Screen vignetting

neko3004 — Sun, 16 Aug 2015 17:21:05 GMT

I bought an Xperia M2 last year so now it's just about exact a year old now. Few months ago I started to found that there're some vignette in every corner of my screen. At first I thought it was the ui, but after that I realize that it wasn't.

The question is... Is it normal?
Or it is a problem. I don't know maybe it got dirty or kinda burnt (because sometimes it overheat because I'm using it while charging).

@neko3004

The phone can't overheat, you should try to repair the phone with PCC

PC Companion (PCC)

Bridge (for Mac)

That might be a hardware issue contact your local Sony Xperia support to get it inspected.
