Black circle around front camera problem

[Dannyboy525]

Hey, got the Pixel 5 this morning and love it. However I have noticed that sometimes the front camera is not in the centre of the black circle, and the top left section of the circle isn't smooth and looks rather jagged edged. I have looked through the developer options but can't see anything to reset or turn off the black circle around the camera.

Does anyone have the same problem? Or any advice on what to do?

Thanks

Danny

My phone did that when I switched it on for the first time, the edges of the camera cut out and the 4 rounded rounded corners were jagged rather than smooth but after the setup it's been perfect since.

Ok thanks. I have just reset my phone again and it seems to be better now. Hopefully it will stay like that :good: cheers

I'm not sure what you mean that the front camera is not in the center of the black circle. The black circle IS the camera.

That is normal. You can see that everytime when the phone boots up. The software smoothes the edges and the punch hole cutout, once its booted up.

I have the same problem with the not centered camera, it's like it's missing the designated cutout for it in the screen and leaks out on the top left. Like the screen leaves black in the wrong place. Read the same things on reddit. Guess I gotta contact Google.
Resetting helped you?
