Soooo… I’ve never had this issue on any other phone before. Is it normal to get condensation inside the camera lense (wide angle and telephoto)?
it’s dried out now, but I can see spots on the inside of the lense now that the water is gone, I can only imagine this getting worse over time, affecting quality. is this worth an RMA?
It shouldn’t be air tight, otherwise it could break from pressure changes
It’s supposed to be IP68 rated
That’s water and dust resistance, not air
dude what lol
Wdym? Water has surface tension and dust is solid, air doesn’t have such limitations. My own phone (note 20 ultra) has an opening under the camera bump to allow air in to relive pressure despite having an ip68 rating.
Are you sure that’s not a microphone for videos? It’d be really weird to have a hole like that. Water should easily push itself through that hole. I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about when it comes to air pressure. I’m pretty sure your eardrums can survive close to a 1 atmosphere difference in pressure, and those are way more fragile than your phone. I’m not sure why your phone would need to normalize air pressure.
Ever pop your ears when going up a mountain or during flight? This is air pressure changes. Either way, water tight does not mean air tight, while air tight does mean water tight assuming the material is not water soluble.
Lenses for full size-cameras are made alright. It’s not a problem.
I was wrong about the hole, but I’d like to point out that full size camera lenses don’t need to be as thin as possible to keep the camera bump in check.
Earth’s atmospheric pressure just doesn’t change as much as you seem to think it does.
It should still exclude water. Like, there are ways to equalize pressure that don’t allow for water to condense in the phone like OP’s photo. This is a Bad Thing™.
I wasn’t defending the photo? Of course water is a bad thing
