S22 rear flash glowing through the edges

[KR15H]

Anyone with a new s22, if you turn on your torch in the dark and cover it, do you see light leaking through the edge or did i get a faulty product?

I've seen in the past where some Samsung models of phone's have had light bleed which if I remember rightly was down one of the edges.

Some had it and some didn't.

I have a Samsung Black Leather Back Case on all my phone's so even though my phone's didn't have this issue the use of a case resolved this issue for some.

It's the way the phone has been constructed inthe factory maybe.

I have the Samsung Galaxy s²² Ultra and am not seeing this on mine. I appreciate my phone is a different model of s²² to yours.

If this isn't affecting the overall use of the phone and it's features then I'd this was my phone I wouldn't be worried / concerned.

I wish you all the best.

This is the light bleed from my phone

[BandOfBrothers]

Yes that's similar to what I've seen in the past.

If your worried then look at any relevant cooling off period to return the phone but there is no guarantee the next will have no bleed.

What is the IP rating on the S22? If there's light bleed then dust or water can get in

[BandOfBrothers]

The water resistance is built inside the frame / housing creating the barrier @antikythera 

The Samsung Galaxy s²² is "IP68 dust/water resistant (up to 1.5m for 30 mins)"

The light bleed is shining through thats all.

@KR15H else do pop into a Samsung Experience Store or Samsung Service Centre if your again concerned.

Shining through the back? That's insanely thin then 😲

[KR15H]

No it's just that the rear glass isnt sitting well, tried jamming my nail under it and I couldn't, the ip68 rating still holds up, used it in the shower multiple times

Either way, that build quality isn't really acceptable in a smartphone that's meant to be the Rolls Royce experience. It wouldn't be something I could put up with and nor should you or anyone else but that is your call at the end of the day. There's plenty of other options out there from manufacturers who still give a cr4p about build quality
