I'm really just nitpicking at this point, and I wouldn't ever return my device over something so minor. But for example, when you are charging your device, with the red LED active, do you notice some red light bleed where the body meets aluminum chassis? Other bright notification LEDs also make it easy to see. This is primary noticeable in dark environments.
S7 edge black
Oh, I thought you said that the display LED was bleeding, which is impossible since the display doesn't have LEDs, but no, I haven't noticed any notification LED bleed (yet, on my gold version), but I'll keep an eye on it. Not the biggest issue though if it's there, since it's only there when charging.
What color phone? I don't sees that on my black one

I have the gold version, and it does that bit. But its no biggie to me
that is what you call a reflection bet you have the gold version to lol
It's actually the black one. It doesn't seem like reflection since it's between the gap of the glass and aluminum. It doesn't bother me, it's actually very tiny, but I just want to make sure I'm not the only one with it.
It's not something I actually noticed until it was completely dark in my room.

"Meh", nothing's perfect, and it's only when it's charging, so I wouldn't bother at all. Spend your energy on something else. It seems like it's rather normal
Well I mean it's more than charging, it's any notification. But right, I'm no worried. Just more or less curious if this was on every black s7 edge.
Found this discussion - http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/gap-edge-glass-metal-frame-t3348952/page2
It seems like it all might be related? However I can't physically see a big gap or stick paper between the openings.

Mine have problem too #S7EdgeGOLD. It seem Samsung QC are lazy to check (too many device with this gap).
I think it would be better to exchange your device as if the light bleeds the water resistance might be compromised. The glass should be glued to the metal body and the light from the notification LED shouldn't be able to pass through the glue if everything was alright. Well, this is my opinion though, it might not be an issue however have one in mind.

Did you replace it? Yeah i send my device back to Bhinneka(Indonesian Online Store); but they waiting until Samsung Indonesia give statement the device is broken. Waiting other people share video a Normal Version of Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge(Without GAP).
Samsung Indonesia don't have brain to think, light shouldn't pass if they persistent glued between metal & glass. And about GLUE// for maybe 3-10 times put it on water maybe no problem. What about if we put more than that maybe GLUE will break too.
Really sad purchasing this phone in Indonesia.
Just checked mine, and I can't see any light bleed or gap(s) on mine (gold one).
Now I'm getting a little worried about the waterproofing. I'm at day 15 of my purchase so I'd probably have to fight if I want to return it. Wut woh :/
So my tech OCD is killing me. Decided I'm going to try another device. Ugh.
Someone please tell me I'm crazy for exchanging a device over something so minor.
Here is an example picture of what mine is like in low light. But my phone is black and not gold.

If have no problem with GAP please post pictures of TOP bezel when LED notification is ON. Capture using video is appreciated you're helping people to claim to Samsung.
My unit is only 1-2hours with me and send it back to seller. Dunno, will it replace or return with same device.

hi, i have a problem with my transformer screen; in the centre of the screen when it's black (or dark colors) it appeared a big white zone, what is it? it's backlight bleeding? also at a corner there another zone.....how can i fix i? pleaze help me!!!
I have same problem also but came from stepping on tablet. Does the warranty cover this? I call it preasure points.
Yes, thats usually caused by too much pressure on the screen. I have similar on my laptop, which was caused by a bigass shelf falling from the wall on it (the laptop survived!!!)
I dont know how it works in the states, but here damages caused by "missuse" or accidents is not covered by the normal warranty. You have to buy an extra insurance to cover those kind of damages.
if they are from stepping, why they appear only if the screen is black or a dark color??

Who cares? Are you going to tell Asus you stepped on it?
Just RMA and tell them it happened spontaneously or that it was always like that and then got worse recently.
In fact i'll do like you said next week, unfortunately now i'm at my parent's house and the purchase receipt is at my university residence ( and it's quite far 530km)....hoping everything will be fine, i like so much my TF101.
i'll update you next week.
Light bleeding is a common problem. You won't have a problem with warranty.
i thought that it is light bleeding but was perplexed about the one in the center of the screen that appeared in less a day..
A word of caution. I sent my transformer back for a light bleed problem and ASUS sent it back to me in worse condition than when it left. Then they had the balls to ask me to send it back to them at my expense.
No thanks, I'll live with the light bleed, but I will never purchase another asus product again.

mmm.... I've read lots of bad review to the asus RMA, i hope here in Italy is better but i'm not so confident...
However my problem is the zone at the center is so much annoying. let's see if they will accept it, i must come up with a good excuse for rma-ing it after 3 month after the purchase...do the lightbleeding "expand"?

Because the cells in that region are permanently switched to a higher luminance? On dark colors it's easily visible but on bright colors that are already high in luminance to begin with you won't see anything. On white, you should see nothing unless the screen is capable of outputting a "whiter white."

Yup that pretty much sums it up.
To put it in more layman terms - the display has been pushed closer to the background light than the rest of the screen, as well as been damaged.
I know on older TFT's, it was in some cases possible to disassemble it and reallign the screen to the background light plane and, if lucky, fix the issue completely. I fixed an old laptop screen that had been stepped on by doing that.
I dont think its quite as easy on a tablet though, especially since its an IPS and not TFT screen.
I hate it when a glossy phone gets all smudged up with fingerprints and either you:
A) Constantly have to clean it
or
B) Have it look like #%&!
It seems like the white version of the S4 won't show fingerprints the way the black one does. Has this swayed anyone's decision out there who wanted to go black but ended up going white?
Of course... Samsung could have avoided their black version looking like #%&! by simply putting a texture on the outside of the back plate like they did with the Galaxy S2... but I guess that would be too simple
The S4 has a faux texture, but I see what you mean. I picked the white since it was all they had at the store. We got another white and a black on preorder and I'll make my decision then.
FWIW I much preferred the black GS2 over the white.
I'm going with white because it repeals heat (or won't be as hot). If you get black, well, prepare for a game of hot potato.
I've got black, the fingerprints are very hard to see because of the texture.
That really only matters if you are putting the back of the phone in direct sunlight.

please explain why the colour white/black variant influences the hottness of the phone in the case of high loads. By me its nonsence as the single colour just cant do that, so the matter could be different firmware/material/faulty device THX

Absolutely hate shiny phones and I went with the white S3 because of fingerprints.
This time I thought a bit more. I always have it in a case, so I got the black.
No I didnt I went for the black, I put a full body screen protector on it, google it up if you dont know what it is. Ta-da no more finger prints. Now I just have to sell my s3

Dark colors traps heat. I have the S3 in pebble blue. When I play hd games, or use for extended period, the phone becomes hot. Add to the fact that I have a black case on it. My sis-in-law has a white s3. She's a power user, but every time I touch her phone, I don't feel much heat. She has a light colored case on hers.
To make it plainer, go outside dressed all in black & stand in the sun for a few hours. Then tell me how you feel

Black pigments absorb all visible colors of light. That is why they appear black to you. They take up that light as heat (not gonna explain the long way, so don't freak out, physics majors) so you feel warmer. White stuff reflects all visible colors, which is why you see the white sunlight reflected onto your eyes. They don't take up the energy from that reflected light, so they don't get as hot.
Your comparison only makes sense if the backs of the phones are constantly in direct sunlight, in which case the heat generated by the phone itself is trivial. The only way there could be a difference between the two models is if they use different materials for each one, and I highly doubt that is the case. In your situation, I would be willing to bet that the cases you have on the phones are made from different materials, in which case one is a better conductor than the other.

I'll have to keep that in mind when choosing phone colors & cases.
BTW, your name (the first word), is my middle name, minus 1 extra letter.
yes Jihad I ment it in this way Iam an engineer so I know all this things thats why I disagree Saturny's explain and doesnt make sence to me. So finaly the difference in the heat thing will be only on direct sunlight as black SGS3/4 couldnt cool up and dissipate the heat from stressed components...so white or black doesnt care...in my country will by black after a week maybe more than a week so I'll take white today...

My display is warmer/yellower than I expected straight on (not as much from an angle) - I thought they figured this stuff out by now?
When I turn on sRGB mode it makes it less yellow but too washed out and it doesn't seem to stick after reboot. Anyone?
Put it this way, whites on mine definitely do not look pure white like some reviews have said. I hate how screens can differ....

Yes sounds like mine. I called Google and they said if I want I can have another sent to me (they would put a hold/authorization charge on my account) and then I send the original back when received. Then the hold/charge is dropped. I told them I'd think about it.
Any chance the warmness will change/look more normal over time or no? I'm pretty positive that it is actually more yellow than it is supposed to be compared to "normal" ones, so don't second guess yourself if you think it is. I've had this issue so many times in the past with phones....

Every amoled I have has had this to a certain extent or another. My GS6 edge, my Moto Maxx (international version of the turbo).. It's something I have grown use to on amoled displays. I can see it in all of them, even if it's slight. Some people just do not see it or notice it for whatever reason.
I have a felling that all phones will have this "issue".
I had mine against Galaxy S6 edge plus and it seemed that mine has a better colours etc. But it was on the first day and I didn't notice pink/yellow hue so wasn't looking for it in Samsung device.
Regarding CPW exchange stock. I have ordered it this morning in store and got a text it has been despatched so should have it tomorrow.
So don't worry and go to store. Just say you spoke to customer service and they told you to come to store to order new one.

I was just going to ask this - for the people who are saying the screen is great and whites are really white, etc...I mean they can't really be seeing what we are seeing right? It's not awful or terrible but it is definitely noticeable slightly yellowish/warm to me, especially compared to my LCD G3 screen and an iPhone 5 screen.
Do you really think all AMOLEDs are slightly yellow/warm? I can't let myself believe that but at the same time I haven't had an AMOLED in a while so it's hard for me to decide in my mind...

I was talking more about the pinkish hue. Amoled whites have always sucked. lol They are never white but always have a tint to them. With the nexus s it was a blueish tint, with later devices like the GS6, Turbo etc... it's a pinkish tint.. I mean if you just do a search of Insert_any_device_name_that_uses_amoled_screens_here and "pink tint" or "blue tint" or "purple tint" there will be at least one thread or something about it online for every single device.. lol I think some people's eyes aren't as sensitive to it so it's not as noticeable to them

Well I consider mine more yellow than pinkish, and also goes away when you tilt it - but I'm sure everyone sees the temperature slightly different.
I know there are always variations of screens but knowing that there PROBABLY is a much more balanced/correct version of the display out there is an awful feeling - the thought of having to get a second one and the second one will possibly suck too is just the worst (first world problems).
It also sucks that these aren't in local stores to go in and compare the display to.
Fwiw, mines the exact same way. There's a small degree of head-on angle that goes yellow-whites instead of bluish-whites.
Putting it side-by-side with my Turbo, its still a lot less yellow and I never had an issue with the Turbo screen.
This is my first time with an AMOLED screen and I keep reading things about tints and such with the screen. I don't see any colored tints yet though I'm still waiting on my Sim card to really use it, just set it up ahead of time. I did notice though that when I compared it to my Nexus 5 the whites on my N6P look kinda off white. I'm not sure if that's normal or not?

If the tint of the screen is uneven or there is an excessive yellow tint then the screen is duff. Have a look in the "pink hue" thread in the Q&A section and there's pics of the uneven green/pink tints. If you don't see any and you like the screen then there's no issue. At the end of the day, it's your perspective of whether or not you have a problem.

Really. I have this ever so slight purplish/pinkish thing on the right that doesn't seem to be there all the time. Literally the only time I ever see it again is when I'm in these forums and someone reminds me to start looking for it with a post about it. Seriously.

If you can't see a problem with the screen by looking at it then you're fine. Don't go looking for issues with something because you'll psych yourself into thinking something is wrong when nothing is wrong. . I use to be the same way trust me. Just enjoy a great phone with a really good dev community..
I was just asking if the whites not looking pure white was normal. I said I don't see any colorish tint but I posted this cause I have no experience with AMOLED and didn't know if that was normal for this type of screen or not. I'm not looking for issues its just a question.
Is there an app to test for tint?
There's considerable variability in the white point of AMOLED displays due to the manufacturing process. Each one is a little different. Hey, it's "organic", right? Seems like they should be able to calibrate that at the factory, but apparently not. If you send it back and get another one, it might look whiter, or it might not. It should look reasonably uniform, and reasonably white. If you think it's unacceptable, send it back.
If you're worried that it might not be exactly 6000 Kelvins, then you should seek therapy.
Back in the Galaxy Nexus days, I saw one that was very pink, one very yellow, and one that was just right (mine!).
So I got a replacement cause I felt the screen had a tint.. Here is the comparison pics... The one on the left is the replacement. Think the difference is clear.
Just out of curiosity, how are the perfectionists claiming the screen should look? Mine is like the left image, and I'm happy with it.

I admit I have OCD when it comes to electronics. Got an RMA with a screen that works for me, so I am happily enjoying my phone. :victory:
Got get over it at some point.
Call me crazy but I can deal with the uneven tint. Hell, as I was taking the pics I didn't even notice it, although I probably will now lol but what bugged me and made me RMA was the solid film which looks like a yellowish tint that dulled whites and kinda the screen as a whole. I'm happy with the replacement even if its not perfect

So I got a replacement cause I felt the screen had a tint.. Here is the comparison pics... The one on the left is the replacement. Think the difference is clear.

The replacement device on the left looks worse than the 'defective device' but they're both bad if I'm honest. RMA again buddy.
I just checked with my mate's 6P and mine and mine was brighter than his and he noticed this. His display was less warm too but a bit on the grey side. Both panels had an even color finish, unlike your samples mate.
Here's mine at lowest brightness. Not sure if its "perfect" or not but seems fine to me.

I think the one on the right looks more even.

We need a stupid name with this... I don't know if it's a gap or the glass is so thin that the light will leak through. To find out if this happens to you, Google "white" go to images and put your phone on full brightness and go in a dark room and you will probably see through sides of the phone growing lightly, I don't think it should be visible during normal daily use but I found this while in bed. I will have pictures soon I don't have any phones with usable roms at the moment.
yaa.. same here with gold s7 edge
There is no back light like ips displays. There for cannot have light leak. What your seeing is the side angle of the display because it bends. Test this by recreating the situation then turning the phone so the edge part of the display is facing you.

I gave my S7 edge back for warranty repair because the screen stopped working. They changed the screen and now my repaired unit has the same issue. I'm pretty sure the original one didn't. See the pictures. Do you guys think it's normal ?

It is normal. It's because of the curve of the glass, that's all.
Yep i see those too in my device, but i highly doubt people check their phone in that angle.

As others have said I don't think it's a physical gap in the glass but more of a reflection of light against the edge of the glass. I wouldn't worry about it.
It's normal. Every S7 Edge will look like that. It's just physics.
I am 100% positive that it comes from under the glass and not a reflection of the edge.
I even put a black tape on the edge just to be sure.
Do all of your S7 Edge look like this ?
I have same thing pretty sure it is light bending off the glass and reflecting at an angle that it illuminate the outside edge

Hi Guys,
mine also does that after I replace my cracked screen.
Samsung has released a statement about this. Just google: Light leak Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, and you will find it in the first one from Samsung website.
Hope this one help.
Cheers

I dont think it does this because of the curvature of the glass, because if you add pressure to the screen the "light leakage" sort of goes away.

lol, I've seen that. but I'm just saying, from my observation I noticed tiny spots along the line of light at the edges, possibly dust or air during production of the phone. If the light was caused simply because of the bend of the screen, wouldn't it be a perfectly straight line?
i dont know if your still going on about this but the top speaker also lights upcause of the light leak
