well at first I thought it might it have been a reflection, but the sun is behind the house... so check ur lens cover and if its not that, return the device for swap

it good be just flare, but you wanna check for spots, dust, moisture, cracks anything imperfect... to test for flare shoot some more copies in similar scenarios but hold you hands flat above the lens when taking the shot

Yes, is normal. I tried once in my Note10+, it does had a dot when taking a photo to direct sunlight. I rarely do this, I am afraid that the condense light dot will hurt my camera sensor 🙁

I think that is the sunlight reflection.

yeah I think so too.. I just tried another one, the sun moved a little to the right and I covered with my hand and I get a green dot and sometimes a rainbow effect..its all reflection I think..
