Why is there a white line on my display?

[Android Central Question]

So i was casually downloading apps from previous device, browsing instagram and just being on the phone, then i notice this strong white line on the left side on my screen. It of course disappears when i shut the screen but it always comes back. Ive already rebooted many times and once reset to factory settings but its still there. Some say that i need to buy a new screen but hell no i dont want to do that, i just got the phone!

It sounds like a hardware fault.

If as you say, it's a recent purchase it should still be under warranty. Return your phone for a refund.

You were setting up a new phone and using the new one during the transfer from the old one?
