So did anyone already found some dead pixels or subpixels, or yellowspots / stains in the screen.
Let us know here.

Lucky you, i have a "dead pixel", green one.
And a yellowspot in the rightbottom corner, but that'll fade over time. (i hope)
I'm glad that the screen has a very high resolution, it's really hard to even notice the dead pixel.
I have noticed a yellowish tinge at the bottom of the display. Only really notice it when there is a white background. Is it likely that the display is somehow faulty??

I have the exact same, a yellowish spot in the bottom right corner.
I hoped it was the same problem as the iphone or SGS2.
They say the yellowspot is from the glue that they use to stick the screenlayers together, but it needs time to vaporise and should go away over time.
But I have my phone now almost a week and i still get the spot back now and then.

Lol software problem :')
Sounds like bull**** to me.
I had contact with T-Mobile today, about the dead pixel and yellowspot.
The guy told me he's going to get information for me, and see if they can replace it. he'll send me an email later.
Same hear.
Barely visible yellowish (only on whites) at the bottom part of the screen.
It varies depending on the view angle.
Perfect screen here

T-Mobile called me today, they'll send me a new one next week
I've had 2 Xperia S's so far both have some/one dead subpixels, T-mobile will call me when they have it on stock it again.

Lucky you! I'm still waiting for update from Sony! Will see if they can replace the unit.
I also noticed that at times the yellowish spot disappears and appears back again! I wonder what it could be!!

Ah you are the guy from the T-Mobile forum (Hiraj) with 5 dead pixels.
Anyway they told me it's in stock again next week (Monday 19th)
Just noticed that my screen keeps flickering, this is more noticeable on white backgrounds, is this normal as in the auto brightness or should I be worried?

Hi guys just wanna update you regarding screen issues.
I've spoken with people on the forum of my country, other 2 guys with Xperia S and both of them got that really barely visible yellow tint on the bottom part of the screen (also, one of these guys has 2 Xperia S -him and his brother- and both of them have that tint).
Really difficult to explain it on forums (nothing compared to the GS2 yellow tint) because it's really hard to see and only visible on white/clear colors uniform backgrounds, but according to what I'm seeing it's a common issue, not a problem of a single faulty unit.
Got a blue/whiteisch pixel to the top right of my screen
They said i need to have more then 3 to get a new phone :/`
Can i fix this ?

I have the problem too. I called technical team dept from where i bought the phone, and they asked me to do a screen test over the phone. I tap the screen it shows all white, tap again red, green etc etc. He asked me if i could see a yellowish tinge running across the bottom of the display when these colours appeared on the display which i couldn't to be honest. I took it back to the shop, and i dont know if it has to do with the bright lighting within the store, but it didn't show up hardly at all, barely noticeable. It seems less noticeable in a well lit environment, or outside as opposed to when i am at home where it i notice it more. It is midly annoying, but this shouldn't be the case.
Can anyone throw any light as to what this could be??
Thanks

I believe that yellowish tint has something to do with warmth from the screen or the battery or the screen staying on for a longer time or something or something.
because when I'm using it alot, playing games, browsing, whatsapp etc etc. for like an hour. It gets more visible.
And then it's from "barely noticeable" to "hard to miss"
I can clearly see it on Grey (notification slide down) or Blue (startscreen DrawSomething) or White.

Same here. Interesting what you say. I would still like to know where the consumer stands on this issue, and if Sony themselves would recogonise if this is a somehow a fault with the display. My Arc had no such problems.
Hi guys,
I'm new here, but I was reading the threads on the S from the start.
Reading through the screen problems I was thinking about the following:
The Xperia S's screen is glued- as I know -, like for example the iPhone4/4s'. Some i4 users noticed this yellowish tint as well, and they've came to a conclusion it was because of the glue what was used to put the screens together and it disappeared after about 1,5-2 weeks.
This could explain the reaction to temperature differences too.
Hey,
I was watching the videos and the hands-on pictures of galaxy s3 and i noticed that there's an ugly gap between the screen and the bezel and its really bothering me, especially on the white version of the phone. Can anyone tell me why is it that way? I tried searching for the answer but couldn't find any so i decided to ask it here.
Thanks for the replies in advance.
I thing every phone has this black gap
not as much as s3
I too noticed the gap and it is much more visible in white sgs3 than blue. lets see what the s3 users say
It's there, but I don't even notice unless I focus on it. The screen is way to good to focus on a small black gap.

Literally didn't notice it until you pointed it out. I have the white and its fine. Probably less noticeable on the blue.

I noticed the gaps on my first S3, i went for a replacement this morning because of very obvious spots on my display under black background. Suprisingly, the new unit does not have gaps between the bezel and screen. It fits nicely.
I hade this gap too, should i return it ? I have a smaller One side of the bigger that are under the home button
I had this gap on my White S3, its like screen was coming off and i can see small amount of glu coming out of it.
i went back to shop and exchange with new one which is fine no issues now.
I too never noticed the gap until this thread...not an issue IMO (I have a white S3)
Sorry to revive this thread but I also have this under my home button (though not nearly as bad as mani79 had). I just see a small "ridge" between the screen and plastic bezel.
The display model at my local AT&T store has it as well.
in having a look at my white s3, i dont have any issues whatso ever, not even a small amount of lifting or seperation. Must just be luck of the draw
Notice the ridge between the chrome and glass in this stock photo? That's what I'm talking about. That little ridge.
just check, mine looks ok
I have the pebble blue version and a small gap on the bottom - it isnt noticeable though but I will keep an eye on it as I wont be happy if it starts filling up with dust and becomes unsightly.
This phone has a gap similar but slightly worse than mine. Notice the gap on the right and bottom of the screen.
Anyone noticed gaps between the metal edge and the screen on the alpha? Seems like people have only reported this problem on the note 4. Mine has very noticeable gap at the top left corner, and lower right corner as well.
Sure it doesn't affect its functionality, but it kinda annoys me that there is shis asymmetrical gap on such a beatiful design. Seems to me like yet another quality control fail.
Do you guys have this kind of gap?

No, not at all, even though I have a black version I cant seem to find it. Although it've had some burn-ins on the display itself when I bought the phone and I'm looking forward to getting a new one through warranty if possible.

Same location as mine? I guess this would be a common problem on the ATT version then. Mine is ATT too. And there is also a gap on the lower right corner. It almost feels like the screen pannel is put into the metal frame at an angle rather than straght.

I also see a very very very small gap on the top left (a few microns?) this might be on purpose to relieve the forces on the screen should the aluminium shrink due to temperature.

This "problem" was mentioned for Note 4 series also, so samsung said that is some kind of protection if your phone hit on the ground... I think it is just an excuse and a smal build problem

Envoyé depuis mon SM-G850F
850M Factory Unlocked Black - no gaps.
Checking out a few S6 versions- great Camera of course and louder speaker - but from the front I think Alpha and Note 4 are nicer looking.
I love how when you make a Call then hit Home button the Call shrinks to this mini window while you go Online or to another App- perfect multitasking-
One of the main things I will miss if I go to S6.
Touchwiz is more scaled back on my Alpha than S6....
S6 seems a bit more scatterbrained- lol although it can be fixed and customized.
I would also miss the beauty and size of Alpha-
Bet the Scuba Blue Alpha looks really cool- those were very hard to get.
Nope, European 850F model, and no gaps.
I'm not even seeing it in your photo. Perhaps I'm looking at the wrong thing? Draw a red circle around an example?
Hey guys,
purchased an S6 Edge (SAMG925, european/international model) yesteday and I was surprised to find something I can only describe as a dotted pattern inside the screen. At first I thought maybe it had something to do with the screen/glass technology, but the more I think about it, the less sense it makes. I can only see it on bright backgrounds, for example while surfing or at the standard, green/blue background. It looks like three really, really small dots running diagonally up to the right. These three dots are all over the screen and it looks like they're almost forming a pattern. I literally have them everywhere, but make no mistake, this isn't scratches or just some random defect with the screen. It looks like they're meant to be there. I double checked with a display model in the store I bought it in and that one had the same "issue". I can only see these dots if I look put the phone up really close to my eyes and if I actually look for them. I've asked two others of my friends and both of them could see them easily after looking for a couple of seconds. Now, daily, this isn't an issue, but I was considering picking up the Gear VR for the S6 and I cannot imagine it WON'T pose a problem once you get up close with the lenses the Gear VR provides.
Anyway, question time: Are there anyone out there that has noticed the same thing? Or are your S6 Edge display flawless and free from a 3-dot pattern? :/
Capactive sensors more than likely for the touchscreen.
Post a picture, please.
I tried getting a photo of it, but I wasn't too successful. Got one that works, I guess. It appears to be sort of a surface-problem. It looks like grease, or even dust, but I know for certain that it isn't. I took a picture of my phone while reading my own post. If you look above the "d", you should see the first anamoly on the screen, then three more in a diagonal line. There's also a dot over the last y in yesterday, but that one is more unclear and harder to see. :/ Hope I'm not seeing things here and that someone else can confirm it looks weird. I cleaned my screen before taking this picture, btw.
I know what you are describing, mine is the same. It is so uniform in pattern that it has to be something to do with the gorilla glass or the touchscreen itself.
Mine had the same issue. But after 3 days they are no longer noticeables. Give them a few days and check again
My s6 edge is waay dimmer than my note 4 normal?
Same Issue
I picked up the s6 edge on the 10th and am noticing that same problem 4 days later for a premium smart phone that boasts it's screen being one of the best around, this is kind of annoying to see this issue.

Yes, I had this concern as well. As another user in another thread mentioned that the S6 on high goes up to roughly 450 nits, but in outdoors or in direct sunlight can go up to a crazy 750 nits which is much brighter than the Note 4. I have the Note4 and S6E. I put a flashlight to the front sensors on the Edge and that think got extremely bright, almost made my note 4 (on manual high) seem like it was on medium in comparison lol. It sucked at first, but then I realized when am I ever going to need it that bright indoors, and if i'm outdoors it will automatically kick it up to eye scorching bright!
I'm hoping mine does also. I love the device but having that surprise was kind offsetting.

Same here but mine is more like cloudiness or under-screen scratches, not dots. I noticed while scrolling on white backgrounds in any app.
The streaks are just the camera lens taking in light. Look closely at the center of each pic and above the word "UPDATE" in the Google News page.
I have the same problem dotted pattern inside the screen, i had to replace the s6 edge 3 times and they all have the same f**** problem.

I've given up on the issue as every s6 edge ive seen is like this. Even after having the phone since launch the issue hasn't gone away. I think it is caused by the digitizer having to use a different method because traditional ones do not work on curved screens? Haven't got a chance to compair to a note edfe but I wonder if it had the same issue.
Is this one of those things that can only be seen if it's pointed out and then it can be unseen?
My screen looks flawless...
So after reading posts about a pink tint to the screen, i decided to put it next to my girlfriends white s6. Wish i hadnt. Her s6 is CONSIDERABLY more bright than mine with a white screen. Didnt notice much of a pink tint, even though i believe its faintly there. More worried about the brightness level.
I made sure everything was the same. Same screen mode, same brightness level, same picture. Hers was much brighter and much more white than mine. Will take some side by side pics when i get home. Really dissapointed actually... Thinking about going with a regular s6 if i can switch it out.. Just to many problems plagueing the edge.
Anyone else notice the same thing?
Yes this is a problem. Both Edges we had were returned for that issue. They were also darker than the regular S6.

im not super worried about the pink tint, as many galaxy phones have had this issue and is later not as noticable, but the darker, less bright-screen would diminish image quality IMO.
What did you do? get them exchanged and next ones were better? Did u just get regular s6?

This was known some time ago. You should read AnandTech reviews at least before you purchase a phone. S6 will always be more bright than the edge.
Try putting a flashlight on the light sensor with auto bright off and brightness turned all the way up. Watch how bright and vibrant the screen gets. It is a programming error. We traded to regular S6s. I noticed my S6 screen also had a very dull screen. Returned it for an M9.

you mentioned two s6's. Was only one of the screens dull? Was the other one flawless? Opinion of m9 vs s6?
so the darker screen on the s6e compared to my girlfriends s6 is just a software brightness bug? i can live with this.. My screen isnt super pink either... If my screen is just as bright as my girlfriends, then ill stick it out for a software update.
My wife is fine with her screen. It seems better than my returned S6. The M9 feels better in hand to me. Speakers are not as loud but sound way better on the M9. The colors on the screen of the M9 are not as vibrant as the S6. Whites are better though. No stutters or issues besides that in my M9. I've yet to feel it get any hotter than the S6.

I actually read my first AnandTech phone review because of this comment. I've been using the site mainly for computer parts comparisons and reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised by just how detailed their phone review was. Thanks for posting!:good:
Also, however, to respond the forum OP's question, OP should definitely check if the auto brightness setting is enabled. With it on, max brightness goes way up, while with it off, the regular max brightness is relatively darker.

Edge is way brighter according to this LUX test, maybe you got a defective unit
okay been doing alot of reading. There seems to be a defect in the edge model, just about all of them. With auto brightness off (meaning the phone has no control over brightness of the screen), in a dim room with brightness bar cranked up, the screen will dim. When i did this test, my room was dimly lit. Will do some more tests later when iget home.
http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...-auto-brightness-issues-strange-glitch-5.html
okay, so heres a video i took to demonstrate the issue.
its a big difference in my Nexus 6 vs the Edge. The Nexus is MUCH brighter.
I bought today S6 Edge and that was for me quite a disappointment.
But when you put a flashlight to a light sensor (or whatever it calls), you can see that S6 Edge has two more modes-both brighter. The first brighter mode is bright like S6 and the second one like S6 under the flashlight (or sunlight). That shows that the screens are same and that the problem is software. I cant wait to see, whether they solve this with the next update.

Same thing here. Samsung is still not solving the issue and it is aware since more than a month! How difficult is to be solved? I'm not sure they will ever solve it at this point.
Guess this is affecting only the carrier variants. Mines a international GSM g925i and I am in a dark room typing this with auto brightness turned off and brightness at 40pc or so..the screen is damn bright and it has remained this way without dimming.. So not a issue here. Also I think the brightness at 40pc is killing my eye right now..so its quite good. May be a feature requested by the carriers who knows...
No it's affecting the no brands also. Mine was no brand bought on the web store, in NL.
