Samsung Galaxy Note20Ultra is already having a big camera problem

Some Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra users are reporting in community forums that their brand new, large-screen smartphone has some sort of camera housing issue.

Before you have deja vu of the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra's autofocus, these reports (via SamMobile) reveal possible manufacturing issues with the new phablet's camera array. The included photo shows dust and condensation building up under the glass of the housing.

According to SamMobile, there are over 100 related reports on Samsung's Korean community forum. We could only find a few posts under the Note 20 category, such as this one and this one. However, they all seem to indicate the same defect: a narrow gap between the smartphone's outer camera glass and the body.

These reports are, as far as we know, limited to a few users in South Korea. Samsung in the US has been contacted for comment.

For what it's worth, the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra model we reviewed did not experience these problems. In fact, its good-performing camera assets, including a powerful 50x zoom camera and laser autofocus, help this 6.9-inch phablet rank among the best smartphones.
