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.
Hi
I have a camera issue on my note 8. At night time I get these bright spots near any bright light source. I've attached a picture to show this. The spots move position on the screen as I move the phone around. Anyone else got this? My camera lens in clean.
I believe it is from the refraction of the light thru the glass over the lens. Happens all the time with a bright light source going through a filter or other glass materials.

Thanks but I've never seen this before. Can anyone else replicate this?
try wiping the camera
I tried wiping the lens - it is clean and clear.
Here is a video of the problem - the movement of the spots tells me this is not a hot pixel on the CCD but something else bobafx is likely right about refraction, but I have never had this issue with a camera before.

guys (and gals) this may be a common problem with this phone, see here:

at various points (55s - 1:08s) you can see the dot I've talked about
and also see here:

im currently talking to samsung on chat about this...
I have the same issue with my note 8. So i checked other Samsung phones, 3 different galaxy s7, galaxy s7 edge and galaxy s8+. All of the phones have the exact same dots when in low light near a light source.

Is this issue on USA models only that use Sony sensors? Just took this video.

I'm still not seeing this on my cameras. I've been going out in front of my house at night and shooting inside my house and at the gas station and other spots during the night and I'm not seeing it.
Got the same problem, strangely enough I've never noticed something like this in my Note 5 so I think this is specific to either my unit (or a batch) or the entire Note 8 model.
Now I can't test my note 5's camera as the glass is cracked.
Attached are some sample photos from me - I must admit this is a pretty annoying issue.
I need to find someone at work with a Note 8 and do a direct comparison. If I succeed, I'll update you guys with my findings.
@msx999 Let me know the result of your contact with Samsung (if you ever have any) please.
Are you talking about the light from the street light reflecting from glass back of the phone and hitting the street? Maybe because back is like mirror and reflects light back, like a mirror? It would be easy fix, put the cover on, or tape something non reflective on the back as a temporary fix. Either that or I'm not seeing what you see.

Hi pete4k, I'm talking about the light reflections from the car's lights and the street lights as highlighted on the photos.
You can move the location of those reflections just by tilting the phone - it's happening within the lens or between the len's glass and the image sensor.

Hi Maciekd
I still think at least some of the pics show reflection of the street light off the back of the phone, acting like a mirror. The angle and shape of the the reflection seem to be right. But maybe I'm wrong, maybe it is something reflecting inside the cam, but I have not seen it on my pics to investigate more, however I did see the light reflections off the back, so was thinking maybe it's the same, but if it's not, it's not.
I think this is indeed reflection. But I don't think eveyone is having the same issue.
I think this might be an issue limited to my unit or maybe some batch.
Dot defect reflection problem on note 8
I have the same problem exactly.
Been replaced the camera part and the result is still the same but minimize the dot's size only. But still annoying to have this problem at the note 8 compare to its price.
Even before clicking take shoot or recording, I can see there are dots in display.
just wondering. Not all unit have this issue. I've seen a post that no dot defect at all from other forum.
So it maybe only some unit have the problem.
Will going back to Samsung service center and ask a replacement unit. See if approve or not.
The same problem, note 8, Europe, bright moving spots, never seen before on older models...
Same
Yes..Same thing for me. Only when you are shooting something that is directly flaring like lights or something blindly at night but once you out focus them. The camera is just fine
everytme i take a night time video with lights near by I get these tiny dots... look at link below for more.

guys is this a physical defect? I need to know asap..
Noticed something for the first time today. Looks like there's light bleeding from the left side edge of my screen where it meets the frame. It's not uniform either so it makes me think that there was some sealent that detached somehow. Anyone else have this issue? I'll try and take a pic once I have another camera to use.
Looks like the same is happening to mine. Left side bottom corner. Actually seems to just be the paint under the glass is peeling away or something? Doesn't seem like it's physically open, compromising the water resistance.
Look like this?
Sent mine in like 2 weeks ago. Still waiting for them to ship it back.
They managed to replace the LCD and motherboard for some reason... wth Samsung
another thread...its not light bleed -
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/help/light-bleed-t3670247
Dang. That's too bright for a dark room.
Huh just noticed that on mine too. Not that bad though but still noticable.
Composed on Galaxy Note8
I've had 2 replacements so far. First one was on the left side from top to bottom. Second phone was all round. Looked the screen had it's own halo!
Interestingly the store manager said that this is not the norm having compared them against the the display phones in store and his own Note 8 which were all flawless!
Whether it's the light reflecting from the screen etc etc, i personally believe this should not be like this, not when there is so much inconsistency between flawless handsets and handsets with the light bleed.
Samsung needs to address this and actually take ownership.
This is one of the first things i checked when i got my Note 8. Mine doesn't have this "bleed"
Is this happening to anyone else ? In the edges of my fingerprint reader, the light strip, and along the ridges my finish is starting to slowly rub off. I'm not rough with the phone it's just coming off with everyday use.
Can you please post a picture or two ? I am really curious, because i also order one red magic 3
No problem with mine so far
My Moto Edge 20 unit came with yellow edges on the display all around apart from the bottom edge. Not a big issue, but noticeable enough to annoy me on content of a solid color. It's yellow much like how older iPhones used to be shipped with yellow edges, the picture is roughly how it looks on my display. I used it for about 3 months and it didn't go away, so is there a way to fix it? My guess is that my best bet would be with a UV lamp of some sorts, but maybe some people here can confirm that. I cannot return it and I probably cannot send it back to Motorola since it's rooted, so my other option would be selling it, which is my last resort. Any advice would be very welcome.
Edit: I should mention that it's very slight. It's only noticeable if you know it's there. It's maybe 1/3 as bad as in the picture, but it bothers me.
Hello there, this won't help, but I cannot see any yellow edges on mine. If it's there I don't see it.
However, maybe this is an issue with your screen and you may ask for a replacement?
Have you seen it on any other Edge 20?
Update: I found that using one of those dead pixel fix apps from the play store helped with the yellowing of the display. After about 4 hours of "curing" the phone with one of those apps, the yellowing slowly started to fade. It's not gone, but it's better than it was. If you have an issue like this on any phone, try this trick before RMA-ing it.
