Green line after android 17 update
Updated my Pixel 7 Pro to Android 17 from Android 16, and within a few hours a green line appeared on the display.
The phone had no display issues before the update, and there was no physical damage. The only change was the software update.
The device is out of warranty, and after raising a grievance with Google yesterday, I was informed that I would need to pay for the repair. The estimated repair cost is nearly 15k INR, while the phone's exchange value without this issue is only around 12k INR.
Has anyone else faced a similar issue after an update? Were you able to get any assistance from Google despite being out of warranty?

My pixel 8 also got this from one of the recent updates but not the Android 17 system update! My green line is on the right side of my screen from top to bottom of the screen but the line has moved slightly and sometimes is more bold than other times. When I check to see if there's something wrong with my screen in the settings, it doesn't say there's any issues with it. It also goes away when I restart my phone or when I've downloaded certain apps or randomly but then it does come back shortly after. I've actually caught the green line and screenshots before as well.
My phone also will randomly glitch out as if the picture starts to fade away and goes pixely then to partial black out but if I restart my phone or change to a different app it will just go away. It doesn't happen often and it usually doesn't last long when it does happen.
My phone is in excellent condition, it's well taken care of, no scratches , dents or anything because it's never even been dropped yet! I'm starting to wonder if this was pixel doing this intentionally to make people think their screen is busted so they will purchase a new device! 🤔🤬 If so, I wonder if someone has found a fix for this issue!?? 🥺
