Samsung allegedly says fog inside the Galaxy Note 20's camera is normal, according to one user

The recently announced Galaxy Note 20 has launched in Korea, unsurprisingly finding much popularity immediately following release. However, some users of the device are apparently unhappy with the device, which may have a serious flaw in the camera system.

One such user, who goes by the moniker ‘Stinger1’, took to Samsung’s Korean community forum to post photos of the device, which show each of the Note 20’s three rear lenses completely covered by what appears to be fog. The post explains that the phenomenon occurs when the phone experiences temperature changes, such as taking it indoors from a hot summer day to an air-conditioned building, and a number of users have commented similar experiences, corroborating this account.

As it stands, the issue does not seem to directly impair camera function, but it still renders any photos taken virtually unusable, as can be seen in the example photo below. The problem, if widespread and not a few isolated cases, is even more serious when considering that it affects all of the phone's lenses and cannot be solved by software updates.

One major point to note is that these reports are not yet officially substantiated. Samsung has not acknowledged the issue on any of its official platforms, and the alleged reply from the company is also yet to be confirmed.

Hopefully this does not happen in all the Note 20 Ultra phones and this is the only incident!
