again light leak and bad manufacturing quality

[x10isrooted]

got today my S9 midnight black and its even worse than on the s8. light leak also on the bottom, additionally plus the light leak above front cam.

also dust in the frame of the fingerprint sensor.

oh samsung oh samsung.....

at least the stereo speakers are fantastic i have to say. display is also better balanced in white and color shift terms. not perfect but fine and acceptable but this light leaks are so annoying at evening during youtube.

I put the brightness at 100% in a dark room and I cannot see any light around the screen edges.

Is there a particular way to hold it?

you only need to go to settings with 100% brightness and it should be directly visible. maybe change slighlty the viewing angle but in my case this was not necessary. i have contacted samsung online shop now about this. hoping for a flawless unit.

If there's light leak it's almost certainly not water proof. Definite replacement.

I have a thread for the same issue. I have it down the sides of the device. In process of getting a replacement aswell. I'd suggest the same

That light "leak" is most likely because it's a curved glass... I'm pretty sure there is nothing Samsung can do about it except put black paint on the edge?? Which would look really tacky...

Also, you are showing it with high brightness is very low light environment... Something you would never do in real life... Wtf is your point?

My s9's earpiece crackles at medium-low volume, other than that i have no light bleed or dust anywhere. I already started the RMA process

i got same leak on top of front camera but very minimal and can see only one angle, it wont bother me, hope it wont effort water damage

I have only a little part on the front cam? can this injury waterproof resistance? can i get replaced?
It's not a big problem but if i can get replaced i will return it back from seller. I've never noticed this problem since i've seen this post.

becouse many of these devices have this minimal effect i think waterproof is fine still
