[Q] Does the camera lens stick out of the phone? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For example, on this picture
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
You can clearly see the camera lens sticking out.
So on the GSIII does the camera lens stick out? If so, does it touch the tablet when you lay it flat? Also, is the back of the GSIII flat?

It's sticking out like 2mm!

very minimally yes

Yeah and it doesn't have the lens glass inset either. The glass sticks right out so when you lay the phone down the lens is gonna get scratched to hell so you really need a case because of that stupid design.

Display scratched from inside

Today i examined my S2 and found a few scratches inside the Display. The scratches are just visible under a small angle and located near the volume buttons.
They stop exactly where the LCD ends.
I found a picture wich is very similar to my S2

I hope this qualifies me for a quick replacement.
Anyone else with these scratches?
Haha, how did you manage to get those scratches?
Ofcourse something re-seller has to fix.
I hope so! These scratches must be there from assembling.
I see them only when the display is off, but i know they are there

Avoid this CASE!!

This case case the back of my phone to dip in. You can see a line where the dip was caused. I believe somehow if put pressure on the back of my phone that now I see a slight chip on the corner of the camera lens. Nothing that will affect the picture but its there. I have not dropped my phone and always had a case on. Let me know if anyone has this issue with similar case.

Scratch or what

Recently I tried cleaning fingerprints from the lens over camera with a microfiber cloth. Here is the results. Doesn't appear to be scratches, but some imperfections in the anti glare coating. I can get the lens and housing for 11$ on eBay in Hong Kong. Probably quicker than doing any warranty crap.Anybody else noticed this?

[Q] Why does the camera scratch so easily?

Does the Camera have a tiny ASF on it or something? It scratches so easily. Is there any way to fix it?

I have wondered the same, my c6802 is nowhere that bad though
I also noticed it. Guess some polish would do the trick...I doubt there is anti scratch protection...

Camera Lens Protective Film

I just received this little protection. the idea is more to protect from scratches than shocks.
The protection is super fine, very transparent, the photos are not altered, it is the positive point.
Second positive point, the protection is delivered in a small plastic box, with all the necessary to clean the lens before putting it down.
In short, I recommend this gadget a little useless ... Especially for the price US $ 1.14
