Can confirm that every Galaxy S23 Ultra unit in this store (all demo units and my unit) has this “defect” on the bottom right of the *display*.
It has that weird look and I’m not even sure where it’s a defect or just Samsung itself messing up. pic.twitter.com/4qqv46kRt8

At $1,200, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is a very expensive device, so users have every right to be alarmed about the screen distortion issue.


In short, while the bottom corners of the Galaxy S23 Ultra may lead you to believe that the product is defective, it is not. In most cases, you have to look closely or shine to notice the problem, and some users don’t mind.
The screen is made up of many different layers of components pressed together to protect it from water and dust. The refraction of light can cause the screen to appear distorted.
The display panel is composed of many layers of components, including surface-tempered glass, which is directly covered on the display panel. It adopts a waterproof/dustproof structural design, which can effectively prevent the ingress of foreign objects or liquids. All Samsung products have passed strict internal quality controls. The screen panel is a component that consists of several components (surface tempered glass, dustproof, waterproof layer…), Under strong light, lines after light refraction can be seen at certain angles. This is a normal phenomenon and does not affect the function and service life of the product, feel free to use it.
