Recently, some users have complained about Samsung phones having screen stripes after updating, mainly older versions like the Galaxy S21.
Theo Android Authority, screen stripes (a green stripe) mainly appear on older Samsung phones such as Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21 Ultra and Galaxy S21 FE. The exact cause is yet to be determined, however, most reports suggest that the problem is related to a recent software update.
Some users seem to have encountered the green streak at random, while others attribute the error to software updates or intense use, such as gaming.

The exact cause of screen stripes is still unclear. While this could just be a software glitch, software-related glitches usually have to be fixed with a simple reboot or factory reset. However, the reality is that the problem persists for some users.
What causes stripes on the phone screen?
The cause of the green stripe is most likely due to a faulty display connector or cable. These internal components link the display to the phone’s main circuit board, and any damage or looseness within them can lead to display malfunctions.
When trying to search on social media platforms, many users have encountered similar problems with older Samsung phone models. Most of those cases are also related to software updates.
While Samsung has yet to officially acknowledge the issue, the company has been providing repair and replacement services for similar issues previously encountered by Galaxy S20 series users.
If your Samsung phone has screen stripes, you should proactively record the problem with photos or videos and present your case to Samsung’s warranty company.
Screen stripes on phones are not new
At the end of 2022, many users complained about their iPhone 14 Pro suddenly displaying blue stripes across the screen when they were just turned on. At the time, Apple acknowledged the problem and said it was not a hardware failure. At the same time, he promised to release an update soon to fix the screen stripes error on iPhone 14 Pro.
Over the past year, the green stripe issue has also affected smartphone models using AMOLED screens from other manufacturers, such as OnePlus. The company has responded to the complaints and offered a lifetime screen warranty to affected customers in India.
