It depends on the degree of blur as well as location. A small amount blurring near the outside edges is normal. The less blur near the center region the better. It can also vary between lens of the same model. However most lens including ones the cost thousand$ have varying degrees of blur across the lense. The degree of blur matters. Some small amount of blur is always present.
No one has published the measured degree of blur on S23U lense/cam that I know of. This just makes it harder for you the end user to make an informed decision.

What all the above means is Samsung is likely being less than honest to what's going on here. Typical Samsung bsing like a little kid rather than correctly explaining the blur difference between lens or stating their blur specs and tolerances. Samsung's QC doesn't seem very tight anymore. This is another indication of this.
I'm not impressed by Samsung's upper management; to be blunt, it sucks. You know what that means if true... nothing good.

Oh, I think we're talking about different topics here. You are probably referring to the banana shape issue in S23(+) camera, which is obviously an issue. Someone came to a service center in Vietnam and get a reply from the technician, telling him that replacing the camera or updating software did not solve the issue.

What I am talking about is the small wrinkle of the display panel in the bottom right corner of S23U, which is unrelated to the banana shape blur issue of S23(+).

My bad. I had forgotten about that one. Samsung was evasive about the defect as well.
The display should be perfect especially at this price point. Haven't seen this in person so it's hard to be sure exactly what it looks like.
Your call.
For the money in many ways the N10+ is a more capable phone and the build quality on the Snapdragon variant is excellent. That's my thought and is in line with what I want the phone's mission to be.

At this point I don't trust anything upper level Samsung management claims. They earned that distrust by multiple examples of disinformation and absurd rationalizations for their poor decisions. The full extent of the issues with the newest Samsung releases will take about a year to fully settle out and be realized.

mine doesn`t, but I have had 2 other S23 Ultras and they did, I just received my Lime 512gb Yesterday straight from Samsung, and it`s a newer build date than my other ones, since it was already had May update installed and the serial number shows it was manufactured last month.

My 512GB Graphite arrived yesterday. No flaw in the screen that I can see.

Lable on the box says "Made in Vietnam". EMEIChack says "Production Location: Korea SEC on 25-05-2023".

Which to believe?
