Recessed front camera?

---

Hey guys, I had a question about the front camera on the One X.

I have mine, and it seems that the camera & glass is recessed inside of the casing about 2mm. I was wondering if it's supposed to be this way or not? Its quite a deep recess, its impossible for me to clean dust off the lens without using something like a toothpick because it is so deep and small. So I'm just wondering if this is normal or not. Thanks

Normal. Mine is the same way.

Confirmed, same here.

Okay thanks, just had to make sure. Seems kind of strange since it makes it very difficult to clean

Lol I didn't wanna sound like a tweaker
But I tried cleaning it and it sucks

It's a bad design element for sure. I use what looks like a little makeup application brush to dust it out.

Yup. Only part of my phone that doesn't look brand new...

I think the point of it being recessed is so you DON'T have to clean it. Usually you get finger prints all over the lens and grease because most cameras are flush with the front....with this deisgn, the lens avoids that

You could always spray some computer cleaner/compressed air in there
