Is this normal XZ3 build quality?

Image tells it all:

Light coming thru between screen and body.

Is my new phone still dust and water resistant?

Should i take it back to store?

I came to this site to seek support from Sony and first support what i found was "ask from other users" so here i am.

not sure but this looks like light is bleeding from the back of device.

I know it's hard to show, but is it possible to point where exactly light coming out?

So you cant see that picture?

sorry, maybe I wasn't clear.

the photo is so dark that I can't really see where light is coming out or the angle of device.

so I'd just like to see the whole device under bright light. I know we can't see the bleeding in this case but if it's taken with the same angle, I can see where the light comes from.

Picture shows it clearly.

Is ti about the thin line of light right under screen (upper) or blurred light below?

Yes. Light comes thru between glass and aluminium body.

You'll probably find that the light isn't leaking between the glass and aluminium, but is just the edge of the curved glass.

Oled panels only put light out of the pixels, facing forward, so there isn't any light to bleed through the frame if there was a gap.

Hi @Jeremu; like @Viridis said I suppose in Oled displays there is no light under the display to come out, I think that what you are seeing and what the picture is showing is the reflection of the display edge light on the metallic frame.

There is no same kind of bleed with my S8 or S9+. Does someone else have this kind of bleed with XZ3?
