Any help is appreciated. 

Anyone know what these circles could be caused from? They are on my galaxy s9 fe+ tablet and is viseable when screen is off. 
I had fogged up the screen so i could get a good photo for posting purposes.

Not idea on what they are, but they definitely don't look normal.

I have the same model and can juuussttt very faintly see the circles too (off-centre, difficult for my camera to capture properly even with fog)

But it's likely just part of the screen’s digitizer or adhesive pattern - likely nothing to worry about unless you notice touch / display issues (or bubbling)

*Edit - just found a youtube video of the backside of the display panel; yellow circle on the possible section. Possibly can do with a simple screen protector swapxalK2eTbpa.jpga6eBXxkuQd.jpg

I put on a screen protector when id first purchased but have since changed due to the 1st screen protector leaving to much smudges due to fingerprints oil sunstance. It was difficult to clean the smudges from fingerprints when i had the 1st screen protector on. It is only since i changed screen protectors that i was faced with this circle. (There are 2 of them, only 1 would show up when taking photo)

Going by your comment, yeah im gonna say it is due to the screen protector swap.

Does your tablet have a screen protector?

Take the screen protector off.

Clean the direct screen with one of these items to decontaminate.kLWsVp6DIR.jpg

Thankyou all. It was only since Id put on a screen protector that the circles had appeared. I much prefer a screen protector so if I were to keep the screen protector on, would I have any issues?

should be fine as long as there isn't any touch / display issues over the area
