The reason is the poor thermal management of the processor . Green line appear after update because some people download the update using mobile data which causes extreme temperature of phone and sudden install of the update gives extra loads leading to high internal temperature which is enough to damage the display components

I have the Exynos variant. Overheating occurs at a very high rate, so the battery backup only provides two and a half to three hours at most.

This phone would be perfect if it use othe SoC like Snap 870 or any SoC that have the same peformance n' anything like the Snap 888.
REASON: Overheating Issues
AND the display. MAYBE if it use othe type of Amoled/Oled it will be better
REASON: Greenline/Lightsaber, n' Greenscreen Issues

Samsung must do something with this phone. After One UI7 phone getting hot very easily. Even on simple task like watching reels on facebook or instagram, phone getting extremely hot. This is not normal! Fix your updates!!!

axorld, 20 Jun 2025A white line just appeared after I woke up this morning. Welcome to the club!
The worst part? Samsung service center employee was sure that I dropped the phone and the update (or the heating from the update) have nothing to do with it...
It started as 1 line, 3 weeks later now its 2 lines and more to come... I have to either pay almost half the price I paid for it for a new screen or get a new phone.

I personally really like the phone, jave ot 3 years now, but didn't happy with recent updates. In my case, phone worked better with One UI 6.1. The only things i like in One UI 7 are animations and some ui elements. I dont like new icons. They're awful and looks like 2010-2011 Nokia Meego OS. I'm not telling that its horrible update, but definitely not great one.

Goan, 21 May 2025Agree. I too have updated my S21 FE (2100) to the latest so... moreAn update to my last post:
A few days after I updated my S21 FE to the One UI7 software, I suddenly got one dreaded green line on my screen. I literally saw it appear as I turned on the lock screen. Till then, the S21 FE had served me beautifully ever since I had bought the phone in January 2023. I have taken great care of it and there has been no physical damage and not a single scratch on the phone.
I went on the internet and found that this is a common issue with AMOLED screens across various brands of mobile phones. Manufacturers are reportedly aware of this issue and One Plus even offers lifetime screen replacement for the green line issues.
I went to the Samsung Customer Centre in Goa-India and was told that Samsung has a 3-year policy on its screens and will replace the screens for free, provided there is no physical damage on the screen. I was told that I would have to pay Rs 413 (labour costs + GST) to have the screen replaced. They would take my handset and have it sent by courier to their company for repairs and it could take about 2 weeks for this process.
I handed over my S21FE to the Samsung Customer Centre on May 31 and began using my daughter’s old Redmi 9 Activ as a standby phone. I received my S21FE on June 17and then added a new screen cover. It is working perfectly fine now.
I gather that S21FE will be provided with Android 16 as its final update. But given Samsung’s 3-year policy of replacing screens for free, and the fact that my phone is already two-and-half years old, I am reluctant to upgrade my S21FE to Android 16, as I fear a green line could suddenly and unexpectedly appear if and when I update to Android 16. It is better to have a fully functional phone with Android 15, rather than a phone with one or more green lines with Android 16.

I did not like the latest update, all the interface, apps and icons have changed which makes it hard to adapt, and I feel like the battery life worsen, taking longer to charge and drains faster

After OneUi7 update animations and ui looks better, but phone didnt work better than before. Even worse. Battery life is bad and some transitions looks laggy. For example if you exit app and try quickly to open recent apps it feels laggy and slow. Need few seconds to recognise what you want to do. Very annoying. Also ram management seems poor than previos ver. Few times after update apss closed by itself. Never happened bfor. Need improvement.

This phone with one ui 7 is a beast, powerful, fast and slim, mine is the exynos version, but still a beast in performance after 3 years.
