Hey Guys, while I was watching something on the Netflix last night, spotted some hazy areas on the NEX and when I cross checked the same video on my Note 8, it was just fine on the Note 8. So, it was a pretty bad light leak on the NEX. I have put up a video of the same on the link below. check it out and also uploading an image of the same. Please let me know if anyone of you have this issue.

To spot it, go to a dark room and download a dark grey image and view it in the full screen at full brightness. Also attaching the image that i used for testing.

Well it’s not only note 8 but also presented at Galaxy s8/s9 series.
I’ve noticed too at my S9 plus unit that got earlier April.

Simple you’ve got used and live to that as there’s no other solution even getting replacement device or replace screen there’s no warranty will be free of that kind of issues.

There’s details review from Anandtech to that issue presented as I said Galaxy S9 series.

Take a look over here as I assume Vivo Nex also using AMOLED display from Samsung.

Only my OP5T does not show that issue with dark scenes at low light level brightness.

Well im just saying with above post that's those issue are common with AMOLED panel.
You can try your luck by replacement either whole device with new one or go service and being replaced by new panel

But as i said there is no warranty new device or panel will not have the same issue:fingers-crossed:

It's your personal choise what going to do:)

That's a shame. Because, I have had the note 8 for the last 9 months and luckily have had no issues. And I yeah I don't think the replacement is going to help, but just giving it a try and hoping I get a good panel :)

My Vivo NEX viewing angle not Good. If I see the screen straight (90*) screen looking something yellowish if I change the viewing angle a little it became cool white. Is it screen problem or display

Viewing angles on my phone looks pretty good. Yes there will be a slight shift of colour, but that happens on all the phones. So, I don't think it should be an issue unless its really bad on yours.

Thanks for reply, I noticed this problem when the whole screen in white colour only. I could not notice when screen filled with any other colours or images

I just tried your posted image I didn't notice any bleed. Sucks you must have gotten a bad panel. GL on the replacement let us know how it goes.
