sorry guys, my bad, it is not chip_en that reads only 0.4V, it is the boot pin (pin 15) and as mentioned VDD_SPI pin (pin 18).
chip_en is not shorted to ground, i read 319 KOhm resistance between that pin and ground.
sorry for the confusion.

thanks Sprite,
no, it is not shorted to ground, it must be something else

It should be due to different thickness of silkscreen layer.

So i understand that it might be legit then?
