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?
I would certainly try.
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
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

I agree, it’s not gunna get any better and could get worse with time. I’d be worried about the waterproof/resistance ability of it (idk what the rating is). Doesn’t hurt to open a ticket with Google
