How many of you have dying touchscreen issues?

My mi 9t has recently developed touchscreen issues. It's not the "ghost touch" that people talk about, but actual phantom touches confirmed by turning on touch viability under developer settings. Right under the pull down menu is getting constantly touched in a line. This problem is even worse when the phone gets twisted even with little force. My phone has never been dropped, doesn't have a scratch on it anywhere, no water has touched it ect. I'm considering buying a new one (no warranty), but want to know how common this is before I consider a different device.

Please let me know if you've experienced this hardware issue as I've confirmed that it's not software, and no common "fix" can fix hardware.

I have the same exact problem as you described. Also thinking about new phone, it's sad because I really like this phone but this problem is getting only worse for me ?

How long have you had your phone by the way? I owned mine for about 5 months before the issue seemed to get really bad, but it showed up after about 3 months.

I have it for 5 months as well now and this problem started to appear about 1 month ago

just replace, its hardware problem, so use warranty

I'm a US based buyer and don't have warranty. I have looked at the cost of replacement and it's over half of the cost of the phone for the parts alone, so not worth it.
