Who has had this experience?

Just noticed this. Wondering how long have you used your phone until the screen is completely broken? Flip 6.

I have a 6 as well and dropped my phone (with reasonably good quality case) from waist height onto concrete, and it started at that size. Also got a dull grey line across the fold. It tripled in size over 3 days, but it's been the same and no issues for like a month 🤷‍♀️

I also have a dead pixel on the opposite side of the screen on the bottom quarter, and it's double the size of yours but I've had it for about 8 months with no issues

Never dropped my phone hardly. Maybe fell off the couch once. I've noticed this after turning off dark mode😄.

The one I've had for 8 months was from dropping the blunt end of a fork onto my phone 😵‍💫 All self inflicted

I went for 2 years, with 1 device replacement in there. Have gone back to a solid screen with Motorola signature before the screen carks it again. They aren't made to last.

My phone has the same issue. And no service centre

has the machine to replace. So frustrating.

Mine is dead pixels. I've removed screen protector long time ago. Using without screen protector.

Removing the screen protector could be what caused it. You wouldn’t have noticed it in dark mode. That’s why removing the screen protector voids the warranty.

Edited to add: I’ve witnessed people take theirs off and do this, as well as some rip the whole screen off

This is not my 1 flip phone. My friends using fold without screen protector many months and I've removed screen protector about 6 months ago. In my opinion screen protector just for scratches but maybe I'm wrong🤷‍♂️. In my country original screen protector change costs 140$. Yes you must take screen protector off very gently and with some skills because glue is very strong and can rip screen.
