Everything's Good Except the Screen

I've had this phone for 2 years and it's generally good, the battery can make it through the day without any issues. You can really notice its 90hz screen if you're upgrading from a 60hz one. It runs games decently without overheating too much, and its screen gives it a different touch compared to the others, even though it isn't very useful. And despite everything, what ruins this phone is the screen. It turns out that after 2 months of having bought it, the famous green spot started to appear, which made me take it to warranty, which the brand accepted and it was repaired in no more than a week. And from there everything was fine until after a year and a half where the green spot returned but this time the warranty didn't apply. The spot started out very small but now it covers half of the phone's sidebar, which is already annoying and I don't doubt that it will soon be unusable.

Pros

  • Good battery
  • Excellent Performance
  • Audio Quality

Cons

  • Screen with construction defects
  • The curved screen doesn't have much productive use

I exchanged the cell phone under warranty almost two times. The first: A few days after buying it the screen turned green. Not bright green, but dark colors look green and pixelated. Motorola accepted the swap immediately and upon research, I found a manufacturing defect left users worldwide with the same problem: greenish dark tones (more visible at night or in dark places) and a constant grid of thin green lines in the background, a "glitch" in the screen when using the camera that flickers from magenta to green uncontrollably, and glitches when displaying images or quickly switching between apps. This time I didn't even reach the 12 months warranty, the phone was never dropped, it doesn't have a scratch (physically it's fantastic for having a curved screen) but it happened again, everything is green. For what it costs, it's unacceptable.
