Reports emerged about random white vertical lines appearing on Samsung Galaxy A71 displays. The information comes from GizmoChina, which noted the issue in its coverage.
At least one user reported the flaw publicly. The Galaxy A71 screen defect was shared on Twitter, accompanied by photos intended to prove the problem.
One tweet from a user named Dipayan Ray described a white line appearing on his friend’s Galaxy A71 while the device was idle. The post highlighted that the issue appeared without any user action to trigger it, simply waking up the phone to find the line.
The shared images show the Galaxy A71 screen with two different pre-installed screen protectors. In each photo, a white stripe clearly runs down the middle of the display, effectively splitting the screen into two halves.
There is currently no official statement detailing the cause of the defect or indicating whether other users are affected. Samsung has reportedly reached out to the original poster to seek more information and clarify the situation.
According to GizmoChina, this is not the first time a Samsung model has exhibited a similar screen issue. Earlier, reports noted colored stripes appearing across a range of higher-end devices, including the Galaxy S20 Plus, Note 20 Ultra, and S21 Ultra, though the exact nature and frequency of the defect varied by model.
Historically, fresh iterations from other manufacturers have also faced screen-related quirks that prompted discussions about build quality and display reliability. In the broader market, concerns about display defects often influence user confidence and can shape cautious adoption of new devices as customers weigh durability alongside features.
Meanwhile, a separate note from the tech press mentions Purism, a U.S. company, introducing a distinctly different smartphone offering. This model is positioned as an all-American option with a price point higher than both the iPhone and several flagship Samsung devices, illustrating the diverse landscape of premium mobile choices in the United States and Canada.
