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.

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....

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

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
