Hey guys I got desire 820 5 days ago, I am using it without any case, today I noticed the camera lens has 3-4 scratches. A possibility is that these scratches are on the anti reflective coating. I couldn't find any info if desire 820 has such coating on camera lens. Any of you having similar issue? I don't think the scratches are affecting picture quality much, and if I remove the coating (if any), it will just bring in a lot of glare in daylight shots. What's your opinion? Should I go to service center and get that anti reflective coating removed?
Use colgate

Take a soft cloth,apply a minute amount of colgate paste on the cloth and rub the camera glass with moderate pressure.Be careful not to break the glass . I have tested this on my Xperia M and it worked.

Evidently our camera lenses aren't made from Gorilla glass also. Today I encountered 2 small scratches across the lens of the rear facing camera while cleaning it with the soft side of my T-shirt. I usually use a micro fiber cloth but have used my T-shirt on all my other phones all the time. This is very disappointing to me, has anybody else experienced this yet?
I have the same problem. There's a couple light scratches on the camera lens. I don't think the lens has gorilla glass unlike the front and back.

but no difference in camera result
mine has got scratches too.but when i compared camera result of mine optimus g to a brand new one there was no difference...
My phone has been in a case since day one, and I found a light small scratch on it.
I think most LGOG come with a small scratch we can't see with the naked eye, I've never touched the lens once.
Could be dust or scratch inside the lens.

1. They scratch because they made of plastic and not glass
2. Dunno
3. You can buy a set of lens protector from slickwraps or you can buy the nillkin glass H+ screen protector and they give a set of lens protector(that is what I have)
4. Some people have loose volume rocker(like me ). Some others have adhesive on the speaker grills. Others have a couple dead pixels. Personally I have only the loose volume rocker, not a big deal....

FYI not everyone has scratches to the actual lens of the camera so it's not necessarily because of the material of the lens. From my personal experience with this phone it was the coating that was on the lens that was actually scratching. It was bothering me for the longest time because I thought I had scratches all over it. I used Qtips and toothpaste to polish off the coating and now the camera looks flawless.
Can confirm, international device gets scratches easily.... although still not annoying or noticeable on the pictures... will change if it gets worse#
I took my m8 to the beach ,sand scratched my phones aluminum back but not my lens.. And I removed a lot of sand from the Camera Lens...

Hi XDA members,
A month ago I ordered this one to protect the camera lens. The lens protector is made from plastic, so it become scratched very fast. Does somebody know a alternative, possibly made from Gorilla Glass?
My Xperia Z had a lot of scratches on the lens, so the quality of my photos become worse. That is the reason for my question.
Greetings

by using the lens protector it will affect the definition of the photos.

I can live with that, that's better than a permanent damage on the camera lens.
Martin Fields Screen protectors come with a camera lens protector made from the same hard wearing substance that the screen protectors are made from. I highly recommend Martin Fields products.

Mine shipped with a scratch in the AR coating on it! It may be good glass (I dunno) but it looks like the AR coating is very weak. Small recessed glass's don't have to worry about having a durable AR coatings but the huge one on the Z's looks like it going to be an issue for all of them.
Sent it back and already got another one. Spent a few min last night trying to cut down an old screen protector to fit but due to the flash being in the same circle - it causes major blow out when it lights so it needs to be much smaller and the edge needs to be blacked out.

You can protect the camera lens with some "cool" skins, like:
https://dbrand.com/shop/moto-z-skins
or
https://www.slickwraps.com/devices/phones/android/moto-z.html
mine has some lines too, I will get some pulish and after that a skin will help for good
hope it helps
Same here with Moto Z but this is a problem with all Moto devices all moto phones of this year scratch incredibly easy, ALL PHONES, from G4 Play up to Moto Z Force, I don't want to imagine how they will look the lens cameras in a couple of months later... terrible Motorola/Lenovo...
So far the only scratch I have is a small scratch on the top aluminum edge. No scratches on any of the glass. My dbrand skin should be coming some time this week. Black carbon back and white carbon camera.
can the camera glass be replaced?
Mine has some scratches and now that I saw that I'm not alone I knoe that is not my fault. It doesn't hurt the Picture quality but is really annoying
I set my Moto z play on the table and glass cracked can I get it replaced?

Thinking of getting a camera lens protector to protect it from scratches but worried it will affect the image quality. Any comments?
It sucks up 5% of the light, but the quality itself is not affected.
Might have some light reflections in your pictures when you use a cheap one.
No reflections at all here...

where did you get the camera lens from man? Looking forward to buying one for me Xperia 5 too!
Am I missing something, isn't the lens already covered in Gorilla glass 6?
As long as your case lifts the lens off the surface when you put it down, you shouldn't need an extra cover.
Any extra layer over the lens is going to degrade picture quality.

I tested one and found it introduces both glare and tends to diminish clarity. I would recommend against putting one on.
This is also similar to tempered glass or hydrogel front screen protectors. The front camera is so poor IMHO that it needs as much light as possible and nothing to dimish clarity.

Yeap, anytime you add optic elements like this you degrade the performance.
Almost all smartphone cams have built in lens protectors. That piece of glass or plastic isn't the lense, it's the protector!
Get a good case with a raised guard around the cam module and it will be fine.
Replacements aren't that expensive anyway.
Thanks for the inputs. Previously, my old xperia z's lens got covered in scratches during one my trip overseas. But eventually I managed to rub off the entire coating hence removing the scratches. That's why i started looking into lens protector.
