I have noticed in low-light photos, in both Superior Auto and Manual mode that there is a blue tint on the edges of low light photos, especially more on the left side. The only way I've noticed I can really mitigate it is if I lower the ISO on manual mode, but then the photos would end up being too dark.

I have seen this issue discussed on other forums; some say it is a hardware issue, some software, and others say a camera module replacement may fix it. But I don't think Sony has officially ever acknowledged this issue, even though it is definitely present.

Here are some example photos

Notice the heavy blue tinting on the edges..

Does your phone has a protective case or film?

No case, naked phone.

Does the camera has any scratches?

No scratches whatsoever on the camera

Suspect flash bleed through the glass back. I have the same on my Z1C from day one. Makes the camera useless for flash shots. Sony never acknowledge the problem even when discussed across the technical media. Despite making cameras for other manufacturers, never seem to implement them very well in their own devices.
