Hi guys, I just got my k20 pro an hour back and i have to say its one amazing device.
I wanted to ask fellow k20 users, does your front camera sit in flush with the body or does it sit just a slightly more inside. On the device i got, if you move your finger on the metal frame, you can feel the camera sits just a bit more inside. I dont know if this is across all k20 pro or just mine.
Also while closing the pop up camera, if you look closely, you notice that the camera moves slightly towards the left and then closes. Its pretty quick so you have to look carefully. Is it the mechanism? Idk if I am being paranoid but i just wanted to confirm with other k20 users so that if theres something wrong with the device then I can get it exchanged in the return period.
I don't see the movement you're mentioning, but the camera indeed sits ever-so-slightly inside. I think that's mainly by design, and I also saw it in the P2i UK coating video which was shown at the time of its launch.
I see the same with my Mi 9T (K20). When the camera is extended it's also tilted to the right a bit. I can correct this with a gentle push to the left. But also -as you mentioned- you'll see it being pulled straight first when closing. It's no biggy, but I noticed it right away at first use.

Hi
I have a camera issue on my note 8. At night time I get these bright spots near any bright light source. I've attached a picture to show this. The spots move position on the screen as I move the phone around. Anyone else got this? My camera lens in clean.
I believe it is from the refraction of the light thru the glass over the lens. Happens all the time with a bright light source going through a filter or other glass materials.

Thanks but I've never seen this before. Can anyone else replicate this?
try wiping the camera
I tried wiping the lens - it is clean and clear.
Here is a video of the problem - the movement of the spots tells me this is not a hot pixel on the CCD but something else bobafx is likely right about refraction, but I have never had this issue with a camera before.

guys (and gals) this may be a common problem with this phone, see here:

at various points (55s - 1:08s) you can see the dot I've talked about
and also see here:

im currently talking to samsung on chat about this...
I have the same issue with my note 8. So i checked other Samsung phones, 3 different galaxy s7, galaxy s7 edge and galaxy s8+. All of the phones have the exact same dots when in low light near a light source.

Is this issue on USA models only that use Sony sensors? Just took this video.

I'm still not seeing this on my cameras. I've been going out in front of my house at night and shooting inside my house and at the gas station and other spots during the night and I'm not seeing it.
Got the same problem, strangely enough I've never noticed something like this in my Note 5 so I think this is specific to either my unit (or a batch) or the entire Note 8 model.
Now I can't test my note 5's camera as the glass is cracked.
Attached are some sample photos from me - I must admit this is a pretty annoying issue.
I need to find someone at work with a Note 8 and do a direct comparison. If I succeed, I'll update you guys with my findings.
@msx999 Let me know the result of your contact with Samsung (if you ever have any) please.
Are you talking about the light from the street light reflecting from glass back of the phone and hitting the street? Maybe because back is like mirror and reflects light back, like a mirror? It would be easy fix, put the cover on, or tape something non reflective on the back as a temporary fix. Either that or I'm not seeing what you see.

Hi pete4k, I'm talking about the light reflections from the car's lights and the street lights as highlighted on the photos.
You can move the location of those reflections just by tilting the phone - it's happening within the lens or between the len's glass and the image sensor.

Hi Maciekd
I still think at least some of the pics show reflection of the street light off the back of the phone, acting like a mirror. The angle and shape of the the reflection seem to be right. But maybe I'm wrong, maybe it is something reflecting inside the cam, but I have not seen it on my pics to investigate more, however I did see the light reflections off the back, so was thinking maybe it's the same, but if it's not, it's not.
I think this is indeed reflection. But I don't think eveyone is having the same issue.
I think this might be an issue limited to my unit or maybe some batch.
Dot defect reflection problem on note 8
I have the same problem exactly.
Been replaced the camera part and the result is still the same but minimize the dot's size only. But still annoying to have this problem at the note 8 compare to its price.
Even before clicking take shoot or recording, I can see there are dots in display.
just wondering. Not all unit have this issue. I've seen a post that no dot defect at all from other forum.
So it maybe only some unit have the problem.
Will going back to Samsung service center and ask a replacement unit. See if approve or not.
The same problem, note 8, Europe, bright moving spots, never seen before on older models...
Same
Yes..Same thing for me. Only when you are shooting something that is directly flaring like lights or something blindly at night but once you out focus them. The camera is just fine
everytme i take a night time video with lights near by I get these tiny dots... look at link below for more.

guys is this a physical defect? I need to know asap..
long time lurker, first time poster, I'm a 'hip kid' who does frequently take selfies, and i think the miezu pro 7 did selfies justice by adding a back screen, but am i totally crazy to say that i'd give up selfies totally (or at least switch to rear camera selfies) as long as i'd have a totally bezelless display? phones within the past year have been moving to a 'tri bezelless' design by moving everything to the bottom, and it looks like the rise of microsoft zunes.. gross.. i'd totally give up my front facing camera if i had 0 bezels whatsoever, can anyone agree?
Still need the front facing camera
Hey there,
I'm also a newbie here.
I think the bezel-less design on phones will definitely go further, but I don't think I can give up the front facing camera just to have a 0 bezel phone.
Cheers
do you think we'll ever get the point where the edge of the LCD panel will be the only bezel? it's already a thing on TV's, why not phones? and what about under display cameras? Vivo and synaptic did it with fingerprint scanners, why not cameras? its doable since the new vivo phone's sensor basically is a camera
The p20 pro is delivered with a screen protector. On top of this is also an extra layer of plastic with a red tab at the top, meant to be removed before using the phone. I have to leave this second plastic layer on the phone to be allowed to return it.
Scrolling isn't good on the device. It's like the phone hold off scrolling until I've moved my finger some distance in a direction. This causes scrolling to be unsmooth and I'm not sure if it is due to the extra plastic layer interfering with touch sensitivity or if I have a faulty device or even worse: this is the way it is.
See video below for illustration. Notice how scrolling won't move right away with the finger. How are your phones with this? I hope that it's just the plastic but I'd rather not risking it to rip it off and find the issue remaining and no return.
Comparing on my current phone, a note 8, scrolling follows the finger right away.

It's not the plastic protector that's causing it. I have removed it and mine is exactly the same.

Sad to hear it. It makes the scrolling experience feel like something from the entry level. I really wanted to like this phone but it seems the camera is all that's going for it in my book.

Seems to be a Huawei thing. I've had the same on a Honor 9 but it was much worse as it made it impossible to use it like I use my phones normally. It doesn't bother me too much on this one even though I notice it. On the Honor 9 it was hardware fault or just a bad digitizer because I had another Honor 9 too which was just fine and instant in the scrolling. It might be the digitizer this time around too. If I enable "show touches" under developer options it just doesn't trace the finger when doing smaller movements.

Same thigh here. It behaves the same way when showing touches so something tells me this may not be software but it's hard to tell. Seems some do not have the problem but I kind of get the feeling that non power users may not even notice it. I'm just the kind of person taking note of things like that this and it ruins the entire experience.
Add the horrible oversized ui to this and a few of the other kinks and suddenly all this phone seem to offer is a great camera and a lovely placed fingerprint sensor.
This seems to be the same issue as we are having in this thread.
Here is a video of the issue that I made. Note this is without the plastic interface OP was mentioning.

It's the same issue, no doubt!
I've received my redmi K20 pro for only 2 weeks now and I've noticed that my main 48MP lens has been collecting dust since. The phone is in perfect shape. No leakage or anything. I've been using the case that was in the package. Is there anyone else who has the same problem? I've attached the picture.
No similar experience?
I have! But not the main camera, but only under the wide camera.. Annoying, but dont use the wide camera that often!

Yeah, you are luckier than me. I donno even why this is happening.
Must be a fault from the manufacturing. Since it has started to build up as soon as I got the phone.

No but my back panel got some thin scretches as I don't use back case or any protector now i am thinking to buy transparent thin protector film for back panel.
Welp, similar issue now rises with Redmi Note 9/9S/9 Pro users at a greater number:

Hi, unfortunately after using k20 pro for a year and half. Now i can see some dust particles collecting under my wide angle camera glass. I don't know whether this is a manufacturer defect or not cause i didn't see that earlier.
By the way do anyone figure out how to clean them?
I don't know what everyone else's experience is with quality control but here's mine:
The first X5 Pro I had, I had to return for a replacement because I discovered in low light (dark room) there was a stuck pixel on the screen which was permanently lit green. This isn't acceptable on £1000+ device.
Now, my replacement device feels different in the hand. People will probably think I have OCD, but it looks like the ceramic back is actually somehow a fraction of a millimetre smaller than it should be, therefore the aliminium edges of the device do not blend seamlessly into the ceramic back cover and give that smooth, pebble-like feel. It now feels like I have a sharp edge resting against my palm or fingers when I hold the device.
Most people would probably not notice this but I do.
My wife has the X5 Pro in Black and doesn't have this issue.
I read somewhere about the ceramic milling process means that every since piece of ceramic is unique, but obviously within a certain tolerance, and the backs are matched up with the camera lenses during the production process.
I've attached a picture to try and convey what I am talking about. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the back of my first device, which felt perfect in the hand.
It looks like there is around 0.5mm gap between the back and the edge of the device.
Would you return your device due to this, especially when you know what it should be like?
Morning chap,
Re the green pixel, I haven't had any and agree is unacceptable.
Re the back. I have a slight edge too but assumed that's how they all were. Doesn't bother me as I have a case around it. You may want to return it if it really is annoying you and you are 100pc sure that the first handset was seamless...(are you sure? Mind tricks?)...but no guarantee a replacement will be any different.
Interested to see how you get on.

Haha, yeah, my first thought was mind tricks, but my wife has the black one and it defo doesn't dig into your hand in the same way. Looking at them side by side, the back on her black X5 pro blends seamlessly into the frame whereas mine has an obvious lip.
Yes you are right about a replacement being no guarantee of being better. This is the first phone in 10+ years that I am using without a case because it feels so natural to hold, but when it digs into your hand and you can feel the ridge, it definitely isn't pleasant to hold.
Anyway, phoned the carrier and after a lengthy call with me trying to explain the issue to one of their first line tech support, it's getting replaced by courier tomorrow.
If this was an iPhone there would be threads all over twitter with people going bananas so I don't see how I should need to settle for second best when this phone costs more than most iPhone models bar the 13 pro max!
This is a good review with hi-res images of the sides of the phone, and on which you can see no visible lip (although harder to see on the black model).

Ha now you got me thinking!
I can't hold this phone without a case, too slippery.
Agree, regardless when you spend a grand and ain't happy you should deal with it, no matter the issue. See if you can put up an image of the Mrs phone
Will do when she gets home
So, got the replacement and it definitely does not have the same issue.
This one is perfect, the back blends seamlessly into the sides.
Pleased you're happy mate. The pix don't make it easy to see the difference if I'm being honest. I'd kick off with Oppo if I were you. 1000 quid phone.
