* Please take a look at the attached picture for easier understanding.
I've been using my Nexus 4 for a week until now, and someday I looked at the top bezel carefully, (with proper angle & light)
and I found out that there are 2 shining lines under the glass. (As you know the bezel is supposed to be just black without any decorations or marks.)
The right one is right below the front speaker, and the middle one is right below the perimeter dividing the area in half.
They are very short(like a millimeter), and shiny like some kind of metal. They look like some cracks of the bezel.
But the front glass is just fine and there are no scratches on the surface now. And I never dropped or hit my phone.
I'm not sure the lines are from the beginning or created after unboxing.
Anyone sees the same thing or knows about it?

OK, so i just noticed something really weird on the screen of my Nexus S. Towards the bottom of the screen, right under those 4 touch buttons where the glass meets the housing, i see these grey stains. The stains are on the inside and i feel like it's the glue that was used to install/paste the glass. I think those grey stains on the inside are all around the glass but i can only see them on the top and bottom.
Anyone noticed something similar?
Any suggestions?

The glass is thicker at the top and bottom. I think that is what you're seeing. I just looked at mine in the light, and to me, it just looks like the edge of the glass. Just the nature of the curved glass imo.
I had a bit of glue around the edges of my screen. I just stuck some Scotch tape around the edges to pull it off.
i took my phone back to best buy. the guy there told me that this is a pretty common problem not only with nexus s but evo 4g also. he let me check about 6 devices (not exagerating) before making an exchange and i was quite surprised to see all those screens with some sort of defect around the top and the bottom. i picked the one that looked the best and went home satisfied.
I just got my note 4 from t-mobile shipped yesterday oct 13. The pictures shows it all. Not only do i have a gap that is only at the top and right side of the phone (which i can live with), the top right hand corner shows that the inner bezel scratched possible from applying that screen. I can live with the gap but not those scratches as the white phone bezel make it more noticeable. Sucks to get the runt of the new note 4s...
i wouldn't call that a "huge" gap, you can probably just slip a piece of paper in, but not anything thicker, same info posted by androidauthority and unbox therapy. how did you scratch it with a SP anyway? glass SP?
It just seems like the paint that used on the metal came off in those spots. As for the gap, it's no bigger than any other note 4, but I do agree that dust and other particles will get stuck in there over time.
same small gap on my phone but then it disappeared after i put on a case. Even without the case it doesn't really bother me that much because i didn't even notice it
You can scratch it if your removing bubbles
I don't think you have a gap issue at all. I'd be a ticked about the scratches though.
Those aren't scratches. Those are the antennas

trust me those are scratches from the paint peeling off the metal. Probably for poor installation.
This phone also had very loose volume rocker buttons.
Also the gap is way bigger than any of the 4 phones that shipped. ( had a total of 6 so...)
Ended up returning this one and one with a dead pixel/dust ball under the screen.
Got my two replacements from t-mobile. all is good.
Oh my bad. I was looking at the last picture you uploaded where it shows the cut out at the top left of the phone
Hi guys,
I'v been my new s8 for a few days, and i noticed that the edge of rear glass, specially on bottom side, has paint off, so i can clearly see 1 mm of dust. Other sides are ok
Have you noticed this on your unit?
Thanks
Do you have an image with this issue? I have never heard of this issue for newer models.

I can't take at the moment, but i'll try to describe better.
On the bottom side of the back panel, where the glass meets metal, there is 1mm or less of paint off. Initially i thought it was the classic gap, but trying to pass a piece of paper in, i was able to clearly view the paper throught the glass. It's just 1mm or less around the bottom side.
That happened to me on s7 edge (front top edge). The glass was aligned with the frame, but the paint didn't go all the way to the edge so I could see the glue under the glass. That's aesthetically ugly but that's all... I hate samsung's quality standards -.-
So i am the only One with this problem?
Has anyone else noticed slight ripples on the underside of their s8 glass screen uniformly along the top near the cameras and sensors.
I say ripples, but this may not be the correct terminology. Kind of like some roller lines from tempering process or screen curving??
These can only be seen under angled lighting conditions and don't show up on a photo.
Just received the s8 as a replacement for a one with really wobbly buttons and only 3 weeks old.
Don't want to send back if normal (as phone is good otherwise).
Some shop display one's seemed to have it to some degree but hard to see the top bezel properly due to lights being too bright.
It's a crease in the front glass panel. My black S8 has a pair of matching (mirror image) creases on the right-side top and bottom corners. They are curved creases in the glass that point to the corners. You can only see it under the right light and angle. It looks like a defect in the curving process. But I am happy with the phone and this doesn't bother me.
I sometimes wonder if this affected a large production batch and those are the units that Samsung sold at $425 (after promotion and rebate, and how I got mine). I cannot imagine that Samsung is unaware of it.
It doesn't look like a crease to me, it looks like either roller lines or moulding marks on the underside of the glass. Only visible under certain lighting.
Anyone else seen this?

Hello, I got a Samsung Galaxy note 3 recently as a hand me down thing from my sis but the Crack on the phone is really irritating me when using the S pen as I just keep feeling the crack, here's a desc of the damage:
Crack on Bottom Left, screen protector exposed but looks a bit too thick in my opinion but could be it
Metal like sides on the bottom left gone leaving the inner covering seen not the components
Damage on other parts of the metal sides, dark Grey like but mostly OK
Deep damage on the what I think is the screen protector but possibly the screen as the bottom left metal sides are gone
Cracks are noticible to the eye and there's one with the shape of a thumb? (Watch out Saitama this is "one thumb guy")
I went into the box of the note seeing what's in it and I found a ton of random screen protectors but they don't look powerful
Should I:
A. Remove the current protector and replace it?
B. Put the screen protector on the screen protector (idek why I made this an option XD)
C. Let it be
Other info: Codename hlte, model SM-N9005.
I meant the bottom Right
