When I went to the shop for my Z2, a freshly opened (purple) one had several little paint chips around the phone at that line (refer to picture marked by the arrow) revealing underneath's silver color. We opened a second box, though not as severe and visible as the first one, there were also very slight paint chipping off around the same area.
Is this a common issue? does your Z2 has paint chipping off at the edge where it starts to be a mat color (refer to picture)? now i'm worried with just a few weeks use might eventually chip it off considering it can already chip off when it's brand new. Don't remember having this issue with the Z1's paint even after a half year of heavy use!
It's most likely a manufacturing flaw. Not necessarily easily damaged. All phones have some tiny flaw usually. The s5 I had came with plastic molding sticking up in some spots making it looked scratched. But this phone is pretty perfect. I have one teeny tiny mark you speak of. And you can't see it unless you look for it

So i don't know where to begin, i ordered a xperia z2 the day it was announced but i was also going on a vacation with my family, so i asked sony if i would get my phone before leaving, they said no so i assumed they cancelled my preorder, anyway when i got home i decided to order it again from a retailer instead of directly from sony, when i got it i noticed that it looked well worn out, the plastic had spots and bits where the color seemed to be missing the metal frame also had very light faint spots, so i decided to ask for a refund.
This time i decided to order directly from sony, but it turns out the first one i ordered did not get cancelled so i received two xperia z2's in the mail, so i opened one of them and noticed the same problem, the plastic looked worn out so i decided to open the second one same problem there.
So i wounder is this normal? it looks like someone polished down the texture the plastic has to be completely smooth, it's missing that rough like texture a little here and there, basically causing the plastic frame to have tiny bits being smooth in the shape of small lines so to put it simple, black or dark lines at the top of the frame.
one phone even has a cut in it so it looks like someone took a needle sized knife and sawed in the plastic frame, and one has the protective plastic film on incorrectly, exposing 1 cm of the phone itself.
if i were to be entirely honest it dosn't look very new or premium with these problems, but considering i have three of them with the same problem i guess it's normal, please note they are all worn down differently lines are at random places so nothing identicle.
What plastic are you talking about? The phone is aluminum and glass.

Well, to be specific there is some plastic around the aluminum frame.
Surrounding the glass and the ports are plastic the middle band is aluminium.

Mine is textured but consistent along the entirety of the device. On both my Z2 phone and tablet. It looks exactly like the stock photos you'll find on Google Images. If you have something else, I'd take it back. Not sure how it could be worn already unless someone used it for a drop test video and then returned it. Or its a manufacturing defect.
Anyone suffered any of the paint coming off their s9? Despite being in a Spigen Rugged Armour case abs and not dropped a tiny bit of the black paint has come off the left hand bottom corner
No issue on my device...still looks brand new
I have a similar thing happening to me my phone has always been in a case and the paint is coming off from the fingerprint sensor, I took it to ubreakifixit and they said is not covered under warranty

Same thing same phone. But it works.
Actually you have to clean the case time to time,As dust gets stuck which can scratch the paint easily
Mine has a little chipped paint around the band very small but it shows silver. Not a big deal just irritating could take back since only had five days but not worth the hassle.
well there is something I want to show you guys that has been bothering me for a while now, I didn't want to share it before cuz I find it rather ridiculous since I am the kind of person who notice things other people usually don't. and i'ts most likely my OCD just kicking in.
there is a very slight imperfection near the headphone jack where the glass meets the metal, it seems like a small bend, I'm not sure. here is a video of it.

does anyone has experience with anything similar ?.
could it be just the painting process? I can see that some people online are experiencing some paint pealing off. isn't the aluminum andonized though. whats funny is that there are some micro scratches on the device here and there but they don't seem to bother me as much as this. my friends can barely notice it.

I guess you don't use a case? I use bulky OtterBox cases and I couldn't see the issue you're referring to even if I tried.

my phone has been in a case since day 1. in spiden neo hybird. the thing is that you can only see it under certain light. I believe it came from the factory this way. it looks like it's machined this way or something.
it seems that this slight imperfection is present on all corners near those white bands but not on all S9 plus colors though. only on the shinny variant liliac purple and gray. the black doesn't seem to have it. mine has this corner worst than the others but I can see all the corners are suffering slightly from this looking at the phone directly with overhead light.
I even watched a disassembly video where the guy removed the glass back of the phone and I can see how it's has a bend near the white line in the corner. I think it's part of the manufacturing process of the aluminum andonizing of these colors. since I think the aluminum frame is made from a single block. since unlike other phone that use a plastic buffer between the metal and glass there is no way to hide the machining imperfections which is expected I guess.
Had this on my s8 also silver model.
Did you peel the plastic protective strip off? (Hint: you didn't, I can see it).
My P30 pro came out og the box from fabric with huge scratch on it. And several small around the bezel.
The scratch vere on the bezel top left.
Anyone Else having this?

What the F? That's very strange. Guess I'll have to inspect mine at the shop. Sigh.
I have visible spots between the bezel and the backplate. You may see it in good light.
I think I may have a kind of OCD since I am so irritating upset about minor details.. ???
Hi everyone, it really not bothers me too much so I am not replacing it, but wanted to confirm with others if they had the same issue (or if this is normal/to be expected). When I opened my S23 Ultra packaging and removed the films I noticed a few vertical stripes on the sides of the phone, except the left side. One on the top, two on the right side and two on the bottom. They are not irregular, it is like a pattern, i.e. they are equally distanced from left and right edge of the phone at the bottom, as well as on the right side (all closer to the side edges than the center). It is just difference in the color and standing like a stripe of a darker tint.
I am wondering if this could be result of the packaging process or maybe they didn't wait enough time when assembling and packaging the phone. Anyone else observed this on their S23 Ultra? I can post photos however have already applied an extra tempered glass that covers the screen's curved edges too and a hard-to-remove case below it so do not want to risk bubbles, etc.
Many thanks.
Don't see anything like that on mine... Picture of it could help a lot what to look for...
Are you sure this wasn't the clear protective stickers that are around the edges of the phone, which need to be peeled off?
I removed these when I've got the phone. Here are some photos taken with the case, the stripe-like deviations are still visible though subtle. I may be wrong but have the feeling there was some kind of a film, plastic or paper attached to the phone's frame (or else) before they placed it in the box for packaging; it's like it was not yet ready (dry), but I may be wrong.
I think you are talking about signal antennas. It's completely normal.
It's normal - antennas. Even every phones with metal frame looks similar.
Yep it is antennas..
