Hello, I recently got my new Xperia Z5 and I noticed whilst looking at the back that the panel seems to be a bit more lifted in the top-right corner. It is quite noticeable when looking up close. Where you can usually feel the "rim" of the phone where the back panel meets the side on the other 3 corners of the phone, you cannot feel it on the top right corner. Is this a normal build "fault" or just me? Does anyone else have this problem?
Thanks
it seems the same with my device, excpet it's in the lower left corner (when phone is lying on the front). it's just a litte little little bit. as long as it stays "waterresistent", i don't bother

Yeah, Im most worried about it affecting the waterproofing but apart from that its just a bit of a bother.

Yeah I'm also worried about that too
It's the same for mine too. My thoughts are pretty much the same as hebbe's. As long as it doesn't affect the waterproofing, it's all right

Without going into a long story I just bought another 300 yesterday after returning the previous one. Upon opening and inspecting it I noticed what looks like a crack along the bezel trim in the upper left corner (in landscape) Between the power and volume buttons. Its right along the bend from the side the to the top. Ive had other 300's and never saw this on any of the others. But Im not 100% sure its a crack. It might just be a joint spot that wasnt aligned right and therefore the paint doesnt cover it. Using my thumbnail I pried slightly to see if the crack opened but it doesnt. Its still secure. So can anyone else verify that they can tell that this is a joint spot?
I also noticed a few things underneath the screen, and normally this would drive me crazy, but after all these returns and exchanges Ive gotten to the point where Im accepting flaws that just shouldnt be there. Its charging now from being totally dead so Ive only gotten a glance at the powered on screen to look for light bleed, and there is one pretty noticeable spot, but it looks like it might be a keeper as far as that goes. As long as I cant see the few particles under the screen when its powered on it wont bother me too much. But if that spot is indeed a crack its definitely going back. Thanks guys
Definitely a joint spot. Holding the tablet in landscape, the bottom two corners also have similar, though less defined, "cracks", but the top right corner does not. Is it the same with yours?

No just the power button corner for me. Pic attached.
After closer inspection I can see that all 4 corners are like that. But the one in the pic is worse. I think they just joined the pieces unevenly, and that caused the line to show up. Im just glad its not a crack.
Well, I wasn't actually referring to them as cracks (hence quotes). I could barely see the seam by the power button, and the other two seams are even less noticeable.
Are you sure you have seams in all 4 corners? Like I said, I only have seams in 3 corners (I've checked the 4th corner many times).

Yea there there in all 4. But only on the edge visible from the front. Very hard to see but there. I cant believe how soft the plastic is. I can see small dents where I pushed down with my fingernail trying to see if the "crack" would move. Wont be doing that anymore.
I have got my tf700 for 2 days. It seems that the bottom left part of the screen/glass (edge) is not as flat as the top part. When I press it, I can feel a little loose. Another thing is when the whole screen is showing a pure black, such as restarting with asus logo, the bottom part is not uniform, with a little spotted white area. Is it just me or common for all tf700?
The small amount of give at the bottom left corner of the screen seems common across many users. Mine was flat but I could press it down 1-2mm and it would spring back up - wasn't really an issue for me. I didn't notice any white spotted areas on the screen when it was black, I've since returned mine so might be worth waiting on someone else's opinion on that.

You're right about the screen and the little white spotted is the light bleed..

Sorry that gave you a bad feeling. I will keep it. I have ipad3 and it has similar light bleed aslo, not a big deal when you use it. It is not noticeable for normal usage. The loose fit of the screen isn't sever at all. Hope asus can improve the software soon. It is a very good tablet but not as smooth as apple, but I love many android functions as apple product can hardly be modified.
Over time, the corners of my screen have become more loose, especially the top right corner. When I press down on it, the screen goes down and feels spongy. It feels like there is a gap or something.
Anyone else experience this problem? I worry about the waterproof ability now.
Thanks

Can you upload an image of your device? I can not comment without that.
It looks like a defect. Better get it replaced in warranty now!

This may sound crazy, but hear me out.
Initially I was excited because the P5 was so light in comparison to other fat behemoth phones that are out there nowadays for it's onehanded usability. Now that I've been using it for a while and realizing that it's sort of fatiguing to use even at its size, I think I figured it out. The phone's center of mass is quite high. Above the middle of the phone when you're holding it. It always feels like it wants to backflip out of my hand.
I ended up taping a washer to the bottom side of the back of my case for some ballast to move the center of mass down. It really seems to help.
Juding by the teardowns of the phone, it seems like the battery is somewhat narrow and tall, instead of (nearly) the entire width of the phone at the bottom. I suspect that's the reason for why it feels off.
Am I crazy?
I can't say you're crazy but I find mine pretty well balanced. If I lay it across my finger, roughly in the middle of the phone it balances pretty good. I will say, I'm 6'4 with larger hands so perhaps in just holding it I'm holding more of the phone.... Unless you have larger hands as well.

My hands are pretty big too, I just find it weird. I really notice it with this phone. I had a OP6 before. Obviously that's bigger but I never really felt like it wanted to leap out of my hand. It was just kinda hard to hit the top left corner. Maybe I just hold my phone weird. Who knows.

I think it's the way you're holding it. I have my index finger under the phone, roughly in the middle and it's very well balanced top to bottom.
Me too. It seems pretty well balanced to me. I can put it across my finger pretty much central to the phone and it sits without toppling. I even have a tempered glass camera lens protector which would add a miniscule amount of weight to the top of the phone.
Coming from a OP 7T the Pixel 5 is wonderfully balanced in the hand, the 7t felt really top heavy thanks to is surfboard dimensions.
Hi guys, I have been using the Flip 3 for a few days and noticed that when the phone is fully folded, the two parts of the phone can move slightly.
I first noticed this when I tried to use Samsung Pay with the phone folded, and when I pushed the power button, the top part of the phone body shifted a bit.
I wonder if anyone else noticed this on their flips?
I just tried wiggling mine when it's closed but it's solid, no movement at all.

Nothing here, my FLIP3 feels rock-solid, no shifting/creaking/etc.

The bottom part it's a little loose on mine. I can see it move a little from the hinge when it's folded. Defective.

That's what's happening on mine. It doesn't bother me that much but I might contact samsung about this and see what can be done.

I had another one before this and the hinge was so loose, it almost opened by itself. Good for people who want to flip it with one hand. It's lottery with this phones. If you are not lucky...
i got the same thing, when closed the move can move a litle bit to the left or right, when openend i dont have any movement.

Thanks for your input. I reckon it's within normal tolerance as it is a moving part after all. It's fine to me since once the phone is open, there's no budge
I have two Flip 3. One Flip has this problem. The other not. Samsung itself only offered me to send the device back and then buy a new one.
How did you get on with Samsung on this? Mine has started doing it!
Mine does it as well. About 1 mm at the most. I'm sure this is within tolerance. Those that don't probably will at some point. It's completely normal that the hinge loosens a bit with use.
Yep tiny bit of movement so acceptable/expected I guess
No movement on mine. I got it day 1 and it's gotten some pretty heavy use.
Had mine since Sep 3rd and when there's no case on there's zero movement, though with the offical leather case the two halves have some slight play(might be due to the case providing more of a bumper along the screen).
Hey all,
Happens on mine as well.
Before this one, I had another unit for testing purposes and that wan't wasn't moving at all. Mine moves a little bit... not worried to much about it, but it's there.
Mine has a bit of play, it also has the tapping sound when running my finger across the top from what sounds like the screen Separating.
