Soooo… I’ve never had this issue on any other phone before. Is it normal to get condensation inside the camera lense (wide angle and telephoto)?
it’s dried out now, but I can see spots on the inside of the lense now that the water is gone, I can only imagine this getting worse over time, affecting quality. is this worth an RMA?
new pixel with not ready for prime time gremlins, you don’t say, where have i heard that before, except with every single pixel release since the dawn of time. every one.
I’ve never had that happen with my 8 Pro. I’d assume that means it’s not air tight, so you might want to at least open a ticket with Google for it.
It shouldn’t be air tight, otherwise it could break from pressure changes
No, it is not normal as far as I know (within the world of smartphones). However, this was a widely reported problem with one of Xiaomi’s recent flagships so it could be a similar design flaw.
Bro it’s a Pixel. Few hardware issues are just expected at this point and I’m not defending Google, they have a bad track record with shitty hardware.
I owned 2 Pixel 8 devices and both had very different haptic motors, one of them would just make a plunk sound and the other one would give you an uncomfortable buzz. Google’s hardware design and consistency is lacking compared to other brand phones. Plus even though both were the same unlocked 128GB model, one of them was missing software features (3d wallpaper generation with AI for example), like what?
My 9 pro did this last Friday when sitting on the AC vent in my car which I too have never seen before.
My 8 pro sat in the same place many times.
Sounds like a common issue then
