Camera troubles....

Today, Mike started chopping the wood. Action shot!


I've been noticing that my pictures have got very glarey over the last few days. I mentioned it to Mike, and he suggested that I wipe the lens to see if it just had something on it. Wiping it and breathing on it then polishing seems to have made it worse (spread whatever it was around, maybe?): we took the pooch to the beach this afternoon, and I took comparison photos with my phone and with Mike's. See if you can guess which is which....



After we got back, I tried a cotton bud with some alcohol-based make-up remover on it, and it's still the same. Does anyone have any ideas?

(I'm fairly sure that it's more recent than since Mike replaced the glass on the back, but could there be something in there that just took a while to become a problem? If I rub my nail over the lens, it feels slightly rough in a way that neither the rest of the phone back nor Mike's phone's lens does, which suggests that it's something on the outside.)

Edit: Mike took the back off again so that we could check for a protective film or similar, but we can't find anything. It's fine with the lens cover off, at least. Maybe it's because Mike bought me a dodgy replacement phone back...?
