Camera problem - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers

Hello guys i just noticed something on my 2S when i look at the camera there is something under the glass near the flash and its getting bigger... Should i be worried? Do you have the same?

I don't have anything like that on mine. As long as it doesn't affect your pictures I'll say don't be worried

I think even if that color wont be there at all that it shouldn't have any effect on camera quality...
It just looks ugly and i hope its not some glue and then the glass will fall off

It looks like theres still the protector on the lens with some air under it

Strange is when i press it it doesn't go away.. But it can be some protector wonder if i can take it off

looks like protector, i can feel when with finger touch it, but dont know did safe to remove it... try ask on MIUI forum

UPDATE: Mix is back from service and its just the glass cover being not well put in the frame, exchange part will come soon and the price with cleaning and work will be 30€

Camera Cover

I just want to know if the camera lens cover is replaceable.
I always have a far that it will get scratched and ill be stuck with talking pictures that have a big line through them. I liked the g1 on how it was part of the battery back, so if something happen to it i could just get another back. but on the g2 its kinda build it.
So wanted to know if it could be replaced some how.
IDK but it looks like a seperate piece to me(camera/flash covers and bezel). It might just pop out if you slip a tiny screwdriver between it and the back case half, or the back case half has to come off first.
Idk just hope mines never gets scratched or they make some replacement ones

I agree completely, I'm wondering if the ZAGG full protection covers that tiny lens glass piece ?? Can anyone confirm because ZAGG has a cover called "Full Body Maximum Coverage for $24.99".
Unless it is a high quality piece of glass, any cheap plastic will affect the quality of the camera images.

Full Body does not. Perhaps the Maximun, but i really doubt it, I believe it's only corners.
While looking for a new screen protector, I found this:

It has a small screen protector that protects the camera
Nice!!! Those will be my next screen protectors.

I ordered the overlay plus sets so I'll let you guys know what I think. But any modern optical device is filled with plastic lens coatings. With the possible exception of these tiny phone cameras, I'd bet the image sensor and primary lens is one piece of plastic.
These cameras suck anyway, if I want a quality image I'll hump my Nikon DSLR around.
BTW it's lens has 5-10 plastic lens coatings in it to control dispersion,reflectivity,etc.
i have the overlay plus and if u put it on correctly ie no dust under... it looks no difference and did not affect the quality of the pics tat was taken.

geez $10 for shipping. i know it's fedex and all but they could easily ship usps for half the price with tracking.

[Q] Should I remove the plastic thing on the camera?

Should I remove the protecting thing on the camera of the nexus 5 or will the camera get scrached?
The glass underneath the plastic is recessed so should be OK. That said, you can buy screen protectors with camera covers too.

The lens is also fairly durable and does not scratch nearly as easily as the screen.
Last, a lens needs to be very scratched up for it to have a significant impact on your pictures.

if you have no need to use the camera, you dont need to take it off. but if you do want to use the camera, take the darn thing off! it wont get scratched very easy, believe me. i probably take more photos here than anyone else, on a daily level, and not a scratch on mine. been using since new years. and those screen savers with camera covers, they reduce image quality. personally, im very anal about the quality of the images, and anytrhing that covers or "protects" the camera lens cover will reduce image quality, no matter if it says it doesnt or someone says they dont notice.

I imagine the lens scratches really easily but luckily its actually underneath a layer of glass.
As a keen photographer myself, I only partially agree with the link. Probably wouldn't matter on a device like this but as a general rule it would.

Good job. It would just fall off eventually.
Also please remove the IMEI sticker from the back. Some people think it has a purpose or isn't removable for some odd reason.

I don't see how taking photos would scratch the lens =P I think it's more of being in your pocket or leaving it on the table with no case on. Also, as OP found out, the plastic has a center opening for the actual camera and only covers everything around it.
@ OP After I RMA'd my phone I kept the plastic on there. However, after getting a dbrand skin that came with a lens covering, I used it to replace the plastic. A lot of skins now come with them, and as @rootSU said you can order transparent ones that probably will stay on the phone better.

No plastic film on camera and heart sensor lenses?

Did anyone notice that, unlike the GS6 and other Galaxies before it, the S7 and S7 Edge don't have the plastic film that covers both the camera and heart sensor lenses when you first got it? Some people take them off when they got the phone, but I left it on there on my GS6 to protect the camera lense from scratches.
Just wanted to know whether someone has noticed this on their phones as well?
U are anyways suppose to remove them.

That plastic makes photos you take worse because it reflects lights to the camera in a way that it is undesirable. You bought a phone with a fantastic camera. Why would you leave a thing like this attached to it?
Besides, the camera glass is Gorilla. Heart hate sensor is a cheap one. And if you use any kind of case, you can put your phone on the table and the camera glass will never touch table directly.
Enjoy your phone. I know it is not cheap, but it is just a phone.

Thanks, appreciate your feedback
Even if it did have that plastic on it and you left it on, it'd get scratched up pretty quickly. If you wanted some kind of protection though, you could try d-brand skins. They cover the glass on the camera lens, leaving only a small opening for the aperture (although I don't know how much "give" there is for the OIS function), but that could still get damaged. Personally, I just have a case, front screen protector and that's it.

Thanks. Glad to see another NZ lad on here

Does someone know what are these stains ?

Hey guys,
So as i was admiring my S7 from all angles (truly a beautiful phone) under the sunlight, i noticed something weird. Just above the front speaker grill, i noticed 2 stains in like a form of pyramide. I tried to wipe it off, but nothing. So im afraid its maybe water (since it was raining hard the past week) or i don't know, maybe humidity ? What could it be ? Its midly annoying, could it be the sign that the "waterproofing" of my phone is deficient?
take a close look
http://imgur.com/a/OMWSA
I tried differents method to try to remove it. I tried to like "sucking" it out with my mouth as i though maybe its water but nothing, i also tried to use my hairdryer and proceed to put it in front of the speaker but still nothing.
Do you think its something that could be considered serious ? should i try to repair it in a center ?
I never used it in water and i bought the phone brand new 1 month ago, case and screen protector since day 1.
Looks like the paint coating is peeling off from the front glass. This happened to my friend on her s5, and I've heard several people with s7 have the same issue.

If u have warranty, take it to samsung. It's ridiculous for a 1 month old phone to already have paint peeling off issues.
I mean, that's only estethic, it won't cause any other issues, it just looks ugly.
The paint is like a sticker that is glued on the glass, and it tends somstimes to unpeel if the glue isn't applied well.

Screen Cosmetic issue at top of screen - Anybody elses look like this

Just took delivery of my OP7 Pro and immediately out of the box my eyes were drawn to what looks like a cosmetic issue at the top just to the left of the speaker grill. Hard to describe, not sure it is a scratch but looks more like dirt or dust stuck between screen or frame or maybe just shoddy glueing.
Picture attached, wondering if anybody else has seen this? Pondering whether to return it or not.
From the third picture i'd say it's from casting the aluminium frame, but i'm not entirely sure. But mine looks normal there, and it's covered by the bumper case anyway. But if it bothers you, then try and change it.

It does not look too bad under normal circumstances but does not feel right. I think I may return it.
Mine had something like that but on the bottom bezel. I think it was just excess adhesive or something. I was able to push it out with my finger nail and now it looks as it should.
Mine had same thing on it, I just ripped it off and now it looks normal.. their QC is not top notch... Neversettle I guess, lol
No I don't have that, but I have dust under the screen protector in 2 spots.
Replacement arriving this morning so let's see if this one has it too!
Replacement still not perfect but better than the first. Going to keep it I think.
