In a tweet posted by Heydon Faber (@CSThrowaway), it could be seen that the smartphone’s glass surrounding one of the dual cameras had shattered, more notably the one that was closest to the edge of the phone. In the tweet, the user claimed that his Google Pixel 7 was having problems despite being less than a month old. The user also mentioned that the smartphone had “no drops, just regular use,” and always had a case.

Meanwhile, another user on the online forum Reddit claimed that when he pulled his Google Pixel 7 smartphone out of his pocket, he saw that the rear camera glass of the smartphone was broken. Google is yet to provide an official statement on these reports.

The Google Pixel 7 series was one of the most-anticipated releases of the year. But this is not the first time that users have complained about the phone. In the past, a Twitter user named Varul Mayank (@varulmayank) found dust inside the front camera of the Google Pixel 7 Pro.
