    Bought a new Samsung phone from a phone store in blanch a month ago. I got an unlock shop to sort it out with the official unlock code... Is my warranty void now? An issue developed with the phone over the past few days and I need to send it to a Samsung authorised centre for repair as my screen has touch issues.

    Thanks

    If they unlocked it by using an unlock code then there's probably nothing to worry about it. If they unlocked it by actually interfering with software on the phone, it could rise an issue where their mod could affect the phones performance.
