OMG let me guess you'll demand for green??? Damn!!!@
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] demmo81:
Yes I wanted the green actually .... let's see hopefully they will have it
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] avenging:
The filipina in city center samsung shop told me the green will come in a month or 2 but maybe Dubai has stock good luck with that
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] AnubuRe:
Mayby that was his way of telling you he knows the green ones are a newer batch that Samsung have made sure the quality is now correct.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] demmo81:
I'm I'm not sure if they have it in bahrain yet or not maybe will come later but usually they have stock in Dubai if I got another black but no scratches which I doubt as all of them same batch I'll inform them I'll not exchange now I'll wait for the new batch to come otherwise I'll take the regular S6

If they agreed I'll wait till they get the new batch .... and I'll tell them email me that u approved as agreed so they will not change their words
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Kur0ya:
what if its too long and you lose the right to switch?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] demmo81:
Then let the war begins ......

I have the right to get the phone or replace it or refund the full amount of they didn't agree on this. We have a court here and let it be ..... social media attack because it's my right ....I paid 1000$ I deserve a good flawless device .

My AT&T SE6 Edge story

On April 8th I received my new edge. Delivered by USPS Priorty mail left at my door. No signiture required. Very unusual as all my others always came FEDX signiture required.

When I opened the box I had no expections so I did the flashlight test and all was okay. I then went to all the different lighting in the house and looked at all angles again. Nothing. then went to the window with the same result nothing.

I did't go in the sunlight as with the screen in use I could not see it anyway.

I have used it and got finger smudges all over it. I wiped it with a proper cleaning cloth and looked it over again. Still good.

The box does not have the build date or any other information.

I am very fussy about the screen on any phone I buy and am very satisfied with the phone I received. It was covered in a sleave.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Gizmoe:
Aside from the hairline scratches that some just don't see, wait til you see the anomalies in the glass in sunlight. It's rather unsettling.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] demonwind:
No need for a microscope. Just go out in the sun and view from different angles.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] eduardmc:
well i got my black saphire from tmobile store this april 10th. 64gb version. i read this thread before going so i checked to see if there were any scratches on device. I didn't see any and was so happy, a few hours later walking in direct sun light took out my phone to see the screen full of micro scratches like a spiro effect. plus el big abnomally line only visible in direct sunlight.

Now i'm a guy that love cold temp screen, hated the nexus 6 screen for its warm temp screen yellowish white. This phone has a fairly good whiter white than what i have seen in pic other are getting. Now i'm debating to exchange, this is something that i dont care much and probably would have not notice it but now only because of this thread. Might Get a better device but i also take the risk on loosing the cold temp screen and ending with a warm yellowish white temp screen. :(
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Mosh83:
I am rather sorry I ever read about the scratches. When you get a 1000EUR phone you really want to ENJOY it and not be ocd about it.

I put a message to my provider so if I get a replacement sometime, fine. But as it is, I am soooo super happy with everything, the phone works so well and scratches can't be seen when the screen is on. So I am just enjoying what I have. I recommend you do the same! Life is too short.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] trekage:
I'm starting to notice on recent unboxing videos that people have a sticker on their box that states "A $50.00 restocking fee applies when returning this device." I have to ask, does this fee still apply if you are returning your device because it has scratches or some sort of defect?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Kur0ya:
can you show me a video like this? I've seen a few but nothing like that? I'm sure it all depends on the retailer and their terms and conditions you accepted when you paid them… :(
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] demonwind:
This depends on the carrier, for example AT&T is $35. And does the fee apply, that depends on how much of a fuss you make in store.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] trekage:
youtube. com/watch?v=TpdSFG5tLow (remove the space after the ".", I'm a new user and I can't post links yet) this is one of a few that I've seen. If you go on instagram and look at the pictures tagged #GalaxyS6 you will also see many boxes with the sticker on them. As you can see in the video it is from T-Mobile so I'm really hoping this isn't because of the defective models that are getting returned.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] demonwind:
Applies to all phones, restocking fees are not a new concept and have been in place long before S6 was launched.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] trekage:
Okay, good to know. But would these fees still apply if you are returning the device due to a scratched screen?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] crumble6:
I think I just reassured myself. I've just shone a 6000 lumens torch at my 2.5 year old HTC and discovered loads of scratches I've never seen before, similar to the radial ones on your guys' S6Es. Now I have never used a case, carry keys/coins in same pocket, and have dropped it countless times, which is no doubt the cause; however, they are only noticeable when the reflection of the torch off the screen is directly towards my eyes, which is pretty unbearable. If the sun was reflecting straight into my eye, I'd simply move the phone to a different angle, which is probably why I've never never noticed them before. I too will be pissed if my brand spanker has the same scratches, but I reckon I will put up with it. Unless, of course, there's any hairlines. Fingers crossed.

EDIT: Following on from my previous post about trying to polish the scratches out with toothpaste - it did nothing for the ones on my HTC. Saying that, it no further damage either.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] gunslingerfry:
Just rub it in Best Buy.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] duckdude555:
Has anyone experienced scratches with the gold/green colors? After keeping up with this thread (65 pages now!), no one has really commented on the gold and I don't know of that's cause there's no scratches on them or just few people have them. I'm due to get mine from Verizon early next week, but I thought other carriers had them in stock earlier.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] VICosPhi:
Pretty sure it's because few people have them. I think the circular spider scratches are on all edge phones. The hairline scratches and bubbles etc are present on only some of them.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] lawtq:
No I've not seen one edge with these nasty scratches yet. Many on here don't have scratches, I think it's the minority that have them.

Home button scratches, deep, shallow, dust under some screens, sloppy manufacturing it seems.... I hope

I get my gold edge 64gb tomorrow, so I'll let you know, you could be right
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] VICosPhi:
Good luck! Hoping you get a scratch free one :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Kur0ya:
*People who had no scratches on screen*

are you putting a screen protector on? the videos kinda persuade me its not needed but then how did the scratch gate happen? :/
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Mosh83:
The spiderweb scratches are under the screen, you can't feel with your fingernail.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Kur0ya:
ohh ok. so there is no need of screen protector but case would be advisable to provide some/any protection vs drops?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jamfitz86:
I don't think this is the case..... You can't feel them because they are very shallow. I'll see if I can get in image of them through a microscope before I send the phone back today.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jah:
I have a one of the few non wet options that covers the whole screen, from Healing Shield. But I have the matt version which affects the clarity of the screen too much. Now thinking of going commando.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Sbdro:
I talked to tmobile about this fee and they said that they were going to waive it

For me, so you should try talking to your carrier if you get the fee
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jamfitz86:
Here we go. I couldn't crop it easily unfortunately.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] skivnit:
So it is just the edge since no one reported anything in the regular s6 Forums

Sent from my SM-G900F
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Cr4z33:
I am getting my Edge into a week or so, therefore could you please tell me how did you take that picture? :eek:

Is that a magnifying glass or?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Kur0ya:
wow. amazing. thats definitely not the back. maybe try make scratch using key and see if it comes up? then send it back :D the youtube tests show nothing and say its unscratchable…
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jamfitz86:
Using an inspection microscope for PCBs similar to this: http://www.visioneng.com/products/stereo-microscopes/mantis-compact-visual-inspection-microscope then I took a picture of it with my S3.

I've sent it back now as I didn't see much point in trying to scratch it myself. Anything is scratchable it just depends what you use to scratch it. My argument is that this is not hand polished or damaged in transit it is a machine finish or an appallingly made die for making the glass. There is no doubt in my mind that this is a defect. If phone reviewers had received this they would have commented on it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Kur0ya:
so you don't believe the product sheet by corning?http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/...Corning Gorilla Glass 4_PI Sheet_011415_D.PDF

will you keep screen protectors on the phone? saw one youtube where guy was going at it with a knife, zero VISABLE scratches on the glass…
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] shockandawe:
So far, out of all the threads and reports that I have read, it is just on the Edge, and the Black sapphire at that... someonecorrect me if another color is included.

I've see users on AT&T (mine) , and Verizon and T-mobile all have reported the problem.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] eyc:
Whoa. That's really cool, but more importantly, very telling of how significant this issue really is. There are hundreds, if not thousands of scratches all over the glass. Wtf kind of quality control is this? This is embarrassing.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jamfitz86:
EE have been on the phone to me today to apologise for the problem (I submitted a complaint online) and they told me they have made the Supplier Manager for Samsung aware of the issue, hopefully they will now implement some additional QC or something.... hopefully at least they will start to get Samsung to fess up to this as a known issue.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] duckdude555:
If the scratches are below the surface then it has nothing to do with the Guerrilla Glass coating and the glass itself
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jegley23:
In Malaysia the green color isavailable but exclusive only to Maxis Telco
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] demmo81:
Ok guys so I went to Samsung shop today and I checked 4 black edges all of them scratched and Samsung said it's from the polishing and as long as u don't see it with the naked eye with normal lighting conditions it's fine.. they r bs me.... anyhow I check 2 whites and both are flawless guys I sent with the white edge and I checked everything believe me . I recommend that I go for the white ones they don't have this scratches issues at all. I checked inside swing service Center today imagine that. ...

---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ----------

Not even one scratch on the white one I got and I checked the screen colors all good and I compare it with the black one as well.. again I recommend u get the white no scratches.. I tjink they are doing them in 2 separate factories but both in the same country ....
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] kobezklutch:
Hi all, just wanted to give everyone a heads up on my situation. I had ordered a phone from Tmobile (32gb, black edge) with very minor scratches on the screen. Only after reading this thread and then checking my phone did I even realize I had scratches. This was after 2 days of use. Anyway, I called tmobile, informed them of the issue, and after a little bit of polite haggling, was able to convince them to give me an upgrade to a 64gb version for my troubles! I paid for the new phone normally but received a $100 credit on my phone bill to cover the upgrade and "next day" shipping.

PS, new phone came in scratch free (black edge, 64gb) :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] WCM3:
Have you noticed LCD bumps on the black ones as well? I bought one friday from Verizon and another today from Best Buy and they both have LCD bumps on the screen in daylight. Inside you can't see a thing, not even the scratches but the bumps in the light really bother me.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] lawtq:
Got my gold 64gb edge today. Nice. Almost perfect screen but there's one very minor scratch diagonally across the screen, took me ages to find, cant even see it in pics at all. I'll keep it... Only If I prefer this over my standard s6. Already prefer holding the standard but this one's screen is intriguing
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] eyc:
What locations are selling gold now? I thought we had to wait until May.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] elmalote:
2 x Black 32GB bought at Three Denmark, both have scratches.

One of them even has a screen panel defect only visible when when inspecting it for scratches. It has a straight line where it looks like the screen has a a curve vertically from top to bottom. The curve has rainbow colors. The guy at the shop said Samsung is under pressure from high demands and probably slacking on quality to produce more devices per day, resulting in poor manufacturing.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] demmo81:
The white one I got is flawless I recommend u go for the white ones guys
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] avenging:
The gold is flat out beautiful
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] lawtq:
O2 uk have them in abundance it seems

And agreed it is beautiful
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] dk_iceman:
bought Black s6 Edge 32 GB today in Denmark so now i have both s6 and s6 edge.

S6 Edge is PERFECT no scratches or anything visible under close inspection under heavy direkt light in the shop today.

But the first one I unpacked in the shop didn't have scratches, but the Amoled screen under the glass had some large bumps, not visible screen turned on but, turn it off and it looked like crap...
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] MrBeetle:
Sprint 64 GB gold, one minor scratch that doesn't bother me in the least. And I looked hard for it. Battery life is as expected with initial setup and playing.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] OnlinePez:
Took mine out in direct sunlight for a good 2mins trying hard to find these scatches etc that other people posted. I don't see anything on the screen that shouldn't be there. Couldn't find any scratches or anomalies on the screen.

Screen seems perfect so far, hopefully no dead pixels as I don't want to exchange it and end up with a bad one.

64GB White version form Vodafone Australia.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] demonwind:
Unlikely color makes a difference.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] nyknight77:
I got scratches! Huge swirls all over the screen. So mad right now. I love Samsung but this crap is unacceptable! Will call to get a replacement.

Question, if I decide to get a refund, would I still be out the restocking fee even though the phone is defective?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mitico303:
which color?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] nyknight77:
128gb Black
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Kur0ya:
S6 Edge 64gb Gold-Platinum: No scratches, immaculate. No samsung branding except the british postcode. Was only one sticker on the security mark is this is an European model as I got some warning sticker i had to cut to get the phone out of the box

I shone LED on it, went outside in the sunshine. i also used a canon SLR flashlight, nothing, just blinded me on reflection
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] demmo81:
White and gold way to go I guess
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Mosh83:
Alright so I took mine to the Samsung service point. It is a defect caused during the polishing phase of production.

I am getting the screen swapped out for a new one, covered by the warranty. I am actually hopeful this is better than exchanging it to a second possibly scratched screen, since there will obviously be different quality control because that is the very reason it is being serviced.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] nate1280:
32GB black edge from Bell Canada, showed up scratched. Actually has a couple long scratches on the screen that can be felt.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] WRichieX:
3rd ones the charm. I just received my 3rd s6 edge in sapphire black and no scratched. Whoo hoo!!!!!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jonathan3579:
Am I just being too damn picky? They opened the phone and sent me the one on the right. I'm still not happy...

Edit: If you don't see it, there's issues with colors on the bottom right corner of the right phone that I don't have on my original left phone.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Jooosty:
Yeah that's bad . Left phone is Def better
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] inkrededibles:
Nice! Though why anyone would want to get the 32 GB version boggles my mind, since Samsung shoved in a lot of non-removable bloatware in a non-microSD slot included phone.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] altenae:
For me 32 GB is enough !!

Not everyone has the same needs,
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jonathan3579:
Thanks for that! I need confirmation that I wasn't just going crazy or being unnecessarily picky here, lol.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] kobezklutch:
Came from an htc one m7 with 32gb and no sd card slot, and it was never an issue. That being said, 64gb is more than welcome!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] speedy2721:
I just got my 32Gb Black Edge replacement from Tmobile and it is just as scratched as the first one. My first one was made on 3-19 and the new one was made on 3-31, both in Vietnam.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] dtblair24:
Another person here that get's along just fine with 32GB. Guess Google successfully converted me to the cloud lol

But I am scared to look hard for these scratches. I hate playing the return/exchange game because I swear no two devices are alike. Always find some difference or discover another issue
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] duckdude555:
I may be missing something, but am I correct in assuming that the majority (if not all) effected phones are Black? And by effected I mean the circular scratches visible in direct light, not any general individual hairline scratches
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] demmo81:
True I was at Samsung service center here and I checked like 4 black ones all scratched 2 white ones are flawless and also the gold was ok but I didn't like rhe gold color on the phone so I went with the white one ...flawless
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] coojoe1000:
Received my replacement Galaxy s6 Edge yesterday. I opted for a white to replace my black hoping that it wouldn't be scratched. Apparently it was a good choice, the white one is perfect. So glad. Now I can move on.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] skinneejay:
It has to be the black color. 3 of my black units had scratches and my wife's white unit is flawless, my buddies and his wife's was white and perfect also. I will be getting a white or gold version next. I am not playing the exchange game again.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] netnerd:
my att s6 gold edge 64gb just delivered !

the phone comes with a plastic film covering the screen, does your ?

it also comes with wired headset.

I turn on room light and use NoteEdge flashlight, don't see or noticed any scratches !

phone made in Korea.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] EnIXmA:
It's funny how people are getting paranoid by "scratches",and getting replacements one after the other.. if any of you guys owned a nexus 4 or xperia 4, then you might remember the screen showing digitizer lines in very bright light.. the lines on edge are also in a spider Web pattern, and are only visible in very bright light hitting the screen directly.. I was never annoyed by the lines on the n4 and z2, since it never effected the viewing in normal conditions.. I don't think there would be any s6 edge that won't have these lines, and the 30% of the people in the poll have not tested their device in very bright conditions with the light hitting on the screen directly.

I am not going to waste time by sending the device for replacement. .

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy s6 Edge
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jamfitz86:
With all due respect you're talking out your arse. The scratches are significant, not on all devices and visible in all lighting conditions. I spotted the defect within seconds of opening the product and i was in an office with no natural light sources. Sorry but you're wrong.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] eyc:
Good for you. Problem is, if you had read any of this thread or the XDA article, you'd know this is not the standard manufacturing gridlines on the digitizer. These are actual scratches caused by buffing. And you'd know that many users are seeing the scratches in ordinary day-to-day use conditions. Anyway, I trust you won't be "wasting time" hanging around this forum and responding since you think people are just being paranoid and you're just above it all. Lol.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] elmalote:
This is random scratches, actual scratches. In random patterns. Not caused by the panel or digitizer.

You should read a few posts before writing nonsense. We are not new to phones, so don't you think we would have known if this was normal patterns from the digitizer?

Honestly...
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] coojoe1000:
If you had spent anytime reading any of the posts before yours, you would have realized the comment you were about to make was pretty stupid before posting. SCRATCHES are not grid lines and the fact that many people (Myself included) do not see the issue on the replacement handset they were sent proves that obviously something was wrong. Although the swirl marks/scratches did not necessarily bother me indoors, knowing that the integrity of the glass may have been compromised in some way warrants a replacement in my book. Keep your phone, don't waste your time (That's your right) but trying to downplay an issue that has been confirmed many times over just comes off uneducated and makes you seem desperate for attention. Well you got it....Congrats. The attached photos show more than just a swirl, there are very clear scratches that are straight and cover the home button as well. (guess that's the home buttons digitizer right?? lol ) Do everyone a favor and think/read before you post.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Duna92:
A bit off-track here but I got the 32 GB version of the S6 Edge and I don't even mind the fact that it doesn't have a microSD card slot. I owned a 16 GB Nexus 5 before and had storage to spare 'cause I have about 200 GB of cloud-based storage. So I think 128 GB on a phone is just overkill for me but I understand that there are people who really need that kind of storage on their phone.

I think Samsung should upgrade your phones to a bigger storage capacity version if you've had to change your device many times because of scratches (at least if it's a manufacturing problem). That price difference would be trivial to Samsung but it would be really good customer service.
