Do you see it too? When the display is on of course.
I'm worried it's a gap and will compromise the water resistance of the phone.
Glad to hear if you can see it too.

Yes, I've had a few devices and they all had it. Light bleed is also visible where the aluminum bezel meets the front glass....and the above the notification LED...aaaaaand below the earpiece. All completely normal, happened in every device I've tested. I have major OCD with this kind of stuff, but it really doesn't bother me anymore.
ETA - Here's an picture I took a while back with my old s6 edge, you can clearly see the side light bleed and above the home. Times haven't changed. That said hopefully Samsung will address this in the S8.

Thank you for your detailed answer I really appreciate it I'm sorry to hear that you struggle with this topic as well just to make sure I attached a picture the exact location can you confirm that this is the spot where you see it as well

Yes happens right there, above the home button. But again, that's not the only place where you'll find the light. It's annoying sure.
I have not noticed any light bleeding like you've described.
Although at night, as shown above, brighter sides of the screen will cause where the glass/aluminum meet to "glow" since the display light is reflecting/traveling down the curved edges. Looks weird, and not a fan of it... but not a deal breaker either.
My onyx edge has a gap between the metal frame and front glass, more or less around the volume buttons region. I read it's not uncommon, but it worries me because it could mean water leaking in.
Every device has a gap between the the aluminum bezel and the glass. Not sure why Samsung designed it this way, but it's literarily in every device. Along with very minor light bleed by the notification led, home button, and earpeice speaker. I don't think it'd have any impact on the water resistance, otherwise every device would be broken that took a dip in water.
You're right but I still don't trust the water resistance. Also what I've noticed is that the screen is a bit nervous when on full brightness. Almost seems like an ultra fast flickering when I look at the screen

I know that there are many variants of the galaxy S but there ive seen some models of the I9000 having a vertical square shaped L&P sensor such as this

whereas mine has a horizontal oval/circular shaped L&P sensor. Any thoughts?
Mine are horizontal (not like the pic). What difference does it make anyways, lol.
the 2 dots are side by side
that will be horizontal
the picture is vertical (top & bottom)
if you are asking this question because you are concerned about the Screen Protector, then there's no need to worry it works, even if covered

side by side here.. could just be a mistake in the drawing of the i9000
Horizontal for me as well.

did you see what i said on my original reply?...
yeah, just trying to warn people to check it out first as it was really unsightly.
Now im using a screen protector which covers everything except for the home button and speaker and its so seamless i dont notice its there

yes i agree
i still got 2 of those screen protector with the top/down cut
i prefer the ones that protects everything except the home button
i prefer no screen protector
this kind of glass doesn't get scratched

It DOES (if you apply enough pressure).
i agree this phone screen is basically scratch resistant. The back cover on the other hand is horrid, and has many scratches... Dropped it a few times on asphalt and the phone front looks band new but the back is starting to show signs of wear and tear.

I have seen some reports of people thinking their lenses are scratched when in fact they are micro cracks. This is my third phone with this problem and I took some pictures to show people what to loo for and how to do it.
Here is a picture of what appears to be a scratched up lens.

But when you plane light off the surface of the glass you can see it is clean, they aren't scratches but micro cracks which in turn get bigger and look like scratches.

This is a defect that will come out more and more, somethings wrong, either they didnt put a rubber gasket around it or the phone flexes too much and its too thin to withstand the strain?
Look really close and you may see the beginnings of the cracks in your lenses too.
I dont see anything in your pictures as hard as I'm looking. I don't have anything on mine either. I wouldnt call it a defect. Something had to have happened for it to crack whether you noticed you did it or not. I used to say the same worth the Nexus 4 glass back. Things don't just break themselves. It's thick sapphire crystal.. Not glass.

Ok, you must not have read my post, this is the third one I have had with this issue. If you look at the top pic you'll see what looks like scratches on the bottom right of the lens itself, except they go all across the whole lens ( hard to photograph. The second pic shows a clean surface which proves they aren't scratches.
No I did not hit it on anything, had it in a case before I even left the store all 3 times. I also have a Nexus 4 without a scratch on it. Others are reporting scratches, but I wanted to show they aren't scratches at all, but cracks within the sapphire itself, and YES sapphire crystals damage easily, just look at watches with their sapphire crystals, and they are much thicker then this thin piece they used here.
I got my note 4 for 1.5 week now and today i saw something very very odd.
The screen was off and i saw the reflection of a ceiling lightbulb in my screen and what i noticed was that at a certain spot the reflection gets deformed! like you would push too hard on the screen and you'd push that section a little deeper.
I tried to capture a photo but that didnt really work out as the camera is blinded by the reflection. It looks like the glass just isnt completely flat , like when its still liquid and cooling down you'd put your finger on it to make an indent..
Its located in the middle heightwise and about 2/3rd to the right side. I've never ever seen this before, only with my ipod touch 4g i could push the glass and it would change reflections (so it kinda bent a little bit) but it came back to how it should be when pressure was released.
I've been very careful so i have no idea how this could have occured.. should i bring it back to the store or something?
I'm not really sure what you are describing but sounds like a defect. Better try returning it before you cant.
Return it before it's too late. That spot could be ripe for problems down the road when you've run out of warranty (ie weakness in the glass.)
Mine's the same. Almost like it has ripples but only noticable when the screen's off and I look at a bright light reflected in it.
I assumed it was normal . . . Perhaps due to the 2.5D (or whatever it's called) glass production. Doesn't seem to make any difference to the display or to touch sensitivity.
Anyone else have this?
Vey vey slight ripple on mine, but it's still considered normal. 2.5D is the rounded feature at the edges of the screen where it meets the metal rim.
yea mine isnt noticeable when the screen is on, only when looking at bright reflections. I'm going to the store just so they can notice it too and maybe write it on my warranty or something
Mine isn't flat either! Remember my Galaxy Note 10.1 had a similar problem but it was only on the back cover... having the same problem on the front side is totally unacceptable to me and I will return it tomorrow!!
Problem must be that components underneath the screen is sticking up too much.

I was checking my phone today and saw something white like on the left side of the speaker grill.
Can u guys check ur phone and see if this actually happened around ur speaker grill?
Not yet.... What happened is it scrapped off to the metel?
Are you sure it is not just a light reflection?
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
Nothing on mine, could be dirt ?
Nothing alike here, maybe the grill just isn't perfectly fitted and you got a small piece of dirt/paper/whatever there.
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
I hope its not a crack or anything.
Nothing happened actually but i was fiddling around my phone today when i saw this.
Going to the 60 minute service center later.

Nope not a reflection
If this does happen i would say the qc is rather bad
Mine doesn't. But it's the glass not cut nicely. I see it kinda like that on various parts around where the glass meets the frame.

Did you soaked it on water?

I believe I have the same thing around my speaker grill. I think it is dirt because if I remember correctly, it didn't have it before. Was going to take compressed air to it, but forget about it every time
It's just dust. You will notice that this will also happen with your home bottom. No worries
It's dust from the pocket lint. A microfiber cloth will get rid of it I get the same issue if I use a flip case with a earpiece cutout
I have an issue with the glass around the speaker grill. It appears to be with a slightly darker black colour. Looks more like a smudge but cannot be cleaned. Do you know what that might be from or should I be concerned about it?
Yes. I see multiple black holes. Not sure if this is normal

My S10+ have a gap at back side, top left corner (on the side of power button). I am able to insert paper into that gap, and even my nail goes inside there with slight pressure.. but it doesnt lift up completely.. only the edges are slightly raised up if nail is pushed in and try to pull that out.. paper also stops going beyond a limit.. I dont know if it is a manufacturing feature or not because in the user manual its written that it is normal to have a gap around the outside cover of my phone. Many times water has gone inside through that gap but until now the phone is working perfectly fine. I had same issue with my A7 2018 and A50.. they both had exactly the same type of gap but at the front side bottom left corner (same position on a7 2018 and a50).. I checked in store and compared it with other a50 and a7 2018.. they all had that exact same gap and you could even push your nail inside that gap and lift up the screen to a good extent.. however on s10+ it was on back side and it wasnt possible to lift up the back panel just by pushing the nail inside.. It really feels so cheap when someone pays for a high-end device and have such tolerances or whatever for expansion/contraction.. Does anyone else have that gap as well on your S10+ ?

There needs to be gaps for expansion and contraction else screen would crack.
These gap posts have been around since the note 3 days on nearly all Samsungs. There is also tolerance levels in the manufacturing process, you may find another s10+ with the bigger gap on the other side or the front.

Actually, my phone have gap everywhere around the casing (enough to push in thin paper).. both front and back side but on the back side top left corner it is slightly big enough to push in my nail..
Looks normal to me. If in doubt send it back.

Got the same gap. Since its shape is very regular it absolutely never occured to me to try and scratch it. I hope this won't be an issue in a few months/years...
looks normal

Even if nail can be pushed into the gap, is that normal ?
