This user is a hero, everybody.
The relevant part which was skipped unless you check the article
Plus some upgrade discounts, but both policies will only apply to customers in India.
I am in India!
However I don't buy oneplus :|
OnePlus is a joke. I've have had multiple issues with their software (thankfully not hardware yet). From Google Pay breaking to unfinished English translations and even removing (or messing with) features on updates. And other people online have had worse. I'll probably just spend the money on some other company next time.
Reading the article that OP's article linked to, two points:
-
It seems that other manufacturers are also running into this problem on phones with AMOLED displays too.
-
It sounds like some vendors may be telling their service centers to replace the issue if a user shows up with it, but not announcing the fact publicly:
https://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-fix-green-line-issue-on-phone-screen-3342058/
Some OEMs like Samsung, Apple, and OnePlus have advised their service centers and support channels to assist users affected by green line issues and repair devices for free, even outside the warranty period.
However, such advisories have not been issued by way of announcements in the public domain. Instead, they are offered as solutions at the customer support and service center level on a case-by-case basis.
Yeah, thankfully all my issues have been all software so far for me.
OnePlus somehow never completely avoided issues. I remember on the 5 there was a display issue too.
Jelly screen lol
China isn't particularly well known for its quality products, especially over longer periods of time.
After dealing w/ many Chinese suppliers in various industries I believe the blame falls on the OEM. If you ask for cheap garbage then you'll get that. If you ask for tightly specified designs that are properly designed for the process at a reasonable price then you'll get that.
Where do you think iPhones, Samsung phones and so on are produced? Lol.
I thought Samsungs were made in Korea?
Nah, the main factory (for example for the Galaxy S23) is in India. But does that really matter when dozens of parts are from China or Taiwan?
googles, curious
It sounds like that is not true for Samsung, at least.

Where are Samsung phones designed and made? The answer might surprise you
If you asked someone to guess where Samsung phones are made, most people would probably say China. After all, the country is the global manufacturing hub, producing the bulk of smartphone OEMs and iPhones for Apple.
It may surprise you that not a single Samsung phone is made in China. The company closed its last factory in the Peopleβs Republic in 2019 due to a shrinking market share. Nowadays, most Samsung phones are made in Vietnam. But they do have a few other vital factories around the globe. Letβs take a look at them all.
EDIT: That being said, it sounds like there are also affected Samsung phones, so...
Even that isn't the whole truth, Samsung assembles their phones in India at the moment (At least for the Galaxy S series). But the electronics themselves probably come from China or Taiwan anyway, so does that really make a difference?
The guy I replied to acted like other phone manufacturers do it in the good ol' US of A.
Which reminds me, I have a 3T with a broken screen that might benefit from the program
Only in India, which the title omitted to get clicks.
OP should have added that to title. Or is that not allowed?
I guess they used the auto suggest title feature where even the original article does not mention it. It's mentioned in the subheading.
I think it's mostly Indian phones that have this problem due to the cheaper materials? Or maybe I'm completely making this up- I just remember reading about it on the OnePlus subreddit
Overall most OnePlus phones use BOE panel which suffer this issue when you compare it to Samsung or LG. Even Apple has touted BOE as a supplier multiple time in the last 5 years, but they failed to meet Apple's quality standard.
OnePlus died after the 6 for me.. they became the very thing they told everyone they were going to "kill".
I wish they would have kept OxygenOS 11 instead of replacing it with this buggy colourOS
What's been buggy for you? The buggiest on my old OP 7T Pro was 10, then 11 was much smoother then 12 was a bit buggier again. Now I'm on OOS 13 on my OP11 and it's been bug free (only have it for a week though and I installed all the updates)
