Hardware Umm, what is this on my Nintendo switch bezel?

Imaginesafety · Jun 9, 2017

I put my switch in my bag without a case cause I do not have one yet. When I took it out I noticed some sort of mark on the bottom of the bezel. It looks like a camera or something and it's annoying me. Keep in mind I was driving for 10 minutes, with nothing except headphones in the bag with the switch. My laptop too but t was in a different section. Please help I'm freaking out, can it be removed?

light sensor for the auto brightness setting

It's on all Switches, but I'm not exactly sure what it does.

That's just the light sensor. It's been there since you got it

That's always there, it's just the first time you've noticed. As for what it is, I presume it's a light sensor.

Yeah, it's a secret camera that takes photos of you and sends them to Nintendo. /s

In seriousness, it's just a light sensor. Cover it up and the screen will dim

Jesus, thank you. Got my Switch two days ago and this was my first time taking it out. I thought I already screwed up.. My eyes will just have to adjust to it I guess, thanks again guys.

wth is that ?
is that the flashlight of your taken picture ? the flashlight of your phone ?
i do not see any marks, maybe take a pic without flashlight on

Edit: that small camera like thing is on every switch like the posts above mine mention -_-'
there's absolutely nothing to worry about, enjoy your switch.

It's a light sensor. I didn't have one, but after an update to the OS it appeared on the front.

While I've noticed that the Switch didn't have a camera on it, it's still nice Nintendo ditched it.

The WiiU GamePad had a camera for gimmicky games and a shitty Skype-like app no one ever used.

It is a webcam, put there by the police of nigeria.
