Dot on black edge of iPad mini screen

I bought a new iPad mini a week ago and noticed i have a dot on the black edge of my screen that u can only see with light above it. Does that mean my screen is defective or is it normal and my screen is ok?

Your iPad screen is entirely as expected. The "dot" that you illustrate in your photo is not a defect...


Within the screen bezel, in addition to the front-facing camera, are located various optical sensors that measure ambient light brightness and colour-temperature.
