Does anybody have large gap between screen and bezel? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
My Z have a gap the width of finger nail between the screen and the plastic boarder on the left hand side of the phone. This can be seen very easily after a day in the pocket. The right hand side is fine, with hardly any gap.
The phone is only 3 days old, my worry is the gap will let in water and dust in the long team.
Can Z owners please have a quick check of their phone see if this is normal for me
I have attached some pictures of my phone.
1st picture:
Blue shows the gap on the left hand side.
Red shows gap on the right hand side.
Green bit is normal, it looks like a gap, but it is refection of the light off the screen proctor.
2nd pictures show close up of the left hand side.
3rd picture show close up of the right hand side.
Many thanks

Mine doesn't seem to have gaps like that. The one on the 2nd picture looks very wide.

werid possible issue? screen lopsided?

so i just got my tilt.. and when i slide the screen open and tilt it up it almost seems lopsided.. the right side of the screen is up higher then the left.. if this is a defect im going to get a new one but id like some input to see if others phones are like this... i can push down on the screen's top right corner and make it level..
Funny you should say that...I always just assumed it was an optical illusion due to the shape of the face (the shiny black 'surround' not being uniform all the way around). So I measured it and the right side is about 1/16" higher. Noticeable, but no big deal. Is yours more lopsided?
mine is the same size.. i guess it has to do with the spring loaded feature..but it has a very tight tension on it if u push it down it floats right back to the 1/16th area
I've had 2 of them and both were the exact same way.
so this is how the phone is suppose to be then? the top right is up a little higher then the top left?

[Q] Front facing camera

Can someone please tell me if the front camera is completely flush with the rest of the screen or if it set below the surface ? Mine is a little below the surface like I'm missing something or it fell off.
Mine is slightly below the surface, about the depth of the thickness of the plastic speaker grill.
Mine is a inset a little, seems normal. The right side of my bottom speaker grill cover is slightly raised though

The right part of the bottom speaker cover is also raised on my phone.
After I put on a screen protector I don't even notice it. I thought about exchanging it, but I assume that the one I get will be the same
Ya I noticed the right side of mine also has a very slight raise to it if u slide your finger across u can feel it but it is not noticeable at all.

Review of Xgear Exo skin...

Finally got home after being on duty for the last four days and found my skin waiting for me in the mailbox. started smiling like a school kid and went inside to see about putting it on. I must say I think this is the first time I have put anything on that is a dry installation. I was wondering how the install liquid would work on the back of the phone... Yea... Perhaps I should do more research huh?
Any way installation was a breeze. I had to lift it to re align it once as I was off just a touch, but the 3M material lifted clean and re-stuck with no issues. One thing I would note, once you align the camera, IR lens and flash cutouts, check the spacing around them VERY CLOSELY! I didn't know at the time but I was still just a touch off. it is really hard to see that I was off, but once I got the edges heated and pressed down and the corners formed to my device on two corners the material was right at the edge and I could tell that over time with me constantly inserting and removing from my pockets like I always do the material would start getting peeled back and eventually need to be removed. My solution was simply to gently trim with a razor. again this was due to MY install issue and not a problem with the skin.
I was wondering how the rounded corners were going to stick, and with a few seconds of warming with my wife's hair dryer, and a little gentle persuasion with my palm all the corners stuck nice and smoothly.
At first I wasn't going to install the two small front pieces, but so that I could review for the OP I decided I would. Again, just a simple matter of aligning and gently pressing down and all the cutouts lined right up and you would think this was installed by someone who knew what they were doing! I normally don't like screen protectors around the ear piece cutouts because the inner edges of the cutouts tend to be sharp and slightly rough against my ear, but I will leave the pieces on for at least a week to see how the feel.
Overall the quality of the skin and the ease and accuracy of install is way better than I was expecting. I am definitely impressed with the initial fit and finish of it. i will post back after a week of wearing it to post my opinion of how it is holding up.
Ok, here are some pics...
Overall shot of the back...
Here are shots of all the cutouts. Notice how exact they are. Little attention to detail needed for install, but once they are lined up they look GREAT!
Close up of the back cutouts... If you look at the IR lens and the left side of the camera cut out you can see that I am off with my alignment. I didn't notice until I had about 90% of the skin pressed down and just decided to live with my mistake.
And the bottom cutouts...
Top cutouts...
Speaker cutout...
Side view. Notice how close to the screen edge of the phone the skin goes to.
Here is my one boo-boo on install. Notice the slight rough edge on the side piece just below the face piece? that is where I trimmed just a bit off. it isn't noticeable on the phone, and again it was MY fault...
Here are a couple of the corners. they were easy to smooth out and make look good.
Cutouts for the ear piece, front camera, sensor, and what ever that little dot is... Microphone??
All in all, I really like the skin, and since it is cut from the 3M material I can only assume it will last. I just want to see how long the edges stick and look good with my use. I tend to be hard on them...
I also want to thank the company for doing this and going above and way beyond.
Here is a LINK to where you too can purchase these skins. (thanks for the reminder about this Sweets55)
That little dot next to the sensors is the front facing LED light. Its tiny, but very bright.

huh. no kidding. I should have known that.... lol
Nice review. I have the White Carbon Fiber on the way. Maybe put the link of the company in the OP. I thought about not putting on the front pieces as well.

well sweets, that would have made sense to put a link there... I couldnt remember about the front LED, you really expect me to remember to include a link to the product?

Mi5 white, visible joints in silver bezel

Hi!
Just got my Xiaomi Mi5 and its awesome. I have the white version with the silver bezel. The phone is beautiful! However I have something who looks like horizontal visible joints in all four corners. Saw one first and thought it was a scratch but I can see the same marks in every corner. They are also to straight and looks exactly the same so they cant be scratches. They are very faint so its no big thing.
Is it common that the Mi5 has some finishing issues?

Perhaps you talking about antennas? make a photo and show which point it is

Hi!
No I am not talking about the antennas. Have marked which way the mark goes on the picture, however I cant get it to show on pictures. Thought it was a scratch or discoloration first but its a completley straight line and visible in all four corners.

Gap around the display

I noticed on my Xperia XZ1 Compact that there is a noticeable gap between the display and the frame at the bottom. The top is completely flush but the bottom seems like it's like very slightly short. I didn't notice it until I was cleaning my phone and it's dust in there. I am not sure if this will have an effect down the road or affect water/dust resistance. Anyone see the same issue when their display?

Looks the same as mine tbh
Mine also has it.
If u have it, we all have it.
On my silver XZ1C the top and the bottom looks pretty much the same.
