Tell me these are UFOs !
Same result with front and back camera with an intense source of light into the picture, such as sun, moon or even home light. There is definitly a flaw somewhere, just hopping this is not hadware related (hopefully not some lens internal reflection), and not just me ? See some crop below where you see the exact reflection of the source light (aka the blue UFO).
first is "why noboby spotted that blue spot ??" and "that is definitely not just me" :

second are my own crops :
I may be wrong but it looks like lens flare to me.
Yep, lens flare/reflection. Just compared my Pixel 3 to my Sony NEX5N camera and they both have the blue spot aimed at a bright light bulb.

UFO would be way more fun, but good to know it's not a HW defect.

When I start the camera I get this blue ring in the center of the picture, if I take a picture it will show in the picture as well. Anyone else having this issue?
Is it a sharp blue ring, generated by software, or some kind of artifact like a light leak? Do both cameras have it? Are you using the default camera application? Can you post one of the pictures?

I guess I am the only one with this problem. I updated the firmware yesterday but it's still there, as you can see just the blue or purple ring in the center.
Is that on the shots with the other camera too?
Is it on all the shots?
If not, is there some unusual lighting for that shot?
I ask the last because as a photo guy, that looks like the type of thing that you see with internal reflections with the IR filter over the CCD under some lighting conditions, e.g. an incandescent light just out of the frame at the right angle for that shot. Again, is it on all the shots? Again, is it on the shots with the other camera too? If it is on all the shots you might have a problem, it does look like an artifact.
What you're looking at is refraction caused by light hitting from an angle (like lens flare) and bouncing around on the inside and hitting back at the inside of the glass and the glass is now acting as a backdrop. Just a wild guess. Best thing to try is to block the lens to kill the light completely. Do you still see the blue ring? If so, then it's most likely the CCD sensor.

It's on all shots and only with the back facing camera. it moves when the camera is focusing.

If it is on all the shots, you have a problem unfortunately. I just tested with mine, and you can get a very fierce IR internal reflection with a light source just out of the frame, but it isn't on all the shots of course. (see below)
Bit of a long shot, but if it moves with focusing, it might be some kind of internal light leak from the backlight. Maybe they forgot to install a little baffle or something. Turn the backlight brightness all the way down and see if that reduces it.
Hello all,
since a couple of days i own a HTC One X and i really like it.
What i noticed when using the camera, when i am outside i always get a purple veil, when changing the AWB it gets green.
pic-upload.de/view-14166734/2012-05-12-19.24.20.jpg.html
magezinepublishing.com/equipment/images/equipment/One-X-4692/large/HTC-One-X-trees-IMAG0070_1340963256.jpg
Now i want to know, has anyone else experienced this? (i have seen lots of pictures with this purple veil even from professional testers)
Is this generally on the HOX or is it a failure in a couple of models?
I read "purple vein" and had to come in here to look.
I was expecting something else...
This is what happens when bright light shines onto the camera lens.
Worsened when the camera sensor is overloaded with light.
It happens on any camera but it's pretty bad on this camera.
Try to block bright light sources with your hand, or better yet, avoid shooting into the light.

Ok so it happens on all devices of the HOX?
This is probably a silly question but went out this morning to take some shots and if I am honest I wasn't that impressed with the auto focus. My previous phone was an s7 edge so i have probably been spoiled bu the superfast focus speeds but considering this has phase/contract and laser autofocus i thought it would have been faster.
At times I did feel it struggles to find focus, this makes me question the laser auto focus. On my previous LG G4 and nexus 6p you could actually see the laser auto focus working, a small red light (one assumes the laser) emits from the black square near the camera module on both those phones but i don't see anything from the xz premium in dark or light conditions. Are you supposed to see the laser auto focus on the these units? Can anybody try there and see if they can see it.

Try shooting the back of the phone with a camera. Most of the cameras can detect infrared light while humans can't. You will see it as a purple dot.
It's better to use another phone for this because some stand-alone cameras use infrared filter.

Yeah you're right its was there firing away.
Still a fantastic camera even if i am being picky about the auto focus.
Noticed this at a club with a blue light, thought it was pretty cool! Sadly only works with the front facing camera but even my friend's samsung s9 couldnt do it

Couldn't do what? I watched the video. I see everything blue until your face is on camera.

the blue light was corrected from the front facing cam, he sits in blue light but the camera make his face normal as he sits in normal light. very impressive Technic!
That I am facing the issue of a blue dot appearing in both rear and front camera of POCO X2when shooting against the light in low-light. For example shooting a bulb etc. It is pops up even in daylight when the photo is taken against sunlight, but in day it yellow. Is it a defect? Tell me at the earliest so that I raise a replacement request. Official statement would be much welcomed.

Nothing to worry its just lens glare, it can be observed in every camara just that in poco x2 its more noticeable
