Is this OEM hardware quality?

Gentlemen, I acquired an M4 Aqua in mid June 2016. The phone showed some severe hardware issues around 4 months later and I was offered a "brand new" M4 phone to replace it. 1 year and 1 month after (just when the warranty for the new phone expired), my phone was lacked on the "Sony" splash and restarting (so, hardware issues again). Of course, I bought a new phone and let it rest. Today I decided to play around with the M4 Aqua replacement and opened its back just to check around (no harm anymore). For my surprise, I found a very sloppy hardware build (see picture, top right). Is this the standard hardware supplied by Sony or was this "brand new" phone actually "reworked"?
