- OnePlus is offering a free screen upgrade to users of the OnePlus 8 Pro, OnePlus 8T, OnePlus 9, and OnePlus 9R to prevent the infamous green line issue.

Smartphones with AMOLED screens have frequently encountered green line issues, and this isn’t limited to a single manufacturer. This hardware issue often crops up after a phone software update, confusing users into believing that the correlation is the cause. Many companies have shrugged off this hardware issue and left customers to fend for themselves — either pay up for an out-of-warranty repair or live with the green line. OnePlus is the only company that has offered a lifetime display warranty on record, and now, the company is bettering its promise with a pre-emptive display replacement on certain models to prevent the issue.
X user Starcommander spotted a new benefit in OnePlus’s Red Cable Club loyalty program. As per the Lifetime Free Screen Upgrade offer, OnePlus is offering OnePlus 8 Pro, OnePlus 8T, OnePlus 9, and OnePlus 9R users a free “screen upgrade,” subject to the phone being free of any damage and unauthorized repair. Note that the Red Cable Club benefits are currently limited to India only, so this upgrade remains limited to India.
