its been 2 months i am using my lg g2.. .it has faint scratches on its camera lens it seems to get scratch easliy...even when cleaning with a cloth lens gets small scratches..though it hasnt made any difference in image quality its fine as it was out of the box... so what if it is scratch to a extent where image quality gets blurry will i be able to change the camera lens ?
Known issue. Coating on the lens is cheap and non bonded film That scratches pretty easy compared to sapphire lens. Won't make much difference until it gets pretty bad. Mine has a couple tiny scratches you have to adjust angle in light to see. Has gotten no worse inn a month. Contact LG, they do replacement. Can buy and do yourself too(these are sapphire coated w/ar film non bonded( -_- )). Google search for lens and variant(Verizon uses different one, not as acceptable to scratches, because of button placements and different lens size. There are a couple big threads on this. Not sure if anyone tried "rubbing" off coating, but sounds viable.

Yes quite literally, its outer casing is scratching my pine surface like a wood plane. Anyone else noticed this?
yeah, personally I've started using mine for peeling the carrots. It does a pretty good job.
Place it down on a soft surface or take it out of the supplied case and then plonk it down on that. Yes the camera surround is sharp and poorly designed but it's not the worst fault by a long chalk.
lens is sharp
really? Hmmmm
I see there is square metal rin around the camera lens. Is it proturding few mm to protect lens from getting scratched when placed on the hard surface like table?
Unfortunately the similar metal rim in S2 and lens is flush and I've developed lots of minute scratches on the lens (visible when I see against light reflection). This is one of the biggest design flaw I saw in S2.
It's perfectly flush on my note... so I'll probably expect some scratches too...
This is really unfortunate. The S2 front bezel rim is actually hair proturding to protect from scratches if laid face down in smooth surface. What amuses me is that front screen is scratch proof but not the camera lens. I don't really like to put case. Maybe I should paste 1mm think rubber on two sides of the lens to prevent from getting scratches.
Actually, the front screen isn't scratch proof.
Can anyone confirm what the Note's main camera lens cover material is made of? Plastic, glass, gorilla glass?
I am considering getting a Note, but my current HTC Desire has a plastic lens cover which gets scuffed and scratched easily degrading the photo quality greatly.
I'd like my next phone to have a tough, scratch resistant lens cover.
As far as I know the lens is just ordinary plastic. If I were you I'd get a silicone skin to prevent scratches from rough surfaces I don't have any scratches on my lens yet but I handle my phone pretty careful and I don't ever put it together with my keys in my pocket.

Not sure if anyone has concern about scratching the camera lens, but I don't like taking chances when there is such an easy solution.
I cut down a screen protector to a diameter a little larger than the lens so that all edges remained under the battery cover. I placed the screen protector over the lens with the battery cover off, then reinstalled the cover over top.
Presto: lens protected. Has no effect on picture and movie quality and adds a bit of peace of mind.
I had first tried this over the battery cover, but under a cheap case I had, but it didn't fit against the lens front since the lens is slightly recessed below the cover.
I simply used the throwaway shipping screen protector the phone with and cut it down, but you could use any cheap screen protector. (ebay: about $1)
Note: Be sure to use a plain, clear screen protector. tinted/anti-glare, or others may change your picture quality.

I may be the only one that did not know this, but I thought that I would mention it just in case. There is a protective film on the Note 4 rear camera. In my case, I did not see it while using the camera for over 2 weeks. The film is hard to peel off because the edges of the film are inside the frame and it is very hard to get your fingernail under it. I was not really sure if the film was there or not. I tilted the back so that the light glare was shown. I noticed that the surface of the camera was not shiny and there were tiny scratches on it. After picking at it with my fingernail, it finally peeled off and all is well.
It has a hole in it so it doesn't actually cover the lens. I'm not sure what purpose it serves, but I've left mine in place.
Yes, I see it now. Obviously does not affect picture quality. I had peeled all the other film off the camera so this is just the last.
Is there a place where we can order replacement film?
I just left mine there. No idea what its for.
That little guy...
It's there to protect the camera lens. You can keep it on since it doesn't interfere with the lens but it's intended to be removed like the rest of the protective film.
Lol. This has been on every Galaxy phone I've bought. It's just the shipping plastic like around the sides of the phone lmao ? ? ?
