green line from top to bottom in center of screen, no drop no force mobile is not in warranty what to do?

Battery life isn't as much of a worry there probably as is with my a13, because the battery is really degraded, my father's s9+ lasts longer, it's more the ease of use, excluding battery, it seemingly chugs along just fine even for tod...

Yes it will (for my case). My phone is only about 1 year 3 months old. On my 10th month after the firmware update I got my 1st line.
