To be honest, I cannot see anything faulty with the camera's edge paint. It is supposed to be silver only at the top, whereas on the sides it should be the phone's color, which is the case with you. Maybe a better quality picture would show the problem more clearly, but as far as this photo is concerned I really do not see any problems.

Hello, I am have seen some other complaints about the scratched home buttons on the galaxy s6 out of the box. Mine has this but is pretty small. I was just wondering if I should go back to the store and get a replacement. Thanks! I have uploaded an image to show you.

Had that same problem on the Note 4 I had took it back got it replaced, when your paying alot out for a Smartphone you expect it to be perfect condition when buying new out of the box.

Thanks! I'm just trying to see if it is worth it to get it replaced for that small scuff on the home button. Everything else on the phone is perfect.
Hello friends!! I am new here and going through a serious issue which has not been seen before in Samsung Galaxy S6.
Samsung S6's front screen at the right corner besides the front camera is not properly intact..if you press lightly you'll observe that it is loose and moving... guys i have changed 3 phones from service centre and all are having same issue... even the demo phone at Samsung Showroom is also having same issue... i think it is the manufacturing defect in the phone and all Samsung Galaxy S6 are having same issue... though the phone is working absolutely fine and smooth... I just want to confirm whether you are also having same issue with your phone or not....thanks in advance...!!!
No I have no trouble with screen at all
Ya it moves about 1-2mil. Never noticed that before thanks
Friends please confirm your Samsung S6's screen is having the same issue or not...so that the matter may be brought into the notice of Samsung..!!! Thanks in advance..!!!
Picture plz.

Okay so I smashed up my S5 the other day pretty badly and now I plan on repairing it.
The glass is smashed and the digitizer is broken but it makes the boot noise and google now works as well as s-voice so I think that after the digitizer has been replaced it should work. I've tried to view the screen through a computer using adb with usb but I don't think usb debugging was enabled because it didn't work. If anyone has any ideas on a way I can check that it will work after I replace the screen that would be great.
Okay so the main question: I have a full sized Samsung Galaxy S5 G900I (the Asia/Australian version) and was wondering if anyone knew if I could replace the digitizer and screen assembly with one from a Samsung Galaxy S5 G900F (the fullsize UK version). This is because I'm living in the UK and was hoping to replace the screen/digitizer with used one from the UK model.
Any help is much appreciated and if this has been posted before then could someone link me to it please because I've done some searching but haven't found this question. If there's any other info that I've left out just say

From my searching it seems they have the same screen specs.
and most of the other Galaxy S 5 digitizers from the G900 series are universal. The difference between these two phones are the LTE speeds.
If you have a low budget I wouldn't recommend risking it due to lack of information, but if you have 120$ you're willing to blow, go ahead, and if it works well now we know it works and other people with this problem can use this thread a reference. I hope this helps!

Thanks for clearing that up, I'll probably end up trying to repair it because I loved that phone. I'll post back if I do.
Hey Guys I just got a brand new Samsung Galaxy S8 Orchid Grey.
It has only been a day and I love the phone but I was so disappointed to see that the phone suffers from light leak.
There is light bleeding from the bezel between the front camera as shown in this picture.
Is this normal and accepted? I saw some phones at a demo shop and the black ones didnt have this while the others did.
Do you guys have the same and if so does it affect water resistance?
Shall I keep it or exchange it and get a new one I got to pay 200$ for it.
Have attached pictures of my phone along with a reference picture of better quality.
please do let me know what you think
i had ordered my phone off amazon and noticed the light bleed. searched around and it didn't really find a clear answer to say if its a defect or just something that the phone has. i sent it back to amazon, thinking it was bad, and picked one up from best buy, they were the same price, so no big deal. opened up the new one and was met with disappointment, it looks like its a typical thing for the phones. guess its up to you if you want to just go with it or try again with another one. i did take the one from amazon to a shop to see whats up, they suggested to just return it. if they were to try and fix the gap, the water proofing would have failed. best of luck with it, seems like a good phone so far

Hey thanks for the reply.
So the one you got from best buy does it have the same problem?
Does light reflect and if so where?
This is what samsung chat told me
yes, the best buy model has the same problem in the same area. the light shows at the front facing camera and the iris scanner. i talked to a rep myself and he had suggested that i take it to a repair center.
*the person you talked to could be right, maybe it is just the lens or something.
Go for replacement. Practice the warranty thingy.

I dont have warranty since I purchased it out of the country. The only option i have is that i spoke to a shop seller who is ready to exchanged it for a new phone with warranty and i have to pay 200$. So i am wondering if the new phone i get also has the same issue.

Unfortunately, I don't know if it is normal or not. I'm hoping it is normal, I'm keeping the one I bought from Best buy. I guess in your case it may be worth it to get the exchange, since you'll get a warranty with it. Best of luck with everything!

well true i will get a warranty with it but i am also paying 200$ bucks for it and if it is the same thing then I would be very very disappointed.
Do you know anyone else who has a S8 or Note 8 and suffers from the same?
Also where does the light bleed occur on your phone exactly?

No, I don't know anyone with the same phone. The light comes directly above the front facing camera and the Iris scanner.
I do not have this issue here, so I would say its a manufacturing defect, and they are aware about it, and they actually try to make it look like its normal.

You must having it increase your brightness to max and keep a white background/wallpaper and then check.
I just went to a Samsung Service Center and first he told me that it was normal and not an issue then i insisted on showing me another phone so he showed me a device whose repairs he had just concluded with a brand new screen and that phone had the same issue! not an issue its just reflection apparently.
Check yours again in a dark environment and let me know

Apparently from the most of the phones I have seen all have this issue to some extent.
I dont know what to do if I should sell it off and or pay more and get a new one or keep it.
When you put a cover on you cant see anything but still once you see you cant unsee it

So to see it you ONLY have to increase brightness to max in the dark with a fully white wallpaper? Yeah I'll be so upset if I have this..... ?

I checked another store and all their phones have the same. I havent seen one yet which doesnt have it.
Also does the notification LED bleed through the bezel when it is turned on?

I mean it is more visible when it is on max brightness and a white background. Does your phone have it?.

No worries it's something normal
