  • Another person has revealed a Google Pixel 9 Pro camera bar fault on Reddit.
  • As with the first incident, the camera bar housing appears to be slowly moving away from the phone’s body.
  • We have reached out to Google for a second time in an attempt to get a statement on the matter.

Back in October, we told you about the discovery of a Google Pixel 9 Pro with a faulty camera bar housing. As first seen on Reddit, a user complained that their camera bar was moving away from the phone’s body. This was peculiar, especially when you consider the user’s claims that they had kept the phone in a case 24/7 and had never dropped or otherwise damaged it.

At the time, we had reached out to Google for a comment on the matter but received no reply. Now, we have a second incident of this bizarre phenomenon. As with the first, the Reddit user claims to have kept the phone protected at all times, yet is seeing the camera bar housing separating from the phone.
