Note 10+ faint pulsating pixel to the right of front camera while making a call ?

[felloffthetruck]

I see a faint pulsating pixel to the right of the front camera while making a call. I believe it might be the sensor that turns off the screen when you put the phone up to your ear?

It disappears when you put on speaker phone.

Am I the only one seeing this?

Yes I noticed this too while on a call, got nervous at first because I thought it was a screen issue.

Nope I definitely see it. I knew it was there before I got my phone today cause other people were talking about here somewhere the other day.

That's probably the proximity sensor

 

[felloffthetruck]

Thanks, I was worried that my phone was defective. It is definitely a proximity sensor, the screen goes black the second you put you finger near it.

 

[Lepa79]

Yep, see it too here. So strange. Sure does look like a defect until I started reading others having the same thing.

I am glad that is what it is. I will not freak out now when I get my Note 10+ next week,

 

[mustang7757]

Yeah no worries , it's the same on the s10+ next to the camera. It's the proximity sensor

 

[felloffthetruck]

Wonder if this will cause a burned out pixel sooner or later in that area?

No. It's not lighting up a pixel.

S10 series do the same thing. It's normal

It's there. It was towards the left of the pill. I asked about it when I seen it on the s10+ forum.

Just noticed this on mine as well, but it was on in every screen, and I hadn't made a call. Restarted phone and it went away.

It’s not a dead pixel or a defect, it’s a proximity sensor. It behaves like a normal pixel on your phone’s display until you use it (like during phone calls).

What's weird is I hadn't made a call when I noticed it. When I saw it I tried a few different apps and it was there in all of them. Restarted phone and it went away. Then I remembered seeing this thread and came here.

so you see this while using the speaker phone? I would really dislike that. I almost always use speaker or headphones for calls and rarely put the phone to my ear.

Not on speaker, other calls you see it. It senses of you have the phone to your ear or not. Not sure about Bluetooth.
