💯 From my first Samsung phone in January 2014-present I have yet to experience the green line in the display, but the common denominator in that issue is that they're manufactured in India.

Now my Note 8 got screen burn-in twice within 6 months, both the first one I got & the warranty replacement. The display on the latter device turned orange after I took it to Volcano Bay. Had to pop my SIM in my backup S7E until the Note dried, then the display was back to normal. SMH.

I'm going to chalk it up as an isolated incident. I think Samsung is far more careful now after the Note 7 fiasco.

I miss the Note series. Just popping out the S-Pen and writing a note was a game changer.

"I'm going to chalk it up as an isolated incident."


On those Note 8's I had?


"I think Samsung is far more careful now after the Note 7 fiasco."


I agree, but we both know that carefulness eventually turned into complacency.


"I miss the Note series. Just popping out the S-Pen and writing a note was a game changer."


I miss them actually being The Note, but when I went from the Note 10+ to the S22 Ultra it felt like I just upgraded to the latest Note even though the name was different. But what I miss is when Samsung released the S in February & refined everything on the Note in August. Once they started with all the Edges & sh¡t like that sh¡t started slowly going downhill.

That software is great when it’s not actively sabotaging the hardware.

Agreed. And more often than not, it's actively trying to sabotage the hardware... And itself.
