                      My S21 screen just died, always black except sometimes completely green...As the golden edge of the frame had a lot of scratches in my purple version, i got rid of it. But it was a very good phone, great size and good cameras. So i just bought a 8/256 GB S21 FE, and it is even better than S21 for half the price. Very easy to save and restore your data with Samsung cloud.

                        Bought a year ago, No green line issue here but a white ring around the front camera cutout like a burn (not much visible at all so no problem to me). Super fast charging is now little bit slow cuz oneui 5 update slowed down the charging speed (0% to 85% about 55minutes. before 46min). And the camera, there's some blurred areas in photos which is really annoying to me when taking close pictures of documents. I didn't noticed that before so, cannot confirm that it is a hardware thing or a software issue. One problem about the frame, is rusting or something like that. Everything else about performance is perfect as new. I don't play games at all but I tried genshin impact once, and never again. Because I believe that the extreme heat when playing caused that burn around the camera cutout. Ah not only around camera, around the whole screen too.

                        Model: SM-G991W (Snapdragon varient)
