Uh-oh, foggy lens problem?

[mustang7757]

IP68 is not air tight and if you Google the issue you'll see that it happens. I'm not going to let one article ruin my day.

Nope me either

It gets humid in a lot of places. I said extreme temperature changes. There is air inside your phone is at atompheric pressure. They do not pull or seal a phone in a vacuum, nor is the phone air tight. We don't know how the phone was handled.

All I heard was Charlie Brown's teacher. In those humid places, I would expect the extreme temp change. All I know is I don't want a phone with foggy lens issues.

But yes. Way early to panic.

I've seen this all day on Reddit, but it's multiple pictures of one phone. They say multiple reports but I've only seen one phone.

Resume the Note 20 pre-order

Supposed Samsung response, not verified but pretty much what @Mike Dee said

> Cause: In order to maintain internal pressure, moisture may enter via the Gore-tex venting hole. When introduced to extreme temperature differences, fogging may occur.
>
> Assessment: This is a natural phenomenon. Other devices operate in the same way when exposed to similar conditions. Try to keep you device from being exposed to extreme temperature differences.

Keep in mind none of the reviewers have reported any issues.

If this does end up being more than a one-off issue, I'd be curious to know how long the camera glass remains fogged up -- is it just for a few seconds or a few minutes? Even a few seconds could be the difference between getting or missing a choice shot.

It's so natural that this has never been reported before in a Samsung phone.. Okay.....

Just one phone, though. Won't panic for now.

I think this is a doctored photo. I saw the same exact phone in that case in another picture today for something else. No fog.

I don't trust iPhoneArena when it comes to android news. They usually exaggerate anything against Android and they have that reputation.

Links? Lol if possible

 

[BergerKing]

At least they aren't catching on fire

Did you FORGET this is 2020?

 

[j_hansen]

It will only happen to the Snapdragon..... the Exynos will be perfect LOL

 

[svtcobra]

Oh wow!

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

 

[Notefan161]

User error then lol

I’m sure this is nothing and people won’t have an issue but will see.

 

[phone-a-holic]

Holding on to my Note 10 until the last day to send back.

 

[mjs2011]

I may be cancelling my entire order. I don't like the sound of this at all. Especially not for a device costing $1449.

lol don’t cancel your order because of one case of this

 

[Liquid_Chaos87]

That's not good...oh well. The desert has a dry heat Won't get too worried yet

Physics.... no one can change the laws of physics.

*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.
