Galaxy S5: Small gap

[Bryan Eriksson]

Does anyone else have a small gap between the edge of the glass and the bezel at the top of their phone? Doesn't seem very dust resistant.

I checked. I do not.

Re: Small gap

I definitely have a gap on the bottom, it looks kinda like theres a tiny tiny tiny gap on the other 3 edges but I couldn't be sure. Definitely a small gap in the bottom however which has already collected dust. Is THIS something I should pursue a replacement for? I love this phone but there are like 3 things i've considered that could be faults in the week since I had it

I'm going to take it back to where I bought it and ask them. I'll keep you posted.

Re: Small gap

If had the gap, you also must keep it from water.

Re: Small gap

Despite the gap It doesn't look like it would affect th waterproofing of the phone, I will look at another one in the shop today and if mine is too bad I will ask them about it and let you guys know

Re: Small gap

here are two, sorry bad quality but i think you can see the gap. It is about 1/4 of a millimetre or perhaps a bit bigger

Re: Small gap

Are you referring to where it's darker black inside and lighter black on the outer ring?

I would say thats the design of the phone. Not sure on a while GS5. The glass goes from top to bottom no gaps for me.

Re: Small gap

Nah there is a minimal gap between the plastic bezel and the glass of the screen most noticeably on the bottom. Does anyone think this actually matters or not?

That would bother me if it was on mine. Has anyone else had the screen lift?

Re: Small gap

Well me and the guy who posted the thread makes two so i guess that's more than just one

I have emailed PHones 4 U and strongly suggested I should get a replacement, i am still within my 28 days and they usually reply really fast so hopefully tomorrow i'll get something back

Re: Small gap

my note 2 and s3 had this issue, looks ok, but if it bothers you, get it swapped

Re: Small gap

Bryan that's what mine is like too but my gap is smaller, about half that size i'd say. On the bottom not the top. I have decided that I am never going to risk the water proofness and as I have just installed a glass screen protector (Which are AWESOME by the way)

Re: Small gap

Hi all

I am taking mine back to the shop tomorrow and hopefully will receive a replacement. I looked at 4 different stores today and no devices had gaps. I was going to leave it but that was just because i'm lazy, but i am going to make sure I get a replacement now.

Re: Small gap

Hey Brian have you taken it back yet?

Re: Small gap

I got a replacement today. This one seems faster and the fingerprint scanner seems to work much better. Happy
