- Some Pixel 10 Pro owners on Reddit say their flashlight has caused burn-like damage to the lens.
- Other reports describe the flashlight getting unusually hot, though it’s not clear if this is a hardware issue at this stage.
- While some examples appear genuine, other users may be mistaking the normal LED appearance for a burn.
Your phone’s flashlight is one of those features you probably don’t give much thought to. It’s just there when you need it, perhaps if the power goes out or you’re heading out on a camping trip. But some Pixel 10 Pro owners are now raising concerns about what can happen when it’s left on for a prolonged period, with a handful of users claiming it’s caused visible damage to the lens.
The complaints come from a range of Reddit threads over the last few months, with the most recent appearing yesterday. One Reddit user shared the close-up image below showing a dark, burn-like hole at the center of the Pixel 10 Pro flashlight module, with the surrounding diffuser intact. Others in separate threads describe similar concerns, including the light getting unusually hot or leaving marks after being left on for extended periods.
