According to posts on the forum, users are claiming that the Galaxy Note 9 has gaps in its chassis through which the display panel light is leaking. However, not all Samsung Galaxy Note 9 users are facing an issue.

Some users, however, say this might not be a build issue but an illusion caused due to light reflections via the curved display. Other users on the forum claimed that it was a painting issue, saying some units were not facing the problem due to the way they were painted during the manufacturing process.
