The other day, was charging my Note8 with my wireless charger and saw the reflection of the fluorescent light from above off the screen to have round curves. Looked closer and noticed 2 very small dents on the screen glass. Doesn't looked like crack and definitely did not drop my phone. Anyone else having similar issues?

You are not alone. Mine also have a small "dent", which is located at the very bottom bezel. And I can assure you, that, it's not a screen problem. In fact, the small dent is a defect on the oleophobic coating. From what I read from other forums, it seems that the first batch of Note 8 has issues on its oleophobic coating. Some have small dents, some have weird marks, some surface are not even.

According to tech reviewer Erica Griffin, she did hear some complaints on the internet where some Note 8 have similar issue. She claimed that Gorilla Glass 5 is the one to be blamed on this case.

I am sure some users in here would have similar issue on this. But they probably won't notice it at all since it's not easy to spot on.


As for me, it's indeed annoying to look at. And I am a bit disappointed to know that such a silly issue would happened on an expensive premium device. However, since the dent is located at the bottom bezel, plus it's difficult to notice unless there's a light reflection. So I decided to ignore it. Afterall, it doesn't affect my usage at all.

Yes that is the one. Looks exactly like that

then maybe it won't show like that if the receiver not updated with this functionality yet, i guess

Anyone tried Alarm feature > bixby briefing, Anyway can change setting from F to degree C, how to update/content of the news, currently the news repeating the same old news. My weather app all showing C just the briefing still reading F.

now samsung come out batch 3....should be ok i guess..thats why i never buy on first batch... il go for 2nd

So far I used mine no problems. Only sometimes data slow. Haha.. screen issue also nothing so far. All okay. Haha.. I guess it's just some units only.

I bought from them a month ago..
But the package is lost.
They promised to resend again to me.
Another month of waiting I guess.
