Looks like some people with review units are reporting that their Note 20 Ultra cameras are fogging up, there is moisture in the lens that was not there out of the box. Also some are saying there are dust particles in the camera lens. Hopefully these are isolated issues in review units.
Samsung's response in the attached thumbnail is not very encouraging though.

Dammit, hopefully i don't run into this. Kind of hard to keep my device from big temperature differences when winters around here can get to -50c in the winter and I certainly don't keep my vehicle anywhere near that...

LOL Gore vents are supposed to prevent this from happening!
-50C... that's super common. And I bet you'd be whipping your phone out all over the place to take pics and make calls too.

You must be in a seriously remote part of Canada.
-50 with bare hands/thin gloves for pics must mean a lot of frost bite for you. Tell your company to get you a point and shoot camera rather than risking your $1800+ phone. They're dirt cheap now and you could leave your big mitts on.

I'm in the Winnipeg area, so I feel ya.
Even with them covering part of the phone I'd be scared.
This honestly does not seem like a big issue at all. Every where there is some freak out about the devices that does not carry on. I live in Japan. It gets absolutely muggy here during the summer. People take a device that is built of metal and glass from a cold, air conditioned environment of 20C with little humidity and then suddenly step outside in temperatures in the 30C's with humidity near 80%, then expect this cooled glass and metal sandwich to ignore the laws of physics?? It has been rainy in Seoul, Korea the past week.
It is good to note any issues that a newly launched phone may have, yet I think people take things to the extreme these days. Every new phone is going to have a specific number of units with failures and defects.
Or they rushed out a product and released it before fully testing
Err that’s one user? Hardly an issue.
Do you think they done something to camera glass due to the incidents that happened with the s20 ultra
I mean they did something related to pressure as some s20U was broken with no reason as if they where under pressure
I saw people comment that this was an issue on older samsungs too when moving from extreme temperatures. Doesn't seem like too big of an issue as long as it returns to normal after the device warms up. This is an issue with camera lenses for real cameras as well.

That means the issue is not widespread, which is good. Someone on Samsung reddit posted they had this issue in USA I believe.

The back of my Nexus 4 is not sparkling AT ALL. When you look in the light you can see the individual dots but there is no sparkle, they are all the same muted color hidden beneath the glass. Anyone else having this problem?
androidcentral (dot) com/another-new-wave-nexus-4s-shipping
That's exactly what it looks like, no sparkle, no nothing.
I got this today in the second wave of Nexus 4 coming in.
this thread is probably going to get locked, but it has to catch the light just right for it to "sparkle"

Well the picture is showed by that thread that i provided on another site but okay I guess.
As you can see you saw the dots but they aren't different colors and don't sparkle. The second picture is in the sunlight.
I have the same "issue" as TC, it doesn't sparkle like in the videos or pictures I've seen. The effect is very weak but perhaps it does require strong light like sun rays.

It does require strong light at the right angles to "sparkle." I'm sure still having the glass protection on doesn't help either.

No, it's a good thing you posted pictures. It is definitely because you still have the factory plastic on the back. It really, really dulls the effect. I had the same disappointment when I first got my N4. I was actually going to post a topic about it but then my full body protector arrived and I peeled off the factory protector and applied the new one and now it sparkles beautifully. Peel that plastic off and then report back.
LOL he got a replacement phone anyway? you can just keep your charger, then you have 2! 2 usb cables are nice for a usb car charger or something
anyway, if your phone is flawless, you might be better off cancelling that replacement because what if your new phone has issues? You are unable to send the new phone back because then you will be charged again. Always that fear... then you'll have to deal with another RMA but this time you have a faulty phone in your hands.
also remove that plastic on the back as suggested.

It shouldn't, but this is Samsung we're talking about. A number of users already confirmed that they're having the same issue on multiple threads. I'm guessing this is happening because of the S Pen slot. It shouldn't be doing that, but we're used to Samsung doing this.

Samsung, like any manufacturer has issues, I think you will find the QC at Samsung is among the best. I wonder too, is the first thing some people do when getting something is look for defects? I mean, yeah, if they pop up while using it, then you go from there, but I like to actually use and enjoy my device first
As for the issue, my right speaker grille does have a VERY TINY bit of play if you tap it, it's not noticeable in normal use and will NOT affect anything important. A user fixed it easily, so if it is bothersome, you can always do what he did.

You will never find perfection, not in anything made my the hands of man anyway. There is not one company out there that puts out 100% perfect products, not one.
It's the price of being an early adopter Computer manufacturers make all kinds of revisions, heck the early LCDs had ghosting. These days though almost everything feels like beta.

Same here. Protective films on the side and back are still intact, on top of that I'm using QuickWindow
Me too using a quick window and a screen-guard. I dropped it few times from 1.5m height. Landed on the back, bounced turned around, opened the quick window cover, hit the front and slide around 1m or little bit more on tiles.
So glad I had a protector, or the case that it mattered. Once it popped out of the case. But that was about it.
I should also note. IT WAS THE QUICK WINDOW CASE FAULT that it dropped in the first place... I am not sure who design these things.
But my hands are not build to hold it... I still didn't figure out a way of holding it and using it properly.....
---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------
To answer the question. No its not too fragile. Its an average phone in that department in my experience. Everything depends on the luck of the drop and protective measures if any.
I've developed the habit of hooking one of my fingers into the window case so that in the event that it slips, I'll still be grabbing it by the window. Worked so far for me!

I dont think it's fragile at all, or it's at least as strong as it needs to be for me. The 2nd day I got my G2, my daughter got a hold of it and dropped it from about her waist level onto tile. (she's only 2 and 1/2 btw) Just a very minor nick was left on the corner but it's not noticable unless pointed out.
I have since purchaced this case from amazon LINK. And a couple days after I recieved it, the G2 accidentally went for a ride on the trunk of a friends car. It was face down so the rubberized texture surrounding the screen held it there for a few miles before it slid off. I used the android devce manager online to track it down and when I found it a couple houses down from another friends house, the phone was in the same condition. Granted, this is more of a testiment to how strong the case is, the phone probably slid off at around 45mph.
Lol the car ride..

For me, it was either the g2, note 3 or z1. The screen to bezel ratio and carrier availability is what won me over in comparison to the z1. And too many people had the note 3 in my area. One of my pet peeves is having the same device as everyone else. Especially when they know nothing about the tech world. Lol. So far in my area i havent run across another with the g2.
I couldnt be any more happy with the hardware performance and the UI so far. This is the first device ive ever owned in which I dont see a need for a custom rom or tweeks so far for what i use it for.
I went with the s4 for a couple months I'll have another upgrade in my account and will get something else and give s4 to my mom....
I passed the g2 cuz its battery is locked in, no SD expansion, and the terrible button design on the back which I don't like....
Okay so i was just looking at my z5p and i think its slightly bent... And i googled it, and saw that many other people had bended z5s and z5ps.. So has anyone made/ seen a youtube bend test on the z5p???? Im getting worried here.

You do know that Sony have renforced corners for drop so do you think the frame will bent.. And the glass can't be bent without heated to a certain temperature... And if you want someone to run a bend test please offer your device and for sure someone will do a bend test for you.. This is not iPhone forum people have better things to do here...

Junior member does not (always) mean an illiterate blab with no practical knowledge, mate Play nice
That being said, my Z5P did bend. It's quite usual with large metal phones and enough pressure applied. It was only bent on the Power Button side, so I assume it twisted in my pocket somehow. ( see attachments )
Applied moderate heat to the side (no idea if it helped but it didnt hurt ) and slowly bent it back. There is a very minor deformation of the steel where the bent was, but its all good.
Sony responded quite well to the issue. Advised me to switch off the phone and not charge it due to increased chance of overheating and fire, and told me to bring it to a service so they can inspect the culprit.
I decided not to, since I don't wanna go without this beauty for a second If it keeps happening, I'll take it back tho.
Keep in mind it took an immense amount of force to bend it back, so I am not worried. Its a very rigid phone. Just not immune to force

With enough force you can bend anything... It's a common sense.. I maybe look new to xda forum as I am using taptalk and it takes my Gmail login as I just moved to android few months back...

Applied moderate heat to the side (no idea if it helped but it didnt hurt ) and slowly bent it back. There is a very minor deformation of the steel where the bent was, but its all good.
Sony responded quite well to the issue. Advised me to switch off the phone and not charge it due to increased chance of overheating and fire, and told me to bring it to a service so they can inspect the culprit.
I decided not to, since I don't wanna go without this beauty for a second If it keeps happening, I'll take it back tho.
Keep in mind it took an immense amount of force to bend it back, so I am not worried. Its a very rigid phone. Just not immune to force

Just curious, how did you manage to bend the phone? I'm afraid I will bend mine as it is a bit tight in my jeans pocket and if I bend down, I'm afraid I'd break it.

Yeah mines bent too even when i have kept it with silk gloves and yeah in the jeans front pocket.. It bends abit no matter what
Maybe it wouldn't bend if using a devilcase aluminium bumper. I use one on my Z5 and just ordered a Z5P (for the 4K) and if I like it more than my Z5 I will order a devilcase for it too.
They are very sturdy and the precise fitting is essential for me.

Ouch!
Dear XDA,
I heard that the s7 and the s7e sometimes have gray bars on the display after months of use. Are these troll posts or is this a well documented issue?
They're definitely not troll posts. No widespread issue either. There are only a dozen isolated cases I came across on various internet platforms.
grey horizontal lines!
they are over 100 units of s7 edge with that problem!
I had it... took it back and they swapped it no problem. Not widespread, but it's a known issue.
Major disaster on s7 edge Exynos SM-G935F after 3 months. Vertical colour lines running the right side of screen. Phone heats up to 41c. Battery drains to 80% in half an hour then screen starts flashing.
No warranty in u.s.a. A real goatf**k. Will never buy another Sammy product again. Have many cheap phones that never die.
Took the phone completely apart and back together without resolve. Anyone interested in seeing pics of the operation? Lol
Yes! Please!

Strongly recommend not doing this. Make no mistake you will shatter the back glass. Even with heat and careful removal. Only when you have nothing to loose in this case. Lol
I took my s7 edge apart and put it back together. It work just fine. The one thing u must have patients.

True! In this case it's best to destroy it.
Removed and reconnected the little display cable
to no avail. Still not sure if it's a bad display or what. Even Sammy doesn't know what is causing the note 7 disaster.
Still using it however as a hand warmer. Just in time for winter.
well with those lines in it u would have to buy screen for it and they are not cheap.

I figured that it would be the screen but checked the display cable just in case. Well back to the reliable moto g that took the blurry pictures. SAD day. Lol still better than iPhone. Haha.
BTW, when the screen is off the phone runs cool even when running apps. Must be a short in the screen heating it up.
Found a complete solution here.
Works like a charm.
