I pulled my phone from my pocket earlier today and the screen was like this. I suspect I may have a dodgy unit but has anyone else seen anything like this ?

Im asking you this because I want to know if it is a software issue or hardware issue. So if when u boot the phone you see the same green waves screen on top of the black screen and the samsung logos then must likely it would be a hardware problem...

so need to check the water sensors etc. If u dont see the green waves then just do a full wipe if problem persist try flshing an other rom.

Hit thanks if I helped

I think this hardware issue. You need send phone tk service center to replace screen.

Geez people, read the responses, it's a hardware problem... If you are squeezing around the edge and thi fixes it means there's a hardware problem....
You might have fixed this time but what might happen next time you put in your pocket?

It is hardware, maybe you placed the phone in your pocket or applied some pressure on it.
If this re occurs, have the display replaced..

I've conacted Samsung and they've sent me a package to post the phone to their service centre . unfortunately there's a 2 week return time. In the mean time I've bought a moto g that my mum will buy off me when I'm done with it.

I did saw this symptom on my note 3. But not by pressing the edge. Just performing screen on by trigger the power button will do. But until now I just saw 3 times. Never happen again.

I have seen this before, and if you take the phone into recovery, the screen is fine, only when you try to restart, it goes back to this, it has to be sent away to be fixed
