Remove the cover from the mobile, or clean the sensors

Something that is causing problems in the Google PixelAs with other smartphones, it is the case that we use to protect the smartphone from bumps and damage in the event of a fall. Of course, lCarrying a cover is essential on your mobile, but this can also cause problems. At first, the case only had to make room for the camera, speakers, buttons, and charging and jack connectors. But not now. Now you also have to make room for the fingerprint reader, and the sensors included with the cameras. It is because of the latter that many mobiles are having problems. The sensors next to the cameras are small in size, and the cutout made on the covers is small. Whether accumulates dirt in these areas, at the edges of the cutouts, it may even happen that the sensor may not work well.

For example, the laser sensor used for focusing is responsible for sending a laser light to measure the distance to the subject. If there is dirt right in front of him, he will measure a very short, almost non-existent distance, and the focus will be wrong, of course.

Solution? Remove the sleeve, or clean the sensor area frequently. In covers with very small cut-out areas, the problems are even more pronounced. Thus, a cover that in principle could be more expensive because it has more careful details, could give even more problems. Either way, once the problem is located, it will be as simple as solving it. Even the Google Pixel is having trouble with this. Everything is due to the laser focus, very useful in mobile phones, but that adds more and more elements to the mobile that, although they can be perfectly integrated into the smartphone, it is not easy for manufacturers of cases to save them.
