It is a very common problem. You can keep exchanging it until you get a perfect one if it bugs you.

I personally would get a replacement unit if it was purchased new

From the look of your picture, it would seem only the one side has a gap. Are you sure the bottom is all the way in? I would try and remove the battery and re-seat the whole thing giving it a firm push on the left side to make sure it clicks into place. If it still doesn't and has the gap, I would return it.

That gap looks bigger than any other i have ever seen. Hmm is the battery all the way in? Try to push it a little to see if its all the way in. Otherwsie, i suggest to exchange it.

It's normal. If it's like the gap that i have, you only see it if you try to see it. I have on the left corner too. Can't see it when it's in a case.

I had the same issue, I knew this default and asked to change it the day one, I had a new one (perfect) the day after.
So yes, you should change it asap, for a "premium" phone you will regret.

Have it replaced immediately. That's the only solution.

 

[AdamRahman]

Yeah, common problem. I opened the box before I left the store to check because I knew it'd annoy the hell out of me. Get a replacement for sure.

 

[mozza54]

It should sit perfectly flush, maybe give it a push and see if it clicks in (the connector on mine was a bit stiff at first)

Otherwise, back to the shop I reckon.

thank's guys for your reply. Already exchanged my phone. The new one is way better.

You should see my G5. Warped bottom from the phone piece, gap on one side of the phone, one side is higher than the other, screen and back are oval shaped, you name it.

Get that returned while you still can, and a warning from someone who has, do, not, drop, this, phone. It started to really mess up the build. Mine has started rattling from the battery being loose inside, a bit of electrical tape fixed it but janky albeit.

weird fact is that I have 0 quality defects right from the start

Yeah, it's a common problem for it to not line up quite right, but you shouldn't be able to see light through it. Mine lines up pretty well.
