So, I received it yesterday and am very happy with it. Can't wait for the dock which comes Friday.
Anyhow, I've noticed several small blue spots (pixel sized) in the front facing camera. It is not the display or rear facing just the front facing. The spots do also who in captured pictures.
Trying to decide if i should try to return it or if I can sit on it for a bit. Hopefully I can make a claim on it in a few weeks when they are actually possible to get your hands on without 3am notifications.
Anyone else with this issue?

I have had my N5 for a few months now, and it has been great. However I opened the camera app the other day against a white wall and noticed there were darker circles.
I took a picture of a brand new sheet of printer paper, in the camera app itself it is very noticeable but when you transfer it its not that bad. It does this with all camera apps I have tested. I cleaned my lens but that didn't solve the problem...thinking about RMAing it before the problem potentially gets worse, but wanted to see if its a common problem.

Thank you!
I bought my wife a Samsung Galaxy S7 about 4 days ago.
When taking photos on an evening with bright lights the camera has dots on the screen (see attached images).These look like a reflection.
I took the phone back to the shop where they told me this was normal,and the problem was replicated in another two phone.As i's not considered a defect I cant return the phone,It's my first Samsung and my last,As utter spoils the experience.
Taken a good few night shots but not seen anything this bad, I only get spot reflections from bright lights like the sun
Wipe camera lens nice, I'm getting this kind of pics when my lens are dirty
Lens is spotless,only happens on a night,but its so bad its pointless taking night photos.
Not sure if it's a lens or software problem,but store I bought it from are insisting I take it to Samsung,yet the phone was only 4 days old when we noticed this problem.
Can you reproduce this when HDR is disabled?
I do actually have the same issue, also only when taking pics of for example lamps, city, etc..anything that lights/shines at night.
The lens is clean ofc.
Yep, I have the same issue. Lights mess up the camera in many scenarios on this phone.
Manual mode,hdr off or on,does not what settings the resukts are the same
I have this on HTC 10 and Pixel too. And now S7. Well not as bad as that, just 1 dot in strong lights during low light. Kinda normal.
I just want to start off by saying , YES i know there are multiple threads about the G5 and having the main camera not focus. I found that if i shook my phone, that eventually it would focus. Most people seem to fix this problem by replacing the camera. So i went ahead and bought one from ifixit, and when it arrived, the camera was DOA. They sent me another and after 1 day, the same thing happened. The phone refused to focus. So they sent me another replacement and the same thing. It wouldn't focus. They agreed to refund me. I then bought one from ebay and after installing it today, IT DOES NOT FOCUS. I have checked/cleaned the lens area , so no there are no smudges. There is 1 scratch but it does not cover the lens itself. The secondary camera has about 3-4 scratches that cover the lens, but that camera has no problem focusing. Does anyone have any ideas? I have had this phone for over a year, and apart from this issue it has been bullet proof(ignoring the screen retention problem that seem to also affect phones like the s7). I love it so much. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Not going to help much but I'm in the same boat. I can hear the camera rattling when I shake it, and with my original camera, the focus mechanism trying to to its thing. Tried a few ebay ones labeled as "New" and got ones that are pulled from old phones and won't even try to focus or simply not work at all. I would think that ifixit you wouldv'e had the best luck with and thats pretty disappointing to hear because I was hoping pony up and just go with them next. All I've heard is that you just have to keep trying until you get one that works, then be super careful with it. Kinda sucks, at least we have the wide angle though and thats what I use most of the time for actual pictures but most apps only go through the regular camera.
I am at a lost on what to do. Its so frustrating. The wide angle camera is nice, but not as a main camera. I have to zoom and crop quite a bit since I use Fb messenger(which kills quality) and the wide angle is such a hassle. I literally gave up. I'm tired of "trying" other ones. I really don't know what to do. I guess I either live with it or, sell it for cheap, then buy a s7.
Hi Everyone
My sony X5 (j9210) has issues with the camera.
First the wide angle lens stopped working, when i switched to it i have a black screen and the camera app would crash.
After while all the lenses stopped working besides the front camera, this issue was not only on the stock camera app also on other apps that used my camera.
I registered my phone for reparation under warranty (by a certified sony repair shop) and when I got it back everything worked again like new.
Now a few days later the same issue is appearing, my wide angle lens has stopped working and i'm pretty sure the same thing will happen all over again.
I'm incredibly frustrated and sad about this situation since it was a very expensive phone and i'm afraid this will never get resolved unless i get another phone.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Edit: My phone is running the latest firmware as of now 55.A.1.9.21.
I'm crying for help right now.
Thanks in advance

Sir, i'm facing the exactly same problem.
Did you find a solution beside sending to repair?
I'm on TMO S22Ultra converted to U1 and I am now noticing these faint black flickers in both front and back cameras... Anyone else have these? The pictures come out fine as far as I can tell but it's kind of annoying when trying to take pictures. It's worse in the preview in messages I noticed as well.
No problem with my TMO S22 Ultra on U. Mine is a 21GB/256GB version.
when you change to U1 (unlocked) be sure to run the correct software version, or it may run into issues.
check the hardware (a rough diagnostics) using the samsung members app > get help > diagnostics.
or you could reproduce and report the issue to samsung members app > get help > error report for software evaluation.
I figured it out, I'm an EMT and for some reason the lighting in the back of the ambulance creates black flickers on my camera, after my shift out of the truck camera is perfectly fine. Opened up my camera today in the back with the cab lights on and the flickers were back

that is crazy~~~ never would have thought of the ambulance light causing this.
Yeeeee it's the interior dome lights I'm not sure what it is about them but it causes some sort of lens anomalies
