As shown in the picture, who could hold back after seeing this
I used to see many people online saying that after three years, the Xiaomi 13's screen would automatically develop green lines.
At the time I didn't believe it, thinking I might be the exception.
But now it seems it's truly hard to hold back—not a single exception.
I went to check on Little Green Book and found that not a single Xiaomi 13 owner had escaped the green lines.
The reason is also clear: at the time, the entire Xiaomi 13 series used Samsung E6 screens, and Samsung screens are notoriously poor in quality.
The green line issue with the Xiaomi 13 series screens has been around for a long time, but Xiaomi official has turned a blind eye and even requires users to pay for screen replacements themselves.
If I had broken it myself, I'd accept that—we're all adults.
But knowing full well that this is a design flaw and still making users bear the responsibility—that's really too much.
Tonight I chatted about this with my friend @iEastblues. He first suggested I could file a complaint, but I directly rejected that idea—after all, the cost of defending rights for ordinary users is simply too high, and staring at this laser screen all the time isn't good for my eyes either. Even if they do eventually give me a free replacement, who knows when that day will come.
I can only accept my bad luck. Tomorrow I'll go to the offline after-sales service to see whether Xiaomi after-sales tells me I can get the screen replaced, or whether I can do a trade-in and swap for a new phone.
But thinking carefully, I've been using Xiaomi products all these years, and now to say that Xiaomi's product quality is no good and after-sales is no good either—I really don't know what other brand of phone to switch to.
