Anyone notice light bleeding from the sides?

1. Light doesn't 'bleed' on AMOLED screens. Bleeding light is when too much light comes in from behind the display from the backlight. AMOLEDs do not have a backlight because the screen itself is the light. What you guys are seeing is the natural refraction of light on a curved glass. The light gets refracted in more than 1 direction hence it looks like there is more light on the edge than the rest of the display.
2. Hence as long as you will be using an Edge screen, this will be something you will see. But it doesn't really deter from the experience because if you look at the screen head on, it's not apparent.

Yeah, it can't be bleed. I think too that it's inconsistencies in the brightness seen on the curve.

I dont know man i have the same problem and made some pictures.. see for yourself

We're saying that although the screen is physically impossible to bleed, we're not saying it doesn't look like that. Light bleed is when light is 'bleeding out' from behind the screen, despite the blocking created by the LCD, since LCD works by the pixels blocking the backlight. This can't happen on AMOLED because there is no backlight to bleed out. This is light refraction due to the curved screen. Causing the illusion of light bleeding. Hence, it's an inherent physical defect of the design and not something that can be fixed.

This isn't light bleed dude. It's an interesting phenomenon nonetheless.

Basically what you're seeing is where the light is meeting the end of the glass/start of the metal.

To show what I mean set your background to black and place only the google search widget on the home screen. Crack the brightness all the way up and then off any lights. Look at the edge of the phones and start to swipe toward another screen. You'll see that the area inclusive of the search box displays this phenomenon but the black parts stay black.

It's definitely not light bleed, it's just the way light diffuses through the glass and meets the metal frame. Kinda reminds me of optical fibres.

I see the same thing you're talking about on mine. But my eye doctor says that I have an absurdly good ability to notice slight visual differences.

Since AMOLED displays don't bleed light like LCDs, I'm starting to think that the light might be caused by internal reflection of light in the glass itself near the edges of the display because of the curvature. A case should cover it up just fine.
