Off topic....

Samsung worldwide is offering free screen protector replacement for fold and flip series...called up service center in mumbai, they said they are not aware of any such scheme here ...
Dont bother. I made the mistake of asking for that in Pune. After escalating it to Samsung, they redirected me to a diff SC.
The service guys there likely installed it with a hard applicator the way they are used to on glass panel phones and ruined my otherwise perfectly functional display.
When I got the phone 45 mins later, it had multiple dead pixels and lines!!

I made a fuss and was able to get a full replacement - but it was a terrible PITA as you can imagine.
The screen protector on new phone has started to come out now (usually lasts about just under a year)
This time I will just oreder one off amazon and apply it myself
 
I called the service center they said they'd replace my screen. Never ever buying a OnePlus again
You should instead thank oneplus for acknowledging the defect and offer prompt replacements. Look at other brands which are nothing short of tantrums and drama where they will shoo you way blaming you on the name of physical damage etc. and no warranty honoring whatsoever.
I would suggest anyone in android to opt for oneplus at least for green line peace of mind!
 
That it happens after an update is confusing. What is causing it?
Hard to tell. My guess, it's caused by the overheating due to the update process.
I installed the update, used it for 2-3 minutes, no green line yet, I opened a bunch of apps and a game (CoC) to test thermal throttling and I could see a very faint green line starting to appear.
I immediately locked my phone and put some water droplets on the display to cool it. Unlocked the phone and the line was gone.
Used it for some more time, the faint line started coming again, did the same cooling technique and it went away. The third time curiosity got the best of me and after playing CoC for a while I could see the faint line slowly getting darker and suddenly there was a bright green vertical line.
Restarted and could it see on the bootloader too.

You should instead thank oneplus for acknowledging the defect and offer prompt replacements.
If they had a better quality control this wouldn't have happened to majority of oneplus phones. Same display panel is used by several brands and yet OnePlus is affected far more than all other brands combined. And for that reason I'm out
 
4th purple line happened in my s20 ultra.
While other criterias for complimentary repair were met, Samsung refused to repair citing >3 yrs purchase. Apparently company reserves the right to make policy on the go.
