Never clean cameras with alcohol, that’s why you have damaged it more in the first place. Alcohol causes it to make that blurr effect. Just use a cotton swab without any liquids and compressed air for the dust and that’s all, but good job anyways 😊

I'm thinking that the camera sensor and lens assembly is not unique to this phone. You could probably find out what model sensor assembly it is using and find a replacement for another phone. Take the lens off of that sensor, and your good to go.

Hugh, thanks for all the good work that you do. But, please note, as some of the other commenters have mentioned, it is fruitless polishing a lens. This changes its optical characteristics, affects its focus and adds other aberrations. Cleaning a lens is fine but, if it is scratched or otherwise damaged, you should replace it.

Hey Hugh, just want to say thank you for your repair videos! I am planning now on purchasing similar equipment you use to repair some phones.

Thank you for your repair ideas. I like to repair what I can add my grandparents did. It's great to see. Great teaching

At 3:22 the reason why it got worse after polishing the lens, is not because more scratches, but polishing actually removes a small layer from the top, thereby distorting the focal length of the camera. The only way to fix it, is by replacing it. And for the love of all, please stop using that disgusting glue for the screen and back, instead use generic double sided tape of various sizes or better yet factory cut one if available. It's cheap, and yes it take a bit more time, but makes subsequent repairs much easier and professional. ;)

Not bad at all, even in that condition, I'd still happily buy such a device. I'd also keep an eye out to see if any stockists decided to stock the ultrawide camera again at some point. Would it be possible to use a camera off another device, which has the same connector?

@achannelhasnoname5182

That could work, as many manufacturers just use the same parts. It might also be worth a shot to try and find another identical phone that's broken, and use the frame and camera from that model.

That lens polishing and misaligned lens after taking it on and off caused that image to get even worse. The lens is screwed in to specific height away from the sensor for it to function correctly.

Waiting eagerly to celebrate and congratulate you on your 1M subscribers🎉

Spinning that lens will change the focus and I think what happened is it was not screwed right when you tried after using the polishing paste, because such lens scratches shouldn't appear that sharply on the screen, so it looks like like the sensor was focused on the lens and not "using" the lense, you had to have the phone on and spin the lens until the image looks better, but i guess you'd still have had the blurry halos on the sides. Also I'd have tried polishing with a cotton bud on a drill, with different pastes, the one you used seemed too harsh

@SlartiMarvinbartfast

Yup, I would have also suggested using a cotton bud in a drill (or Dremel) and much finer paste.

Thank you so much Hugh

After a few phone repairs, I learned my lesson not to rub the camera lens and stopped bothering with them ever again. Those lens i thought it was glass is actually made of plastic and scratch easily, even with a soft microfiber cloth. Now I just immediately slap a piece of sticky paper on the lens, the same kind you get with screen protectors. That way, I don't have to worry about damaging the lens while I'm working on the repair.

This was the first phone I ever repaired myself (after being encouraged by watching your videos) it was successful and the replacement charging port has been working fine ever since. Hugh you are a great, inspirational person!

Great video your repair of the Sony phone btw Would love to see more if you get the chance

Great work.

I think you should talk with company that made that phone, they know where to find parts for it.

The focus is not closeup because of the fixed focal length. All of the smartphone cameras have fixed focal lengths. The fixed focal distance is the issue.

A bit unfortunate that it turned out to be a slightly subpar repair result, specially compared to your usual excellent works (I see why this video took longer than I had thought it would :)) I think for the camera, if the exact sensor model and specifications were to be known listed, then you should be able to attempt to find another camera from another device which also uses the same sensor as an ultrawide, even if despite the lens from that camera were to have different specs in aperture and focal length; If the camera had the same connector which it generally should, you could just transplant the whole module over onto this phone and it should be compatible at least enough to function just fine, since ultrawides as comparatively quite a lot simpler compared to other camera modules such as main wide or telephoto, since those tend to have more functions such as optical image stabilization, or advanced fast autofocus, etc. which the ultrawides does not tend to have, generally, due to the wide field of view; which this seems to be the case as well judging by lens assembly So there a good better change that it would work with the camera drivers and library or modules cade that this phone would have with its firmware

I like to cover the whole back panel in sellotape first before removing, it makes it much easier and keeps it all in one piece, and minimises the amount of glass shards breaking off. Can't believe someone would just yeet their expensive phone, what's wrong with people!

Quick tip - protective film over cracked glass helps with removal wery well.

You could have completely disassembled the phone and then fixed the bent housing.

I tried that phone out and at the time of the purchase my only complaint was that you couldn't turn off the dammm fan (not sure if it has changed since then since this was when it came out but yeah, dealbreaker for me since it was annoying when you put your ear next to it to take a call but otherwise a great device)

just an advice, use some packaging sellotape next time on cracked back glass to avoid any glass jumping around.

Hi High you didn’t happen to buy those black Qian Ali Clamps and back glass off Fixo Au from Brisbane did you?

I'd call the curve an "ergonomic feature" and the lack of an ultra wide a "decluttering of unnecessary features"

One thing I'll always find strange is the assumptions that devices were destroyed in a fit of rage when in reality you really can't know unless specified (and even then people lie). Anywho, appreciate seeing good-enough repairs too, sometimes things are just too expensive or risky (or impossible to find like the unavailable camera), but if you can live with a bend in the frame then that's another phone saved from a landfill.

Excellent restoration, seen the circumstances. One thing I noted with some native Chinese phones with high specced hardware - is that they don't deliver all the speed and smoothness allowed by an high-end SoC and fast storage, very likely because the software is not optimised as the software of a Google, Samsung or Sony phone. I don't have or use Apple devices to compare with. Thank you Mr. Jeffreys.
