Hello,
I just noticed something peculiar. I was taking a picture of my phone to send to some friends, and I see this white light on the top right of the phone. However, the light can only be seen through a camera lense.
Has anyone else noticed this and can describe the purpose of this light?

There's proximity sensor in that corner which normally shows a blinking white/reddish light in certain circumstances, like when viewed through another camera. Interesting that you discovered it as white
Actually @dp was looking at the light through another camera. IR LEDs render as white light on camera sensors. An easy way to check if your TV remote works is to look at it through your camera phone; you'll see a white flash from the IR LED.
I just tried to see this light myself, but I can't find it. Curious.
