Hello everyone!
About a week ago I noticed a very unpleasant issue on my Galaxy S7 Edge. There is a major light leakage at the place where curved part of the display meets with the body. It is clearly seen when you're in the dark environment. It is extremely annoying, and looks like you've ripped off the display and placed it back gently. It doesn't affect waterpoofness though. I went through various shops and checked other phones. This issue was present on them also. Shop consultants were very surprised when I showed them this. Do you guys have the same problem? If you haven't heard about this yet, please check, and reply. Pictures show the issue I'm experiencing.
Mine and my wife phone's have same issue.
It's not leakage it's total internal reflection from the cover glass.
This is due to the curved surface acting like a fiber optic cable. There's no real way to stop this from happening. Notice how the edge is brighter where you have bright rows of icons or search bars. They all come out horizontally out from the side like this.
Just checked, and yup, it's the same thing here. Funny how I haven't noticed it until I read it here. I hate you. Nah, it's no big deal, but I'm not sure what to call it. There's really no gap there, and the distance between the edge of the screen and that "gap" is so so tiny that I can't see how the could've made it completely perfect? I guess the only way of not having this issue is to have a unibody construction?
I only notice it when the brightness is cranked up to max in a dark-ish room btw.
Edit: Yup, so I can't see it in a dark room with auto brightness enabled. I can however see it if I crank the brightness to max, but what mad man would use a screen at max brightness at night??

Sorry man, I just wanted to make sure I'm not alone with this issue. It looks like it's normal, so not much to worry about.
I have owned 3 s7 edges all with same thing only reason I noticed was when I was getting dust build up in the gap. I have since accepted it. I'm just not putting it in water. For those who think it's a fault try sliding a single sheet of paper between it and if u look closely enough you can see the connecters around the buttons. I have been reassured many times by other users and Samsung on this that it's normal even if I think it's not.

It's not only normal it's dictated by the laws of physics, you can't get rid of it, and it has nothing to do with the gap.

Hah, that was a joke. It doesn't bother me, but it's just so typical that someone mentions something, and then I notice that I do have that issue! It's like a buddy mentioning "Hey, am I the only one seeing our reflections in the TV?" Yooou son of a bi.... lol.

Yeah, seriously, the Edge is built with many many different parts, and there's not even a tiny chance that it won't have a "gap" or five. It's still water resistant though, and it's most likely just some glue in the "gap" that we're seeing. Photons are like... tiny, man, so yeah, 'nuff said.

I think Samsung blew it on the design of the galaxy tab 10.1
There is a serious screen and stability problem with the tablet.
Whenever I pull it out of my bag I have the Newton rings.
I know that a lot of people believe it is weather related or humidity related.
My experience is that this is because the glass is too close to the digitizer.
What makes it worse it the fact that the case flexes so much due to the weak plastic on the back. Even the weight of the battery can cause these rings to appear by holding it upside down.
I don't believe that a screen replacement can fix this unless they reinforce or separate the distance between the two surfaces.
Has anyone with a repaired unit tested it by holding it upside down to see if they still get the rings? Mine go away but some don't. It is always reproducible though.
My Tab has none of the issues you're describing. Why not replace it under warranty.
also no newton rings here!
and trust me, i know such discussions (display related flaws) far enough from my SGS2:
there is/was a problem with yellow tinting especially on the left side of the display, most people have it to some extent, some not. the ones with the flaw almost never believed the other guys that their displays were close to perfect...
No replacement under warranty.
You will receive refurb replacement. Cannot request new unit. Mine sent back diagnosed with bad mother board. No motherboard available in US, will not be for awhile. A long while was what i was told by repair facility. I do believe they are cannibalising units to refurbish.
Yet another complaint thread for a well-discussed problem. Mod, please delete.

I was a little nervous about some of the flaws I read before I purchased my tab. I seem to have none of the problems except the laggy text input on the browser. I inspected my tabfirst thing when i opened the box and discovered no visual problems on the screen.
The Newton rings can appear later on... there are people who got them after 5 weeks.
My belief is that they are frequent on the first batch... My screen is extremely rigid and darker than the ones shown in videos. You can hardly see the difference between the bezel area and the screen:

The picture was taken at an angle against my black monitor screen. In the lower right corner you see the color difference between the bezel and actual screen, taken against a white wall reflection. I press it fairly hard in several areas and did not have any issues.
I guess it was the trade to have an unlocked device.
I'd rather have a locked bootloader and a perfect screen...
apple stores would have swapped it before you can finish your sentence.
they replaced mine for minor lightbleed ...got a perfect one.

XDA is no longer worth my time.
Just got my new black Samsung galaxy s5 on att. I have noticed something that I hope will not become an issue that would cause me to have to exchange the phone. I noticed a small gap at the top of my screen where the screen meets the bezel. There is some dust that has gotten in there and I have only had the phone for a week. The rest of the phone (sides and bottom) are flush with no gaps. Is this normal or should I worry and let my OCD drive me to exchange it? Have any of you experienced this?
same issue
Funny i was wondering if I was over reacting. I saw this gap and thought the same thing. I had a Motorola Atrix that got dusty under the screen due to the same type off thing. I have not put recovery on my phone so that Knox does not trip. I'd like to hear more from people before i think about warranty. I will refuse a refurbished phone.

Well take it for what it is but at least you are not alone. There are two of us with this issue. As for whether it is normal or not, well I am not sure and that is why I posted here. I am with you on the warranty. I will not take a refurb phone. I will check a couple in the ATT store tomorrow and report back my findings. My 14 days is up thursday so I need to decide quick if this is a real issue. Thank you for replying!!
Nathan
Same issue on both mine and my collegues device.
Please post a picture so we can see.
I will try and post pictures tonight. If anyone else could post picture of theirs we could compare and see if maybe this is just the design of the phone. Again, thank you all for replying!

Pics please, and no its not normal. If dust can get into the phone then so can water and so its not water resistent anymore. I would exchange if it we`re me
Exchange it!!
I would definitely exchange it. That gap would compromise the IP67 that the GS5 has. And what I hear alot is Samsung CS sucks!! So you don't wanna have to deal with them should something happen.
Do you guys actually own a GS5? Could you check yours and see. It is not big, just enough to fit a piece of paper into. And is that confirmed that it would compromise the ip67 certification? I mean do you really know that for sure?
Not trying to be rude but just inquiring.
Yes I do own a GS5. And there is no gap. It's tight all around the bezel. And sorry, I meant to say it COULD, not would. Can't trust autocorrect these days Lol

No problem! Just checking. Alright well it looks like I am going to try and do an exchange. Now my only worry is what will happen if the replacement has the same issue?
Then get a really good cover for it! Lol. But hopefully that won't be the case. Fingers are crossed for you! There's nothing more annoying than getting a faulty looking unit right out of the box :/ @Primenay13
Went to the AT&T store. They had two there a black and a white one. They both look exactly like mine. So I will post the pictures of mine and tell me what you guys think.

Compare this to your device and let me know if it looks similar. In the meantime, I have requested a replacement from amazon since my 14 day return is almost up.
Also, the second picture shows the issue the best.
Has anyone taken a look and compared yet?
It's normal.
Your phone is extremely linty, so its hard to tell much. Also, you should circle what you're referring to. From the pictures I don't see anything unusual.

That is the point. For me, the only part that gather lint is in this gap between the screen and top bezel. I have another picture here that will show you the nature of the gap. I used a piece of paper for scale. The piece of paper can fit right in between this gap, even folded.
Picture 1 https://iu.box.com/s/mb4tas4limxxwyrrbecr
Here is a picture circling what I was talking about https://iu.box.com/s/1997kzvtsfaxavp08w8a
Notice how on the right side where I circled, the screen glass is flush with the bezel. There is dust on top of the screen but not inside this gap. However, on the top where I circled, there is a noticeable gap where there is dust INSIDE.
Also some additional information, The replacement phone I got has the same thing!!!! UHHHHH..

I have a hard time believing that you guys don't have it considering I have seen 3 phones, all brand new, and they all look like this. When you say you don't have it, are you saying that your phone DOES NOT look like mine in the pictures I posted, or just saying nope without looking.?
I think maybe the clear plastic on the camera was effecting my pictures. Well I hope so. LoL. It's not easy getting off especially the flash one. I did it carefully because I didn't want to scratch them. I guess if your pictures are fine then you can leave them on but damn Samsung you should put tabs on them so it's easy to take off. I would think all S6 Edges come like that. Mine is from T-Mobile. Darn you can't see it. I'll post a bigger picture.

See the white line in sky close to the bird way up in the sky? It goes from the top to the bottom. I noticed on 5 pictures and different angles.
Good call, i have always known about the stickers and remove them for customers usually (i sell phones for a living) but i didnt notice the flash one! gotta check it out now, thanks!
Thanks!!! I hadn't even noticed them.
Can you guys see in the sky what I'm talking about? If so do you think I might be right about the picture protector being the issue? Guess I should take more pictures now but stupid rain all week. Lol. Just want to find out if I have a issue with my camera.
A girl with nails might help getting the stickers off. LoL. I think I just lightly put my finger on the corner of the bottom of the flash and moved slightly up. I then noticed that it was on. I wonder if it's on my Note 4. LoL
The first thing I did is taking them off with the plastic cover of the phone
Thanks for the headsup + :good:
I"ll be damn, I missed those also, thanks.
I used a piece of strong packing tape to get them off. Just touched and pulled. Much easier than trying to get your fingernail in there and risking a scratch.
This makes no difference to the camera picture quality whatsoever. Tested this so many times on my
phones. Zero. So i leave it on for protection

You can still scratch the lens regardless if it's on or not. Having a $700+ phone I've very careful with it. Plus a case could help raise it a tad so the camera isn't flush.

why is that?is it better to just use the default brpwser?
Heh, I was so annoyed with this that I even took it off the demo unit at my local BestBuy when I was playing with it. First thing I did when I took mine out of the box.
Each to their own
Funny how so many of these youtube tech reviewers forget to remove it.
By the way I took them off but they don't have effect on the picture quality as the lens over only covers the edges not the lens itself as u can see so it doesn't matter u keep it or take it off

Hey,
So I noticed something interesting with my S7 edge camera. Take a look at these two pictures. The lines are all parallel but the camera warps them and makes them wavey. I tried THREE other brand new S7 edge and 1 S7 phones and they all had this issue.

The lines are most definitely wavy. Just pull a ruler across the screen and you will see how the lines are no actually straight. As for why? I'm not sure but it's probably due to the nature of the lens. It's not very noticeable in every day use though.
Could be a flaw , but also an illusion
Tell you a funny store from the goood old days
At rolls royce in england they had old craftsmenn doing the welding job on manufacturing the grill on the rolls
they were the only ones that could make them so they lokked straight elgeangt lines ,, but.. take a ruler and they are bend so ever slightly to avoid your eyes seeing them as out of line ( your lens in the eye is curved too )
Guys,
I've taken multiple photos. These are only a few. I have tested with 5 devices total. Put a straight edge up to the image and you will see that they are distorted. The distortion is static - always distorts the same way in the same place for each image.
Can anyone else test and post pictures?
Thanks!
You can clearly see there's some barreling distortion near the top of the pic but there's another type of distortion in the middle, the level is flat, dont worry about the bubble.
Plastic f1.7 lens! Even my expensive L glass has some barreling, especially wide open, but I can correct for that in my DSLR body. I think that as smartphone lenses get faster, this will become more apparent.

It's barrel distortion, you can fix this during post processing, should not matter unless you use your phone on architecture stuff.

There is a shape-correction or distortion connection setting that may fix this. AFAIK it was affecting only selfies on s6, but this one also does sth to rear cam.
I have the same issue on my S7.
Look at the white strips. Should be straight.
Sh**ty camera.

I know it. It doesn't work.
the exact same problem with my s6 rear camera
Guys same exact problem for me, I can confirm you it not only affects s7 but also s6 since mine is an s6 non edge. Just waves all over the horizontal axis of the image, almost embarrassing, and this should be supposed to be among the best smartphone cameras? really?? and no reviewer noticed that??? Incredible, a real shame....
So after a few days of use, I started noticing that I was unable to see the "People Edge" tab on the right side and while reading pages that were not exactly black in color, it looked like the 'edge' part of the phone looked as if I was looking at a TN panel sideways... So I compared this to my wife's phone and sure enough, it's a problem. On max brightness, I definitely don't get the same colors or anything of that nature, and it's significantly "bluer". Here are a few images for your viewing pleasure. I contacted the local VZW store and they said they'd exchange it once it comes back in stock (within my 14 day period).
** Note ** I did mess with all display settings and the color issue is not correctable.

You'll see the greyish look to it on the edges.. it's driving me freaking crazy. I paid $800 for a ****ing phone so I'm being picky.
If any of you guys are having this issue and within your 14 day grace period, return it and get another.
You're wasting your time if you return it, because the new one will have the same thing. It's a limitation of the design. The only difference is that on some phones the edge "shadow" appears more green, more blue, or more pink.
My S6 Edge had it and so does my S7 Edge. You'll stop noticing it after a few weeks.
My wife's does not have this issue at all, so I don't think that's true... if the one they exchange it for has the same issue, I guess I'll eat the $35 restocking fee and never own an 'Edge' phone again :|

I have never seen an "Edge" phone without this to some degree, but chances are you'll end up with it on the exchange device. Just go look at the demos in the stores
After a few minutes of Googling I again found the official Samsung article explaining this. Took me weeks to find last year when this issue was driving me nuts..

Your device is not faulty. The colors on the curved screen may look different depending on your viewing position.
The slight green tint in colour at the edges of the Galaxy S6 Edge display that you may observe on occasion is due to a phenomenon called WAD (White Angular Dependency) which is due to the inclined curved surface of the S6 Edge screen.
For an AMOLED display, the WAD phenomenon results in the colour white sometimes appearing to have a Green tint, or on occasion a Blue or Yellow tint when viewing the AMOLED at an angle. But when viewing directly from the front or side the colour will be as expected.

Same applies to S7 Edge.
Interesting, thank you very much. Yeah, guess it'll just be a return.
I'm very peculiar with my eyes. I can't wear glasses with my astigmatism because of the odd shapes I see so I doubt it'll just go away.

Glad to help. I was going through exactly what you were last year. Hopefully someone will be searching for this issue and find this thread down the road.
I have astigmatism, too, if it helps. I wear toric contact lenses. Eventually I just somehow learned to ignore the edges. I had forgotten about it until you brought it up.
I found the S7 Edge page as well. Same response...

Well, in that case, I'm glad I was able to help you remember while I try to forget Yeah, only way I can see properly is with contacts as well. I might try to get over this until next Wednesday and if it doesn't happen, it'll be a return.

I would encourage you to do the exchange and see if the new one is slightly better (the tints are all a bit different). Maybe it'll be less noticeable? But then again, the new one might be worse to your eyes. It's a lottery
