My S10+ have a gap at back side, top left corner (on the side of power button). I am able to insert paper into that gap, and even my nail goes inside there with slight pressure.. but it doesnt lift up completely.. only the edges are slightly raised up if nail is pushed in and try to pull that out.. paper also stops going beyond a limit.. I dont know if it is a manufacturing feature or not because in the user manual its written that it is normal to have a gap around the outside cover of my phone. Many times water has gone inside through that gap but until now the phone is working perfectly fine. I had same issue with my A7 2018 and A50.. they both had exactly the same type of gap but at the front side bottom left corner (same position on a7 2018 and a50).. I checked in store and compared it with other a50 and a7 2018.. they all had that exact same gap and you could even push your nail inside that gap and lift up the screen to a good extent.. however on s10+ it was on back side and it wasnt possible to lift up the back panel just by pushing the nail inside.. It really feels so cheap when someone pays for a high-end device and have such tolerances or whatever for expansion/contraction.. Does anyone else have that gap as well on your S10+ ?

There needs to be gaps for expansion and contraction else screen would crack.
These gap posts have been around since the note 3 days on nearly all Samsungs. There is also tolerance levels in the manufacturing process, you may find another s10+ with the bigger gap on the other side or the front.

Actually, my phone have gap everywhere around the casing (enough to push in thin paper).. both front and back side but on the back side top left corner it is slightly big enough to push in my nail..
Looks normal to me. If in doubt send it back.

Got the same gap. Since its shape is very regular it absolutely never occured to me to try and scratch it. I hope this won't be an issue in a few months/years...
looks normal

Even if nail can be pushed into the gap, is that normal ?

I know that there are many variants of the galaxy S but there ive seen some models of the I9000 having a vertical square shaped L&P sensor such as this

whereas mine has a horizontal oval/circular shaped L&P sensor. Any thoughts?
Mine are horizontal (not like the pic). What difference does it make anyways, lol.
the 2 dots are side by side
that will be horizontal
the picture is vertical (top & bottom)
if you are asking this question because you are concerned about the Screen Protector, then there's no need to worry it works, even if covered
Side by side here (horizontally)
side by side here.. could just be a mistake in the drawing of the i9000
Horizontal for me as well.

did you see what i said on my original reply?...
yeah, just trying to warn people to check it out first as it was really unsightly.
Now im using a screen protector which covers everything except for the home button and speaker and its so seamless i dont notice its there

yes i agree
i still got 2 of those screen protector with the top/down cut
i prefer the ones that protects everything except the home button
i prefer no screen protector
this kind of glass doesn't get scratched

It DOES (if you apply enough pressure).
i agree this phone screen is basically scratch resistant. The back cover on the other hand is horrid, and has many scratches... Dropped it a few times on asphalt and the phone front looks band new but the back is starting to show signs of wear and tear.

I've had my TF300T for a little over two weeks now and I have notice some strange marks appearing on the screen.
At first I thought it might have been scratches because I didn't have a screen protector, but I have never put anything on top of the glass or put it flat down. I have the keyboard dock and have always put it back and closed it to keep it safe.
I first noticed a little bit of creaking toward the middle and top of the left hand side.
I was cleaning my screen last week and I noticed some very small arks about 1-2mm each going down the left hand side in what seemed like a row. Worried I might have scratched it I went and bought some screen protectors and applied one immediately. However today I have noticed that some of the marks have started to appear over the right hand side. Now I know they are not scratches because it is under the screen protector and they were not there last week when I applied it.
They are very small, and look like tiny cracks and you can only see them under certain light conditions. But the strange thing is they are all going in the same direction.
I have attached a picture I just knocked up in photoshop to give you an idea of what they look like. They are not this obvious on my tablet but it's just an illustration.
Should I be worried?

If you're using the dock, are the keys scratching it?
I got my note 4 for 1.5 week now and today i saw something very very odd.
The screen was off and i saw the reflection of a ceiling lightbulb in my screen and what i noticed was that at a certain spot the reflection gets deformed! like you would push too hard on the screen and you'd push that section a little deeper.
I tried to capture a photo but that didnt really work out as the camera is blinded by the reflection. It looks like the glass just isnt completely flat , like when its still liquid and cooling down you'd put your finger on it to make an indent..
Its located in the middle heightwise and about 2/3rd to the right side. I've never ever seen this before, only with my ipod touch 4g i could push the glass and it would change reflections (so it kinda bent a little bit) but it came back to how it should be when pressure was released.
I've been very careful so i have no idea how this could have occured.. should i bring it back to the store or something?
I'm not really sure what you are describing but sounds like a defect. Better try returning it before you cant.
Return it before it's too late. That spot could be ripe for problems down the road when you've run out of warranty (ie weakness in the glass.)
Mine's the same. Almost like it has ripples but only noticable when the screen's off and I look at a bright light reflected in it.
I assumed it was normal . . . Perhaps due to the 2.5D (or whatever it's called) glass production. Doesn't seem to make any difference to the display or to touch sensitivity.
Anyone else have this?
Vey vey slight ripple on mine, but it's still considered normal. 2.5D is the rounded feature at the edges of the screen where it meets the metal rim.
yea mine isnt noticeable when the screen is on, only when looking at bright reflections. I'm going to the store just so they can notice it too and maybe write it on my warranty or something
Mine isn't flat either! Remember my Galaxy Note 10.1 had a similar problem but it was only on the back cover... having the same problem on the front side is totally unacceptable to me and I will return it tomorrow!!
Problem must be that components underneath the screen is sticking up too much.

Totally defect..u should return it while still under warranty..

Mine too and also the ones at the store. Maybe thats normal? Also just noticed my Tab S 8.4 is slightly un even.
I think its normal and not a defect

Oops.
A one foot fall from my nightstand to the wooden side panel of my bed has caused the back glass on my S7 to look like a kaleidoscope. And the worst part is that I have a case that would have protected it but didn't have it on.
Ebay appears to have some replacement rear panels. (I like the silver better than the one with which it came.) However there isn't one specific to SM-G930V. I assume any that say G930 are ok? There are versions for AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint and international versions.
Any thoughts on whether this international version or this international version will work?
It should work (95% certain) as they all are the same size/shape. You will lose the verizon stamp though (might consider that a plus lol).

I think the only difference would be the carrier logo on the back, otherwise if it's just the rear cover you should be fine. I personally would just put a layer of thin, clear epoxy over the cracked back and give it a unique look while still being smooth.

I've order one and will try to remember to post back after it is on.
Cadcamaro, if it wasn't for the gear vr I would put the phone on a case and not take it out. Would you still epoxy with cracks this long?

That's a nasty crack, I'd still try it though.
I decided to go for the epoxy first. That way the backing of the phone would stay together and I would just get the glass to stay in place. The goal was not to make this pretty, but to get it all to stay intact and as water resistant as possible.
First I used tape to cover the sides and camera. In retrospect I wish I had put a suction up on the screen to make it easier to hold. If anyone else tries this, also make sure you have a screen protector on as a backup.
Here's what it looked like with the epoxy. I removed the tape before it set.
Do you see it too? When the display is on of course.
I'm worried it's a gap and will compromise the water resistance of the phone.
Glad to hear if you can see it too.

Yes, I've had a few devices and they all had it. Light bleed is also visible where the aluminum bezel meets the front glass....and the above the notification LED...aaaaaand below the earpiece. All completely normal, happened in every device I've tested. I have major OCD with this kind of stuff, but it really doesn't bother me anymore.
ETA - Here's an picture I took a while back with my old s6 edge, you can clearly see the side light bleed and above the home. Times haven't changed. That said hopefully Samsung will address this in the S8.

Thank you for your detailed answer I really appreciate it I'm sorry to hear that you struggle with this topic as well just to make sure I attached a picture the exact location can you confirm that this is the spot where you see it as well

Yes happens right there, above the home button. But again, that's not the only place where you'll find the light. It's annoying sure.
I have not noticed any light bleeding like you've described.
Although at night, as shown above, brighter sides of the screen will cause where the glass/aluminum meet to "glow" since the display light is reflecting/traveling down the curved edges. Looks weird, and not a fan of it... but not a deal breaker either.
My onyx edge has a gap between the metal frame and front glass, more or less around the volume buttons region. I read it's not uncommon, but it worries me because it could mean water leaking in.
Every device has a gap between the the aluminum bezel and the glass. Not sure why Samsung designed it this way, but it's literarily in every device. Along with very minor light bleed by the notification led, home button, and earpeice speaker. I don't think it'd have any impact on the water resistance, otherwise every device would be broken that took a dip in water.
You're right but I still don't trust the water resistance. Also what I've noticed is that the screen is a bit nervous when on full brightness. Almost seems like an ultra fast flickering when I look at the screen
