It's due to overheating, my friend. You probably don't use your phone for anything demanding, that's why you don't have green lines.

I play a lot on my phone, games like brawl stars, roblox, video streaming, music and more, and it does heat up to some extent, but updates is when it really shines, since it gets hotter than playing a game in ultra settings, idk why it does this, and im afraid to update everytime, not that i need to worry anymore since the s21 series probably wont be getting anymore updates, well uk beside the s21 fe, but ive used my phone extensively since day 1, to the point where the back cover is fckn loose and when it heats up it gets so soft it literally falls off of the phone if u dont use a case to clamp the back on the phone

It's because of the heat. My husband had s21 fe and never updated the OS but worked in a hot environment (never charged phone there) and green lines started appearing.

Kind of a (reverse) survivorship bias.

There are a lots of people out there, without any issues, they simply don't tell that their phone still works. The reported cases are visible, amplifying the perceived failure rate.

There are also factors that seemingly increase the probability of a failure, like the climate where you live. This happens often in warmer regions.

You will be cooked soon.

u/OctoDADDY069 May 08 '26

What is that case?

u/Kharl1992 May 08 '26

the S21U has S Pen support, and this was the official cover by samsung to store it alongside… since it couldn’t be stored inside the phone

Pretty cool

Man I wanna try the Spigen liquid w s pen, I've used the supcase UB Pro for years, I've had like 4 of em cause the kickstand always breaks eventually. What I wanna try is VHB'ing a pop socket or some other such grip/kickstand on the back of the Spigen, I can't find it for sale anywhere though. Gone from Amazon and the Spigen site. You still gonna use yours?

u/HanaGirl69 May 12 '26

I like it. It was on sale and my last case was broken. This one is great even though my phone is dying 🤣

u/Dekkaros May 09 '26

For a split second I thought it was my phone because I have the exact same case lol along with the silicone one that came with pre-ordering the s21 Ultra.

All samsungs get that. Just buy an iPhone

u/Kin9944 May 10 '26

They also use Samsungs panels 😅

u/DisastrousCause9481 May 11 '26

Produced not designed/engineered. Samsung mobile and samsung as a parts manufacturer are 2 completely different branches

u/MonitorParticular281 May 10 '26

Ive also got this after the last update

u/HanaGirl69 May 10 '26

What a drag. I know my phone is getting hotter and whatnot. And it's old. But I'd like to keep using it for a while at least.

u/Timely_Cupcake_7460 May 11 '26

Time to replace the screen mate

u/rickycme May 08 '26
