Weird issue at top corner of screen

Got this Z-Flip for my wife for Christmas.  She loves the phone and no problems so far.

 

But other other day we noticed this issue at the top left corner.  At first I thought it was maybe a crack.  But on closer inspection it looks like a wire or something has creeped down from the case onto the corner of the screen.

 

Anyone seen this before?  Is warranty service all I can do?  If so do I have to send the phone off to Samsung with no substitute to use while it's gone?

 

Thanks for the help!

they left my wife who is extremely vulnerable without a phone for 4 weeks while I went out to work since I'm a key worker. so for 8 hours a day she was alone with no means of contact with anyone..Samsung knew this and didn't care..what's worse her phone was a note 20 ultra their so called flagship and the screen died after 4 months ...Samsung don't give a monkeys...they just eat them

Just to update this thread, my Z-flip eventually developed the dreaded screen crack at the fold point.  I called Samsung service about doing a warranty repair.  They initially suggested I send it to a local store for repairs but I insisted on sending directly to Samsung.  They sent a prepaid shipping label and off it went.  Within a few weeks they sent me a brand new Z-flip so I was able to get the crack and the strange issue at the corner taken care of at the same time.  So far no issues with the new phone - fingers crossed.  I was not charged for the replacement.  I know a lot of folks have had problems with Samsung service but it worked out well for me.
