TL;DR<\/p>\n
Several Galaxy S23 users are reporting green and pink line issues after the One UI 8.5 update.
\nSome claim the problem occurs when the phone overheats during the update.
\nSamsung service centers are reportedly quoting Rs. 19,500 (~$206) for a screen replacement.<\/p>\n
Samsung\u2019s One UI 8.5 rollout<\/a> has been quite fast once it began, and it has added a bunch of new features. However, if you\u2019re using a Galaxy S23, you might want to hold off on updating to One UI 8.5 just yet.<\/p>\n According to several reports<\/a>, users are seeing the dreaded green line defect on their Galaxy S23 smartphones after the latest One UI 8.5 update. Some are even reporting pink lines on their screens after the update.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n Some users report that the problem\u00a0occurs when the phone overheats during the update, and one user even\u00a0said<\/a> they keep their phone on an ice tray while updating to prevent it from overheating. Excessive heat (often alongside humidity) is a common factor in green line issue reports, but it\u2019s not the guaranteed cause,\u00a0so take this information with a pinch of salt.<\/p>\n Reports are not limited to Reddit, either. We\u2019ve seen reports on other platforms, including on X, where a user said<\/a> their Galaxy S23 Ultra showed\u00a0green lines on the screen after updating to One UI 8.5.<\/p>\n Another report<\/a> on the Samsung community page also mentions pink lines showing up on a Galaxy S23 Ultra screen after the One UI 8.5 update.<\/p>\n There\u00a0have been many\u00a0other<\/a>\u00a0reports<\/a> of green and pink lines appearing on Galaxy S23 devices over the past month, coinciding with the recent rollout of One UI 8.5.<\/p>\n To make matters worse, Samsung doesn\u2019t have a no-questions-asked replacement policy for such defects. The company offers a free screen replacement for affected Galaxy S23 devices, but it\u2019s only available within three years of purchase. If your smartphone is out of warranty, the company will not fix your display for free. According to reports<\/a>, Samsung service centers in India are quoting Rs. 19,500 (~$206) for a screen replacement.<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t the first issue with One UI 8.5: the update reportedly broke dark mode<\/a> on some phones and caused video calling glitches<\/a>. However, those were software issues. A hardware problem like this is definitely more worrisome.<\/p>\n We have reached out to Samsung for a comment and will update this story when we hear back.<\/p>\n![\"google](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768233971_656_google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/ "\\"google"){kind=icon}
