Tiny dust under camera glass anybody else?

Droid4g27 · Nov 19, 2014

Can anybody else confirm they found at least one lil tiny dust under the camera glass? I just got mine right now and put it under a bright led light and found a super tiny one underneath on the side of the lens but not on it but its only noticeable if you put it under a bright light ....i dunno should i be worried and exchange it?

You did take the plastic off of the lens, right?

If it is not affecting your picture quality, don't worry about it. I have a Canon SLR (big glass) lens with some dust on the interior that I cannot clean and there is no noticeable impact to the images.

I worry about scratching the Note4 lens cover while phone is in my pocket with keys or on the desk.
Is there a way to replace the lens cover if it gets scratched?

Why does every damn note 4 I looked at has at least one tiny dust under the camera glass? You guys should check yours using a bright flashlight or led im pretty sure u will see one I looked at least 5 note 4s today and they all had one but you only will see it if u put a light on the camera and inspect it.

I also have had issues with the dust under the camera lens of TWO BRAND NEW Galaxy NOTE 4's in a row. I took the phone out of the box and immediately looked at the lens with my loupe and DUST AGAIN! I can tell it's under the lens cover without taking off the protective plastic. The dust looks like skin because it's not a fiber but a small white flake. the dust is small but on a 16 MP camera, that is HUGE. Do not tell me I have to return another one! SAMSUNG, THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

Not to mention the whole thing is loaded with dust on the outside RIGHT out of the box. Also Inoticed very fine scratches on the metal edges. SHAME SHAME Samsung.

I had the same issue with mine, but when I brought it back the store they told me to deal with it.

They told you to deal with it?? That shows up in your photos and movies. What kind of service is that? This stuff should be getting assembled in a clean room. I'm curious if this was AT&T. When I told them (AT&T) I had particles under the camera cover and I wanted to replace it, they tried to charge a $35 restocking fee. That is terrible policy to return a defective phone and get hit with a restocking fee but that is their policy. VERY BAD policy.
