Can't decide which s6 to keep. - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Got a new phone sent to me from Verizon, a gold one and it's perfect except the home button is loose and rattles when I softly tap it. My other s6 doesn't do this but my other s6 has a couple scratches on the aluminum and the screen isn't as bright/whites look more yellowish. This new one they sent me though, whites look much more white and more bright. Idk if I could get them to send me a 3rd new one. Both have very minimal pink tint on screen. Haven't had a chance to test out the battery on the new one they sent me but my original one always gets 5+ SOT. Any advice? I hate that's it's this hard to get a perfect s6.

You can see how much whiter/brighter whites are on the new one they sent me.

Tbh I'd send both back and get a 32gb white straight s6.

I'd send them both back. Some people on here don't seem to be bothered by the loose home button. Personally, it drove me mad and it felt cheap. I ended up getting the store to keep opening boxes until we found one without any problems. All of the S6's had the loose button, so I ended up with an S6 Edge.

You probably won't notice the tint unless you hold it next to another phone. Having said that, I would personally return the one with the loose home button because that would drive me nuts. Especially considering the rest of the phone is such an upgrade from Samsung's previous plastic phones.

The home button shouldn't be lose. Mine is solid. Return it if you can.
You'll notice most color hues disappear if you increase the brightness, that doesn't bug me at all, and most AMOLED displays have this problem in one way or another.

Well, I definitely have to decide between these 2 now because Verizon won't send me or a 3rd new phone. They said it would be a refurbished now. Lame. What bugs me more... Slightly more yellow whites and a couple scratches on bezel that a case hides but a perfect home button(but knowing they are there bugs me) or whiter whites, no scratches but a loose button.

Looks like the lcd's bad. Still have warranty left?
Looks like a smurf had fun with your screen.
Send it in for warranty, you got a bad lcd.

Contact them. They'll most likely need an IMEI number or serial..
You'll be fine. Do a titanium backup or nandroid backup and send it in.

It almost looks like the screen got too close to a magnet.

Almost but the pattern looks too much like leaking fluid for me to think that. Also, I don't think LCD screens are effected by magnets like that. Correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not about to start dropping magnets on this one..

Moisture....you dip it in the stool?
Did you happen to install screen protector with an included fluid? Same happen to my Inspire me when I got little too generous with the fluid on the screen. But then I left it in a spot next to my radiated heater inside a paperback for overnight and it dried off and completely went away.
Has there been any excess pressure on the screen? That's really weird. I'm curious now LOL

I think it might have been the screen cleaning apart I used.

I ordered it Thursday or Friday and got it today. The fit is perfect. The buttons are cut out in such a way that they stick through the case (rather than being covered) and I like that. It makes them easy to press but harder to press by accident than the rubber cases that cover the buttons.
If I have one complaint it is that the one in the picture looked more clear. This one has clear spots but the pattern is opaque and not very subtle. I was hoping for less of a pattern and more of the phone's natural beauty to show through.
All total I am satisfied. I ordered a black case (the one with the swirl on the back) the same day so I will see which one I like more when it gets here. I suspect I will like the look of the black one better so I hope the fit is as good as this one.
i have one of these on my xoom. Quality is superb
I just got the black one and I like the way it makes the phone feel
feels a lot better then the tmobile one and I like that the holes are cut out were there suppose to be

Same thing here, it's a bit wobbly but works fine anyway.
I checked if the watch is coming off the ring but it isn't, so I'm getting used to hear that "clickityclick" while shaking my arm.

Yeah this was the first thing I noticed when I got my watch, besides that, everything else seems to be built pretty good.

Same issue here and it's slightly annoying when it rattles due to the vibration. (I don't wear my watch strap super tight).
i think the build quality suck, actually
my power button, out of nowhere, suddenly feels all weird and i have to press it very hard for it to function, make the watch close to unusable
all in all the experience with this watch has been dramatic and i hate it now
not gonna wear it anymore and going to wait for my HOT Watch
same here... only notice it when it vibrates... takes the discreet factor and throws it out the window
Ehm, OK, wtf!
It's not the button, it's the plastic thing inside that's come loose from the aluminum frame
Is that what people mean when they say "my screen is coming loose"?
I'll post a pic tomorrow, this is really pathetic build quality!
Or rather, WHAT build quality???
explains a lot....

doesn't look that sexy naked.. put it back together!
Already did, with superglue, which also fixed the button
Still absurd it can fall apart like that....

Greetings,

Have you decided already?

Ya, black is looks good but the chrome looks ok too, kinda.
Definitely Chrome (unusual+classy+useful mirror+no scratched paint+less heat under the sun) [emoji4]
Will get the black one, to replace my Nexus 6P.
Pre-ordered the black one. None of the available pictures really show what either of them looks like as if seeing them in person. I was interested in the Chrome one at first because the pictures made it look good. But in reality, after reading several reviews from those who have held it in hand, it is basically like having mirrors on the front and back. Too distracting...too much "bling" for me. So even though the Deep See Black is certainly reflective it has to be better than the Chrome. Even the official Sony Mobile site makes them look more matt than highly reflective. Can't wait to see them in person.
Hardest decision I have to make in my life haha but leaning toward the black one cuz it looks like it shows a blue hue in the sunlight
I'll be getting the bronze pink for my Chinese girlfriend in Shanghai to replace a old LG phone
I'll go with black
Silver
black *
Black
Blaxk indeed
Is the black one painted, is scratches and dings along the side will show silver? That might be one benefit of the silver. Still debating....
I'll be putting a case on it, so not that bothered. I'll probably take the deep sea black because I don't want to keep seeing my reflection in the chrome bezel!

You must be a riot at parties.
Is black really black or is it dark blue? I find the name deep sea black a little confusing. ..

Went with the Chrome one. Ordered a clear very thin case for it. All the color look really nice. Difficult choice.

OnePlus seal issue

Just received my Pro and have an issue with the seal around the screen. There is some pieces sticking out and near the grill in the second pic you can see that the distance from the grill to the screen isn't consistent. Concerned about water and dust.
Anyone else have this issue?
I've contact 1+ and they want me to send the phone back for them to look at it and decide if it deservers replacement. They said it could take 7-10 days, 12gb/256gb models are 9 days out right now so I figure it will be longer. I can't be without a phone for 2 weeks basically. They can't cross ship even if I put down a deposit for the second phone.
Any suggestions?

Dude go see my post I just made in this forum. Run away, 90 hz isn't worth this.
Is this something you just noticed or is this something you typically inspect for with you get your phone(s)?
No issues on mine. Did you drop your phone OP? Is that even a oneplus 7 pro?
Yes it is and I just barely took it out of the box when I took the pic.

I just got back from exchanging mine. I didn't have a seal issue but my issue was the screen colors started to appear washed out after about 3 days of use. At first I thought it was maybe a setting or something until I rebooted into fastboot and recovery. The white text also appeared washed out on there. It was definitely a hardware issue. The screen eventually became an all yellow tint and was completely unresponsive to any touch input. I'm hoping it was just a lemon and I have better luck with my new one.
My device also is flawless on both sides. Great build quality as always when buying a Oneplus.
But yours definitely looks kind of odd and personally it would totally freak me out.
