Anyone else have an issue with a Tab S7+ screen stopping working and  then Samsung wanting to charge £280 for a new screen?

S7+, less than 6 months old. Been in a case since day 1. Opened the case one day and the screen was mainly black, with a few green lines across it. Didn't see any cracks. Sent it to Samsung for repair, and then got a quote for £279 to repair the screen. Argued with Samsung that the screen was not damaged, had always been in a case, and had never once been dropped. Said they would open up a case for it being "damaged in transit" and that i would hear back from someone in a couple of weeks. Still waiting. The tablet is in absolutely mint condition and has clearly been treated well.

There is clearly a design fault with this tablet. Even if i had dropped it, and cracked the screen, the screen should still have worked like any other phone would still work. I have samsung phones, earbuds, but will never buy Samsung again if this is not resolved to my satisfaction. At least if i drop an ipad and the screen cracks I'll still be able to use it.

 

Loads o posts on Reddit saying exactly the same. Tablet in case from day 1 and cracking when in mint condition and never dropped

I would've thought it would be under warranty at 6 months old, especially if it wasn't your fault. If you still have the receipt it might be worth mentioning.

It is under warranty, but the repairers that Samsung use are saying that I have cracked the glass, even though I know I haven't.
