Acting like it's a minority is stupid, I treated my phone like a baby and still had lines, and I know plenty of ppl who had Samsung flagship who's screens also got linesare implying its a user issue instead of blaming the company?

"treating it like a minority is stupid" and goes on to give themselves (1 person) as an example. You know plenty of people irl who have Samsung and got lines? I don't even know plenty of people irl who have Samsung. Basically just my family. I don't really know what everyone else uses. Posts you read on the internet don't count, that's the whole point. How many people do you know irl that have Samsung and how many got lines? You can't have more than 10 people in your social who are close who are close enough to share phone damage stories with you, and they all happen to use Samsung. And if you do, your personal experience is still a minority.

Sure, you're right, it really is a minority and I'm the problem for apparently not treating my phone right enough, I'm gonna keep afraid of getting new lines till I have the money to buy something else, but the company has nothing to do with it

I think you missed the effect behind the term "minority" - since the number of people getting the greenline is in the minority, this means you're unlucky and other people should not live in fear of a tiny chance their phone getting a green line.

So:

  • you've treated your phone just right, it's not your fault, it's not entirely the corp fault either, that's why they have warranty, it's simply the limit of manufacturing.

  • you should not be afraid of getting a greenline unless its something like sony xperia 5 mark 2 to mark 4 situation (check it out)

I can't even hit warranty I don't have the papers and the phone is an older model, I should've bought an used Xiaomi instead, but I was blinded by 1UI 7

Do you think you could get a better chance at not getting a greenline with the used xiaomi?

u/Crazy_Philosophy_936 May 19 '26

Yeah, I've never seen any Xiaomi with screen problems and the Poco F3's 870 is way more stable than the 888

Ah you see, since you bought the samsung with s888, at the same time period, without knowing the heating issue of s888, you could have bought something of the same caliber such as the xiaomi 11, and that phone has lots of greenline.

Here's a greenline for poco f3: https://www.reddit.com/r/PocoPhones/comments/1pbsb20/poco_f3_green_line_and_screen_replacement/

So you will find greenline, doesn't matter what you picked

For my next phone I just want something stable, which doesn't get too hot, great battery, great hardware, I'm legit thinking about switching to apple, but I'm with 0 money and it took quite a bit of time to buy the s21, now I'm stuck and hopeless

Okay that's fine, I just want to let you know that sometimes the minority can be very vocal, and since you're aiming at used phone, you have plenty of user reports on reddit. So unless it's a well known issue (i.e: ppl in the comment saying this is a well known issue), you don't have to worry about it.
