Green Line and Other Issues on OnePlus Smartphones

In a conversation with FoneArea, OnePlus acknowledged the issues surrounding several of its devices, particularly the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 8 series. The green line issue is not specific to the company’s devices but is posing an industry-wide challenge, as per the company. OnePlus revealed that it has worked with its suppliers and implemented corrective measures through the supply chain.

The company has reaffirmed its commitment to consumer satisfaction and reiterated that customers who face green line issues on their devices should visit their nearest OnePlus service centres as soon as possible for device diagnostics provided free of cost.
