Users call it #gluegate and the response isn't exactly satisfactory.

That's why people buy oled screens from Samsung since they are the best displays hands down. Ask Google

    Before hating on Huawei, just know that your fav company have done the same thing and had the same problem.

    LGs displays are bad

      Oh they are pulling an Apple in terms of reasoning. It's a feature, not a defect xD

        As usual, Huawei haters are out in full force. They must've forgotten the time their favorite phone was involved in some sort of controversy of it's own.

          Like what the hell did these people expect when they decided to buy a curved screen phone. Of course there's gonna be color shift and glare. It's common physics. All curved screens have it. That's why they're gimmicks and I refuse to buy them. Like curved tvs, I hope they go extinct like dodo birds one day soon.

                          Maybe you've only seen cheap chinese case's.

                                "Chinese crap" also applies to e.g. manufactured goods from India and/or cheap-labor south American countries.

Because it's been proven time and time again, that they do skimp on quality. Having such a bad rep doesn't come from one lousy product but because of numerous items of crap.

                                  And they obviously still haven't learned!

                                    Alien , 02 Nov 2018keep buying china quality.. then wonder why this was such... moreIt's not just China quality. Just stop buying into these gimmicks. Nobody needs a bloody curved screen. It's difficult to hold, you keep pressing things when you don't want to press them. It's just not worth the bragging rights!

                                    If they made the device with a proper flat screen then this wouldn't have happened.

                                    On a similar matter. There was a light bleed issue at the bottom of the Pocophone F1. How did that turn out? Any news on THAT!

                                    In fact it would be great if these bloody websites not only mentions the problems associated with certain devices but also do the follow up and reports how it got handled and IF the fault got corrected at all! So GA.... what's up, doc?

                                      Gosh people should just return and get their money back. Some will complain about anything and be disappointed, instead just return and buy something you can enjoy. Or, Huawei just make the stupid screen flat. lol
                                      All these marketing gimmicks to sell something is funny. 90% of the world cover up the device with a case anyway which defeats the purpose of the curved edge. This is kinda dumb.

                                        Like i said, even i'm not chinese, thats a one sided statement u did there.
