Not sure where to post this. Mods please re-locate as necessary.

When I take snap shots I get this awful hazy glare from bright objects in the image. I have tried cleaning my camera lens, (carefully) to no avail.

How can I eliminate them? my phone is an LG V10... thanks!!

Sure... thanks!! The pics below aren't even that bad. I have some that are far worse. Images below represent an "average" case.

Foggy haze from the sky all over this image, but most prominent on the left.. Red lights in the center, which really are not nearly as bright as camera depicts.

If the front glass is indeed good, it looks like there might be a light haze of condensation somewhere inside the lens. That might be difficult to see, unless it's on the inside of the front glass.
Some phones have a lens glass protector which is not always easy to identify as such, nor obvious whether it ought to be removed, but I imagine you've examined yours closely.

Definitely not good!
If you were shooting with a DSLR, I would tell you to remove the cheap "protective" UV filter on you lens.

For the phone's camera, you are definitely looking to "fix" the lens.
Make sure the static-cling protector from the factory is removed.
Make sure no cases or protective covers are on/over the lens.
Clean the lens.
Try using a bright flashlight to see if there is anything on the inside. If yes, you will need a repair shop.

If you don't get it figured out, you will probably need to take it to a repair shop.
