The green line issue started when some users updated their smartphones to OxygenOS 13.1. Even restarting or going back to the older version didn't help. People talked about this problem on places like Reddit, Twitter, and more.

When we reached out to OnePlus to confirm and comment on the development, a spokesperson said the following, “We realise that this issue has caused a great deal of inconvenience to the affected users, and we apologise for it. In line with our unwavering commitment, we encourage users to visit the nearest OnePlus service centre for device diagnosis, and we will provide free screen replacement for all devices affected by the situation."

OnePlus further stated that, "On select OnePlus 8 and 9 Series devices, we are also offering a voucher that will provide the user with a fair percentage of the device value to upgrade to a new OnePlus device. In light of the current situation, we are also offering lifetime screen warranty on all affected devices. Thank you for your understanding and support."
