The other day we reported that T-Mobile had begun to send out some Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge units to lucky customers. Given that the handset has yet to be released and pegged for a release on the 10th of April, it certainly sounds like these customers were rather lucky, or are they?
According to various reports from customers who have received their units, it seems that “lucky” shouldn’t really be a term used to describe their situation. These customers are claiming that the screens of their brand new Galaxy S6 Edge have arrived scratched, and in some cases there were even some dead pixels.
Thankfully T-Mobile has allowed these customers to return their phone for a brand new one, but even then there are claims that the new and exchanged units are scratched right out of the box. It is unclear as to what might be causing these scratches, or maybe these customers were unlucky enough to get a bad shipment.
Either way we guess we’ll just have to wait until the 10th of April which is when everyone else who pre-ordered the handset should receive their units, and hopefully then we’ll know whether or not this is a widespread issue or just a contained one. In any case here’s hoping that for those who pre-ordered the handset, you guys will receive a pristine unit with no issues.
