I got my Galaxy Fold 4 in April 2023. A couple days ago I noticed a small black dot near the bottom of the screen almost exactly center. Today there is also a thin green line that goes from the right side of the dot to the edge of the screen. The line looks fluorescent. This only appears when the phone is fully open. However, it doesn't go away. I had the Fold 1 and 2 and never had this happen with them. I took a screenshot of it and it does not appear in the photo. Can someone tell me what this is or how to fix it? It doesn't affect the phone working but it's annoying. Thanks in advance.

I highly recommend taking the phone into your closest Samsung authorized service center, like uBreakiFix or Best Buy's Geeksquad, for further evaluation. They will be able to identify the source of this screen problem and provide you with a solution.
