So... I just noticed this odd hump on my N10,and was wondering if it's unique to mine (damage some how??) or a flaw? Or a design?
On the lower right corner while in landscape mode, where the glass meets the plastic, the plastic has a... Bump. A little ridge. It looks almost like the plastic got pushed into the glass... And bulged up a little. But the plastic is hard enough, I don't think a fall could've done it. And I haven't dropped it...
It looks like it happened while the plastic was being formed... Here's some pics. Anyone else have this mystery ridge?

Someone else has reported this in the past I believe; can't recall the exact thread though. Looked very similar.
Huh, I look couldn't find it. I'll keep my eyes open though. At least someone that's been around here longer than me remember something that might be somewhat related to this. Lol
Thanks!

that suck... return for exchange if you can.
i don't have it on mine though.
That really doesn't look right. Not only do you have a raised ridge that shouldn't be there, it looks like there's a noticeable gap between the speaker grill and the glass. On mine, there's no raised ridge, and the glass is flush to the surround all the way around the perimeter - no gap at all.

There is no gap... Just bad photography.
That's just my screen protector.
That's the thing... Everything is flush and tight... There's no wiggling, no creaking, no scratches even... Just an extra bump.

Ah. Good there's no gap. If it's solid in all other respects, I wouldn't worry.

That's what I did the other day used the edge of a paper to get it out
The dust won't get under the screen like with HTC devices since samsung fuses the glass to the screen and it comes as one unit.

Having suffered from the infamous dust issue with the Desire that's good to know.
actually...
dust does get under the screen, but not under the monitor part of the glass. i have little specs of dust filling the optical hole of the front facing camera. i'm gonna assume it got in there through the speaker. it really frustrates me and i may go and buy a dust blower to try to dislodge it. i've tried blowing in and all it does it fog up the lens. i dont use and dont plan to use the front facing camera, but it is pretty frustrating that there's dust in there.
have you guys notice small gap between the glass and the silver plastic rim around it,visible only on bright environment..
i've noticed this on the first day. My friend said he read something about this on other phones to. I'm guessing its because of it being glass. It is design to protect the screen so when you get a bump on side it will not break the gorilla glass. I think

Might be true, maybe its for design purposes, in mine its only noticeable on the top area, but when using the phone normally you will not notice it because of its black color..
It's generally used as a seal to keep dust from entering the phone.

Silver? Mine is smoked grey metal
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Yeah i just noticed it on mine. Wonder if we should be worried about the screen popping out of the frame or something. The gap is more prominent on the right side of the screen when looking at it. Top and bottom has no gaps. Hmmm...
Mine looks like it has an equal amount of gab and some dust that settled in.
its made like that. like what someone said above, its to protect the edges of the glass from shattering.
The glass on mine is a bit off centre, cant see it unless looking right at it in light.

I had the same glitches. Down and on the left side of the screen. Got the screen replaced by Samsung. The frame and the screen is stuck together from the factory. Now it sits really tight.

So is it a factory defect then? Unit seems to be working flawlessly though and no screen glitches
I noticed a tiny little gap on the bottom most part of my screen and the frame. It's not very visible, but it seems to be collecting a little bit of dust.
I never noticed it before reading this thread.
Honestly the S3 was so annoying with it's curved edges and trying to find a good screen protector with a good fit. I do not like wet application ones so I was stuck with dry apply ones that never covered the entire screen. So to anyone who may know are the edges of the screen curved?
they don't seem to be, from what I've seen. I've taken note of this too, i didn't care for the curved look. the s4 seems to be flat all the way across

Pretty much this.
On several hands on video you can see clearly that there's a metal trimming around the edges.

Yeah I saw that but the S3 also has a trim just not raised like that... And I haven't seen a picture with the perfect angle to say absolutely... Though now that I see Spigen has their Glas.T and Glas.TR posted im thinking that's a good sign

On my sample, there is a very small gap (few mico-meters) between the metal ring (real metal this time) and the glass
Additionally, the glass does not cut, so it seems to have a round edge on a few micro-meter (not milli-meters, definively not like S3). It's all the same with HTC Desire for example, so you should not have any problem with glass protection.
My camera doesn't do good macro mode, so I can't show you properly, and as we have a month to go, mechanics might also change a little. But it's not like S3, you can go with screen protections.
I use to have this problem too.From all the videos and photos i trying to notise,S4 seems to be all the glass flat so we wont have this problem!
Samsung Galaxy S4 metal rim around the display is not metal after all.
after using a pouch (not tight a bit loose) for about 10 days now, i notice that the "metal" rim below is fading and found out that is just a white plastic only with chrome plated.
its a bit disappointing that everyone knows that it is a metal frame. i should bought a protective case rather than a pouch.

What's this? Is sammy trynna mislead the consumers? -_-

Actually, it has been known that the chrome edging is just plastic, most of the reviews from the tech sites mentioned it in their reviews.
None the less, it stinks that the coating came off so quick...

Got a hard cover on mine which leaves the top and bottom edges bate but no fading as of yet. Going to be buying a gel cover in the next few days which will cover the rim.

Im using a s3 slide pouch. Maybe by taking on and off that scratches the rim. The pouch is a bit loose. Which I don't know why it fades so fast.
Yup. It's probably the rubbing on the leather inside the pouch each time you put it in and take it out. Do you take it out and put it in all the time? (Oooer).
Still shouldn't have happened though. Bad materials from Samsung.

I can live with plastic (polycarbonate) ... but hate fake metal coating
Black plain honest plastic would have been 10 times better
I have the same thing starting my replacement S4. I received it at 7pm May 16th. That is less than 48 hours later. It has been in my pocket for may 15 minutes total. Honestly have used it for maybe 1 hour. the rest of the time it's been sitting on my desk. The first S4 I had I just returned because the chrome plating cracked near the ear piece. Extremely disappointed with this device quality. Not to mention the US version I have, with the quad core qualcomm, has a bunch of lag and stuttering.
**UPDATE**
Check out the pics of this persons!

Anybody else have this on White version? Only on the right hand side. It feels like the back cover has a small gap between it and the screens bevel. I don't think it's the back glass but it could be.
Anyway, there is a definite gap being closed when squeezed slightly. The noise is plastic rubbing on plastic.
It's freaking annoying as I'm right handed and I can feel it vibrate in my palm on top of hearing the "squeak"! My wife has a Black Nex4 and has no gaps, squeaks, nothing.

I have a black one and it does the same near the middle. This phone looks good but honestly the quality sucks the plastic creaks at the bottom near the USB as well but I've learned to live with it not a big deal for me since the rest of the phone is awesome lol
