Hello
I bought my tab s7 plus 2 weeks ago, and today i noticed that my screen have some strange vertical banding? I can See it on grey background, for example in chrome. Is IT normal?
Normal as no screen is perfect. If you consider it acceptable or not is up to you.
Always check the screen of any device when you receive it. Also, use it for a few hours to let the screen settle just to make sure. If it bothers you, exchange it.
Keep in mind the bigger the screen, the higher chance for imperfections. That's why your phone, most likely, has a more uniform screen than your tablet.

I used to have this on my Tab S6 also. But it was only visible on gray backgrounds.

If this is a larger problem than my display and you hadn't noticed it before, I'm sorry, but does anyone else seem to have a white vertical line going down the left side of the screen, about 1/2 a cm from the left? Its pretty much invisible UNTIL you use something with a white/light background. I noticed on the Twitter app, and just want to find out if its just a general "thing" with the display or a fault just on mine, which I'll get replaced if thats the case.

Sounds like a faulty device, mines fine.
Mine had some weird lines over the screen that changed colour depending on what was being displayed, but they disappeared after a couple of days, when did you get the phone?

Yesterday afternoon. I'm going to give it till tomorrow afternoon to see what happens with it (Earliest I can get round to returning it anyway).
vertical white line
I have the same vertical white line, approximately 1.5cm from the left side of
the display. I have had my note for about 2 weeks now. The line is very thin and barely visible and I am not sure if it has been there from the beginning. It is only visible on white display(low brighness) and if you know where to look for it. My note is without the local warranty so all consequences have to be borne by me. Have you found if it is a defect or perhaps this is normal since it is barely visible?
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.

Mine has slowly gone away, or at least not as visible as it was at first.

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...
Hi guys,
I haven't really seen much feedback from others regarding this problem and I am quite surprised to be honest. I've ordered my s6 edge 2 weeks ago and have been using it for a week without noticing anything.
I've read through some article a few days ago before going to sleep and noticed a terrible pink hue in the bottom half of the screen. I didn't see the problem when I was using the phone in daylight and with the brightness quite high.
So I've ordered a replacement straight away, which came in yesterday.
The screen which I got on the replacement is completely pink, its even worse than the one I already had. Now I was wondering if I just got so unlucky, but I've had 2 friends at work compare their screens to mine (one of them have the regular s6, the other has an edge) and they the exact same issue as mee, although the pink hue is near the top in the s6.
This is a dealbreaker for a phone this expensive in my opinion... If you don't see it thats fine, but once you notice it it gets really annoying.
I've uploaded a short video with the first s6 edge I got, the replacement and my note 4 to show you the issue:
https://youtu.be/ob_5RjF4lPU
The note 4's screen is basically the same resolution and technology and its flawless. I don't know if this is some kind of manufacturing or quality control problem but I think samsung should sort it out.
The version I've got is the s6 edge gold platinum with 32 gb of memory. I would like you guys to take a lok at your screen and let me know if you got the same thing.
The best way to do so is to set it to a decent brightness level, screen mode to go for is "basic" and look at it in the dark, on a plain white background or with some text like I did.
Thanks for helping out!
Unfortunately I'll be returning both of these phones for now and I'll either wait for some later production or have a look at the note 5 or s6 edge plus...

Back when the phone was first released (April), there was plenty of discussion on this. It is a quality control issue.

Totally ?
Hello guys,
Yesterday, I wrote a review about my OPX, and I mentioned there that I noticed something about the screen. I would really like owners of OPX to help me out to figure out if it is a defect so I can return it back or a normal thing.
To reproduce the issue, simple call your network operator (so you don't spend money) as the call screen is devided into blue on the top and grey at the bottom. Now this thing happens mostly on dark solid colors like grey. Look at the grey area and see if you can notice like meshed vertical lines, I mean you might see that the grey is inconsistent, faded or darker grey areas.
I attached a photo taken from my nexus 5 to what I actually see on my OPX screen when I view a grey background. Please have a look and report back.
Thanks

Looks okay to me?
I can't see much
my Galaxy S6 had lines like that but apparently it was just because of it being Amoled
I just read on the oneplus forum that this could be due to the 8840K screen temperature, the normal should be around 6500K

Thanks for the reply. I will just wait for other owners to reply, this can narrow down the possibilities of my screen being defective.
Hello,
I have my Mate 10 Pro since one week and two days ago I used it at night and spotted that a little portion of the screen (at the right border of the screen) is much darker on gray color than the rest of the screen.
You can see it in the attached photos of my screen. It most visible in the Google Clock app where all the background is dark gray... It's not as visible as this when I use it in a more enlightened environment.
I think that the screen of my phone have an issue.
As it's a OLED display with no led back light there shouldn't be this kind of issues (it's like a clouding on the LED screens).

Exchange it
Will do ! I was just curious if I am the only one with this kind of issue. It's really strange.

I'm thinking about exchanging mine too. I also see uneven Grey's and whites
I think it is just that the app is showing not a flat background, but a background with gradient. It is more beautiful when app backgrounds are with gradient, than just flat. So with lowest lightning the contrast of different levels of intensity on the background are more easy to see.
It's not a software gradient, it's a screen flaw. It's called Mura effect. Affects mot OLED screens. Google Mura effect oled for more info. I was so sad when I first noticed it on my Galaxy Tab S 8.4 (changed it twice with no luck), and then on my Galaxy S5.
Now I'm going for IPS screens which imo still suffer from less flaws than OLED.

Anybody experience data problem when switching back from wifi mode?
Hello
I have the exact same issue and it's really bugging me...
I went and showed it to the Service Center and they accepted to exchange it for a new one. I'm waiting for the replacement in a couple of days...
I'm glad I wasn't the only one experiencing it!
Send it back and get a new one from Amazon. I saw this problem with the camera in white or clears walls. It seems "banding".
I acquired a second hand Mate 10 Pro 3 weeks ago (first owner bought it on the 24th of November), it already had burn-in zones: navigation dock button, Google Search, bottom system buttons bar and many other ones from various apps' icons... These zones are mostly noticeable on clear or white screen/pages (eg: about:blank URL in Chrome browser). At reception, I immediately selected a black theme and activated Battery's dark mode. Now I can see my own apps setup marking the screen... After only 3 weeks...
Am I the only one ?
I'm contacting Huawei customer service.
