The Galaxy S6 and S6 were scheduled to hit the stores in the United States on April 10th, but to the delight of customers who had pre-ordered the handset(s) via T-Mobile, the carrier started shipping out their units early.

However, it looks like the initial units of the Galaxy S6 edge seems to be suffering from some screen issues. Many S6 edge owners, who have already received their unit, are complaining about scratched Gorilla Glass 4 and dead pixels on the display.

Customers who contacted T-Mobile were immediately sent a replacement unit, but to their disappointment, the replacement units also suffered from the same issues.

It is likely that the defect is limited to a small batch sent out by T-Mobile, but nevertheless, it will bum out a lot of customers who had pre-ordered the handset, and were delighted by the carrier shipping out their unit early.
