfectly.
Best thing is, this phone specs still on par with the latest A54 which is priced at $365.

Even I have got green line issue on my m52. I was just chatting with my friend and suddenly dim vertical green line started to appear. Then I immediately restarted my phone and it got solid green line. My Android security patch level is 1 june 2023. I went to service centre and told me to replace the display and it would cost around 7700rs.

SamSung sucks big time now. After extensive and exhaustive efforts and pleads to SamSung PH, and even acknowledging of their awareness of this hardware defect, they will not cover it and stated it will cost me 4600 Php to have this repair with a new screen.
I therefore lodged a public civil complaint against SamSung PH and waiting for this to play out. In the mean time, I will go grab my phone back from the SM-North Annex Service Ctr now.

Anonymous, 11 Sep 2023After warranty completes Green line and Pink line started
The "green line" issue on Samsung AMOLED screens is a hardware problem that cannot be fixed by software ¹. It indicates that your display has been damaged, and only replacing the hardware assembly can fix it ¹. The affected phone's display needs to be replaced, and such repair can possibly include the display assembly and the motherboard, depending on the phone model ¹. If you are experiencing this issue, please get in touch with customer support to initiate a repair. Free repair under warranty may or may not be applicable, depending on the circumstances ¹.
If you are experiencing a green line \ tint on your Samsung screen, it is a device defect. AMOLED is a display using self-lighting of each pixel and has a characteristic that allows seeing very dark areas that LCD cannot express. When you lower the screen brightness on a dark screen (such as Dark mode), the screen color looks green (green stains, greenish) or purple ³⁴.

BP, 31 Aug 2023I just got the same issue and don't know who to resolve it.So - this is the low-down. The solid green-line is a hardware problem defect from AMOLED screens. I did tons of research and the only way around it is to replace the entire screen. I took my M52 to Samsung Service Ctr near me last Tues, and today they sent me txt msg that they are still working on it. In regards to being charge on it, I admonish in the strongest term that it was caused by the June 1 patch update that got applied recently. So now I am waiting for them to update me the cost of repair, still being determined by their head-office here in Phils - will update on that outcome

I immediately shutdown the phone, then after 5 mins power-on, but the solid-green line is still there. Next, I went to software update and my version is still latest as of June 1 patch. I then dialed SAMSUNG-PH local direct # and the next thing the green-solid line disappear.
Did anyone experience this bizarre but troubling issue >

nico5 sam, 24 Aug 2023The ' Dont buy this phone' phrase is not helpful ... moreYes, the phone was released last quarter of 2012 but didn't really hit the European market until Jan 2022. The phone is still available on Amazon.de and I bought mine in Czechia last week from one of the biggest online resellers. I have used the phone for a week and I cant really report anything unusual so far. My other phone is Oppo Reno6 5G which is my first-choice because of its compact size.

Main reason I bought was as a secondary phone, and it's priced at 14K Php, at that time.along with a free-5G SIM card and half price on a pair of Samsung ear Buds2 SM-R117. Today, I find it as one of my Main PHones, kept it on good handling condition, OS updates up-to-date, and double my storage via mini-SD card. Really have no complaint on this M52-5G. I also do share my honest real-world user experiences here to share to all.

I don't really understand the negative comments about the screen ! On Amazon Germany out of 2000 + comments, there is not a single one that mentions a stripe across the screen!!
I have seen approximately 20 comments on the web regrading this screen problem and none of them are related to an European unit.
