Light Bleed

[ShizuruShu]

Hi. My newly replaced z3 has issue on the sides where the gaps are visible. When i turned off the lights in my room, i notice that there are lights coming out from the gaps. Located at the left and right side od my device. Is it a defect? I do not have that kind of light bleed on my second z3.

If I were you I'd return my device to the place of purchase or visit a retail unit that has display units and check - If they are different and you feel that your device is defective then you need to either return your device to the place of purchase or contact Xperia care and have it inspected http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/

Just as i thought. This is my third replacement and still not good enough. Thanks for your quick responce.

They all have it. its a design flaw. you can keep replacing it a thousand times. but it will never be as it should. The screen is just pretty poor.

not true at all. Many people have purchased a z3 with production problems that everyone knows (gaps between the glass and the screen lights from the gaps, corners glued incorrectly) while many others have received a perfect one ... so it is not true that all are like that. .. from XDA forum and the Italian one that I am actively following, which is emerging from the week 14w39 and up, many users are receiving good Z3S. We'll see what happens (I'm still waiting to buy one again z3, the first received I returned it due to these defects ...)

My fourth replacement. Has flickering screen. 14w43. Its like my second z3. Flickering like static like tv without signal. And flickering turning screen to pink or blue. Random too. I am so tired having it replaced over and over again. I gave up on sony. This is my last.

like i said its no use. the light bleed is the least of your problem! I had 3 Z3's so far and all of them have more then 3 dead pixels on the screen, werent waterproof or had a bad camera.

I really wished i had chosen the samsung note 4...  this is for sure my last Sony smartphone!

Sony isnt listening also. Netflix audio lag is there more then a year. and my keyboard on the z3 has terrible lag. bluetooth disconnects when the wifi signal is low. all that kind of garbage. why the feck isnt sony fixing these issues!
