just got my z2 and when sat in dark room with brightness turned up the bottom left of the screen shines a bit of light between the plastic trim and the glass display

now i am not bothered by this but will it leak water in when submerged? or am i been paranoid

also noticed the flash is off center a bit apart from that everything seems ok

thanks:laugh:

I think gaps do compromise waterproof, and the off set camera or flash led is a early batch fault

Take note that i recomend you getting a replacement

In my question thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2793532) I got the answer that it doesn't really affect waterproofing because the seal is made over a larger area than the gaps.

The gaps I have are at the top right, bottom left, and the middle of the entire left side (very minimal but noticeable to my very focusing eyes - I regret looking that close to my device)

Thanks for the replys the gap doesn't bother me just worried water would get in and the slight misalignmen of the camera flash doesn't seem to affect anything so I should be good shouldt I?

Thanks

False Myths

this review should calm you: http://thedamsuites.com/2014/06/sony-xperia-z2-really-good-review/

Look in the camera lens from different angles any you'll see different "misaligns" The camera is probably not misaligned and really is only optical illusion :fingers-crossed:

Some lining under the screen may have come off before the screen was adjusted on the device.

well it was annoying me so i thought what the hell i filled a bowl up and put the phone in the bowl (which even a waterproof phone i dont understand the point in doing lol) anyway after a minuet or so the phone seems all ok there was no bubbles coming from the phone to show water getting in and all seems ok so the gaps in my phone at least seems water tight (hopefully):victory:
