Just got the phone, i peeled off teh read and front protector films, but its kind of hard to see if there is a protective film on the rear camera. Does anyone know for sure if there is one?
I don't believe it does. I got mine a couple days ago and mine didn't have one on it
Didn't see any on mine either. The one time I saw something like this was on a Galaxy S6, and it was a tiny film with a hole punched in the center so you could just use it like that if you wanted to.

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 ? ? ?
Hi,
As you probably know already, Aquos Crystal has Acrylic screen that can scratch easily.
I have tested myself Savvies SU75, They look good, scratch quite easily, so you have to change them often. The main problem with those films are that they do not fit the screen. Also the camera and sensor holes are a bit off. They are longer on the sides so the film sticks out. When I pocketed the phone, the film actually rolled up from the screen. So would NOT recommend any of this sellers films:

What films or glass do you use and recommend?
Also, do they fit perfectly on the edges and camera hole is in right place?
Is there a need for the camera hole really?
PS. Don't reply if you are not using any screen protection. We are not interested in hearing that

Looks promising. Price is also high
mybat case or screen protector
Go to amazon and pick up a mybat tempered glass screen protector just be sure to put it on right, once it sticks its a mother to get off, I'm stuck staring down a random hair every time my screen flicks off.. Runs for $10 after shipping through 3rd party amazon vendors most of which are in california (be sure to check where the vendors located don't want it taking a month to come from China. Also the mybat hybrid case world's great. It holds onto the phone by the slanted edges at the side of the screen, so you don't lose screen space. Runs 6-10 bucks in variety of colors (mines green and blue seahawks baby!).
So I've been using this LS993 which is the Sprint version, for about 3 days now. It looks like the lens that covers both rear cameras is all scratched up. I ordered a case for the phone but it's not arriving untill tomorrow. I believe a case would have prevented this from happening but too late now. Do you think Sprint would exchange for a new one, or do you think LG would do anything about it? Thanks for any input.
They will not exchange for a new one unless you claim a manufacturer defect or something. FWIW, case would have probably done little to prevent that as almost all cases I've seen don't cover the camera. Maybe offered some protection by raising whatever could be rubbing against the lens off the phone a bit. But against sand or keys it's no match. The camera is Gorilla Glass 4 I believe, but just goes to show you that it can still be scratched.
I have cut out and placed an old screen protector over my cameras to prevent exactly this. With the camera being flush to the phone, there's no protection.

Are you sure there is no sticker on the lens that you need to remove?
Pretty sure there isn't. I've picked at the edges with no luck. I can't believe the glass would scratch that easily though. It had to have been from just setting the phone down on the table or kitchen counter.

Granite will scratch it. There's a durability test out there that mentions this...
I ordered a case before I even got my phone. Helps with gripping when taking shots and it won't slip out of the hand as easily...
Mine is 5 days old and also all scratched up. It has been in a case from the 1st hour. It seems that even rubbing it with a cotton shirt seems to scratch it even more. I'm going to asking for a replacement or possibly switching to the S8. This is a defect!!
Have you guys seen this?

Someone's claiming that the glass itself isn't what's scratched but rather a coating that comes off.

Saw that after I posted.
I just bought a g6 and had the same issue. I had a screen protector from thebforst minute I got it but it scratched anyway on the rear camera lens. I thought maybe there was a plastic film protecting the lens but couldn't pull anything off. I then returmed into trouble and got another one and the same exact thing happened??? I have not been near the beach or anything so I'm not sure where the scratches came from? So I'm temporarily using a film screen protector to protect it until I figure out what the deal is with this rear glass. I was a le to chat with only and she did say there was a film on the rear camera lens but again when I tried to pick the corners nothing happened. I really dont known what to think because if I take it back to T-Mobile they will think I'm nuts. But this does cause an issue with the camera. The pics get a bad, bad flare for night pics with street lamps. When the lens is clear the flare doesnt happen. What do we do? I will try and call lg again but the people in the phone arent technical. I kmow I read the post where he says there is a coating that you buff off but should that coating be there? I dont want to ship it to lg because I need a phone for work plus they repair centers never tell you what they did to fix it? Is there a film? If there is Jerry rig didnt mention it on his testing. How can we confirm what the true issue is? For 650 I better get camera quality I expect for that kind of money. I dont want to give it back because I dont want a big bezeled phone, plus I dont like Samsung or apple. The only phone to get is the oneplus3t but they are rolling out the one plus 5 in a month and that will be bezeless. I feel screwed
Same issue here. Multiple G6 handsets including mine and my manager's. All with scratches. Almost all had cases. I am very careful with my device. Seems that if you just look at it wrong it scratches.
Other than polishing the coating off the lens as someone else here has done, you can cover the lens with a lens protector until they come out with a tempered glass version. Several have deduced it is the coating that is getting scratched, not the glass.
Currently I am using the Nillkin H+PRO since it was the only thing available at the time. I reviewed it here and it has pictures... comes with a tempered glass screen protector for front, two camera lens matte protectors and installation kit.

I highly suggest to do this until you either you decide to polish, purchase tempered glass protection, etc. No reason to allow it to get worse. I think once a tempered glass protection comes out for the camera lens I will be good to go.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a video showing the safest way to remove the glass once you've heated it? I've looked at a few video's on youtube but they either show someone taking out glass fragments piece by piece or one guy who attacks his poor phone with a spudger and looks like he's trying to rip it to pieces!
What should I look out for when it comes to finding a replacement unit? Is it better to buy the ones with the adhesive already attached or should I get one where the adhesive comes separately to the glass and use the glass I already have? I've seen some reviews where people complain about the new glass resulting in hazy images. Mine is fine on the main camera, but the wide lens is full of dust!
I'm in the UK and this looks like a pretty solid item and at that price, if it's no good I can soon get another.
Had the same issue only way to get out the micro peices of glass was to carefully pick them out and shake it a little then i used a hair dryer to blow everything out.
Just think of it as carefully surgery i tried my hardest not to let any pieces come in contact with the bare lens itself.
I bought the same thing but in white mines a grey phone so now its a 2 tone colour on the back.
I think you've got the wrong end of the stick, mine isn't broken, it's just got a lot of dust in the wide angle lens. So I need to be careful when lifting the whole piece out so I don't take anything else out that shouldn't.
You bought that exact one from amazon? Was everything OK? What's the quality like with the photos after changing over?
My bad anyways lifting it off you wont take anything else with it just heat it up with a dryer and peel away...but you might break it while doing this so Becareful and slide your thin tool ever so slowly along the edges.
I bought the same but not from that seller there all from the same china warehouse so no diff...to me photos havent changed at all.
Just bought 10plus... any tempered glass without a hole in market? I dont care for finger print reader... if anyone got a good tempered glass kindly post link.. thank you so much.
Double posting please delete, my bad.. thanks
I feel you.
I've had the same issues with urethane etc ones as well.
The reason they're like that is because it will cause optical issues with the front cam.
I don't care about selfies so some refraction, cmos reflections etc don't concern me.
At the end of the day finding the best screen protector that fills your needs is more important than that bloody cam hole.
If you can find one without sacrificing other needed parameters, fine. If not don't sweat it as the hole causes little trouble normally in well design protective cover.
The wet apply Gorilla IQ Shield has one and even on this 6 month old screen protector it's adhering perfectly around said hole.
It's time to replace it now and the hole was no issue at all in my case.
Been an alinsea tempered glass fan, for they have been good and great price. Puppy knocked onto floor so need a new one. Kinda changed search words for protector and have found Akcoo screen protector. Getting about same reviews as alinsea. Someone always has to degrade. Guess I will find out and let ya know.
So 3 screens. No hole camera cutouts no fingerprint locations. You are thinking...junk. I have posted pictures after on. Review...Love It No camera holes no fingerprint set area and nice side to side edge meet screen Most screens once hole set to camera you have a gap between screen and phone case. Not now. Once on, set, fits nice. Was paying 9.99 for one. Now you get 3 clear screens and all accessories. 16.99. No complaints. If you don't here from me. No problems. Watch video and cover plus lightly push fingerprint area while using light. Fingerprint works phenomenal!
Updated pick showing camera hole
