With very little space on the front of Samsung's newest flagship trio, the company has placed a few sensors under the display. The proximity sensor is one of them, and an easy way to confirm that it's not a glitch or defect is to just switch on the speaker during a call. Switching to speaker mode removes that blinking pixel because the phone doesn't attempt to detect whether you have the phone placed next to your ear when you switch to speaker mode.
Furthermore, that blinking pixel shows up exactly where the Galaxy S10 user manual says the proximity sensor is located. In short, there is nothing to be concerned about, and you can go ahead and unbox your new Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, or Galaxy S10+ without worrying that you might need to send it back for a replacement.
