S22 ultra - oleophobic coating

[Bogo1]

After 2 months, very careful use, strange line on the screen. I think the problem is in the oleophobic coating? When I wipe the screen with a microfiber cloth, the line is not visible. After a few minutes of use, however, it is visible again.

It's possible @Bogo1  🤔

Do you keep a case on the phone at all ?

[Bogo1]

My previous phone was a Galaxy S7 (6 years) and it doesn't have a single scratch. So you know I'm very careful with my phone.

I can tell you now that's a badly applied coating with some watermark. This same thing happened to me on an older Galaxy S3 brand new. Shop changed it in store. Everytime I wiped it away it would come back

[Bogo1]

Shop changed Phone or screen?

Update:

Today I took the phone to an official repairer, who immediately replaced the entire screen (warranty), no questions asked.

Next question: Which screen protector to install on the new screen?

@Bogo1 

My go to is the Whitestone Dome Glass Screen Protector as its good for curved displays and plays well with the fingerprint.

Me again. After 2 months, a vertical line started appearing again on the replaced screen. The phone will go back to service. Maybe the first series of phones was defective and the service had a screen from the first series in stock?

THIS IS SO USEFUL! same thing happened to me with my galaxy S23 ultra... just after 3 weeks of use, just at the bottom

Those marks go away with a polishing cloth but always come back... ANNOYING! they received the phone for inspection and will return with a resolution in 5 days
