So my Note20 Ultra got the dreaded green line (apparently a common issue in the Note20 Ultra line due to a manufacturing error). Once you get the line, you’ll get more and more lines (I already have a faint black line in the other side of the screen).
I don’t want to replace the screen because the phone is already 4 years old. So I want to get a new phone, I’m currently considering the Infinix GT20 Pro. Should I get that phone or should I get a different one instead?

Do you know how much replacing the screen would cost? I feel like last time I needed to replace a phone I was using for a couple years it was unfortunately cheaper just to get a new one. Felt pretty wasteful
Just a reminder, if you’re in the EU then waiting 'til June might be worthwhile:
Gonna be interesting to see which models disappear from EU altogether and which models get the better repairability and software updates next summer:
Ecodesign requirements will apply to mobile phones and tablets put on the EU market from 20 June 2025 onwards, including:- resistance to accidental drops or scratches and protection from dust and water
- sufficiently durable batteries which can withstand at least 800 charge and discharge cycles while retaining at least 80% of their initial capacity
- rules on disassembly and repair, including obligations for producers to make critical spare parts available within 5-10 working days, and for 7 years after the end of sales of the product model on the EU market
- availability of operating system upgrades for longer periods (at least 5 years from the date of the end of placement on the market of the last unit of a product model)
- non-discriminatory access for professional repairers to any software or firmware needed for the replacement
