Experienced the same thing. I made a report and brought it to my nearest service center. They replaced the entire screen and battery since it comes all together with the frame. Best to get to it while your warranty is still valid.

I did it today but they refused to accept it 😔

Bummer... why don't you try to officially submit a request for review? I remember when I brought my phone to the service center, I first made an official complain via their hotline then after the record was established I went to the local service center and they inspected the unit thoroughly, took photos and videos and they submitted it to Samsung's local head office. After that, they were given the go sign for replacement.

So this is normal procedure? They did It for my phone as well, but they say it's depends on head office to approve. As what you mentioned I hope I get approval for my unit as well

I can only assume that it is. Usually they are pretty generous and understanding, especially it's fairly new and more importantly a flagship unit.

Mine is on the metal part above the screen I don't know if this is common but the paint gone off with no reason I never drop or scratched the unit

Same happened to mine and it was around the SPen area. The same area which was heavily covered by the casing since day one. I can only assume it as a quality control issue from the factory.

D) Minimize battery deterioration with proper charging.

1) Always use an authentic Samsung charger to avoid battery deterioration and damage.
2) Always use a charger that fits. An incompatible charger could damage the USB port.
3) Properly connect the charger. Failure to properly connect may damage the device.
4) Unplug the charger after the device has reached 100% charge to avoid a swollen battery.
