dead pixel or dead pixels or soft ware issue?

[bigpapa7272]

So I tried to make a phone call today and I put it on speakerphone and when making the call to the right of the camera there's a few pixels making A-line that flashes. It only does it in the phone app and not with other apps..

Is that normal??

It's the proximity sensor. It's supposed to do that.

Yeah, use a BT headset or plug in the included AKG earbuds. Otherwise, nope.
