I read somewhere on a thread here, which I can't seem to find anymore, that some versions of the Deep Grey color are different and have a black bezel. I have also seen some pics and youtube videos with the Note with the black bezel. I'm not sure if maybe it's just the video and pics that made it seem black or if it's actually black. Can anyone confirm?

I'm researching the iFixIt website because I want to swap out the White notification LED with a Red or Blue colored one. Is that even possible? I would assume it is but let me know what you guys think. I'm going to look at the pictures up close on iFixit's website to see if I can see how to do it.
I also wanted to paint my Xoom (the Aluminum part) another color. Can any paint experts in here recommend a paint solution? Taping advice? I know this voids my warranty but I really don't care about that.
Thanks for looking. Here's the website with teardown instructions:

Hi,
Just for fun I've put mu phone under UV light. I have some slightly yellow backlight bleeding and thought it might solve the yellow tint of backlight bleeding.
I don't have the yellow band, just some yellowish backlight bleeding.
And then I at once saw this:

Can anyone explain what's the rectangular part of the screen that is lighter than the rest of the screen? Or is it the glue that's everyone is talking about?
EDIT: my theory actually worked and no more yellowish backlight bleeding. It's still there (and only visible from a certain angle), but it's not yellow anymore. It's now white
I'm using franco kernel btw, so the screen tint is whiter than with standard kernel. This is when I noticed the yellowish backlight.
Is that the screen on with a black background? It looks so centered and rounded that I have a hard time believing it's not some sort of picture.
(I am not calling you a liar, just saying that it looks strange)
I could assume that your glue has been cured by UV but it has not spread across the whole screen yet. Maybe try putting it under the light again and check if that makes a difference?
The screen was off. Even worse: the phone was off....
That's exactly why I was surprised to see that. And why I asked here.
There is also nothing visible on the screen. The brightness is equal and no discolorations are visible. So I'm not worried about it. Was just curious.
I saw it the minute I've put it under UV light. Didn't change anything after 15 mins (except my yellowish backlight LED's became white) and in general the screen looked whiter)
On another forum I've read it could be some kind of oil to protect the LCD from the digitizer. Not sure it is but could actually be...
Could be glue but the shape is too strange for that.
Another guess is that they like sticked some kind of sticker on the glass (coming from manufaturer) and they remove the sticker without cleaning and then it leaves this kind of residu...
It's only visible under UV light, that's the interesting part.
Hello, I already pre-ordered my Samsung S6 Edge (Sapphire Black) but I was just wondering what people who have the Black Sapphire think about it. All my past phones were color black (unless there wasn't my option) and I absolutely loved my iPhone 4. I just love the effect of having a black wallpaper / turned-off screen when paired with black surroundings gives off (almost like the entire front of the phone is a screen where you can't discern where the screen ends). Since the Black Sapphire changes color depending on the lighting + angle, is that sexy effect still there?
Thanks in advance to those who'll reply and share their personal experiences.
Looks black in the dark and sapphire in the light. the effect is similar to some cars that look different colors depending on the setting.
I wanted to know this as well. I ended up preordering the white simply because i didnt like the way the black looked blue when the sunlight hit it.
All the videos i've watched so far were taken indoors where there isnt much direct light, which makes the device look darker.
when outside and with sunlight directly shining on it, it's noticeably blue...which imo looks ugly since i'm not a fan of blue anything
Not trying to change your decision or anything, but wouldn't a good choice for you to be to buy the Edge instead? It seems to have that effect where there's less of a discernable edge of the screen haha.

Yeah, that's what I've been seeing as well. I wish they just went with a Pure Black color, just like the White Pearl.

Yeah, I'm still unsure whether I'll be getting the Sapphire Black or just go for the White Pearl. I've never liked white phones but the Sapphire Black looks too blue in some light which (for me) just ruins the classiness of having a black phone. If they were going for 2 unconventional colors (the green and gold version) they should have just kept the black conventional (like the white).

Remember the blue S3? The phone kind of looks like that to me, just darker. It's definitely more blue than black, at least under normal lighting in my house. Definitely a sapphire color though, and not very subtle.
That being said, I like it, but I'd prefer if it was more black, with a blue sheen, rather than being a deep blue.
I actually really like the black sapphire despite also not being a fan of blue normally. When the light hits it it looks like a nice dark slate blue, and it doesn't feel overly blue to me. The front of the phone is also a bit more shimmery in that regard.
I decided not to change my pre-order for the Black Sapphire colored Edge. Been playing around with my friends' S4s and S5s and couldn't bring myself to like having a white phone.
To be honest I like blue as a color. I just can't deny how sexy having a pure black phone paired with a dark / black wallpaper looks. Well, maybe the changing colors might amuse me for a while... especially if some people I know gets tricked into thinking I bought 2 phones: a black and blue one
I wanted to get some opinions on the color balance across the screen on peoples phones.
I am noticing the bottom of my screen towards the buttons is slightly purple (about 1/5 of it). I wanted to find out if others had the problem or something similar like inconsistent color temperature across the screen. I am using basic mode.

I have had the s6 replaced three times and each one has the pink screen hue at one end of the screen.
I urge every s6 owner to load up a white wallpaper or background and see if your screen accurately produces white evenly on the display. I bet you it won't. And once you see it, you can't unseen it.
I got my Mi4C a few days ago and like it very much so far, but noticed some backlight bleeding.
It´s only visible on grey background (AdAway or Fire TV app) so i don´t know if my device is broken or not.
Adding a picture for example below but i have to say that in reality its less visible than on the picture.
Please look at the right and left edges.
How about your Mi4C?
Basically just want to know if its faulty and i should get a new one or maybe "Bad construction design" by xiaomi? Now i notice it almost everywhere btw
What exactly is the issue? You mean that the screen is bright at the edges? I think mine is a bit too but it's hard to notice. Can you provide more photos?
My backlight is visable at extreme angels so i think it is just the Sharp display used. It is not the highest quality of components.
I have some light bleed on the top, only visible with a status bar color other than black or white, so kind of a non issue for me
@Ydraulikos
Yes, thats exactly what i mean. The edges of the screen are brighter. Especially the edge marked yellow on the picture.
The other ones are only visible if you look hard for it.
More examples below
