Bezel cracks or manufacturer defect?

After a few weeks of waiting I received my Nexus 7 today. I'll admit, I can be pretty picky about these things. I noticed what I first assumed was a crack in the top-right corner of the bezel. Upon further inspection I noticed a similar mark, although less pronounced in the top left corner, in the same spot. There's a third, (even less noticeable but still visible mark in the bottom corner of the bezel, [not pictured]), and the remaining bottom corner looks completely fine.
Question is, am I the only one with these cracks/defects, and while it may seem too picky to some, I'm very tempted to do an exchange. Pictures below.

Molding seams. They're all like that.

Mine was like that too... not as pronounced but visible.

Uhh, no they aren't. Mine doesn't have any of these visible. If its on all of em then some must look worse than others

Odd. Mine doesn't have this issue.

Very interesting, on the most prominent seem (top photo) I pushed it together and it did close up. If they're all like this then it will save me the trouble of returning, cause what's the point.

Thank you for taking the time to take those photos and posting them. It's good to know they're not all like that. Looks like I'll be returning my N7 after all. (If only I wasn't so damn picky.) lol

after checking mine, I only have one corner (corner above where the power button is) shows something similar. It's not a crack for sure, more like a uneven paint line.

Seems like a pain to return anything purchased online. I spoke with Google's customer service after being on hold for 5 mins, (which by the way, they need to change the on-hold music.) The rep, nice guy, made a note of my issue and said I'll be receiving an email in the next 48 hours. I assume after the return, and another few business days to credit my card back, I'll be able to try to buy one locally. (If I can even find one.)

Halo on screen

Has anybody seen something like this before and can explain what it is?
Touch works fine, functionality is not impaired, but it's right in the center of the screen and is going to bug the heck out of me!!
Edit: Shoot! Screen shot does not capture it. It's an eliptical halo (a circle or ring of light).

Never mind... After using the tablet for 30 minutes or so, it just disappeared.
Anybody have an idea what that was??

Could be a water mark others have reported? Are you in a humid area?

Ha! Could be... I was very close to Area 51 recently.
I'm afraid it may be "The Ring" - Help!

Got the same issue exactly. Mine got squeezed in a bag, and the center of the screen touched the LCD.
The halo slowly dissapered over the next few minutes. This happened 3 times so far.
I replaced my portfolio after that because with it, the cover is not totally flat over the screen because of the claw that squeeze the tablet, and if you put something over the tablet, the portfolio cover bend in the center, so all the pressure is at one place.
Replaced it with the TransCover, everything fine now.
My old portfolio was like this model:

Hmmm - it did happen after I came back from a trip. Tablet was clamshell closed in a bag, no cover though. Could be that it got squeezed, that i threw another bag on top or some such..
Thanks for responding. I will be more careful now.

Black Note 4 - lines on back and home capacitive touch buttons?

Is it normal to have lines on back and home capacitive touch buttons? I think the glass has a line design to it?

yes. notice the lines all over the front face of the phone? the buttons are under that.

It's a design feature. It's like Marmite (if you don't know what that is... YouTube it) you either love it or hate it. I find it estheticly pleasing.

I've noticed the stripes and I personally don't like it. It looks broken/shonkey to me. Other than that the handset is great.

I'm gonna put myself down for the hate side on this one. The moment I switched my phone on I saw the lines over the notification LED. What was samsung thinking?

I love them, they look... like pixel art.

Hate the lines. Schoolboy error imo. Worst is the lines over led notification

Hate the lines.

I think the lines give it a little extra flavor.

Glad to know its a feature and not a flaw. I don't care what it looks like

there are lines??? although I don't have the capacitive buttons light up at all

Anyone know what the white marks are on the top and bottom of the metal frame?

I believe they are to do with antenna reception

They may also be to assist in ease of production. It's gotta be difficult to put a solid rectangular piece of metal around the edge of a phone.

Yup, those are the "holes" for the antennas.
To the OP: it's the textured painting behind the front protective glass, it is what it is.

The lines are not visible on the white one....perhaps not too surprising but thought I should mention it in case anyone fancies a colour swap at their store!

Thanks. Would a tpu case cause any issues with reception?

Nope.

I also don't like the lines but it it's the only thing I've had to complain about. Anyway I spend all my time looking at the gorgeous screen.

Holy **** I dont care. I never really see the lights on the capbuttons, nor the notification light. I see the light distantly if something happened, and the capbuttons for a few seconds, and on the white version I honestly dont even think about the lines.
What I DO think about is a mm or less of light from the cap backbutton kind of bleeding into the edge of the screen above it, as if it wasnt sealed properly. But thats only noticeable in a dark room, and not really a big deal either... But thats far more annoying.

Oneplus 3t screen (Amoled) problem?

Hello there!
I would like to ask if there's something wrong with my amoled screen. I bought my Oneplus 3t 4 days ago. I would like to ask if its normal to have screen like that. So, half of my screen (down part) is quite red or pink and it feels like quite darker than the up side of the screen (if you're testing it on white or grey background). It's quite annoying when u are surfing net on chrome... I tested another amoled on My girlfriend's SGS6 edge and the screen is totally the same (there are NO any darker or pinker sides). Do you have anything like that? Or there is something wrong with my amoled? Would like to know your opinion. I would be appreciated if you could send some photos like i did so we can compare.
Thanks in advance!

Sadly this is why i returned my op3 , These displays on the op3/t are terrible
But yeah a lot of op'3s have screen uniformity issues

Do you think i should return it aswell? Is someone else having same problem ?

My display does not have this issue.

Can you please show some screens like i did please ? Put your screen on whole grey background and something about 30% brightness. Would be really appreciated

White......

I tried the screen tester app and sure enough my screen is absolute perfection. All colors look absolutely great . Whites are uniformed white and also greys

Same here every color, gray, and black perfect at every brightness.

Thank you guys for the responds. It was really important for me. Ill refund my oneplus 3t back to store. This is unacceptable for me to have screen like that.

actually that screenshot is useless. imaging using a torch to burn the screen and it turns yellowish or cracks. the screenshot will still be white.

Yah definitely don't see any problems with my display on 3T so good thing you returned.

Yes definitely return it, You shouldn't have to deal with a bad display when you paid 439/479eur, ask for replacement or return it and buy again, problem is with all the returns / replacements you always have to wait weeks.

Guess its better to wait weeks than struggle all the time and be unhappy with the new device . Thanks to all one more time!

It's an AMOLED quality problem. It took me 3returns of my 6P until I got a screen that was uniform without green or pink tints. Luckily, my OP3T was uniform the first time.

Weird oval going down middle

Hi, I don't suppose anyone could tell me what this is? I see it very clearly on my new note 9 I got 2 days ago. You can see it easily in a blacklight, hard to see in daylight. Any clues?

Have you got a screen protector on?

It's adhesive within the display.

I got the same thing on my screen? wtf is that?

I do not have a screen protector on. I figured it would be the glue underneath any idea if that will go away, or should I send it in for warranty? I like to study in my room with a blacklight on, and in person, this thing sticks out like a sore thumb lol

Why on earth would you send it in for warranty, this is not a fault, this is part of the production process, they all have this.

As two of my friends have note 9s and this doesnt show on their phones that's why.

You can also see that on my note 9 but I only saw it when i installed the whitestone dome glass on top of it

Are you looking at your phone under a strong UV light?

There's a whole thread with "thousands upon of thousands " of users that have this defect.

Don't worry, mine has this too (more visible with certain shades of grey though, at 60-65%+ brightness, in a dark room). It looks like some kind of glue or adhesive
Coming from a Pixel 2 XL, it never bothered me too much though. I've seen worse screen defects

same here, never noticed it until I was curing the device under the UV. since the time you are under UV lights should be fairly limited I would guess it's not a problem or an actual defect just that the UV shows up something that likely wouldn't be noticed otherwise.

its like saying the phone smells like a burnt crisp while having it out barbecuing.
but only when having it out barbecuing.
question:
is the phone making the barbecue smell or is the barbecue making the phone smell

hold it closer to the UV light in case it disappears.
