Looks like an air pocket/bubble in the LCD.

You can try a warranty replacement but as these things are subject to bumps and drops I doubt it's covered. Next phone? Try an Otterbox case.

I agree.....

....that warranty will not likely be an option. Looks like screen bleeding which can occur if the screen has been hit hard enough. If you can't live with it, I hope you have insurance on the phone or can take it to a repair shop at your expense.
