AC Question

so i got my samsung galaxy s7 about 5 days ago and the first problem that shoved up was thah when i caled someone it made a beeping noise then i reseted it and it worked fine but today i spoted litle black dots on the capacitive keys and they work normaly but idk it just bothers me but at the same time i dont want to take it back and wait another 3-4 weeks
 
Welcome to Android Central! What do you mean by little black dots? Do you mean that there seem to be gaps in the backlight? Is it only an aesthetic problem?

no so its like small black dots on the inside of the capacitive keys and i tried cleaning it but i dont know maybe its dead pixels
 
The capacitative buttons are translucent markings with a backlight, so it can't be dead pixels. Can you take a picture and show us?

so i tried to take a picture and its so tiny that u cant see it so maybe its dirt or something under the screen and is it posible that it spreads on the screen like dead pixels?
 
Can you confirm that you're talking about the hardware capacitative buttons below the actual screen of a Samsung Galaxy S7? It just sounds like you're asking about onscreen navigation softkeys, which the S7 wouldn't have.

Assuming you don't notice any stain or residue on the surface of the capacitative buttons (e.g., an ink stain), then it's probably some dust or debris under the glass. Not sure what you can do about that.
