Is it normal for this to happen? Will it be gone or will increase with more usage? Will it affect the phone's performance? Should I ask for replacement? I would prefer it to be repaired as I think it is the glue that is spreading. If I am to get a replacement I would prefer it to be of silver colour only.

Get it replaced at the Service centre, since it is the most sensitive part of the phone, i would suggest you to use a cover like i am using, this will prevent undue pressure on this strip area and reduce any furtehr chances of damage

I brought brown one for my silver .

Yes,aayush is right.You should take it to a sony centre,where they can manage your phone correctly.I also bought a cover,just for the backside and covering the margins,and a screen protector foil.

Are you sure that I should get it replaced? It is very minor and barely visible with naked eye. The image I have taken is with a 12 Megapixel Digital Camera. That too it is not visible in plain sight. It has to been seen from a certain viewing angle or in low light condition for it to be seen. Will the service centre guy recognize this as a fault?

It can get worse in coming days !!

got the same issue, though the touch functionality of the strip is not affected, it's aesthetically bad. bought mine to a sony service center here in the philippines and it has been covered by the warranty. though i'm still waiting for the spare part which will be coming to singapore. i recommend you bring it to the service center too. just a tip to make it more visible, have it seen the tech rep with a dark background ( a black card / or putting it on a dark colored table). 😃
