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

Pictures below
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.

New device delivered to me this morning couple dead pixels great this device getting sent back to Samsung I going to reguest a full refund the QC on these devices are so poor going to wait till end of June to purchase one instead not going to play the exchange lottery.
When its completely dark, and the notification button lights are on, I can see light coming out of the bottom bezel (this is the part where the bezel meets the plastic part, between the home and back buttons). Does anyone else see the same problem? Should I ask for a replacement?

It does sound like a defect. Flipkart anyways has a return policy, right? I think you can return it and get a new one if that's permitted.

I have the same problem. I am keeping the lights off so that it doesn't bother me
I know its a defect but I can live with it
Yes it looks to be a manufacturing defect.
You can probably talk to the customer care guys in your area to get a solution on this.
Or just ignore this as other users do.
I have placed a replacement order and flipkart customer care called me and informed me that the courier agent will come and pick up the phone in 3 days. Once they take the phone to the service center and if the phone is 'eligible' to be replaced, they will send a new phone within 15 days. I am just curious if this is worth the effort as i have read in some other forums that someone else got yet another defective piece as replacement.. What do you guys think?

Did you talk to the customer care people for replacement or flipkart?
Im one of the lucky customers who got to try 3 Mi 4i devices! lol.. First 2 devices had the same defect and as a last bet, i went with another replacement instead of refund. Luckily, Im now holding the third device which is defect free
Edit:
For me, replacement was no hassle. Initiated replacement in Flipkart, Rep called me to confirm and next day, they delivered a new device and took the defective device. When I placed replacement req for already replaced device, Rep told that they wont provide replacement second time and instead he was ready to process refund. But I insisted on getting replacement for which he accepted and sent the replacement the very next day. I guess the city where you live in matters.. and I live in Bangalore.
I also got a replacement, but the new phone also has the issue. But its less prominent and I have to stare hard at the phone to see the gap. Anyway, I just decided to live with it and turned off the button notification so that's not a bother any more....

Thanks
I stopped back in Best Buy to ask if they knew about compass calibration resetting, and they said they do know, and that they are replacing phones with faulty compasses. If it is still within 14 days of purchase from Best Buy they will trade the phone out on the spot. If you are outside the 14 day return period, then Samsung will still replace the phone, but you have to mail yours in and they will send a new one - leaving you without a phone for the duration of that process. Which is idiotic. But, I'm with Sprint, and they said that Sprint will switch it out, on the spot, if you go into a corporate store. So that is what I will do tomorrow.
They said very few S6's had the compass report, but the ones that reported it are gold. (mine is gold.) Other than that, it's only been S6 Edges are are affected.
Now watch, I'll trade in my phone for a working compass and end up with an ISOCELL sensor.
I would not risk replacing the phone because of resetting compass calibration if everything else works ok. Too many things can go wrong - you can get faulty screen (pink/yellow tints, uneven brightness, uneven color), dim flash issue, faulty accelerometer or fingerprint scanner, random reboots, scratched camera/heart sensor glass/home button, the camera sensor you don't want etc. I still think it is software related as all 4 devices I checked had this issue. Are you sure it is HW related ?

I'm not sure of anything, but if Samsung is swapping them out instead of waiting waiting for an update, then it sounds like they are sure.
I hope very much that this is software related issue, because there's no way I can swap phone...

Yeah, but remember Best Buy is not Samsung. I would not trust too much in their words, their answer is very often: yes, it is known issue, we will swap the device. So if you did not get a confirmation from Samsung itself I really doubt it is HW-related issue. It is just a fix for people who are not patient enough.

No, these are Samsung reps in the Samsung corporate area of Best Buy. They are solely Samsung. They don't sell anything, and cannot access Best Buy computers - they are only there to demo Samsung products and give info. I'm not referring to the Best Buy Wireless employees. (I don't know if every store has a Samsung corporate display area, but all the ones I've been to in L.A. have them.)

No, I didn't. Aside from being lazy, it hasn't been much of a problem since I rarely reboot my phone. I have a feeling that someday I will be upset I never got it replaced, but it's just not a big enough issue right now to take the time to do it.
What's with the title here? LOL. Did Samsung really acknowledge a problem?
I hate this compass problem. Same **** on my Note 3.
On my small Pixel (black 128GB edition) I get severe lens flares in situations, that were never a problem for any smartphone before.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfz8YmHmeJ4 The video here illustrates the issue pretty well, several very well known people on YouTube + Twitter have encountered the exact same problem, including @MKBHD, @DetroitBORG and @superscientific !
I'd like to know if there are devices out there that don't have this problem. You won't see it in all lighting situations, but it's very pronounced in some - where it shouldn't be.
I have.noticed this today on my camera I attached a photo the halo or flair can be seen at the bottom the pale grey around the bottom left and right. Like you say, it's only in certain light conditions and certain angles. Must be the glass that surrounds the lense.
Looks like the the phone has been rushed out and not tested properly.
Two more photos
This is definitely a design floor as happens if the camera is on its sides, upside down and normal. Really didn't expect this from such a highly priced phone.
Some more photos from me:
I'm talking to support via the built in support. I'll let you know what they say.
I'm taking mine back to the carrier store in an hour. No way I'm going to accept this.
This is happening to me as well. Definitely a deal breaker, unless covering the glass with a case fixes the problem. It's a shame, because the camera blows everything else out of the water.
Been in contact with EE and they have said my handset is defective so they are sending me a new one tomorrow. Excellend support from them, Thought it would have been a pain in the arse

Well be prepared for disappointment. My phone has it too. I guarantee every Pixel does. Probably because of the subtle curve on the rear glass.

Yeah I'm not going to hold my breath, but the guy who done the video in the first post had two pixels and only one of them done.this. I'll just keep returning them until I get one that works
Google said they didn't know about this but they have forwarded the link to this thread and the YouTube video so they can investigate further.

Do you really believe they are going to eliminate the halo with that approach?
No way. It's a design flaw. The question is how does that digital picture site
give this phone such a high rating and they never saw this in any of their pictures?
This just doesn't add up. I am awaiting the XL to come back in stock to order
but this is a deal breaker for me unless this is a defect on a few phones.

DxOMark actually did mention the lens flare/halo if you read the entire review... they just call it something more technical.
Yes, I fully believe they will be able to correct for this issue, at least SOMEWHAT, in software. I think the question will be whether or not they can actually preserve detail in the area where the flare is occurring. Google has pulled off some amazing feats with this camera just because of its software... they're not going to claim to do something they can't do.

According to Google, yes. The lens assembly is subject to very tight manufacturing tolerances. Every Pixel is going to have this issue.
Got my new phone, and as stated above I still have the flair so I'm really.imterested into what Google can actually do. I'm off to the park with my dog layer so I'll take lots of photos and upload them here if they have any flare issues.
Don't accept this. Take it back to your point of sale. Get another phone. I am so ****ing done with this.
"We completely, retardedly screwed the entire design of our phone and will now make you use a certain camera mode to mitigate (not resolve) the issue in software"
None of you should accept this.
Out of maybe 100 photos I have taken with this phone, you can maybe see it in like 3-4 photos. Only really happens on my end if I am shooting directly into a light source which most photos are pointing away from a light source. It's not like every photo comes out like this.
I am very very happy with this phone and the camera.

Just been to the park and took some photos only one photo out of about 50 had a halo. I believe Google will fix this.
I've added some of the photos i took today.
Now this really isn't an issue at all but it was pointed out by my friend. There may be other ways of noticing the same but here's how I do it.
Sit in a dark room, as dark as possible (best at night).
Increase the brightness to maximum.
Open any video on MX Player, pause it and zoom out (decrease video size) as much as possible.
Observe the corners around the chin of the device. You should see some light leaking through.
Now of course this isn't an issue you'd encounter normally but it just kinda freaked us out. Any idea what might be causing it? I have no technological knowledge about displays except for the fact that pixels are turned off for black areas in AMOLED displays. We don't have navigation keys backlight either.

There should be no light leak/bleed on an AMOLED screen phone, that is common for IPS screens.
Did you get the phone from the official site?

Doubt it's possible to have "rogue" pixels but I will have to see for myself when mine arrives. But my friend who has it never complained about it, so I have a feeling only a certain batch of them might have this issue.
There also might be a chance it's related to software, so did you try using another rom?

It certainly is weird. I mean that light bleed doesn't exactly appear to be "rogue" pixels either. Plus it's rather too dim to be noticed unless you're sitting in an absolutely dark room with your brightness maxed out and about 75% of the screen totally black (which would rarely ever happen). I believe it could be possible that every unit has this but never really has been noticed by anyone.
The issue isn't that great for me to switch to another ROM and test it. Just wanted to bring this to everyone's notice. I'm on OOS 5.1.11 (rooted)
Yes, I ordered 2 and they were both defect so I sent them back. I did not send them back because of this tho, however i also recognized that both of them had really bad uniformity issues and it looked like the edges were bleeding. I observed that on a white background. I am living in germany and ordered from amazon, the second one got dust in it's front camera lense, when it arrived and the first one was emitting a loud static noise, like coil whine. It's insane, I just want a proper working phone. Not sure, whether I should order a 3rd one.

Wow that's a really big let down on Amazon's part to send defective units, and that too twice! However, I checked my screen for any such uniformity issues both on black and white but didn't find any such except for this one. And I repeat again, this is barely noticeable and is visible only when you're in absolute dark, with maximum brightness on black screen.
Although such a thing is ignorable but it's something which isn't really expected from OnePlus.

Wow that's a really big let down on Amazon's part to send defective units, and that too twice! However, I checked my screen for any such uniformity issues both on black and white but didn't find any such except for this one. And I repeat again, this is barely noticeable and is visible only when you're in absolute dark, with maximum brightness on black screen.

Yea, yours is definately fine. I'd be happy, if I got one like that.
I ordered from Amazon, because I heard the OnePlus support is really unprofessional sometimes and certain things take ages.
Did you guys order it from the official store?
Edit: That being said I wouldn't worry that much about it, if I were you.

Not worrying over it at all! After all, who keeps the brightness at maximum in a dark room.
We ordered it from Amazon India.

I ordered mine from Aliexpress and the comments were all positive. I hope mine won't be defective, I spat my soul out financially for it. :silly:
