Well this has turned to garbage. Samsung processed one of the returns, and someone at FedEx stole the phone out of the box. Thankfully Samsung sends videos, but this is a ridiculous hassle now.

I ended up returning both of the 512GB graphite ultra's I got, and ordered a regular black 256. The new one still has a very slight ripple, but nothing near what the others were, and is acceptable.

You can see these easily with the naked eye, no bright light needed.

This is not a tolerance issue. This is a manufacturing defect.

Screen. It just looks like a shadow like the curved parts of the screen. Just a shade darker. I'm actually really disappointed, because I wasn't a big fan of the S22 ultra, but so far really, really liked the S23U.

One small update. I got around to setting up the replacement I received on Monday, and the defect is visible with the screen on. It appears as a shadow, just like the curved edges of the screen. Some may be willing to tolerate it (more power to you), but its going to bother me so the new one is...

Which at this point means losing a free storage upgrade.

I wish the regular colors came with the matte aluminum frame. It looks really nice on this design.

Probably because of the EU and the rules being much more strict for consumer rights there.

These are mass-produced. The fact that some have it and some don't mean that, by definition, this is a flaw. If it was not a flaw, either all would have it, and it was intended to be so, or none would. Whether it affects the long-term reliability of the screen is unknown, since these devices...

But their response then begs the question: Are the phones that don't have it defective since they claim that its supposed to be that way? Samsung is terrible at handling these things

Yeah I just don’t know. Only reason I may just live with it is because of the free storage upgrade on the preorder.

My new one also has it. Now I’m debating whether to just return everything and wait a while

Same, my replacement comes tomorrow.

All the Ultras at Best Buy had it. The black one as not as bad as the others.
