Samsung customer got free screen replacement over his Note 20’s Octa Line issue
Samsung’s May 2023 software update reportedly brought green/pink line issues on some Galaxy devices. A few days back, a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra user reported that his unit got affected by lines on the screen. The customer now revealed that Samsung offered him free screen replacement over the Octa Line issue.
According to Twitter user Ramen, Samsung India replaced the screen and battery of his Galaxy Note 20 Ultra smartphone. Do note that it’s the same unit, which got impacted by green/pink lines post-May 2023 firmware installation a few days back.

Notably, the phone was purchased in August 2021 and naturally went out of warranty last August. Still, the company offered him a free-of-cost screen plus a battery replacement as the issue didn’t appear from external damage, water insertion, or accidental drop by the user.
It’s worth mentioning that a number of Galaxy smartphone users reported the same problem in certain markets including India. Last year, the company announced that it is replacing the Galaxy S20 Plus screen affected by green or pink lines, even when out of warranty.
If you also have a Galaxy device, on which the Octa Line issue appeared, do visit a nearby authorized Samsung service center and share your concern. If they found your device qualified for free out-of-warranty service, you will be offered for sure.
Samsung Galaxy Ring may be pricier than the current Ring wearables in the market. The company is expected to release its first Ring wearable gadget on July 10 in Paris. Dealabs got some info regarding the price of Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Ring in France.
According to the info, the Galaxy Ring could start at €449 in France. The product will likely be available to customers as of July 19 in 13 sizes and 3 colors. The Galaxy Ring could be priced around $500 in the United States based on leaked France pricing.
Oura Ring starts at $299 while RingConn rings are available as low as $279. Samsung’s pricing strategy for Galaxy Ring is not aggressive at all. It seems a method to put the Ring form factor in an ultra-premium wearable segment apart from the R&D investment focus.
To address the sizing concern, Samsung is said to offer a Ring sizing kit. Consumers who are interested in the Galaxy Ring would be able to get a sizing kit delivered. It will help them figure out the Ring size to be ordered to prevent post-delivery sizing issues.
At the Unpacked event, Samsung will launch the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6 foldable phones. New smartwatches including the Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra are also coming. After two years, the new premium earbuds – Galaxy Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro also launching.
You can pre-reserve the new Galaxy and get a $50 Samsung Credit and many exciting savings. When you pre-order any of the upcoming products, multiple benefits will be offered. You will not only get Instant Samsung Credit but also savings of up to $1500.

The Galaxy M35 sports a 120Hz Super AMOLED display with 1000nits brightness. It will pack a 6000mAh battery for long-lasting entertainment. The battery can be charged with a 25W fast charging adapter, however, you need to purchase it separately.
