So I recently bought the s8+ and noticed two ripple/bump like lines on the top right and bottom corners starting from the curve.I can only see them when in certain lighting/angle. Looks like they are under the glass but the display looks fine when turned on. Any idea what it might be?

Have any of you noticed a weird wrinkly/wavy screen when you look at it from a sharp angle? The other day I looked over at my S6 sitting on a counter next to a window and noticed what looked like my screen warping with horizontal waves across the surface. As I got closer to it and looked at it straight on I see nothing, but when I look at it (screen off) at a sharp angle with good light, I see these weird waves in the material under the glass.
Is this typical for these types of screens or is this warranty territory?
did you return your phone for warranty? I noticed same thing on my unlocked S6 also. It seems like the glass of the screen is wavy.. Don't see same issue on my Samsung Galaxy TabPro 12.2".
There is an old thread about all the various screen issues with the s6 here

amoled display
my 1 week galaxy note 9 also got the same physical appearance. Walked in to authorize repair and they offer me to replace my display instead 1 to 1 swapping or if I still insist, I've to walk in to the shop where I bought it so I don't really bother myself to replace it since it works perfectly when I turn on my screen at any angle. hmm...what would you do if you are at my place?
Hello form Poland.
So after 3 weeks of having the flat S7 found a coating failure on my phone.
In clean condition there is no mark or visible surface difference.
Just if there is fog or fingermarks the issue is visible. The problem seems to be comparable to the LG G4 problem with the coating.
Attached some pictures.
What do you think? Complaint relevant?
It looks like even my new S7 is suffering from this. When the phone is cleaned its not visible. But when its smudgy, a consistent diagnol line appears. Its not a scratch, its just there.

I have the same problem!

I have the same problem and I'm going to service center
did you come there? what did they tell you? what did they do with phone? how did they fix it?
I have the same issue on my S7 edge.
I have the exact same issue around the speakergrill. When I clean it it's not visible but once you touch it and leave fingerprints you can clearly see it. Not sure if there are other areas on my screen with the same problem as it has a protector but hope that it will be covered by warranty if needed.

I also have that issue around the speakergrill. I noticed it after a call, so I thought it must be because I put it against my ear. After a day or two, I noticed it again. Tried to clean it with water, and as soon as I touched it, it returned. It isn't much of an issue, since it isn't anywhere near the screen, but it is a bit annoying.
Did you eventually return your phone?
thats why I bought a Silver color S7 edge, and bought a screen protector...
I have the issue on the s7 around the speaker grill and in the gap between home and display... had the issue on s6 too (around the speaker grill)..
Sent from my SM-G930F using XDA-Developers mobile app
I've got the same problem on my phone. Annoyingly, the day I got the phone I kept the screen protector on but about 1/3 of it lifted off. I short while later I took it off and then waited till the next day till a screen protector arrived.
Fast forward 3 weeks later and I took the screen protector off and now notice the the wear mark, fine when it is clean but visible when smudged. Just niggles at me more than anything. Am considering sending it back for exchange or something.
Did anyone manage to do this successfully? Or did they just say something like wear and tear?
old thread but I have the same issue too, clean it, it looks perfect, the second i touch it and it leaves a fingerprint, looks like a nice long scratch right above my home button on the screen
Just wanted to say i have the same problem around the speaker grill, for now its not too big. Do you think it can get bigger ?
Same problem on my S8. Didn't notice it until day 27 and the folks at samsung are being a complete bear to deal with.
I recently got a brand new black Verizon S7 and my question is about the home button.On the other S7s it seems to have some sort of horizontal lines on it and on mine they are not present,it's like there is some sort of firm on it,but I don't think it is a protector or anything.Also,on the back of the phone is just the Samsung logo and not the other small printings that are present on the lower part of it's back.Should I be concerned?
I just setup the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8+ (SM-955U). I have Otterbox Symmetry Series case on and a Tempered Glass Screen Protector on. The top right corner of the screen is annoying me so seeking some feedback here. On the top right corner of the screen along the edge I see a small arc/semicircle which is very visible in the white background. Is it due to some setting or something else (dead pixels)? All the 3 other corners don't show this. I am attaching some screen shots here. If anyone has any feedback regarding this, I would appreciate it. Thanks
Seems others have reported similar issue on various corners of the phone.

This has been an ongoing issue since curved screens came out. The s6 and s7 edges some did it too. Most never went any farther than those small spots. If it's under warranty send it in but a new screen could do it too.

Thx. Stopped by a local Samsung Service Center. The issue is caused by dead pixels. They will replace the glass screen (digitizer), LCD and the attached cable(s). I suppose this comes as a whole unit. They also mentioned the dead pixel area could grow over time (no way to know if this is true or not).
I am hoping to get mine replaced today.

I have seen it on several devices. Some older. And from what I seen it normally stays localized to the spots in the corners from the pressure of the curves. But that don't mean it can't spread. 99% I have seen are in one of the 4 corners

Thx. While researching on this, the several pictures I saw had one of the 4 corners impacted. I guess that is why S10 has much less "curved" screen.
Hello,
Received my Note10+ yesterday, so far love the device.
I just noticed today (this morning) on bright sun / light a gap of couple of millimeters on top of the screen.
Looks like screen is not going to the edge on top side only, is this normal?

Please see image for better view / understanding.
Thanks
that gap is for the sensors and speaker
Thank you very much for your time and responding to this thread.
I am a little bit confused, isnt the speaker at the bottom?
I had Samsung S10+ until yesterday, and i do not remember seeing gap like this (its not the same phone, but, probably similar design / i might be wrong though).
Thank you
The gap in the middle 2 arrows are the cut out for the front speaker the other gaps are where the screen meets the frame sometime there bigger on different phones its hut and miss
But if it bothers you exchange it for one that fits a bit better
Thank you very much for responding.
I think i have 15 days to replace / return the phone (i will re-check), but, if its kinda normal, and possible on any other phone, even replacement, i do not think its wise to do it.
Once i put case on, i do not even think it will be that visible (hardly visible now as well if not on bright light).
Biggest concern if this would affect IP68 in anyway
Thanks

I think there is a way you can test the ip rating without obviously putting it in water
Back when I had the xperia phones you could squeeze the device and check the pressure didn't rise and stay risen to indicate its water tight
Thank you again for your time.
I decided to test that gap by pouring water on it for about 20-30 seconds, no issues at all.
I will not bother with this, will just enjoy the phone.
Thanks again.
The picture link is not working. From my understanding the only small gap should be in the center where the top speaker hole is. But the left and right side of the top speaker till the corner should not have any gap. I am having the same issue. I'm going to check to see if other models are like that.
Same, should not be there.
In the end i decided to return the phone.
Upon closer inspections took some photos and judging by other demo units on display. They all have that white line gap. Some are more noticable than others. But same line can be seen. I compared 3 different phones from different stores. They all exist. It's seems like that white line looks like maybe it's the adhesive glue. The middle does not have it where the ear speaker cutout is, where the ear speaker hole ends on both side left and right white line is visible because of the extra gap on both sides and it appears that the line stops before the corner on each side of the glass on the top. It's maybe nitpicking buts it's really annoying. I checked on the S10 it's not present on that model and none I see on the Note 9 too. I checked. And since it's like white color can be visible inside the small gap line on the top where the glass meets up with the metal frame.
I actually just discovered that I can get a piece of paper down between the top of the screen and the frame on my Note 10 +!!!??? All along the top of the glass - from the top left corner to the right?
Is this what you are talking about? And will the phone still be waterproof? (There could still be a rubber membrane that prevents water from entering the insides of the phone...)
