Dust under front facing camera?

[Billy Frederick]

I received my nexus 4 in the mail just under 2 weeks ago and noticed recently that there is a ton of dust under the front facing camera. Not just a spec but quite a lot of dust. Its very noticeable in a bright environment. Does anybody else have this issue with the phone? Google agreed to ship me a new phone and then ship them the current phone back in the same box so I won't be out a phone but I'm hoping the new nexus 4 does not have this issue. I know its only the front facing camera but its only been 2 weeks and it already has a lot of dust in it so I could only imagine months down the road. And also I don't want it to hurt its resale value when I want to upgrade.

tldr

does anybody else have dust under front facing camera?

Not mine, it's quite immaculate (and I have some dusty work pockets).

Probably just the (bad) luck of the draw for that phone.

 

[Billy Frederick]

Sweet... hoping it was just that. How long have you had the phone?

 

[BobDaNob]

Probably around a month or so...maybe someone sneezed when they were putting yours together. lol

 

[Billy Frederick]

Yeah seriously hopefully the next one wasn't sneezed on haha

Anybody else?

Nope. Got mine just over a month ago.

Mine has dust under it, but it doesn't appear to affect the camera at all.

I had the same problem with mine so I returned it and got a new one. It didn't seem to affect the camera but i didnt expect that kind of issue with a brand new phone. The RMA process was fairly painless

Sweet how is it with the new phone? Dust not an issue anymore. And hey do you know by any chance a way to back everything up or do I just have to re download all my apps and add them to folders again? Kind of annoying. But yea RMA seems really easy. I called Friday and the new phone is already going to be here tomorrow

Same here. Mine's got a ton of dust under the front camera. Can't seem to get rid of it.
