S21 FE 5G: green line

[userR5Tnh26lHj]

After the last one UI 6.1 UPDATE my phone had a vertical green line appear. Today a 2nd one appeared. Has anyone else had this issue? Is Samsung offering to replace these screens? It seems to be a hardware failure issue

Sorry, your phone is over 3 years old now, and out of warranty. I sincerely doubt Samsung will do any type of screen replacement at no cost to you.

[userR5Tnh26lHj]

Yeah you're probably right. I have seen lots of people in India complaining about it the screen lines. I swear I think Samsung takes the parts from batch lots that don't QC and make the FE's out of them.

Plus the fe version is like budget friendly it's not like the higher up s series 🤷🏽:female_sign:

I paid $799 for the phone from the Samsung website. I wouldn't call it "budget friendly". The A71 and A30 maybe...not the FE. It's a Galaxy S which is part of its flagship line of products

[Ziahh]

Yes thats def not budget friendly, i mean after this new update i think they are not updating the FE series

Think of it like this:
S21- (FE)
S21
S21+
S21 Ultra
Still a flagship, but a little worse than the rest of the lineup. It is definitely not budget friendly. The "budget friendly" phones are the A-Series, NOT the FE (Fan Edition).

[Ziahh]

What is the point of FE like isnt everyone who has a samsung a "Fan" so what makes the FE different?

[AJMiller]

It's just a phone that is offered for people who don't want the A-Series, but can't afford the top of the line flagships. It's still a flagship, just not as powerful.

Thank you for clearing that up for me 😊
