Flip 7 - screen imperfection/sensor or dodgy screen protector?

[Jamsterdm]

It's finally here!! Spigen case on, smart switch transfer started but I've now noticed this on the screen, almost directly under the camera. Does anyone else see it on theirs? 

Don't think it's an air bubble as can't always see it, odd tho 😞 and now I've noticed it, I can't unnotice it.

Hey, I cant help you on this but I also have that at the Same Spot. Already started arguing with my provider for an exchange unit. Does Samsung know what that ist? Something like a brightness Sensor?

I checked a demo unit in Samsung today and also has it so assume it's brightness sensor or something

Hey, thank you for you quick reply. Than I believe its normal and try to stick with that.

[Jamsterdm]

Yeah think it's normal, normal but annoying!

I just noticed this item on my screen this morning.  I was holding my Flip Z under bright light to clean the screen with a damp towel.  I then noticed the same faint circle that you see.  However, I had to hold my screen at a certain angle in bright light to see it.  The circle has to be associated with some sort of sensor (e.g., a brightness sensor).  It is not a defect.  Both our phones are brand new, and they both have this circle in the same size and location.

Glad it's not just me

Mine arrived today with the same visible sensor. It's a defect according to customer service. I'm sending it back for replacement.

Ah sheeeeeeet. Maybe I'll have a chat with them, only causes an issue when looked at with no screen on and bright light above it.

My colleague got hers this week, and it didn't have the visible sensor. So yeah, it's not a normal thing. Even if it doesn't show any other issues now, it might cause some in the future. It literally feels like a soft spot on the screen.
