I was wondering if anyone else has seen what I am experiencing on my AT&T Samsung GS6 Edge. In fact, this is my 3rd GS6 Edge and all were procured from the same AT&T store. My first one had the exact same issue as my 3rd and my 2nd one had a dead pixel near the left edge of the display.

The effect is predominantly located on the bottom half of the display but there are some "stains", "marks", "specks" (not really sure what to call it) on the top half of the display as well. Out of the box, it did not have these marks and gradually they are becoming worse. In direct sunlight, it is extremely visible and almost makes it impossible to make out the screen/picture below the white/discoloration of these stains/marks. There is also a very concentrated area of these on the bottom half.
Check this out...I am beginning to wonder if I caused this? I am not quite sure. It is definitely behind the glass...

For what it's worth, I've never seen this on my regular GS6. I haven't seen this type of behavior on my Tmobile GS6. I know the original batch of the Tmobile GS6 Edge devices had some swirls / QC issues. Maybe AT&T has something similar? Suprising that it's happened on multiple devices.
 
Here are some better pictures...Has anyone else seen this happen to their screen/display? It is driving me nuts...After some research, all I was able to find were issues with the circular scratches straight out of the box and the pinkish tones from the AMOLED display. Nothing like what I am experiencing. IMG_1654.jpgIMG_1655.jpg
 
I had the same issue with my phone with less than 1 week of usage. It's just annoying especially under sunlight. Did AT&T replaced the phone at no charge? I will bring mine to the store to get it replace.
 
It looks look the adhesive that bonds the curved display to the gorilla glass is bubbling. There were a ton of people reporting this on early models assembled in Vietnam I think it was. I think Samsung traced it back to assembly quality control issues if I'm not mistaken.
