[Android Central Question]

Since last 48 hours, there is a black mark appearing in the camera app and also in each photo at the exact same position.
It's Samsung S9+ that was never dropped, stayed home mostly, software up to date, not a spec of dust in/on the lens.
Have tried checking Red/Blue/Green screen testing-all pixels 100%.
Checked camera in safe mode and the spot still appears.

Samsung says bring to our service center. Anyone faced similar issue?
What is annoying me is that this is a Premium phone, hardly used, and ends up having this issue. The warranty was 1 year, so the phone is not covered. I am assuming it is an excellent opportunity for Samsung to make extra bucks from me on an already expensive rarely used phone.

Any help to fix this will be greatly appreciated.

Dust on the sensor? Try dislodging by tapping the phone. That would of course be a diagnosis rather than a cure.

There would appear to be something on the lens whether on the outside or inside. Give the lens a good clean. If that doesn't work Samsung will need to take a look at it
