KSA usually has respectable warranty. Definitely send this back because it'll need to be replaced. I wouldn't suggest repairing it from a 3rd party since it has a tricky edge display.

Other then replacement warranty or replacement of display panel you are very much stuck with it ,i have seen many of edge series with this problem,most of people just use them as it is and it doesn't spread,but it also depends on the cause in first place,but in general for AMOLED displays unlike IPS or other the black spots are the dead LED's thats why they cant be fixed

They don't normally spread unless the screen itself is damaged, or exposed to extreme heat. Pixels on AMOLED screens do not recover once burnt or turned off.

However, the one in the picture seems small and shouldn't be an issue.

1st part: This screen seems repaired(glass only replacement) and previous impact left screen area dead. Other then that there is almost negligible possibilities of this happening.

2nd part: Now that this has happened, it won't spread(but the display is much more fragile to hard* impacts) and you can use without fear.

This won't be claimed under regular warranty and neither is replacement possible under accidental warrenty(unless it covers a major part of screen or you drop and destroy it intentionally).

No it will not spread,it will stay as it is the oleds in that region are just dead just avoid applying pressure to that region

As for warranty claim being eligible or not ,it depends on your provider or samsung itself check your disclaimer

As I mentioned earlier dead pixels are covered by Apple warranty for their IPS displays,I aint sure how samsung or any third party handles it

Samsung OLED displays are the most expensive ones in fact in most cases they almost cost same price as phone itself ofcourse half or much lesser for newer phones still expensive though in your case it would be around 15k but never attempt repair here in Pakistan I haven't seen a repair center where they'd use special glues used in reassembly of phones ,what they use aint as good

Thanks bros.
Warranty claim is not possible for some time due to some reasons so using it as it is.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
