OnePlus 8T Green Line Twice → Upgraded to OnePlus 11 → Green Lines Again. Is It Worth Replacing the Display?
OnePlus 8T Green Line Twice → Upgraded to OnePlus 11 → Green Lines Again. Is It Worth Replacing the Display?
I need some honest advice from the community.
I faced the green line issue twice on my OnePlus 8T. Both times, OnePlus replaced the display free of charge, even out of warranty, but each replacement took nearly a month. During that time, I was without my phone, WhatsApp, Google Pay, and other important services, which affected my daily life.
After reading that newer models supposedly didn't suffer from this issue, I upgraded to the OnePlus 11. Unfortunately, my OnePlus 11 has now developed green lines as well while still under warranty. I first got one green line, and before the display replacement could be carried out, a second green line appeared.
To be clear, my complaint is not against the service centres. The authorised service centre and OPPO service centre I dealt with were polite, helpful, and professional. My concern is with the recurring defect itself.
OnePlus has agreed to replace the display free of charge. However, my biggest concern is whether the replacement display will eventually develop the same issue again. Having experienced this problem multiple times across two different OnePlus devices, I no longer have much confidence that another display replacement will be a permanent solution.
Apart from the green lines causing eye strain, I've also experienced heating issues and occasional app closures. Every display replacement means backing up data, restoring apps, reconfiguring settings, and hoping the same problem doesn't return. Meanwhile, the value of the device continues to depreciate.
What disappoints me most is that after facing the same issue twice on my 8T, I specifically bought the OnePlus 11 expecting a more reliable experience.
So I'd like to hear from people who have actually had their displays replaced:
• Did the green line issue ever return after replacement?
• How long has the replacement display lasted?
• Have any OnePlus 11 or OnePlus 12 owners experienced the issue again after display replacement?
• If you were in my position, would you accept another display replacement or push for a refund/upgrade option instead?
At this point, I'd honestly prefer either a refund with reasonable depreciation or an upgrade path to a newer flagship device rather than another display replacement that may eventually develop the same issue.
I'm genuinely looking for real-world experiences before making a decision. Thanks in advance for any advice.
