Anyone else notice blacks don't blend properly? I first noticed it with the gradient in the infinity wallpaper. It persists in movies too. The blacks don't blend and look pixelated. I've contacted Samsung support by email.View attachment 4451283

I saw same issue with my s9+ us unlocked. Its totally unacceptable....
Saw a thread on Android Central with quite a few people commenting about it (not sure if I'm allowed to link to a separate forum).

What resolution are you running at? I changed from the default to max resolution and no issues here.
Are you running at the lower resolution? If so, that may be why. Displays never look good at anything other then their default resolution, in this case WQHD+. That would explain the gradient issues you are seeing.
I have watched several videos on mine so far, and blacks, etc look great. No gradient or banding issues.
In fact, this display is much better than my Note 8. The color is more accurate, and there is no pink tinge at the top and bottom edges. There is also far less color shift when viewing at an angle.
Full resolution. WQHD+.

PM please. I'd like to check that discussion out to.

So today then...
Went down to my local Samsung Experience store, everything went fine in there. The rep took my phone out back and came back acknowledging a fault. She then explained that as its the S9+ Hybrid, they can't exchange in store. This can only be done by contacting customer services. The rep plugged the phone in to their system, ran diagnostics and created a support ticket for me to reference when calling.
So I dialled the UK based customer services. Explained the whole thing to them. They had issues pulling up the support ticket however took my details and went through the process, had been on the phone a good 20 minutes now already. The guy then told me I had to be put through to the online shop which is based in Manilla. Took about 5 minutes to get put through. The line was terrible, and it was a struggle communicating. Had to go through the whole lot again, another 15-20 minutes to be then told I had to be put through to their technical support! So I get put on hold and then...
*hung up tone* line went silent.
I was fuming. So had to start over. Back on to the UK number, quickly rushed through the whole thing again. She said that she would speak to Manilla herself first to explain, as for an exchange, I shouldn't be getting put through to technical support. Another 5 minutes of waiting for Manilla to pick up and I'm through again. Once again, rattled through the whole issue. End result:
I have to send back my device, which can take 3-5 working days to arrive. They then have to assess the device which will take another 3-5 days before they will send out the replacement.
I was not happy about this, as I've sent my old phone off to them as part of the pre-order deal already and I'll be without a phone for the duration. I also questioned why it has to be assessed when it's already been assessed in store. She just kept repeating the "procedure" over and over. I was getting frustrated and asked to speak to a manager as I felt that it was poor customer service. A manager came on but he repeated the same. They couldn't even explain to me, why I couldn't walk in to a Samsung store and get an exchange there and then. There was zero sympathy for a customer who'd spent nearly a grand on a phone, been a Samsung customer for years.
I've little choice now. I'm just annoyed that a huge company like Samsung won't go that extra mile for a customer. My phone is my business phone as well, I can't afford to be without it for up to 14 days. Spent over an hour on call to them as well. For a simple exchange. One whole hour for them to say, "stick the return label on, take it to DPD, we'll send you a replacement in 14 days".
Have been discussing this on Android Central as well,where there is a longer discussion with a lot of people experiencing the same issue. Whats irritated me is that one person there spoke to Samsung today and they're sending him out a replacement BEFORE he has to send his faulty one back. How is it different for two customers, yet same problem!?

This problem is called "Black Crush", and was one of the many problems I experienced with my Pixel 2 XL.
It can be fixed through software updates, and the problem is only visible at low brightness, and that's why most of the people haven't noticed it.
I will put this video for you, is about the Pixel 2 XL, but is about the same problem and also they suggest an app to minimize the issue:

I wouldn't bother. I can almost guarentee your new phone is going to come back and do the same, it's an issue that came about in Android 8.0. My Nexus 6P did the same after that update.

Thanks for this. Probably the most useful information I've found on the subject. The app is a good temporary fix until Samsung get an update out. The difference is immediarely noticeable.

I'm glad it helped, honestly, is just a matter of time for Samsung to fix this, because in theory it should be really easy to patch.
I have the same issue (S9+ Single SIM) and actually created another thread about this a week ago.
For people saying it's an Oreo problem, well my S8 got the official Oreo update and still doesn't have this issue.

Actually here in Dubai, the dual sim variant cost me around $950 thats for the 64gb, and this issue is so visible that i cant watch any movie with dark scenes.
I hate replacements as its not guaranteed to get a better display, and apart from this issue i really like the phone, so im really frustrated and dont know what to do but wait for a fix.

As I pointed out, you can install the app recommended in the video and try to improve it for yourself. A replacement won't do anything because is a matter of calibration, not the display itself.

[/QUOTE]
I did try the app, it kind of solves the issue at the expense of contrast, better than nothing i guess. Lets wait and see what samy does.
Its kind of weird though, because otherwise the screen is flawless in my unit atleast, for the first time i got an Amoled screen with perfect white balance uniformity.
I think I have this issue as well. Last night while in bed I was watching a TV review on rtings and noticed what I thought was extreme video compression in one of their YouTube videos showing a test pattern. But then I looked at other images on the page and saw similar artifacting, compression or banding. This is very noticeable at low brightness. Even my gradient wallpaper from Samsung themes is showing tons of pixelation when transitioning to black toward the top at brightness below 40% or so. Do you guys see issues with these links below?
https://youtu.be/wg1tWXtH1zg (lots of smearing and compression here, looks horrible)
http://i.rtings.com/images/reviews/tv/sony/x900f/x900f-uniformity-local-dimming-large.jpg (I see a gray blob instead of a faint glow around the pattern)
My S7 edge never did this in over 2 years. It had a great display. I am not sure if my S9+ display is defective or if this a software issue. It seems like software but I am going to head to best buy and see if I can replicate it on another device. I am bummed I traded in my S7 and now can never get it back if this is a dealbreaker.
Is this the same issue you are experiencing?

This is a calibration issue, and I'm sure it will be addressed soon because many people are presenting this issue, and with many units I mean most of them.
Is only noticeable in low brightness as you pointed out, and that's why many people don't even know they have it.
I leave an image here taken from Android Central forum:
S9+ in top, S8+ in bottom.
:highfive:
Interesting. I just tested my S9+ alongside my coworker's S9 regular and his doesn't do this at all. Gradients and blends show up great with no crushing even at low brightness. Could this be isolated to this larger panel? I'm going to head to Best Buy today and see if I can replicate on their S9+.

Wednesday 10.19 - OS Tour, Performance
Alright, i have my Titan X310E, first come from England right here on U.S . Many people here still questioning about it , so i decided to be the tester for any questions that you guys may have with Titan.
Monday (10.17)
I was in terrible sick , but the Titan came from USPS Express made me really pleased. The box look like other HTCs at Europe... Nothing much could be tell from outside.

I opened the box and pull out this beautiful device, once again, i have the happy feeling when i first have my HD7.
My First Impression? This thing is just bigger than my Schubert and that is all i care. Bigger screen, bigger phone, still thin, sexy and yes, metal cover.
I went through the first set up for the phone, it is kinda lame when i have to set the Time Zone manually, while my HD7 can set it automatically everytime i install a new ROM or reset my phone. Maybe it can be done only if i am in England, where you have only one time zone...
Okay, that was quick,and yes, the screen, is nice. I can even see it way better than my HD7, even the seller has already put a crappy screen protector from the ipad over it (he cut the screen protector to be fit). Low DPI? I think you have an eagle eyes to see those stuffs. And yes, this thing has the front-facing Camera, 1.3mp, equal to my old Nokia 5310. But you have nothing to use it except you gonna post pictures of yourself in the bathroom on Facebook tomorrow with terrible quality.
We do have a small button on the bottom of the phone to open the back case, and yes it is a brilliant idea , just 2 piece of metal for the whole phone. I am impressed.
How is it feel in your hand? I am a "big-phone" user, i had HD2 before, i had HD7 Before, i played with Dell Streak for a little bit, so this baby right here isn't a big problem with me. But it could be problem with people who have small hand ( i considered myself to have a medium-size hand). No , you are not gonna buy this for your girlfriend.
The Phone is thin, and it is sexy. HTC always does a good job in making a sexy look for their phone. It definitely feel comfortable in your hand, i don't doubt that. The Micro-USB port is on the left side of the phone, which is the sign of "up-coming" Dock for Titan from HTC. The Button has more "feeling" than the HD7, it is plastic, but has decent feel when you press it.
This phone isn't released in States yet, so mine right here is the UK version, which is considered as World Phone, the frequency they use is different with T-Mobile USA , so you are not gonna have 3G for this on T-Mobile. I will swap to AT&T in the few days and tell you guys more about it.
HSPA/WCDMA 850/900/2100Mhz (AT&T should be able to Provide this thing 3G or i will sell it and get an AT&T version later)
GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900Mhz)
Well, i was impressed by this bought except the non-3g frequency for T-Mobile. I am still using it today , so you guys will have the post of my experience tonight.
Thank you for your nice review
What about the screen quality ? (not the dpi but the glass quality ?)

I would say it is good. Not the best but it is good-perfect.
It is Gorilla Glass.
Tuesday (10.18)
Alright, i was sick yesterday so i can't really go over the OS of the Titan. We both know Titan use Mango 7.10.7720, which is RTM, quite familar with XDA People in this Windows Phone Subforum. The Titan also come with Second generation Snapdragon Qualcomm 1.5ghz CPU, a flash internal memory (16GB) from Samsung, not a high-speed microsd card anymore. I would say there is a significant jump for Titan in performance.
I tried out Fruit Ninja on Titan. And i must say, the performance is way different from HD7. When you hit the Frenzy banana and start to make 7,8,9 Combos , it is just all smooth, when you can see notice-able lag on HD7.
Or you can also compare the heavy game monopoly, where the frame rate can be seen much higher in Titan, compare to HD7.
Titan Rank #2 in Performance Chart (Following WP Bench Chart). But i will say to you guys one thing, i have seen lag on Titan. Review on several website can say it doesn't have lag at all, which is wrong, you can see the choppy performance sometime when using, but it could be the first built of Titan OS, which is not fully optimized for Titan yet, we will wait and see, i have several fun stuffs for you to know about the mango on titan later in this post.
The Back Cover may be hard to remove for new people. But all you need to do is press the button on the bottom of phone and slide the phone out.
The Back cover is claimed to be 100% Aluminum, and of course, it light. Not too heavy compare to the HD7.
Titan is definitely Longer than the HD7, but in fact, it is thinner than HD7, you can see it when trying to compare the 2 line by line, or just your feeling when holding 2 devices in the hands.
And one thing, you will not get the Kickstand on Titan, which is useful when watching video.
Camera, which is nice, i don't have much time to test it, but it is good in my opinion, the picture come out in good quality. 8MP seem to be good, and i am not a person who concen much about the quality of the picture.
Here is an example of the Titan's picture
The sound quality of Titan is very nice. The volume is also good, i rate it as 8.5/10 for loudness, you can turn the volume up to 10-14/30 and you have the loudness of HD7 on 30/30
Video Playback Quality on Titan is also great, from 720p Call of Duty Trailer to Full HD 1080p Mike Posner Music Video, titan handle it all. With a good headphone, you might want to check out thr SRS Lab 5.1 Surround when you play Video on Titan.
The 4.7 inch Screen is really great regarding the limit in Resolution. it also make the keyboard bigger and easier to type. Here is the picture compare the screen of Titan and HD7, also the size of the keyboard.
By the end of the day, i found out something sound stupid to me and maybe for American user also. This device is from UK, so, i think Microsoft put a different version of Microsoft Tellme in it, or this phone OS version/firmware is just retarded enough to not recognize my voice of command.
Sorry, because i am not American, my English is not that perfect, but when my old T-Mobile USA HD7 can understand my foreigner voice and do exactly what i want, there isn't a point that the Titan can't.
Here is the video i recorded:
http://youtu.be/ZdKlkckr73M
(maybe you will have a good laugh because of my english, lol)
When i tried to tell Titan to open an application (not a built-in Apps) like HTC Hub, it is nearly impossible for the phone to recognize it, and it just keep saying that it didn't catch that or i don't have the application installed on it. and it is more stupid, when i speak to both HD7 and Titan, the HD7 does recognize, but not the Titan. I am not sure this is Software-Related issue or Hardware-Related Issue, or my English is just retarded somehow. LOL.
But when i tried to talk to the phone to text some one or open basic apps, it does its job really good.I am not sure what is the problem here but i will need several other US Customer who have the UK version to confirm this with me. the version of UK also have a different respond sound with US version.
And yes, i even found out, that there is no Turn-By-Turn Voice Navigation for me here, the Unites States of America, where my HD7 can talk whole day and take me go around St.Pete. I tried to tap the screen several times and nothing happen. I also mailed HTC Technical Support and post on Windows Phone forum about this issue.
The Phone comes with the standard HTC headphone , which is hated by people
That is end for my Tuesday Experience, tomorrow, there will be test on Battery Useagle and jean, pocket friendly...

Very good news, I impatiently wait the mine
Thanks for providing this review, it is sounding like a really good device so far.
I am really eager to get hold of one of these
really nice! Has the Titan more option and functions in the photo settings menu?
Okay, wednesday.
I went out with 70% of battery and returned with 30%, from 7AM to 3PM, light use, Wifi On, Games for 30 mins, 45 mins on IE, medium light, using XDA apps for about 20 mins and whole bunch of other stuffs.
I think this battery really impressed me. With my HD7 Full charge, i can easily get lower than 20% with light use in day. So yes, Battery performance is good. You can get it full charge by the morning and have it through day 2 night (light use).
Pocket: I wear jeans almost everyday, so, the HD7 fit my pocket nicely, also the Titan. I feel like almost no different between stucking HD7 or Titan in my pocket. They are both hard to pull out when you sit, especially in the car with the seat belt on. Which is common issue of big phone.
Also visit AT&T Store today to ask about 3G Frequency, and they seem to be very strange with the Titan, they don't even know the plan of AT&T on Titan. They seem to know nothing about the Frequency compatibility of the phone. They just give me the answer that my Titan will not get 3G on AT&T, while this phone support 850mhz on HSPA, which is the standard of AT&T 3G Frequency at United States. I am not really happy with the low-tech and useless advise from the "technican" at AT&T store. I will take an AT&T Simcard from Somebody tomorrow and take a test if it can receive 3G Signal.
I returned home and decide to try the Voice Command to open stuffs on HD7 and Titan again, and this time, i had a score of 8-1 to HD7, i tried my best in English pronunciation, but only HD7 did recognize my voice, not the Titan.
HTC Support is trying to tell me to softreset the Phone, and Reset back to Factory Setting, which i have done several times already. Maybe my voice is retarded so the phone can't recognize it. I will sell it to XDA-Member here or Ebay after the review, who ever come first. So if you are interested, just PM me.
I have the new video are being uploaded now.
Tomorrow will be the request of you guys. And i decide not to use it full week, so you guys who will buy it will have a fresh device.

Did you change the region?
Did you change the region. I believe the speech recognition engine that is being used processes the language differently based on region. The british accent probably requires different voice patterns to process. I noticed in your youtube video that the Titans speech replies have a british accent. So I assume the speech recognition is also using british speech patterns.
I googled this question and found something similiar that seems to match my same thoughts on the issue. Unfortunately, I don't think it solved the problem.

HTC Titan on Amazon
I just bought an unlocked HTC Titan from Amazon today (from 3rd party company Expansys).
http://www.expansys-usa.com/htc-titan-windows-phone-7-5-smartphone-unlocked-black-221944/
I'm assuming that it's compatible with AT&Ts 3G network, but after reading your post today, I'm a little worried. The specs show that it supports the same 3G bands as AT&T, so I'm hopeful that you are able to get the 3G bands working tomorrow when you try the AT&T sim card.
Please update us tomorrow. I'm very interested to find out. Thanks for your great week long review!

according to 2 "high-level" guy at XDA (drkfngthdragnlrd and prjkthack, our Titan will be able to get 3G on AT&T, since the phone does support HSPA/WCDMA 850mhz Frequency, which is match with AT&T Standard 3G Frequency.

I strongly believe that the Titan will get the 3G on AT&T. I will keep you guys posted about my experience.
I also found out the phone you buy on Amazon , which cost $700 if i am not wrong. But oh well, good luck if you have the UK version , which you can talk English to, have no idea if you have the German version or something like that, LOL.
It propably won't be long before there will be a USA version of an XDA ROM that you can flash. So maybe soon, your phone will recognize you again.

Well, Microsoft tellme is a nice feature to have, i don't really use it like really often. , because i know i am foreigner, and my English skill is not good, so, sometime, you mean to talk in the good way, but the phone understand it in bad way...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=RiU8GPlsZqE
Look at that video, you probably laugh you ass off , but that is common issue of foreigner like me, but i am so happy that my english skill is not that extremely terrible like the guy in the video.
But it is useful to hear and reply the messege without taking the phone out.
and yes, i also hope XDA can have a custom rom, or someway to install the US ROM version, and get update through Zune for it. The Goldcard Technique is no longer useable on Titan when it has no MicroSD card.

No my friend, the 1600mah Battery give you a full day of hard playing with Titan, which is far better than HD7's 1230mah one.

my HD7 also gives me a full day with 20% left by night
Light moderate usage
We need more details ..because 1600 mah sounds good
but that large screen size/type may offset any gains in battery life
TItan is using SLCD, of TFT LCD?
SLCD and it seems like a much better SLCD than that found on Sensation.

The screen is fabulous and is a very high quality SLCD panel.
For me, the battery life is close to double my HD7. Partly because its a new battery, but it is fantastic. This is my first smartphone (and I have had a few) that gets close to lasting a second day let alone gets into a second day!

ok...thanks for the info
First of all excuse me if this thread annoys you, or irritates you. I have problems with galaxy s2. Yes it's a plural. Purchased it on contract with 3 UK on the 29 November, 2Weeks after I noticed the black blotches, got into forums search and realised I have the yellow tint too. But freaky what bothered me was the black spot like a fingerprint size, and linear patterns, the blotch was too big, so I went for exchange, unlucky the customer service girl and boy couldn't help me, pretty lame telling me that only the employee which did the contract would help, anyway I wasn't sure about the 28 days return policy, because is not stated anteater and I left. But calling the customer support on phone I found out that I could change, so did that yesterday, didn't felt to odd exfoliating them to go in the dark room etc, because the player was ok and trusted me, oh and of course said that I am the first....right...took the phone tried it asap it had less blotches more like lines,definitely better. Tested the yellow tint was there, more, after reboot it got less not a deal breaker anyway. But here we are, 2 more problems, blue tint on tilting the phone which I didn't had with the firate one, I can actually see too much coating there in some low light conditions, creating a rainbow kinda thing, since I know that my other one wasn't like this is a deal breaker. And added to that pink spot that I didn't have. White galaxy made by Samsung and battery in China. Didn't update firmware yet to 2.3.5. The problem is the seller told me that I ran out if my 28 days and if I encounter other problems they should send it with warranty. How does those 28 days count? Because I started from 29 so today should be the 28 day inclusive. I want to exchange it again, I can't think that I can get worse than this. What do you think?
....ok so it looks like I bite the bullet, no exchange for me, don't know if I could find a perfect one anyway. So I have two options, selling it and then buying another one from the new users market, but what about the warranty? And sending it to warranty....which will take long..and I don't know if it will change something. Did somebody out here send his phone to service for, blue tint, pink camera spot? Never mind the blotches and yellow tint, they will be always there

warranty mate, they could help you :/
Depends upon what country purchased in .
twelve months warranty by the retailer with the warranty from Samsung covering the first two years .
Most retailers only allow 28 days for return that is their policy not the law .
You are essentially claimed that there are a number of faults that makes your phone not fit for purpose .
You can try arguing the point with them or have the phone sent for repair or they may exchange for a reconditioned unit .
An update to 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 may fix some of your problems .

I bought mine from O2 Germany and had the same problems like you. Brighter and darker spots and a yellowish left side.
I had it exchanged and got the same phone with another display. It got better but was still not perfect. I had it exchanged yet another time and got a perfect one after 3 weeks of waiting.
May I ask you where your phone comes from? You can see it under your battery. It's printed on your phone there.

Thanks for answers, yes I have 24 months warranty from Samsung but in UK 3 has it's own service centre. I am very pessimistic because I have to leave the phone in store, after that it will be collected by the service techs , and I won't be sure that they see the problem, diagnosis. The phone is from UK , network 3 mobile. I think they have a pretty ugly batch, my first and this one have made by Samsung under the battery so....? I hate that Samsung hides the country of manufacturing. the employee who changed my phone told me I was the first one, I said to him that I am pretty sure I am not the only one, said to him something about India, where more phones had this problem, and he was Indian too, he said that Indian people are picky, they search the problems. I am not picky, first saw that blotches while using data tragic app, and after a movie, after 2 Weeks. Yellow tint? Saw it after googling, blue tint, on my second because my first didn't have it, camera? on first didn't notice, but looking back I don't think I took pictures of a plain paper or white wall, still I think it didn't have this. Updated via phone to 2.3.5. The yellow tint became darker red and moved from left to right, now I have only a quarter of the right part ok, it is ok. It is like a yoyo when you find another problem the previous one seems acceptable. But pinkish on camera? I've seen that on a 2003 Nokia 7900 with led display. I think in Samsung world super smiled plus means unique amoled plus. Will try to make a decision about it. Sure I want it, I can't think of any other phone that is better than this, I like alienation xl and nexus but I never tried them.

Well I don't know if the situation has changed, but when I bought mine, it was known that the Viatnamese versions had low quality displays. I had one.

That one I wouldn't know, but is possible, either China or Vietnam. I am cross, that pink stain appears even outside wile focusing on the gravel . This is unacceptable. Why can't they do a proper phone? Samsung thinks only about money
I ended up talking to a phone tester that works for LG here in San Diego. She's from South Korea, she deals directly with corporate in Seoul and translates for them. I told her my V10 is a glitchy freakhouse and that it was all her fault.
She said they know that a certain percentage of the phones are defective with overheating, GPS failure and other issues. She didnt tell me what percentage though so not sure how wide reaching this is. I realize that missing fact makes this a little less valuable info but I thought it was interesting enough to share.
No product is perfect. I've dodge most of the issues I see here in the forum, only heating issue I had was trying the set up a email with Exchange server.
Like you said a number would be interesting. Did she indicate it was a hardware or software issue?

She didnt and wouldnt know and I'll tell you why. She explained their process. The testers just sit in an office and play with the phones, they dont use them in their daily lives. Then they send all issues to LG R&D who are supposed to diagnose and fix the issues.
Maybe they have other people doing more in-depth desting, I dont know but she is a contract employee of LG.

Yup, I agree. I'm going to return the one I have today or tomorrow. I want this phone to work so bad. I might try a new one, one more time.
Yea, not sure if its true but I have read in many forums how phones don't work properly out of the box and most were fixed by doing a reset on the phone. The first V10 I had was great except for WiFi. I get over 100 Mbps at home and every device gets the same speed. However, the V10 was reaching 10 Mbps...after the reset it worked great and speed was up. I did end up exchanging for a new one (just to make sure I had a good phone, why I got to do a reset to fix a new phone) and the new V10 is great, out of the box. I get GPS lock quick, great WiFi and no lag.

Since english is not my primary language I will do an extraordinary effort to do this...I've passed for 4 V10's already. I was waiting by 9.00am October the 30th to get this wonderful device LG announced that hit every single check mark that I always wanted in a smartphone. My first impressions should've sufficed cause the first one they brought was scratched out of the box, yes, the metal bands were scratched, so obviously I asked for another and that one was ok at least on he outside.
After less than a month I started to notice some weird behavior when displaying some content with the brightness maxed to 100%...dead pixels everywhere( I made a post). I exchanged that unit to and to make the story short I am with my 4th V10(counting the scratched one) and this one has "only" one dead pixel(or an array cause I don't think we can spot one pixel on this devices with our bare eyes) with no other issues so am keeping it fighting my OCD every time I think about it. I don't want to call T-Mo again and put another exchange request cause I know it will come with dead pixels and/or other more problematic issues.
LG quality control is a joke, at this price point dead pixels policy should be 0.

SHAME ON YOU LG ???
I only see people complaining about phones bought from USA operators/stores, none bought on Amazon or other countries, I wonder

I suspect most of the "complaints" are propaganda from the competition
For complaints. Try a different brand if your not happy with LG. Make both you and LG happy, and move on.
I have had my V10 since December (from T-Mobile). Initially no problems to report, but the image retention issue has become progressively worse (as I type this, the image of this site is being temporarily "burned in"), and the GPS has only recently been failing to connect for navigation. my father also got a V10 the same day, but does not report these issues. User activity may be leading to a faster declining lifespan of phone, but both phones have had a drastic increase in overheating since receiving the Marshmallow update, which may be playing a role in the even greater descent into decomposition.
I've been a big fan of LG phones for years, but the V10 may not be able to keep up with the demand (I'm 19, so like most millennials, I use my phone constantly-possibly why I have this issue)
So my LG V10 has been perfect from day one. Now lets assume that every post on this thread is factual.
Then all we can do is say sorry it was you that got the bad phone, if you add all the posts here it's still less the half a percent bad phones, that's a pretty good number.
So out of the blue I've acquired a faint bar right down the middle of my entire screen. At first it was only on the always on display screen now it seem permanent on my main interface. Not to mention I'm getting extreme glitching when I scroll. Obviously I'm taking it down to Sprint but I'm pretty pissed off. I'm definitely not paying the deductible. I have never dropped it or anything. Not a good sign I may be returning it all together. I'm going to factory reset it but I've had issues like these before and it was always hardware ?

There is no warranty deductible. You are claiming insurance on the phone if you are paying a deductible.

Glad you got your issue fixed.
Consumer electronics like cell phones, toasters. DVD players etc. are at best manufactured to class 2 standards, which doesn't require 100% functional testing, and has(if I remember correctly) a 25% acceptability rate for failures. Defects looks yours are to be expected.

Red screen tint, WiFi issues, Random restarts. That's more than the G6 has shown regardless of sales. Those are things that should have been fixed pre-production or at the very least pre-sale. Especially considering Samsung's revenue stream. The random restarts haven't even been fixed yet ?

All overblown and only apparent because tech websites are looking for issues or for the next exploding battery problem. I guarantee any problems are within QC boundaries.

Pink/Red tint issue is real. I had bought newly manufactured S8 and S8+ (April production), still same problem. The software update made it worse. Low Wifi signal at 5GHZ is a problem still. The weak Wifi signal has been a problem since S4, S6, and now S8.
S8 has a weak speaker compared to S7. These are real problems that samsung will not fix. They haven't fixed Weak Wifi and network signal issue since S4 days.

Not talking crap, just pointing out something that people seem to not understand. There's always comments like this, about things that don't work right.
I'm not saying I would just carry on without complaint, but, as you have done, that complaint should be aimed at the manufacturer, or the store where you got it.
I was just wondering why, after you had only one defect, and had your issue resolved, was it necessary to create a new thread with negative remarks, giving prospective buyers a bad image of a decent device.
Maybe if more people understood the manufacturing process and quality requirements of consumer electronics, there would be less complaints. That's all I'm after.
Umm....
I haven't a clue what you're on about matey.

Well since you're the one who said "don't talk crap," I was obviously responding to you. I wasn't meaning you specifically have a G6, just was explaining how I wasn't talking crap by explaining what I originally said about having defects.

Hmmm....
Still don't make sense but OK
Can any one confirm if they are seeing a bleeding effect at the bottom of the phone lcd panel. Overall the lcd panel of this phone is really bad. Comparing it to my OP2 and the illumination of the panel is too low. Anybody else with the same issues? I have put up a pic of the issue. Updated images of comparison with OP2 (In each pic POCO F1 is the at the top and OP2 at the bottom.)
Update 10/09/2018
First up my apologies for being away for the past 3-4 days. I have been trying to solve the issues with the phone and then over the weekend was caught up in some personal stuff. I thought of updating my original post rather than putting up a new one as this whole thing has come to a conclusion for me. So just a small recap, I bought the phone on 29th AUG in the first flash sale. Received the phone on 31st AUG as soon as I started the phone I found the bottom chin had a weird illumination. After a few days as the issue persisted checked online and found that the LCD panel suffered from light bleeding issues. I just headed here and created this thread and put in a request on Flipkart for a replacement. After that here is what followed.
04.09.2018 - Return requested
05.09.2018 - Got a call from Flipkart that a Technician will visit to check the device and same will be completed by 08.09.2018
07.09.2018 - Technician visited my place and checked the phone, he accepted that there was an issue however he mentioned that it is difficult to observe and explain the issue to his seniors. He however took a pic of the problem so I was hopeful that a replacement would be provided.Late evening I got a SMS that tech visit was completed, I checked the Flipkart app and it said Replaced Rejected. WTF!!!! There was Return option so selected that and the reason I selected was quality issues with product. Was surprised to see that refund request was accepted and someone would pick the package the next day.
08.09.2018 - Courier guy came to pick the package. Since I have kept the back stickers with the bar code and stuff I had just everything back as I had received it. The courier dude was acting smart and since I had already left for work he tried bullying my Mom saying the phone is not working asking what the issue was, me Mum just asked him to shut up check the package had everything and take it like he is supposed to. After checking everything and making sure all accessories are there the courier person took the package. I got a message that package was picked and refund initiated and credit will show up in my account in 3 business days.
10.09.2018 - Credit received :victory:
Regarding the Issue
First - This is not a fatal issue and as far as I know LCD bleeding does not increase with time however this is a hardware issue so if you are holding on thinking some software update is going to fix this, then sorry you are wrong.
Second - I don't agree with the "you get what you pay for" argument simply because everyone is paying the same amount of money but having different experience (We can see from pics posted by users that for some the problem is obvious and for some it is minimal and hardly noticeable)
Third - If you have this issue and it doesn't bother you then I would say go ahead and enjoy the phone. If you noticed this after checking this thread then I am sorry
Fourth - I would strongly recommend that people buy this phone taking Replacement/Refund policies of the merchant that is selling the phone into consideration. Guys that have purchased this from Mi website directly and want a replacement are having a tough time and am not sure if Mi website even has a refund policy. For Indian users get this from Flipkart and not Mi website, for other countries make sure Replacement/Refunds are provided in case you want to avail the same.
Final Thoughts -
I though the POCO F1 had great potential to take over from OnePlus as a budget flagship alternative however they messed up. If the POCO team had spent a little more time and may be resources on QA ,Software optimization (bugs in MIUI, bad implementation of curved corners, multi touch issues, etc) and may be a better name {POCO I mean seriously!!! } this phone would have been a serious contender.
Conclusion
I would like to thank everybody that participated in this thread and responded with pics for a comparison. Since I don't have the phone anymore I don't think it would be right for me to post here anymore. I just put a new battery in my OP2 so going to wait for some time and see what the Pixel's gonna be like or the OP6T maybe.
Looks fine to me on my POCO F1.
Yes buddy, I have it too... I verified with 2 other poco f1's

Well that just sucks. When did you get the replacement? I raised a request on the 5th of Sept coz I felt maybe a diff lot may not have the issue. Its funny coz some units dont have this issue (like the one posted here). I guess its like 6 out of 10 are reporting this.

All the best for your refund mate hope they process it without hassels. The pblm with this issue is that some people just say it looks okay. Best way to reproduce is to open Chrome blank page and press and hold Power off button till the power off options come up and check the bottom if it shows a halo effect.
Let us know how the refund goes it should help others in making a decision. Curious thing is not a lot of people complaining about this like the boot loader issue.

From what I've seen people are using the navigation buttons and not full screen mode... because of that they are not able to notice it...
Will update here how the refund goes ?

I guess you are opening chrome in "Incognito" mode. The effect is visible on white backgrounds I guess if you just download a white image in full screen it should show up as well. Have no info on the service mode however some one having this issue posted on twitter regarding a display test you can do.

P.S. I went back to my old device so I havent tried the steps mentioned in the tweet.
could you please explain about the issue, i'm not understanding the problem... I mean I do see a bit white color in power options screen but I don't understand the issue with this.

Can any one confirm if they are seeing a bleeding effect at the bottom of the phone lcd panel. Overall the lcd panel of this phone is really bad. Comparing it to my OP2 and the illumination of the panel is too low. Anybody else with the same issues? I have put up a pic of the issue.

A bit of inconsistent brightness levels are expected with LCD panels however with the POCO F1 quite a few people are facing LCD bleed that is very notice able. If the inconsistency is minimal and some thing you can live with then its alright. For me it has been bothering me from day one as soon as I switched the phone on. I mainly use my phone for watching videos and the effect sometimes is more pronounced and that bothers me hence I have asked for a replacement.
