Camera lens

Is the camera lens made of glass?
I really don't want to put a protector on it fearing it would alter photos.

I'm pretty sure you won't find a protector that covers the camera. Both my front and back protectors go around the camera.

fairly sure the camera lens is glass- mine already has two small chips in it. Not happy about it, as this is my first of 5+ phones to have anything like this happen to the camera.
Doesn't seem to effect the images, but i am still not pleased.

There is a company that offers a protector for the lens. I forgot which it is, but 1 does have it.

It's the Martin Fields one, 99% sure

sorry to revive this thread but is there anyone that knows for sure if the camera lens cover is glass of plastic? just curious because i have some scratches on mine that i was going to try to buff out with a plastic-x headlight scratch remover.
this stuff works great on hard plastic and just wanted confirmation before applying it to a glass cover. thanks

I don't think buffing is a good idea ...

yea i just have some scratches on the lens cover and was curious of the material. figure if i did try to use the plastic-x i may do more harm then good but was just curious. a little ocd. i guess if they get significantly worse i can always replace the rear housing. thanks

There is a thread about camera, cant find it at the moment, but I did read in it that the glass is part of the back cover.

[Q] [q] Camera lens protection

I decided to use my z1 without the case and i want to avoid scratching the camera lens . Is there a way that i can protect the lens or i have to use it with the case? The phone is to beautiful to use it with the case

i don't know of any camera cover for the Z1. besides, a cover would hinder the phone's camera from taking nice photographs. you could buy a tempered glass protector for the front and back. the tempered glass would add some bulk to your phone, (0.3 mm per side) and that raise would allow the camera to not touch any surface. also, the camera glass is sapphire. I've been using it caseless with a film protector at the back, no scratches yet. It has taken a lot of falls, so it can take a beating. but don't torture it.

i added some clear tape to the camera and it doesn't seem to affect the focus or the pictures . I will leave it with the tape until i will find a good tempered protector to apply

the Z1 has a camera glass protection on it's backcover. a z1 backcover is quite cheap and can easily be replaced. ~15 Euros

You mean the protector film applyed by sony or the glass back of the phone? The screen protector doesnțt cover the camera lens.

I am talking about the glass.

i dont think that my camera is covered by a glas . I can feel the metal camera ring and the back of the phone seems to be cut around the camera lens.

im also planning to buy the Camera Lens protector. does it affect the quality of the pictures?

You can get an aliminuim case that doesnt really make your phone look ugly

I already installed a lens protector (devilcase brand) it doesnt affect the quality of the camera/photos.

Using a Devilcase camera lens protector for a month or two now and no negative side effects yet so it's good.?

Camera lens sapphire glass?

As per title. I've read some reports online that mentions the g4 uses sapphire glass lens to cover the camera is that true?

I highly doubt it, as mine already has several hairline scratches.

Ahh, that sucks. Haven't actually gotten the g4 yet, but will be getting it in around a month. I've already ordered cases screen protector and a glass camera lens protector too.

Nope, it can get scratched with a blade but not keys. Same applies to the screen. The slight curve helps raise the camera lens, but a case that rises above the camera is best.

Moto z play rear camera has any protection ?

even though the case mod covers the camera bump slightly getting scratchs mine. i hope tat wont ruins my camera quaility

Not sure what kind of glass it is but if its scratched already then its not good lol try out incepios shells they are bit thicker and will provide camera protection so its not touching anything is laying on

Camera hass Gorilla Glass 3
Better use a case or something like

AR coating on glass is very weak. So the glass does not scratch but the coating on it does super easy.
