Samsung Galaxy S6’s Display Might Be Facing Some Issues

The Samsung Galaxy S6 is the latest handset to be announced by Samsung and while we loved the handset in our review of it, it seems that there might be some problems with the handset that a simple software update can’t fix. According to a report from G For Games, they cite another report from South Korea which claims that there are hardware issues plaguing the Galaxy S6’s display.

Basically the problem here is that the edges of the Galaxy S6 are not registering touches. While most of our input tends to be more towards the middle of the phone, having the edges fail to register touch can be quite annoying as there are many apps out there that might require interaction from the edge, such as swiping in from the left or right.

The video above appears to be demonstrating the problem in action. The video shows the phone running an app that marks in black areas where touch has been registered, but as you can see, the edges of the Galaxy S6 are not registering at all. The problem also appears to be affecting the Galaxy S6 more than the Galaxy S6 Edge.

Samsung has yet to comment on the issue and given that the Galaxy S6 isn’t on sale yet, hopefully Samsung will have time to address the problem, although during our review of the device we found no issues with it.
