They should make the camera lens cover out of Gorilla Glass instead of plastic.

I never noticed it before but the camera lens cover on my Samsung Mega is plastic and I believe all my other phones were too. This weekend I tried taking images of my new laptop and they all came out blurry and I checked the lens. All scratched up. I never noticed that the cover was plastic and not glass much less Gorilla glass like the front display. aarrgghh

 

I usually have a phone case but the camera bump is protruding a bit more than I thought even with the case, thus it would get scratched on a surface (at least that is my thinking of what happened).

 

Oh well, live an learn. I'll be careful the next time with a new phone and get a case that keeps the lens off the surface.

Hopefully more oems will start using sapphire for the camera lens like on the latest iphones.

One of the nice things about the iPhone is the sapphire lens cover. Much more scratch resistant then gorilla glass.

 

I hope other phone makers follow apple to prevent your issue.

I always thought that all phones had gorilla glass or sapphire crystal on the lens. Such a delicate piece of equipment. The finest scratch and the picture is ruined, indefinitely.

That is what I thought too. Maybe the Mega doesn't. Oh well, it won't be long before I switch phones anyway.

The M8 has a GorillaGlass lens I thought. However, they put a plastic film on top that scratches easily and can mess up photos. I used some rubbing alcohol and a q-tip and the film went away so now my phone takes excellent photos again.

A film to reduce glare maybe? That's odd....

GS5 had the plastic film on the lens too. Took me weeks to figure that out.

I actually was hoping that would be the case but nope. No film.

I sometimes have a bump protruding even more than I thought.  But it is a not a camera.

I now feel like I need to take a shower after reading that.
