note 9 not centred camera lens

[EMGSM]

I've noticed this in older Samsung phones. It bothered me at first but it never affected photos so I stopped thinking about it.

Mine looks centered. I got my phone last night from tmobile. Here's a bad photo I took with mot Note 5 (the case is clear, but with light to show the camera lens, it looks odd).

Now you'll see it but that's NOT centered hehe.

Anyway, it IS because of IOS, because of design (people would complain if the overall hole wasn't in the center), because of manufacturing differences albeit that isn't as noticeable. It's a little bit of everything, even how the light hits it because of the recessed lens VS where the glass and plastic layer is sandwiched in.

I don't think it's centered on any Note 9 phones. Here's the two I have. The blue is a AT&T Note 9 and the lavender is T-Mobile.

Makes no odds whether centred or not. It doesn't affect the shot in any way.
Too much over thinking

You may not notice it or care (I don't), but there are people who care about symmetry. No, it does not affect function, but yes, it is off-centre and that will bother some people, especially OCD folk. This is actually a thing now for the new iPhones because they're no longer symmetrical. Still awesome phones, but some people are now bothered by that.

Yeah since it's because of OIS I totally understand, was just making sure since the people in my local Samsung dealer cant even explain why the lens wasnt centred.

Thanks for the info

I'm sure your friends love you as you're so easily satisfied with life

I for one like to make sure my money is wisely spent and will not settle for compromises

Nothing to do with being easily satisfied. In fact I'm quite fussy about some things.
But my partner is a cinematographer. Checked these lenses and found them adequate. Especially as this is actually a smartphone not a camera!

Yup in fact I love the photos that the note 9 produces, just fussy about certain stuff (OCD). Ain't nothing wrong with that.

If your partner's camera had an off centred lens regardless of reason I'm sure he/she wouldn't be 100% satisfied as well

Camera yes! Agreed. Phone? No

Well I'd rather my camera have an off centred lens than my phone which I use daily. So for me it's a yes to the phone and no to the camera!

 

[mgbosshogg]

Is this why my photos suck.
Nope, that's just due to me...

Or maybe your settings

Jumping in here a month later but I saw on a thread that apparently the lens is supposed to be wonky.

Here you can see the off centred lens
