Unbelievably numerous dead pixels on front camera sensor

[osikiri]

I found 24 dead pixels on my Xperia XZP front camera photo.

(White and red, some are very dim but the others are bright enough.)

I've used many smartphones from different manufacturers and this is unbelievable.

Sony, do you even check the camera sensors before you put it in and seal the product?

What kind of quality control is this? For the 'Premium' product?

I just checked mine and I don't have any.

I agree that quality control "should" be better from all OEM's but sometimes a defective piece of hardware will sneak by. Use your warranty. Look on any forum for any phone and you will find complaints about some piece of hardware being bad from day one. I think all manufactured items have issues. It's just that there are not as many forums for everything else as there is for cell phones.

Then why didn't just simply replace it instead of whining here?
It doesn't matter how expensive something is, there WILL be lemons and nothing can be 100% perfection.
Tons of high-end monitors costing 7-900 euros can come with dead-pixels. It's just the nature of how displays are made.
Also, if you really believe they are able to check literally every phone you're delusional.

No problems on mine.

I'm going through the replacement process which is very exhausting, I don't know why you think I'm just whining here keeping this cursed product unit.
I know manufacturing can't be perfect and if it was 1 or 2 dead pixels, I would quietly do what I need to do as you like it.
But when it is 10~20 dead pixels on a single product I think it is insane. And it is not only me in my area.
Then I think it is something enough to talk about.

You just wanted to shout and be angry because you got a lemon.

Just deal with it like literally everyone else.

i am now on my 3rd exchanged Xperia XZ Premium and can confirm while my screen and rear camera are perfect I still have dead pixels in the front camera sensor. If this is indeed the same front camera sensor as on my X Performance.. On that same X Performance I dont have any dead pixels that i can notice. (Red and white pixels scattered around on a dark picture) however i cant make them out in a real world photo.

I hate you thanks for making me test mine and realize, multiple on the front also, back may have 1 but might of been dust.



front --> all over

DO these dead pixels affect the pictures being taken? If not then why are we taking pictures of black paper? Stupid.

yes they can effect pictures taken. when under the right ISO level they can be really visable. most of the time though, no you wont notice them. since I just have them on the front camera which I never use I'm not too worried about it but for $800+ you expect fewer then this. if I had them on the back sensor like the front, I definitely would return, but from what I just read returning them for the front seems useless as they all seem to have it bad.

I put in a order for a chrome version, if that has less I'm returning the black one.


EDIT: Returned my deepsea black for Chrome and same results, bunch on the front none on the back. the chrome seems to have less which is a good thing I guess.

How do you test for dead pixels on camera sensors?
