The Xiaomi 14 and 14 Ultra have a worrying camera problem, but Xiaomi doesn't think so

Xiaomi's latest phones have issues with condensation getting into the camera housing, but Xiaomi says it isn't a 'product quality issue.'

The Xiaomi 14 and 14 Ultra are now on sale globally, and it looks like both devices have issues with condensation getting inside the camera housing, fogging up the lenses and making it difficult to take photos or videos. There are severalthreadson Reddit detailing the issue, and the Xiaomi 14 Ultra's Amazon UK listing is littered with customers having the same problem.
