Samsung Galaxy S23 users have reported a growing display issue after installing the latest One UI 8.5 update, with many claiming that permanent green and pink lines suddenly appeared on their phone screens.
Users report display problems after update
According to complaints shared on Reddit, Samsung Community forums, and X (formerly Twitter), the issue surfaced during or shortly after the installation of One UI 8.5. Affected users say the colored lines appeared unexpectedly and have remained visible on the display. Many users believe the problem may be linked to a hardware design or manufacturing defect, and are urging Samsung to provide assistance.
Heat may be a contributing factor
The display-line issue has previously been associated with excessive heat generated during software updates. Reports suggest the problem is more common in hot and humid regions, where devices may become warmer during the update process.
Some users recommend keeping the phone in a cool environment while installing updates to reduce the chances of the issue occurring, although this has not been officially confirmed by Samsung.
No official solution yet
Samsung has not yet announced an official fix for Galaxy S23 owners affected by the green and pink display lines following the One UI 8.5 update.
Users are hoping the company will address the matter by offering free display replacements or replacement devices for affected customers.
