- A Reddit user reported that the camera bar on their Pixel 9 Pro was separating from the back glass despite no apparent damage.
- Since the phone was under warranty, a Google Store replaced the unit.
- This appears to be a one-off defective unit, but you should still check your unit for any noticeable gaps between the camera bar and the back panel.
The Google Pixel 9 series is an excellent flagship lineup from the company. It does most things well enough to be recommended as a top Android flagship. The phones feature an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance and are also fairly durable. But a Redditor had a strange experience with their Pixel 9 Pro’s camera bar, raising questions about its durability.
Redditor lakhip noticed the camera lens of their Pixel 9 Pro fogging up when the phone was on the sink in their shower (h/t Android Police). When the user took the case off the phone, they noticed that one side of the phone’s camera bar was not attached to the phone at all. They claim that that side of the camera bar lifted up with a gentle pull.
