Should I be worried about condensation inside camera lens?

[Android Central Question]

I got a new phone earlier this week, a Nokia 7.1, very happy with it, then I get caught in some mild rain with it in my pocket today, the kind I expect any of my previous phones to laugh off, but the Nokia has ended up with moisture trapped between the glass exterior and the lens of the rear camera, leading to very foggy photos. Should I be concerned and contact a repair centre, or will it evaporate on its own given enough time? I've never had a problem like this before so not sure what to do. Thanks!

You can try with a hair dryer on warm low setting around the lens see if it goes away, wouldn't bring to repair center yet. Since the phone doesn't have a official IP water resistant I would be careful getting it wet again. If it went by the lens might of went other places like the phone circuit.
