Samsung is offering one-time free screen replacement on these Galaxy models
The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and select models plagued by the infamous green line issue are eligible for a one-time screen replacement at authorized service centers in India. This offer will be available until the end of the year, the company has confirmed. However, the South Korean tech conglomerate has placed some restrictions on the eligibility of devices, taking into account their purchase date, condition and other factors.
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra screen replacement
First discovers by tipster Tarun Vats, Samsung Support has confirmed that the screen replacement program is valid for the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, Galaxy S21 Series and Galaxy S21 FE 5G models that are out of warranty until December 31, 2024. However, the devices would not show any physical damage or signs of water damage.
Free screen replacement offered by Samsung
Gadgets 360 employees were able to contact Samsung Support to confirm the availability of this replacement program in the country.
The company will carry out the OCTA (On-Cell Touch AMOLED) assembly replacement along with free battery and kit replacement, albeit with some conditions. Samsung says devices are eligible for free parts replacement within three years of the purchase date. Moreover, only the first buyer can get the replacement upon presentation of the original invoice.
Although there is no cost to replace the parts, the labor costs for the repair are the responsibility of the customer. They can book an appointment at their nearby authorized service center to avail this offer.
However, this is not the first time that Samsung has introduced such an offer. In April, Samsung announced a special replacement program in the country for devices affected by the green line on screen issue. At the time, the list of eligible devices included the Samsung Galaxy S20 series, the Galaxy Note 20 series, Galaxy S21 series, and Galaxy S22. Reports have suggested that the green line issues have mainly occurred on Samsung smartphones with AMOLED displays after software updates. However, the technology giant is not the only Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) affected. Last month, OnePlus acknowledged the display issues surrounding several of its devices, claiming it was an “industry-wide challenge.”
