with the same "dark yellow" flash?

Dark yellow flash.. did you have the blue light filter on? Try another selfie with the filter off.

Yup the filter is off .. Tried but nothing.
Is it already white not yellow in normal?

Nope, the yellowish is normal. It's the same here. Guess under very dark conditions it will be helpful and the tone helps with natural colors.

You have to watch on it in the night or where is totally dark. And if you zoom in this photo/screen shot you can see that middle part is totally dark and edges are more light.
And yes I removed lens protection sticker

I played a little bit with Photoshop with your black picture. I think it is totally normal that you cannot get a real 100% black picture out of a cam. A dark room is not 100% black for your cam. Maybe for your eyes. And even if you would make a photo of an ideal 100% black room in the end you would make a photo of your cameras chip noise. But the picture for me looks more like a litte rest of light the camera could fetch.

Ok looks like you make my pic way easy to see for everyone but you can check if is same at yours s5 ?
I just need to know if every s5 have a same issue because my nexus5 in same room same time have no this issue !!
I tried to make a black picture. it looks similar to yours but it is nearly black (more than yours). I pressed my black soft S5 bag on the camera lens.
So I still think its not an issue but it shows that the S5 camera is much more sensitiv to distinguish between black and nearly black than other cameras that recognize 100% black where the S5 recognizes 98% black. No issue for me.
I would like to say that samsung galaxy s4 have no this issue so I go to change my s5 for new.... again.... what for full of problems phone... really disappointed. ... photo is prove
From which camera was the last picture you posted? Its not 100% black like all the others.

What you are looking for is a theoretical ideal camera that makes a 100% black picture of a 100% black original. You won't find such a camera anywhere.

Anyone find the white balance of the camera is unusal under white light

When I was checking the phone,I found the white balance of the camera turned to yellow under white light. I think it had nothing to do with the screen. Just want to know if anyone feels the same? This is about hardware or software?
Yeah... I find the camera is generally a little warm. Easily fixed in post though. But better straight out of the phone than the much cooler cast of my Moto x.

I usually use Affinity Photo on my Mac, but you could do it in-phone with something like Snapseed.

Is your Iris Scanner always blue?

Seems on the far right at the top of the phone, the Iris Scanner's blue light or whatever is always on. It's almost like a notification light that never turns off. Anyone else seeing this?

Thats just the color of the lens

Makes sense as it's an IR camera, reflective coating to reject most visible light.

Thanks. It's the one thing about the phone I do not like. Its quite reflective and distracting while looking at the screen.
I must admit I didn't notice this last night when inside, however when I used it this morning in daylight it is pretty blue. Quite annoying really but I suppose I will get used to it
i have been having the same issue with the light blue light. its not the lens or reflection either. most of the time its on and hurts my eyes if i look at it to long. that or maybe its just big brother watching 24/7. haha

Finally we get dark mode for pixel dialer!

Here you can see
That looks really cool!
How did you get it? Version no.?
Nvm... Got it from apkmirror... v26
Thanks for sharing!
Just installed it... very cool.
Thanks for the heads up, also if you were trying to hide a real number for home, I would recommend remove the photo.
I can still make out the numbers in the screenshot.

Google didn't miss the point, the idea was to give the user an option, in their apps, of a DARK skin, not black!
Dark gray is a fine option.

Given they stated power savings as one of their reasons for doing it, yes they did, black saves power on an oled and dark grey makes an oled look like an LCD.

Totall agree... Black skins are awful and looks old, like andoid 4 ones. Google should have all their apps in dark mode, I don't understand why they are launching them one on one...

True...
Grey means those pixels are 'ON' and thus are consuming power.
So what's the point?

I don't know. Not being blinded by all the white and instead being greeted by a more aesthetically pleasing and easy on the eyes grey, I guess. Black would be so Android Gingerbread, so 2010.
It's enabled on mine but I don't have the option to switch it back off. Any ideas?

Disable Dark theme in your settings of the phone. When dark theme is enabled, the apps automatically default to dark mode.
Ah! The good old days of of Gingerbread and Jellybeans!

I agree. Pure black just looks so... junk. The dark grey is nice.

And this is a Brand New sealed box Galaxy Note 20 Ultra!
I need help to report this issue to Samsung, i cant find any reference online, tried with my GN20 Ultra and my wifes as well.
Alright, heres the issue. In a very dark room, when trying dark mode with the ultra wide lense, 50% of time after a long processing time, photo comes as a white noise with lines, i will post some pictures, and trust me i can make this happen anytime. So far it only happens with the ultra wide lense using dark mode on a really dark environment like stated.
Ok so now after uploading some photos i realized while zooming happens the same, wtf!
Can someone else please give this a try and report back!
I would say these Pics are enough as reference.

Can you try with your N20U?
I could not replicate.

That could be hardware (the banding indicates that)... if it persists.
Noise should be more or less evenly spread out.
See if lower temperatures alter it.
Try clearing cam data and clear the system cache from the boot menu. Do a hard reboot.
My thought is it will still be there...
Just tried as you suggested, not happening on my Ultra (SD).

Did you try in a completely dark room? Dark mode enabled and ultra wide lense?
UPDATE:
I went to Best Buy and exchanged the unit, now i have a "brand new sealed box" Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, i went home, went to the closet, really really dark, dark mode enabled, using ultra wide lense, out of 5 shots, got 3 with the same strange noise!
Possible RF interference?
Any RF sources nearby ie a router, nearby radar, radio antenna etc?

Nothing, i just did a screen recorder, so i can sort of prove whats happening, but idk if i can upload videos here! It keeps happening, but like i said, dark room, as soon the sensor sees any sort of light it will give me a pictured as expected, grainy, or dark but a picture!
This is crazy, and i can do the same with my wifes GN20 Ultra!

Grainy is normal, prominent lines are not.
In a perfectly dark room you'll see random background noise from the cam sensor it's self; this is normal.
If you cool the cam the noise level will decrease and increase as it gets hotter.

If it captures ok low light images... I'd say don't worry about it.
Play with it and have some fun...

It was not completely dark but I just tried again in a completely dark room and just got a normal black picture. I'll try a couple more times later incase its not consistent.
