I know I have seen someone else had this issue with the Diamond I can see the light coming out from around the lens on the phone but only on one side, is this something that can be fixed or should I return the phone? Sorry I searched and seached and can't find where I read about this.. Thanks to anyone that can help..
Front lense? You mean front screen? Like light coming out from the edges of the screen?
yup mine has light leaking from the right side of the screen (NOT LENS!)
front screen
Yes I am talking about the front screen it is the left side it looks as if teh glass is lifting on the left side and the light is ecasping so is there a way to click it back in place without breaking it? Thanks
Same here. Unless you want to brave voiding our warranty by taking it apart, I would exchange the phone. I'm definitely returning mine this week. I can already foresee moisture getting in there and screwing up the screen.
isnt this normal?
every set got this issue
anyone here doesnt have this issue?
Btw i'm using Touch Pro, not Diamond
So are you saying that the light around the screen is suppose to be normal I can't see it being a good thing for the phone at all..
This is really the easiest way to solve the issue on light bleeding from the sides and the nose area .. received 2 VR covers and here is my review about it.
Full review
Did anyone else get these? Or did anyone find another solution how to stop the light from coming in. still a weird choice to have a white color inlay inside the GVR.
some one said this will make the fov off a bit. did you notice that? atm its out of stock..but luckily i ordered it when it was in stock =)

Are you guys experiencing light bleed from the edges of your Note 8 screen. I just got my Tmobile Note 8 yesterday.
Wow...
I was hoping to god this wasn't gonna happen again.. I hated this so much with the Note 7 -_-
It isn't bad at all when the brightness is lowered, but looks absolutely disgusting when using the phone for GPS at night.
Last thing I want is for a $1500 phone to look cheap.
Apparently this is "natural" because of the glass and how it reflects light, BUT... all they had to do was wrap the black around it to block that reflective exit alone the edges.. But they didnt.
I may just take my note 8 back over this. I couldn't stand this on my note 7
OP, you should max the brightness, show a white image, and put a credit card on top of the screen and then take a picture.
Wow! I probably would have never noticed, but I do now. Thanks! I have a VZW but it doesn't seem near as bad as yours. Luckily my case covers it so I won't OCD over it, like the bubble I have in the bottom of my screen protector, going back to geek squad tomorrow. On my s7 edge I made them change it out 3 times. :angel:

You probably aren't noticing it because it takes a relatively bright image closer to the edge for it to appear.
View a white image with maxed brightness while covering the majority of the screen, and you will literally see a white ring around the edge of the phone.
Super damn annoying -_-

After reading this post, I immediately took it out of the case, cranked the brightness up, turned the lights off, opened a web page, seen it! Aghhhh! On mine, it seems worst on the right side. Put it back in the case, took a shot, and now trying to forget it was ever there or my eyes will look for it every time, because it IS ANNOYING now that I KNOW it's there!

Sorry
If it makes you feel better, its only noticeable when the brightness is at a decent level. Plus using a case will get rid of it entirely.
I'll probably whip out the microscope and apply a fine line of black paint along the edge of the glass lol.
I wonder when they're going to get rid of light bleed. I've literally had it on every device with a screen that I've ever owned.
I thought that OLED devices weren't backlit. Blah blah blah individual pixels lit. Isn't that supposed to be a selling point of OLED screens? Where does the light bleed come from?

It happens because the glass is still thick enough to allow light to travel along the inside and exit throughout the edges.
This is such an easy fix too, which is why I don't understand why this hasn't been fixed. All they have to do is literally wrap the glass around the edges with the same material they're using the the top and sides anyway..

Ahh, ok. Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. It's different than the standard LCD light bleed then.
Hopefully I won't notice it much while it's in a case.
Zero light bleed on mine.

A blast from the past. Identical thread in the Note 7 and nearly all other forums concerning the 'edge screen design'.
It is not technically "Light bleed" That term is reserved for a phenomena (problem-fault) often common with IPS panels.
What you are seeing is......how can one write.......light escaping NOT into the screen as light bleed but light escaping from the screen.....There is a gap between the body and where the display ends, this tiny tiny tiny space, in certain situations, can indeed shine light OUT but not into the screen and there is a difference but both can be annoying IF we become OCD about it. I guess this situation is part of the edge experience? As suggested by peers, a case will stop such micro reflections or light escaping.

So this is a known issue with Galaxy phones?
I've never experienced it with the Note 7 or currently with the Galaxy S8 plus. Is this enough to get a replacement?
Wow, this thread is like dejavu, I had to really look for it with max brightness in a dark room to find it on both my note 7's. I didn't think it was a big deal but some did. If I get the note 8 I will look for it.

It sounds like you might have to go through more than one replacement to get one that doesn't do it.
Just for fun, I always follow the release of the new iPhone on Macrumors each year, and there's always a huge light bleed thread. I know (now) that this is something completely different than what happens with these phones.. People over there go through numerous replacements to try and get a perfect screen. Many never get one.
I will have my phone in a case from day one, so I guess that I won't see this.
Mine's good... no light bleed at all.
I am getting no light bleed at all. Turned my screen all the way up on a white screen and no light bleed.

None on my T-Mobile variant. I put a full white image up just to be sure.

I'm not seeing any either even with the brightness turned all the way up and various bright pictures. There's a slight change in brightness but that's to be expected with the curve but nothing like the pictures.

at least one guy on another forum has reported his light bleed and is getting a replacement in exchange.
So maybe some were built with more of a "gap" there than others.
The way my luck with electronic devices works, I'll definitely have it. Glad that it won't be noticeable when it's in a case. I won't even look for it, because then I'll know it's there for sure and it will bug me.
I was looking at refurbished Galaxy Note 8's on eBay and all the sellers list this problem. They have multiple quantities available though so I'm wondering if they just list this to cover themselves in case it has it or do literally all of them have this issue? I have the S8 and I know it has the same type of screen, but I've never had an issue. Is LCD burn also a common problem for the S8 and S8+?
I have my note 8 since Nov 22 2017, and it does not show any burns, shadows or abnormal tint/color anywhere, FYI, it is a LED panel, not LCD

Are you trying to take a screenshot of your burn in?

I was wondering the same thing.
Anyway, on topic: I've had mine since about April 2018, which isn't as long as some others, but I also have no discernible burn-in. An issue I do have, however, is that my screen scratches incredibly easily. I have a couple of really bad scratches and some deep ones and I don't do anything funny with my device. It's either laying face-up on the desk or it's in my pocket. Some of the scratches has weird shapes to them that I can't figure out where they even came from or how. Other than that, no other issues or problems. Screen is still clear and very pretty and no strange artefacts.
Screen Burn-In is not really an issue, unless you are gaming or textings for really long periods of time. Or have a picture displayed on your device for over 2 hours.
I have massive amount of burn in of the whole keyboard,and the top of the screen. Irritates me to no end, I have reversed my colors of my keyboard but I doubt that will help
I see a really varying experiences about this issue, it reminds me about another issue with the sides peeling off, some posted very bad peeled sides, specially on black models, in the end I think these occurences might be batch-related, or pure and simple bad luck, my note, as many, many others
is more than a year old and happily does not have any problem whatsoever

That does sound weird haha.
As far as the peeling, when I first got my Note 8, I could feel an unevenness on the sides. Turns out that there was a thin plastic film just like there was on the top and bottom when it came out of the box. I just peeled it off. Is that what you were talking about? I just assumed it was put on at the factory before it was boxed up as like the protective plastic on the screen and back. Was I wrong to peel it off? It didnt seem to affect the finish at all and shortly after that, I put the phone in a case anyway...
The units suffering the peeling problem showed a different color where the peelings occurred,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/help/peeling-paint-t3689436
my note 8 did not have protective films at the sides, just front and back, and no peelings anywhere so far

Interesting. Thanks for the link. The more I look in the XDA forums, the more I am second guessing my choice on getting this phone. Between the screen burn, the peeling paint, the charging port burning out, mysterious cracks in the screen, etc... I am wondering if I should have done a little more research. So far, knock on wood, this first month has been trouble free and hopefully it stays that way.
And as far as the protective plastic film on the sides, maybe it is a recent change that Samsung is doing? I honestly couldn't see it but could feel it and when I peeled it off, it was perfectly cut out to go around the buttons. One of the posts in the link you provided mentioned a protective film over the colored back glass to provide a better visual look. Maybe that's what I discovered on the side and was supposed to leave it on but I couldn't stand the uneven feel of it before I got the case.

Bahahaha!! That's great!:laugh:
hi guys, was wondering with this phone can you hide the hideous punch hole?
i don't mean just tinting black the status bar, but tinting it black + also shifting down the status bar, as you can do for example with some OP phones? tia!
I guess we do not have such feature (like OP9Pro near me has).
At first I thought the punch hole would annoy me but now I haven't really noticed it before you now mentioned it. The chrome ring around it does make it stand out more and I don't really understand it's existence but if you flip it in landscape mode with vol+pow upwards you don't notice it.
could it be hidden better? Yes.
Is it annoying? No.
unfortunately for me it is annoying. I knew already before trying a phone with it, and I got confirmation when I tried it lol. really can't stand it, and I don't know how people can. for example if you see something in full screen (movie, game etc) how can't you notice the hideous hole interrupting what you are watching.. I mean, we are speaking of a hole in the screen after all.. worst thing ever for me.. even worse than notch..
thanks guys for the replies! so I have to skip this one too

Zenfone 8 Flip is one of your only options with full view no obstruction display then or phones like Rog which have bezels on top and bottom for the speakers
