I saw there are camera lens protectors available.
Are they useful.? And do they not affect the image quality?
I do not have experience with them.
Guess no one does...
Haven't seen those yet. I'm wondering if they're using a sapphire lens like they have been? Anyone know what its made of on the u11. If it is, you're fine without.
IMO camera lens protector are not necessary if you are using any kind of case to protect the phone, usually the cases are thick enough to prevent the camera lenses from getting scratched

So I've been super careful with my SGS2 (it's not even my primary phone),but my camera lens now has tiny hairlike scratches. So far they don't influence the picture quality.
Is there anybody else with a scratched camera lens?
I am here. A lot of scratches. As you said, they don't influence the photo, so who cares?
I only had my HTC One a few days when I noticed 2 small scratches on the camera lens. I had a TPU case on it but the HTC One camera lens is pretty much flush with the back. So the case did not provide much protection to the lens when I placed the phone front side up. Kind of disappointed to discover the scratches. For such a premium phone I would expect HTC to use a glass lens or something. Now I'm forced to use an Otterbox case to provide better protection and/or remember to place the phone face down everytime on my desk.

it could be alot worse. many of us are having our camera lenses crack on us outta nowhere without physical damage. id rather have the scratches personally cuz htc refuses to help..
Usually when buying s new phone the first things I do is lapping s screen protector and, if possibe cut a protective piece for the camera
I was gonna topic such a question about camera lenses before u asked this.
It's very easy to nik scratch the glass lens.
I havent figured a way yet ....but the cutting a circle from a screen protector and leaving the eye open is a good idea.
INFACT....the s4 comes with one over the lens only the eye is exposed.
Best scenario for now is to be careful and use micro fiber to clean it off every now and again.

You're not alone here man.. I mean I had my phone for a month using an incipio dual pro (which is really good and really protective) and my camera lens is COMPLETELY scratched. And I clean it every week so to avoid it scratching. But everyday I notice one more scratch. I sent an email to htc to see what they say but man, it's freaking annoying.. We bought a premium smartphone with cheap Chinese lenses.. Don't understand what they did.. My S3 was treated way more badly and it's in perfect conditions.
Mine has a lot of scratches. Luckly they are not in the middle lens area.
I have this smudge on my camera lens. So when I take pictures, if I turn my phone just the right way, there's this glare on the camera. This smudge won't come off, either. I don't know what to do. It doesn't bother all too much, but if the right amount of light and particular angles can make it a nuisance.
I've uploaded pictures to show you all how it looks. One image you can clearly see the smudge. On another it looks like nothing is there. Then I tried to take one where it's slightly there. I think it's the middle one. LoL!!
I need a really rugged case for my nexus 6... i work around abrasives a lot and I do NOT want my camera lens or screen to get scratched, which is why I will be finding a good tempered glass screen. Does anyone know of a case that has built in camera lens cover protection? I wish there was something like lunatik for this thing... thanks guys
think this would work to protect my camera lens? Not sure the difference between the nexus 5 and 6 as far as the camera lens are concerned...
https://slickwraps.com/nexus-5-lens-protector.html
You can try it but I think the N5 is flat and the N6 is slightly concave.
Is anyone planning on putting extra glass over the cameras? This shouldn't effect the photo quality or AF, right? Any recommended brands out there? Or are you just relying on the raised bezel for whatever case your're using to protect the camera array?
I'll only protect mine with a ringke case, although I'm worried about possible scratches in the future.
The usual go to case for my phones, Spigen Tough Armor, this time comes with only a thin lip over the camera lens and screen. There is like a 0.1mm clearance once I installed dbrand camera skin. I am disappointed in the casing. The past 2 series (Samsung Note 10+ and iPhone 11 Pro Max) had thick camera lens clearance (almost like 0.5cm).
im worried that it may screw up the TOF sensor or somehow mess with the quality of the pics...
anyone have experience on previous phones?
I protect my camera lens with the gadgetshieldz skin or camera protector, The camera protector protects my camera lens from scratches.
I have a dbrand skin on it that covers everything but the actual surface needed for pictures. Don't think I need more than that. Also after watching all the drop test the camera is the last thing that will break or stop working.
They have "tempered glass" screen protectors on Amazon for preorder. There is a hole cut out for the flash and mic. I know it's not quite the same but I've had a tempered glass screen protector on my gropro without any issues.
The camera glass is so big on the s20 ultra, it feels like it needs a screen protector. For $10 on Amazon it might be worth trying out.

Yup, I too have Dbrand skin on the camera bump to prevent scratches. Works well and looks great!

Only problem I'm concerned with is the auto focus having even more issues with an extra layer of glass.

Yeah I rock my phones ceaseless but have the entire back with dbrand and a dome shield on the screen. I feel really good about the look and feel of my device.
Just applied the tempered glass screen protector for my phone. It looks good without flash. But when I use the flash, the shot looks hazy. This is going to be a no go for the tempered glass screen protector. See the picture I attached.
How do I record calls in samsung s20 Ultra.Can some one please help ?

Be best if someone did a glass lens cover that had cutouts for every camera / sensor - rather than risking performance issues by covering them.
Does anyone know of an option like this? - All the ones I can see only have the cutout the for the flash or flash and TOF .. but not the cameras.
Other option is to use a transparent skin i suppose..
Spigen Neo-Hybrid.
this one is pretty coolhttp://imgur.com/a/h5RWQAp
Otterbox defender pro. 44 at walmart. Best money I spent. Shockingly not too bulky.

I got one with the flash & mic cutout & it works great, not noticing any auto focus issues or flash diffusion. They're pretty thin and scratch resistant I'd say its worth giving it a go.

Got a link?
I got the ESR one
I've got a Mocolo 9H hardness lens protector, works perfectly
I found this and installed it to get a little extra protection for the Camera Glass - the fit is good - installs easy and I have not noticed any issues when using the Flash. It does require that youi carefully place the screen protector on the camera bump (glass) lining up the holes correctly - but they do give you four screen protectors if the first attempt doesn't work. You can find them here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08546Q3LJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Hi
When i bought my Pixel 6 i added ringke's camera lens protector made of tempered glass.
Google Pixel 6 | Camera Protector Glass [3 Pack]
Protect your smartphone's rear camera against scratches and drops with the ultra-thin, full-cover Ringke Camera Protector Glass.
www.ringkestore.com
Anyone is using the Pixel without the lens protector and share some photos with and without the lens protector ?
Yeap, sure can. Refraction and back reflections (ghosting).
The outside rear cover "lense" is the lense protector. These are normally cheap and easy to replace if damaged. Use a case with a raised cam guard and it will likely last the life of the phone.
Hmm i removed the tempered glass that i applied, will check today if it fixed my photo taking experience.
I do know that "glue" is applied and the heat from the phone might cause blurriness due to that.
btw i do see improvement already, focus wise not that much, damn even with laser based focus and PDAF it's not working well..
I got this for the 6 pro and works really well only prob I have seen is lense flare from the sun other than that it's good I did make a post about it

I never use one again, it causing color issues, weird haze, photo which looks un natural and lots of artifacts on scenes with Wide Dynamic range, but the one which you shared is only protects the surrounding area of the lens, and not touching them.
