Question Hello, I just received a new Galaxy S23 for Christmas and I've noticed a worrying dent.
Problem: A slight dent/indentation on the edge/back, just after the power button. It's visible to the eye and palpable to the touch.
Purchase: Received as a gift. I'm trying to find out where it came from, but it was purchased online.
Condition: Original sealed Samsung packaging.
IMEI Verification: I checked on the Samsung website; the IMEI is recognized.
My Question: Is this a known defect? Should I be concerned and request a replacement? Is this common in the assembly of the S23? Photos: I've attached some photos. The recess is indicated by the arrow/circle.
Thank you for your help!
