As we have had a myriad of issues since the launch of the device I am curious as to what the production date of your device is. I'm also wondering if there is a direct correlation with an earlier/later date than mine and if there are any build quality issues. My production date (located on the box) is 3/28/2016 and was purchased on T-Mobile's website [4Apr16] which I understand from one of the guys at @TmobileHelp on twitter that the batch you order from the website is different from the batch that the 'Brick and Mortar' stores get. Could explain some of the spotty build quality issues. My phone currently has no issues (no light bleed/green tint on display/large gap at bottom of phone/antenna bands visible near camera), although it does get warm when charging.

Bought mine in T-Mobile store and its Production date is 3/27/2016. It has no apparent flaws.

What do the first 3 digits of the serial number say..

if they followed the same naming convention as the G4

03 2016 should be 603

04 2016 will be 604

is this correct ?
