Come on! No! Do not cover the camera lens, take the phone in you hands and all will disappear. They are pixels processed by the camera with no light.

Ok. I got tiny ble and red pixels too when the camera is in low light. But not like on your phone. Try to set up the setting on you phone to the best quality you can. Take a picture in Low and High light. If on the pictures there are not visible pixels that means is the preview the problem of you camera. If is the preview you can live with that, it's your choice. If not go for a replacement and explain the problem, but I don't know if the warranty cover that.

The picture is too dark, can be even a reflection like the small red point in the middle but if you are refer about the tiny white pixel, in this case is a faulty pixel. But I think is just a coincidance.
Any picture which you take have in the same position the white pixel? Maybe you go just crazy!

Yes it is a bit. The lens are clean? The leans are dirty in some way?
Also you have to take in consideration the poor quality of the picture because the low light make the picture more distorted. Is very hard for the camera to processing that king of pictures. You will never take this picture as a good picture so I will delete it. You try the perfection and is ok, I did this too. Try to take a nice clean normal light pictures, if they are good and no preview problem (solved) and no strange distortion you are fine. If there is any problem with the lcd pixels or with the lens you should have the problem all the time in the same place. So I think is not your case. Everything is ok..

No that is the phone trying to display something in the dark, the red bleed is any little bit of light coming into the lens. The scene is just too dark for the phone to render on the screen.

Seriously dude, with almost no light for the camera to render something on the display you are lucky you can even see anything. Liveview will only show you what it can based on real time processing, so in low light will most likely look much darker, in that light the shutter is probably going to to about 1 second, therefore the phone can't liveliew that because it will piss you off every time you move the camera waiting 1 second for the picture to refresh

Yep because it is too dark to show the colours correctly, it is hard for the camera to display, the red pixels is light sneaking past into the lens. Other cameras display the image as a higher iso preview so allow more light in, but change when taking the shot, not sure why Sony don't increase the this. BTW all my point and shoots and even my DSLRs in liveview have this problem in low light, unless I change the ISO high.
Maybe root your phone and download monxdified ROM, it has some camera tweaks. Try not to use superior auto, and use manual mode for best results, that way you can control many different settings.

I bought a Samsung Galaxy Note (N7000) phone about one week ago. I noticed a problem with the screen. The problem is like this:
When I am in a very dark room (and make sure my eyes have adapted to the darkness), and display a completely black image with the phone, the screen is not completely black. This is NOT the problem I want to say. The problem which bothers me is that, inside this gray screen I can notice some really black spots, just like the screen has been spattered by some black ink (but is has not).
Why is this a problem? Because even if the screen cannot be perfectly black when displaying a completely black image, it should still be uniform; but this is not the case!
This problem is similar to the one described in this web page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1150171
Maybe I should add that this problem never affect its performance in normal conditions. It only shows up when the environment is completely dark and when it display something really black.
So I would like to know whether this problem is caused by a defect of the phone.
A photo is attached. It was taken with a long exposure time. The photo is taken with a small Canon camera, with ISO = 200, and an exposure time of 15 seconds.
This thread has some discussion regarding the issue. I have these marks on my SGS2 screen as well; bit of a nuisance really.

All OLEDs can have this issue. I would imagine more have it than not. My old Zune HD did this. My note has it, my Infuse has it. If you are into watching black screens with nothing on them in pitch black rooms, then stay away from OLED screens. Since you really can't see this with normal use, I would say it is no big deal.
Your video issue is something else all together. That is just a boneheaded gamma setting by Samsung. Shades below 4 (with my gamma test image) aren't smoothly ramped down, they are just eliminated entirely! This gives a noticeable step from shadow details to black, which shows compression tiling that you normally wouldn't see..
I believe physical damage causes this problem..because last week when my girlfriend tossed Me my deo can it accidentally hit the screen and since then there's a huge black spot in that area thankfully though it's only visible on a pitch black image ....like the bootscreen
so no issues
This belong in Q&A
My very first Note had blotches visible even in daylight on a gray background. I had it replaced the next day under Samsung early life failure policy (first 30 days). Second phone had blotches visible only on a black background in a dark room. So did 3rd, 4th and 5th! However, the 5th Note had blotches around the edges unlike the other 4 Notes so I decided to keep it. The fact is: ALL Notes 1 have blotches. If you can't see blotches consider yourself blessed. Blotches are the only thing I hate about Note 1.

even though a lot of screens have this, Id send it back if I was you. I think its unacceptable for aproduct this expensive. It shoukd be flawless. So quickly call upon warrantee.
Next time, dont leave the store without doing an instore test, that way you can return it immediately with no questions asked

It's a bit hard to do a "dark room" test in store. After the 5th I gave up my search for a perfect screen. Until Samsung changes their AMOLED manufacturing process and improve QC there won't be "perfect" screens.

This happened when using high ISO setting in camera usually ISO 800 under indoor condition. The image produce is flickering as the attachment. This happened since on GB to ICS and still going on. Double check with several unit note, SG2 and the worse SG3 still the same. The SG3 is even flicker in video, worst than this.
I really curious is this have been discuss or not yet.....:good:

do not set the ISO setting to a higher value. the higher the ISO value the more noise it will have.

No this definitely does not seem to happen with my devices.. ISO is just for low light shooting.. High ISO should not introduce flicker! Just curious are you shooting under some kind of fluorescent bulb..
Seems to be more of a lighting issue as mentioned above?

I say it's due to the fluorescent light source...
What's the shutter speed?
When you raise ISO, you have indirectly reduce the shutter speed till its 'fast' enough to capture the flicker of the fluorescent.
ISO, Aperture, and Shutter Speed... the 3 key variables that relate to one another.

Either it's hardware problem or your camera.apk. Try re-flashing it.
I also have same problem, but I did not notice with iso settings on auto, so just leave iso on auto and it is ok.
This was also cannot be fixed in latest LSZ. The auto setting works fine but not with custom ISO
Hi all,
I have bought the phone yesterday, stock, unlocked latest software.
Look at those pictures, especially white birds... Ridiculous, even some white tint over seagulls, zero details on white feathers.
No sun, normal Irish day..
Please comment... Stock camera settings.
http://db.tt/BnlPNQqy
http://db.tt/PTM8fnBE
are you on 1.29?
the photo`s are overexposed, the one sets the exposure on what it is focusing on, so i would have though it focused on the dark water and raised the exposure, that`s is why the white birds are overexposed, if you focused on a white bird, the one would reduce the exposure, and give more detail on the birds.
You know you can touch the screen to focus, but there is a setting in the menu to take a photo automatically when you click on an area of the screen.
I wish there was an total area exposure mode instead of the focus spot one.
John.
that ^
I'm not an expert but, I think you just need to focus manually (press on the screen to focus as Tinderbox said) to avoid an overexposed picture...

It's called metering. When you tap on the water to focus (dark), the camera turns the light up so that the water is clearly visible and perfectly exposed. But since you're making dark brighter, the brights will naturally be even brighter. You want the feathers to show detail, you tap on them and it adjusts the light so that they are darker and you can see detail at the expense of even darker water.
Your best bet in these kind of high contrast situations is to use HDR mode. It takes 1 under-exposed image (dark) and 1 slightly over-exposed image (bright) and merges the 2 together. Dark areas will be brighter and bright areas will be darker, giving the image a little fake look, but evenly exposed throughout.
On dSLRs, HDR actually takes THREE images to combine (sometimes even 5). This gives the processor more choices to pick and choose the best parts of each image to merge to a final picture.

Thanks for your replies, guys.
I don't remember now, what I have been focusing on - was it the swans/seagulls or dark water, pavement. I think I tried both, focusing on different areas of the screen and the result was the same.
Same goes for videos, birds are overblown and shine like some white lanterns...
My firmware is 1.29.401.16
yeah do some metering and try different types of shots,

Just some samples to explain my previous post. First pic is me focusing on the wall, which is dark. The wall is now not but my lightsource is completely blown out.
As one pic shows me focusing on the light. Since it's bright, the camera has to darken the whole scene so I can actually see the object I focused on, turning the rest of the scene dark.

Camera fault?
It's just the camera. I tested it against an s4 and an Xperia z. Indoor shots were way better on the one than either of them but both beat out the one hands down when it came to outdoor shots. I have tried everything and can't get a really good outdoor shot. I would like to see the result of someone porting the Xperia z camera app to our device but I don't know if it is possible.

Hey guys,
The problem is, that some extra white/bright objects are too small for the camera to catch focus for and adjust the settings.
I played with settings a bit over the weekend and the camera focuses OK on brighter objects, as long as they are big enough...
A bit of a shame, nor my Lumia 920, nor even galaxy S2 has problems like this... I guess, I can live with it, though
So i have been noticing this since quite a lot of days. The p20 pro has black crush issue in videos. The screen tester apps dont show it because the problem is only while playimg videos. The black shadows are never really black. To test this you need to watch a video with complete blacks in 0% brightness in dark room. You will see that there are white dots in the black screen. Its so much irritating, hope huawei fixes it soon as it is most likely a software bug like on s9
As an example if you see at the very start of the video where the helmet falls, the screen should be completely black whereas on a close look you can actually see white dots all over screen
I can see it in your video, but it doesn't happen on my screen in the same situation.

So you mean the blacks are perfectly black for you on zero brighntess in a dark room while playing this video?
I can see the white dots on my p20 as well as on my pc... I think thats what the video should look like... Its like dirt falling at the same time as the helmet.

Try it with this video. I don't get any white dots in the black using your conditions.

The background in this video is not completely black for me in the conditions i mentioned. It feels like the pixels do light up
Btw it must be some software bug because the borders which were not covered by video including the sides of notch are completely black

@mathab you cant compare with a pc. You need some other amoled display device because the pc will light up the pixels as well. Anyway also try the other video posted in next comment.
Edit: you can try this too
I thought where talking about the little white dots on the first video
In the last video you posted I can see backlight in every scene :/ just as you.
Dont have any amoled screen at hand to test (cause maybe the video does not have true blacks ¿?)

try this one, its very clear after 2-3 seconds that your eyes adjust to darkness that theres something weird going on, white spots are all over the screen.
FYI Ive got an L04 from Mexico rebranded to L29

Yes this is what i have been trying to say. And the weird thing is it only happens in video and not on sides of notch where the video doesnt play. So the issue is not with the screen but the huawei firmware. Hope they roll out a fix soon.
I personally believe there are many users with this problem but they havent noticed it.
I do see them to when the brightness is low! I notice that when you scroll on any page that got black content, a sort of purple shadow follow the black content. Anyone experience this?
iPhone seems to actually capture my eye color, pixel just gets shadows over my eyes. Does the selfie camera on this just suck? I've tested in low light and outside bright light.
Maybe go back to iphone?

Actually it's quite valid response. You have two phones, one you like and the other is worse at this key aspect. If it is a deal breaker...
And did not quite understand your problem. iPhone gets the color right amd Pixel give you the color of...shadow?

What's wrong with it? You obviously like the iphone better.

I think I know what he meant, basically when taking a selfie in some lighting situations, your eyes (iris) will become almost completely black. I think it looks awful and unnatural. Not sure about previous Pixels, but I've encountered this on both P6P and now P7P.

Had to try it myself, can't see the problem. Took one in the bathroom with direct bright light, colors were spot on. Then I took another in very very dimly lit room with night sight, the eyes were...dark. Then I took a mirror and looked myself in that dim light and my eyes were...dark again
But yes, Pixel is known for pumped contrast in pictures and it shows a lot in selfies in low light. My eyes looked actually that dark in that light but my beard was about 25% darker than in real life. So that might be the issue here.
Not a lot to do to fix this, I'm afraid. Take your selfies in good light
Edit. To the original problem, Iphone vs Pixel, Iphone lifts the dark areas more and Pixel lefts them darker. That might include your eye sockets on a sunny day (shadows) and low light.
