Understanding screen line issues on Android phones
Screen lines on your Android device can appear due to several reasons—some temporary, others serious. Dead pixels, water damage, physical drops, outdated software, or faulty connectors can all lead to visible lines. These lines might stay in one place or flicker and move.
Before rushing to a service centre, it is smart to understand what’s causing the issue. Some lines result from internal pressure on the display, while others signal deeper issues like screen burn-in or GPU faults.
