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?
I've never had that happen with my 8 Pro. I'd assume that means it's not air tight, so you might want to at least open a ticket with Google for it.
I read that the Xiaomi Ultra 14 also has similar issues with lens fogging up.
Is it too much to ask that the manufacturers of super expensive phones test their phones before selling them?
I guess so.
Why test when early adopters will do it for them.
eh people are going to suffer through whatever the fuck they poop out the manufacturing and then buy a new one next year anyway so why bother
No, it is not normal as far as I know (within the world of smartphones). However, this was a widely reported problem with one of Xiaomi's recent flagships so it could be a similar design flaw.
My 9 pro did this last Friday when sitting on the AC vent in my car which I too have never seen before.
My 8 pro sat in the same place many times.
Sounds like a common issue then
Edit:
Well, you saved me a search, and op saved me from buying a Pixel 9.
Bro it’s a Pixel. Few hardware issues are just expected at this point and I’m not defending Google, they have a bad track record with shitty hardware.
I had zero hardware issues with the Pixel 8 before.
I owned 2 Pixel 8 devices and both had very different haptic motors, one of them would just make a plunk sound and the other one would give you an uncomfortable buzz. Google’s hardware design and consistency is lacking compared to other brand phones. Plus even though both were the same unlocked 128GB model, one of them was missing software features (3d wallpaper generation with AI for example), like what?
I would certainly try.
new pixel with not ready for prime time gremlins, you don't say, where have i heard that before, except with every single pixel release since the dawn of time. every one.
I agree, it’s not gunna get any better and could get worse with time. I’d be worried about the waterproof/resistance ability of it (idk what the rating is). Doesn’t hurt to open a ticket with Google
