Hi!
Fingerprint sensor on my Note 10 is moved to the left relative to the vertical axis of the screen.
Is it normal? Can someone confirm?
I am attaching photo of mine scanner.
My S10+ also did not have a perfectly centred sensor. I don't think that this is an issue.
I wouldn't worry much about it. It might just be the icon only moving around the screen to prevent the burn in. The AOD Homescreen icon in older samsung phones used to do the same.

I just installed Galaxy Sensors from the Google Play Store. Humidity shows up and the reading and is within 2% of my digital in home humidistat. I thought the Note 5 didn't have a humidity sensor. Looks like it does to me. So did I read incorrectly and can anyone else corroborate that the note 5 does indeed have this sensor present?
Hi all,
Can anyone help my sanity with a simple camera test?
Check the photos attached, i'm placing the phone on my desk on the same pencil mark and ensuring it's square with the side of the desk i take a picture of the (also squared up with the desk) computer screen with horizontal and vertical lines.
The Pixel 3 skews the picture very heavily whereas the OnePlus 6T, Essential Phone and Pixel 2 does a little.
Is this something that is present on all Pixel3 handsets (this is my second and its the same with both)?. It means i have to hold the Pixel3 at an angle to get a level photo
If someone else could test preferably against another phone for a comparison i would really appreciate it?

Turn the grid lines on in the camera app so you can see if the image is skewed on screen, or only after the photo is taken.
I tested with my 3, and the grid line shows a level image, and so does the photo taken.

The gridlines in the app is a great shout, see attached photo, i can get it show a level image but i have to hold the phone at an angle to do so.
Edit - same photo but taken with the Oneplus 6T and Pixel2 i don't have to hold those phones at an angle to line the gridline to my monitor

I hate to say it, but that sounds like your camera module is not mounted level on the system board. It seems very odd that you would have this same issue on 2 devices.

I think it's more related to the gyroscope or orientation sensors of the device, the fact it's happened on the second device has thrown me quite a bit. I wanted to check if it was prevalent out there and maybe people have adapted unconsciously.

Don't see how the gyro would be involved. The camera is fixed, so it's orientation to the body isn't dependent on the gyro. Checked my 3 and it's a deg or two off, but not as much as in your top photo. I use the grid lines for photo alignment so not a big deal at all for me. I have the same issue on my Sony NEX5N camera and it's actually worse than my Pixel 3, so not just a phone thing.
Was at the beach... in direct sunlight, max brightness, white screen, I not only see the fingerprint sensor circle where it should be, but I also see 2 smaller circles... maybe an inch from the top of the screen and on the right side.
Does anyone else ha w these? Make sure it's bright enough so you can see the fingerprint scanner (if you can't see that, then you won't see the smaller ones).
I know the Pro has an underscreen sensor, but I thought the 7 was like the 6T.. next to the camera? Or did the 6T have it under the screen, too?
Why are there 2 circles?
Verified with another camera that there's definitely an IR sensor there (at least the left of the 2 circles).
Not sure of it's for light or proximity, or what the other one is. Weird they did this for the 7 but not 6T?
Yes, we have prox sensor and light sensor under screen. Why we have it in op7 but not in op6t? Maybe before the cost was so high or efficiency so low
I am planning to buy a Google Pixel 4a. This front camera embedded in the screen looks great, but after a while I got confused and I thought how does this left top corner behave in full screen apps? How problematic is that we cannot click in this part of screen?

Use phones with pop-up camera, they provide an infinite display. Like OnePlus 7T Pro, OnePlus 7 Pro, ...
No issues with that yet. The screen scrolls/behaves flawlessly around the the hole punch. With the Energy Ring app, it even looks kinda sharp as a battery level indicator with a 1px width. I then used system to get rid of the stock battery indicator that can barely see anyway.
Software doesn't get to draw "behind" the camera unless it is cutout-aware. Most full screen things just don't use the top part of the screen.
The hole punch front camera is not obtrusive at all for me. I never tap up in that corner, and there are only a few videos that might have a small cut-out in it due to the aspect ratio they film in. Most times I don't even really nice it.
Doesn't bother me. Usually stays up in the notification bar and icons reflow around it. No big deal
Had been pretty disappointed with the N20U fingerprint sensor over the Note 9 until trying this hack found last night on Sakitech's YouTube channel while searching for a solution. It originally pertained to the S20 / Note 10 but continues to make a huge improvement on my N20U. Link is below in case you're not aware of this.
My only disappointment with N20U is the fingerprint sensor. I tend to prefer physical fingerprint sensor especially on the side or back (and I still do). This actually improves the fingerprint sensor a lot. Thanks!
