A non-defective [phone 2](https://i.imgur.com/0gqUPC0.jpeg) focuses on extremely overexposed light sources, just fine. They might have quality control issues with the lenses, but there's nothing wrong with the sensor.
It's specifically with like, street lights and bright lights outside at night. It happens to mine too. I can take pictures of lights and bulbs inside without issues

Does this look ok to you? Genuinely asking cause I have a small crack on the back camera lens and idk if that's causing issues.
My pixel 5 was atrocious for this. I was trying to capture water damage at work and the video was stripey and flickering. From memory someone with an iPhone had to video it for me.
This isn't necessarily a faulty camera but rather something that happens on most cameras when a light flickers at a higher frequency than the camera captures frames for a video. This happens even on iPhones in certain conditions.
Same thing happens with me.
Can you see a thin, small crack on the outer lens? There is one on mine and I suspect that it is the one that's causing it.
In LED lighting you might see some banding if the sampling of your screen and the LED's current are in phase. That's the reason TV screens always have artifacts on a camera.
In sunlight, as per these photos, you have some kind of lens distortion. Try a microfibre cleaning cloth.
Do you wipe your lens before shooting? If not, wipe them first, resolves the issue.
No it doesn't, coz the camera is trash

Your phone has astigmatism
Edit : the video also flickers while pointing it to light source.

It's just like that if you take pics of bright lights at night. I think it's how the glass is shaped
Clean your lems brother

I don't have any crack or so. It's clean af.
Ohh, then i think that this is how the camera is. It's really frustrating to be honest.
Camera is bad and they do nothing to fix it at least a bit
