It is well known problem of Samsungs, starting from Galaxy S II if I remember correctly.
It is hardware issue, difficult to remove due to lens build.

I've been in Sonoma this week for a wedding. I've taken over 250 pictures in every possible lighting condition. I've been nothing but impressed with the camera. Really low light isn't great but it's better than other Samsung phones. Low light can still get you some impressive results.
Macro shots are impressive too.
I'm sorry you're having an issue but it's definitely not universal.

It is visible in plain scene mostly, maybe you can't see such effect. Conditions must be met ^^

I'll check the next time I find the need to shoot a white wall in a dimly lit room. I don't participate in threads that require replicating conditions I'll never or rarely face to create a problem. It's kind of a 'If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound'? thing. If I'm not in the forest I don't care.

Brushed Effect under the screen of Note 4

Hey guys, I just noticed my Note 4, when the screen is off and under direct sunlight, I can easily see a "brushed effect" under the screen. It looks like brushed glue between the screen and digitizer.
I did check my S3, and two S4's, and two Galaxy tab pro's to compare, and I don't see anything on the other devices.
Do you mind please checking your Phablets and post yoyr findings here so we know if this is a "characteristic", and not a fault of the phone...
\Many thanks

Edit: The effect I am referring to looks like the back cover of a colored Galaxy S3 like pebble blue other than white.

Below is a brushed aluminumm effect for example:
If your device looks like the first photo, then it's good as it's the same in every Note 4. If not, please send us a photo so we can see how it looks. Cheers!

Hi
The effect I am describing is under the main (viewing) screen, not around it. And it looks like the one in your second picture. it can be seen when outside under direct sunlight. I accidentally discovered it today when I used the phone outside.
I tried to take a picture with my dslr, but It wouldn't focus very near and would not show...

looks like I'm the only one again with this issue, just like the buzzing screen on my Tab Pro 8.4 (see my signature)

just to update this thread, the brush effect under the main screen is the same on two others I have checked...

Galaxy S5 Camera Quality Deteriorating

Hey all!
So my sister has had get S5 for a while now, she likes the phone immensely. However she's pointed out an issue which I haven't come accross before. Over the last year and a bit, her camera quality has gotten awful. When she first got the phone, it was taking good quality, in focus pictures. Now, although they aren't blurry, they're somewhat not focused and grainy - as if she was taking a photo with the S1 for example.
See below photos for reference. If it's the lens that's dirty - I'll simply replace it. Not sure if it's firmware or not. I also found it incredibly difficult to focus whilst takin the first photo.
Thanks!
Photo take on the S5

My camera covering glass is differrent from that of yours

you have already the answer in your last picture , the glass of the camera is full of dust thats the reason look for a tutorial on how to clean it or take it to an expert to do it for you

Dark spot on camera

I have had this phone for three months, and have taken care of the phone very carefully. Now this random dark spot appears on the none wide angle camera in photos and videos. I haven't done anything that I can think of that would cause this other than accepting this big update on my phone a week or so ago. Anyone know if it's defective, or something else like software? This is the Canadian Rogers LG G6 version. I love this phone and just got it no long ago... I have no idea what I should do, because it ruins certain videos or pictures now. Here's a video to show what I mean, https://youtu.be/31gP0E3hmwo

Weird - did you take an extended video of the sun? Also, I'm sure you already have cleaned the camera glass many times, but when you clean it, did you look closely for anything out of the ordinary, maybe trapped between the outer glass and the inner lens?

No, I always avoid getting the sun into my camera for the fear burning the lens. Only thing I can think of my lens getting a lot of light is when taking extreme zoom in pictures of leaves that were in the sun one of those zoom in clip on lenses. Though the camera was facing down on leaves and not towards the sun.

I will have to look at the lens again when cleaning, because I didn't notice anything before.

I just did another test while looking for dust on the lens with a soft flashlight and this spot turned into something else. So confused, because I don't see anything when I look at it. Here I recorded it https://youtu.be/ujwJEvfcQ44

I think there is something between the lens and the sensor. I would send it to repair.

I've the same problem few month ago, I just shake the phone because I thought it was a dust and the dark spot disappeared

I'll trying shaking it before sending it to repair, hopefully shaking works, thanks for the ideas.

Camera Lens Flare

Anyone else getting this in photos where theres a bright light the side? Would be suggestive of poor anti glare coating on the lens.

Example ..... The green circle on the shed doesn't exist and is the lens reflected in the photo. Another example showing the shed without the ring but with the flare.

Lens Flare + Frodo Ring
Hi,
we have two problems as far as I can understand it.
1. Lens flare (on bright lights, causing the rays)
2. Frodo-Ring (the golden ring, caused by sunlight from the side about 90° angle)
I have extracted 3 pictures from the frodo ring from the oneplus forum over there.
I assume we are the same guys https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/problems-with-cam.1218969/

Also this strange effect from night light.
Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk

Question is how much of this is "normal" how much are all cameras on the OP8pro affected by this ? Is it a faulty design ? Not all my photos have these effects,it's only in certain lighting conditions. If I RMA will the replacement be like this?
Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk

Maybe Oneplus will do a statment soon? Maybe it can be fixed with an update?
My device is going back, really loved it. But this is not good.... Not at that price tag, sorry

Since finding the threads about lens flaring I'm now spotting it all the time on my 8 Pro main camera
The ultrawide doesn't seem to be affected anywhere near as, bad but even watching TV it's still visible.
Really want to like this phone but OnePlus haven't made it easy!

I've had none of this, wipe your camera lens lol it's not as bad as some others.
This happens if it's smeared with grease etc.

If you test for it,you'll find it. You can see it here at 50sec and at 2.20. https://youtu.be/V40l25LUoEc
I've cleaned and cleaned the lens and it's not resolved.

Ok then it's your lens mate, I do not have this like I said. Not at all.
I've had devices like the HTC 10 which is the mother of all devices to have glare and flares. I don't see that on the device. Even the P20 pro had it, it's one of my major gripes with phone cameras, it's completely not noticeable to be on the Pro

Flare
Guys did anyone find a fix? Do all OnePlus have these?
It's so bad unable to take may night shots with street lamps and no day light shots in sun

Any solution for this? It's so bad near street lights and in the sun
