Uh-oh, foggy lens problem?

[Mr Segundus]

I've never had this happen on my iPhone 11 Pro Max. I've been going in and out 90+ degree temps + humidity to a 64 degree house and never had this happen.

There will be a lot of one off issues with this phone I am willing to bet that we are going to hear about. So don't panic! lol

For anyone that read the article to the end, they clearly point out that these reports are not officially substantiated. I find that irresponsible reporting and amounts to not much more than clickbait until we know for sure.

From the article

"One major point to note is that these reports are not yet officially substantiated. Samsung has not acknowledged the issue on any of its official platforms, and the alleged reply from the company is also yet to be confirmed. The PhoneArena team has reached out to Samsung and has yet to receive a response. As this is a developing issue, this article will be updated as relevant information arises"

People can't wait to hate on Samsung because they're successful. And most these news media outlets are pro Apple. Ironically which also has Samsung parts in it. I've been buying Samsung since the Galaxy S4. Never had a single issue with none of my devices. Best on the market to me. Can't wait until mine shows up.

Mr Sugendus... you in Florida?? That's the way it's here too. Never on my phones either. Try spending a hour or two in an ice rink down here (guessing 50 degrees) and then step out in 90 degree outside afterwards. If you're wearing glasses, you are immediately blinded in fog one foot out the door.

I wonder... I wonder it the S20 Ultra camera module is sealed airtight. If so, maybe that's what's caused those accounts of imploding and cracking cameras covers due to atmospheric pressure changes and maybe they did a design change to combat that.

Just have to wait until it's really released and in more peoples hands to see.

No, I'm not in Florida and I am thankful every day that I don't live there.

Isn't that the same statement they use for the cracked/imploded for those experiencing the cracked/imploded camera module covers on the S20??

 

[donm527]

I'm a Floridian so I'm use to it and still can't think of a better place to live. Bloods too thin living her long enough so I can't stand cold for too long. Not that bad all the time

Most of the time in Minnesota, it's hot and humid, despite what everyone thinks of this state. The winters can get long and cold, but they've been mild recently.

This is phone arenas statement. We don't know if the reported claim is real.

So because one aledged user reports condensate on his Note 20 you're speculating that atmospheric pressure changes cracked the camera glass on the S20 because it's air tight?

 

[donm527]

I'm just wondering. My mind has a habit of floating ideas like that, coming up with ideas and such. I've spent a little time in R&D and sometimes you come up with the silliest ideas or figure out problems that happen to work, don't work, wrong, or sometimes nail it on the head.

I will test it out when I drive my Cobra from Vegas (1%) humidity to Boston (85%) humidity in about 48 seconds

Sweet!! More details about your cobra!! I have a Mustang GT PP1/Premium and love it. But a Cobra would be a dream! Yep,and "back to the Note 20 thread!!"....

[svtcobra]

*blink blink* Cobra? As in SVT like your name? Stats please. And feel free to detour South where there's more humidity than you could stand.

You're sharp as a tack! I like that. But no thanks. Boston is bad enough 2001 SVT Cobra 24k actual miles. (done hijacking thread)

Hit me up. [mod redacted]

err...why doesn't someone just take their own phone from cold AC out into the humidity and watch it? Better yet, who has an S20 that can recreate this "scenario"? Right now it runs anywhere from 68-74 in my house and I have a deck I step out onto - my glasses fog up immediately and it takes about a minute to dissipate. The outside is the only part that fogs up because my body temp keeps the inside from doing so - same should be with the phone, no? Unless it's been sitting in a freezer, it probably has a bit of warmth to it to prevent the inside of the camera glass from fogging... Am I wrong?

I don't see this as an issue. And it's isolated if it's true. Just someone looking for press, and press is usually negative. Some negative press every time Samsung announces a nice device. I've yet to have an issue with any of them as I said.

 

[donm527]

Put it in the frig for about 20 minutes and then take it outside during the afternoon. It's about 91 here in Florida and if there is a fogging/condensation issue... it'll happen under those conditions

It could happen, but I haven't seen it. It's pretty hot here in South Carolina too, not as much humidity though. The only time I've seen this is when my son years ago let his S6 Edge get soaked in the rain. Phone wasn't water resistant. It still cleared up and worked fine.
