It is UNDERNEATH the round glass that protects the lens, so its on the actual lens. It doesnt show up on pictures when im in the camera, and it focuses perfectly on whatever I click - ergo, it doesnt affect pictures but I wanna hear if anyone else has this "issue".
Images attached, open in Windows Picture Viewer (or whatever you use) at a reasonable size, cause the resolution is 2560x1920, which is too blurry in full-size.
On first picture its on left side, and 2nd picture its on the upper. Its a white line (the blue-greenish is just a light reflecting!)
When applying Lens-protection I did NOT notice this (I would've if it had been there) - could a little (big?) dust particle have slid its way in, some crazy how? Cause wouldn't it ruin the camera if the lens had such a big scratch?
I have it too on my lens
hi guys! im noticed the camera takes horrible photos resolution!!!! i was disney today and i cant take anyphotos because all of them was taken blurry and low resolution. but with the front camera the photos seems good resolution and more clearly.. is very annoying... anybody has the same problem???
i try with all setting and nothing change and the resolution settin is on max (8Megapixels)
Try these two things, clean the lens & either turn in or turn off the anri-shake. I was getting all kinds of lens flares and didn't even realize the lens was covered in my finger oils. Turning the anti shake was bad but after I turned it off then back in the pictures seem to have gotten better. BTW this phone has one if the worse possible placements of a flash and lens. I've had the flash reflect off my finger and it messes with the photo. GL hope your problem was like mine.

Mine was a bit blurry as well and then as I looked more closely at the rear lens I found that the guy who installed my Screen protector on the front also installed a protector on the rear as well and it covered the rear lens. Upon taking that screen protector off the rear lens the pictures were very clear and had no blur on them. I had wondered why at first the pictures were clear and then turned blurry after.
So, after applying a proper camera lense protector to the phone, I finally started to play with it. And in low light I'm seeing a lot of static on certain colored furniture or items on the floor, while taking a photo. The images in low light are also quite blurry. Is this due to the lense cover or normal?
I actually took the lense cover off and the static is much less now. Kinda sucks, there does not seem to be proper protection for the lenses without losing image quality. Would a liquid glass coating do?
I where polarized sunglasses. With all my previous phones, I've never had a problem with polarized sunglasses. With the new Note 10+, the screen is very difficult to read. And as I rotate the screen, I get different shading going from dark to very washed out. Almost impossible to read the screen. Has anyone else had any problems with polarized sunglasses? Any solutions? (besides not wearing polarized glasses)
Hi,
a lot of smartphone use a polarized technology to enhance the display. Including iPhones...
If you do not want to, or cannot, remove your glasses, the only way is changing phone and testing it before.
Sorry
I have seen something like you describe, but with those privacy glass protectors, some make the screen look of at certain angles not just at the outmost angles that suposedly the should work, some even make the screen look stripped, in your case, try with some other polarized eyeglasses, in the end, it is somewhat expected, as the polarization alters the light coming into the eye
I noticed that with polarized glasses the screen has almost a prism effect where I can see a lot of different colors. Most notably the left and right curved edges of the screen turn solid green. My Note 9 looked dimmer with polarized glasses on but never gave off the colors I see with this phone.
Yeah I have aura black on the back and aura glow on the front lol
Take a look here
Part of what you are seeing may be the stress pattern in the gorrila glass. Polarized light>glass>polarized glasses.
Solid plastic (and especially tempered glass) exhibit this effect as well however soft plastic protectors will not.
Does everyone have these extreme lense flares / reflections on night shots? Don't think I've ever seen it this bad... Hopefully they'll be able to improve this through software updates
Lens flare is a big problem on the P6P even during the day when the sun rays hit at an angle #Won'tFix Unfortunately it's a lens problem and can't be fixed with software
If not fixed I hope it can be reduced... Is extreme in some cases
I haven't noticed a single flare at all with night shots the street lights or even in doors in direct lighting, sometimes at a certain angle in previous phones I have had it but nothing on my p6p
Yeah, it's bad.
Not as much as that but I do get that.

Yeah. I went to a festival here in Korea called the lantern festival, so it's held mostly at night and I had a buncha shots I had to throw away because of the flare, and a lot were hazy, I thought maybe it was my camera lens being dirty but the next shot was fine after the processing.
Haze and lens flare
Haze
45 degree turn from the previous photo, no issues
One of the better shots but too much HDR
I'm having massive lens flare on my pro like you op. other photos in this thread are acceptable imo. I can't tell if there's an issue or not. it's horrible, no matter what street light or x-mas light its pointed at. and night mode shots, forget it. too bad there's no way tom compare shots unless they are side by side.
running the latest 8.4.300.xxx18 version for the camera app. it drastically fixed front camera preview. so not sure if this issue will be fixed or if my cam is effed (no lens protector and tried it with no case also)
Come on guys when you say you aren't getting any flare. It depends how close you are to street lights. It doesn't happen at a distance from strong street lights. I get it on P6P and am sure you will if you try it. It is not faulty as I had same issue on S21 Ultra main lens but not as severe. Here's a shot I took
I didnt notiece it much. Maybe because of snow

Need to be much closer
Here more examples closer to light and further away
My opinion is, that P6P has problem with the flares, but main problem I see is that Nightsight tries to lighten up the scene, and thinks that the flares are shadows that should be lightened up. But I admit, I pointed my pixel to light source and id did show some flaring, but not as much as your photos.
all phones do that. Even my s21 ultra and my gf's 13 pro max

Nah man, maybe to some degree, but this is ridiculous. I still have my previous phone, Oppo Find X2 Pro, and it's not even nearly as bad there. I'll post some side-by-side comparison shots soon
P6 (Pro) has heavy lens flare, it's a known problem. Hopefully Google can somehow tune it down with software updates.
What also helps is making sure that the lens is pristine, meaning you need to make sure its properly cleaned before you make photos. Even a little bit of smudge or dust or something can cause lens flare. Hopefully that means it's a software thing-y.
It's got absolutely nothing to do with dirty lens, that purple lens flare is light bouncing off the lens or sensor inside.

Are you talking from experience? Having the camera bump cleaned does help with lens flare, just try it out yourself. There was a reddit discussion about this and people were adamant about it, I tried it out and it somewhat helps.
Also, your "logic" is not quite thorough.
If there is dirt/smudge/whatever above the lens/camera, of course that could cause lens flare, since that will reflect/redirect light. With a rough surface, reflected light rays scatter in all directions.
For reference
I get lens flare when using Canon L lenses (and one of them retails just under £2000) it is the nature of the beast shooting into bright sources of light though a lens.

Correct, some degree of lens flare is almost unavoidable. The P6 has, however, relatively heavy/often lens flare present - that was not present (as heavily) in previous Pixel phone iterations/sensors. Hopefully Google can somehow tune this down. It's distracting and most often or not ruins an otherwise great shot.
