front camera

I noticed the other day that the front camera wasn't centered then I realized that there are 2 holes in front of the transformer. I know one is the camera, but what is the other one for?

Might be the light sensor.

[Q] What are the front sensors?

What are the front sensors?
I know the furthest left is the camera.
One of them is probably the ambient light sensor. What is the other one?
Not a big deal, Just was curious.

[Q] dead pixels on rear camera?

Has anyone experienced this problem with the n5 camera? I have 2 marks on my pictures and on the screen whilst I'm taking pictures, I think there's something wrong with the camera sensor, only had the phone a couple of month. I've zoomed in on one picture. Should I try to get it replaced?
The shape if the first image looks too organic to be dead pixels to me. Looks more like fluff. I assume you've cleaned the "lens"

looks like dust or dirt. the camera cant have a dead pixel, theres no pixels. the camera uses a lens. your screen has pixels, screens can have dead pixels.

Film based cameras have a lens. Digital cameras have both a lens and a sensor. The sensor and the screen both have pixels.
However, this looks more like object obstruction than failing pixels on the sensor

Crooked depth sensor

Anyone else have a crooked depth sensor? The gaps aren't lined up evenly, they go kind of diagonal. My wife's is perfectly square.

Is the front facing camera lousy?

The front facing camera on my One X is horrible. The selfies are washed out and extremely low res, nowhere near the quality from my Droid Razr that has the same megapixel count. What could cause this? Does the proximity sensor have anything to do with the camera? I have a screen protector and it has a cutout for this sensor but I don't know if the cutout is big enough since I can't see the sensor. I have not taken a picture w/o the screen protector installed. Anything else I should be looking at?
The proximity sensor has nothing to do with the front facing camera. In all honesty, it doesn't take great pictures. You might have some dust built up in there, try cleaning it out with a cotton bud.

Thanks. I did that after doing a search on the issue (which I should have done before my post-my bad) and the difference is night and day. I never would have guessed a lens could get so dirty that it would literally make a camera unusable but now I know it can.
