What is the best camera lens protector? - Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories

What is the best protector for the main camera lenses?
We need something non degrading the images, hard and non interfering with the flashlight.

Some tempered glass come with protection for camera lenses
However, if you don't have any, just a simple piece of clear tape does the job

I used the alloy protector for mi8 camera, u can found it on aliexpress https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/bNfZgpNQ

I have bought this glass lens protector, it is like an adhesive you put on the lens. I thought it was glass. But it's nice because you don't notice it and protects against scratches on the lens. Recommended.

Please help I melted my camera lens

Guys, I thought our lens was made of glass and tried to melt the scratched coating, the lens was made of plastic, I'm about to buy a new lens, I want to know if I damaged the underlying lenses, the ones inside the camera module, to know if I must buy a new camera module altogether or just the exterior lens

You know, you could also take a pic with another phone or camera and show us the damage so that we can get an clear idea of what you mean.....
In any case I assume you burned the glass that is attached to the back cover it is basically a protector for the cameras actual lens.
Here you can get the back cover that comes with the glass you destoryed.

Camera lens durability/scratch proof?

Hello everyone I bought this phone for the camera.
I have read a few different reports where people say the camera lens scratches really easily but other reports are saying it has scratch proof glass, which is it?
I want to keep the lens protected if easily scratched but these lens covers/protectors look like they will ruin the quality of photo.
Any answers or advice here please?
Hi, the lens is protected by tempered glass, keys and coins, even razor blade cannot scratch it.
And for a lens cover, I saw some on Amazon.
Recently, somebody here reported breaking the cover and had to buy a new one. The lens are probably more sturdy though.

I have my phone in a good protective case and I have a tempered glass screen protector.
My concern is the camera lens on the rear scratching so really I don't know if I should continue with a lens protector and lose some image quality or leave it off as the lens is pretty durable. I cannot get any factual answer either way.
I am not sure about posting a direct link to Amazon, but currently utilizing the kit available for $7.89 (by UPONEW) and do not notice a change in image quality.
Below is the product name:
"for Huawei P20 Pro Back Camera Lens Screen Protector - 2 Sets/Lot=4Pcs Dual Ultra High Clear Tempered Glass Back Camera Lens Screen Protector Film for P20 Pro"

I do have a similar product on my lens, some images look great but sometimes they look a little off in areas and cannot work out if it is this lens protector. If I know the lens has good scratch proofing I would remove it!
I scratched my rear camera lens within weeks of owning. Only a tiny scratch even though I have a decent case and have tried my best to look after it. Pictures are unaffected. You can get a new lens for very cheap online so I'll probably do that if it gets worse.

I worry about the lens protector I have on and picture quality, certain areas of my pictures always look a little blurred or lower quality. Is this a focus thing on camera settings or the screen protector do you think?
The only thing I can suggest is if you still have the second lens protector ( the link says 2 pack...) us to take a bunch of photos In various lighting, then remove the protector and take the same photos again so you can compare. You can always put the spare protector back on afterwards.

Toothpaste on camera lens

I see some tiny scratches on my camera lens mi 9 t pro.i search on internet i see that People use toothpaste in order to remove thise scratches but this actually removes also this lens coating that canera has! Now my camera lens is clear but i am curious if the coating that i removed will affect my photo's quality!?

It will not affect the camera quality, but now your camera is more vulnerable to scratches then before, so be careful now
Sent from my Redmi K20 Pro using XDA Labs
I am very careful now i order some protector glass for lens
I ask this question bexause i saw that People sah this coating is anti-reflection coating some other say its uv protection coating and some other just a extra protection for camera lens
Quite being a cheapskate, buy a proper TG for your camera lens. The adhesive film of the TG usually hides the scratch(es) if they're not very deep.
Yes i already order protector! So the removal of this coating will not affect my photo's color and quality correct?

Hard to say to what degree it must have got removed..
If the uv & glare coatings are fully gone then likely you'll see minor flares & weird bright patches in pics..

Rear camera protection

Because this is my first phone with a protruding rear camera so I started to worry about protection. Are there any protection of rear camera in modern phones?

Anything you put on camera glass would mess with Zeiss coating. It's counter productive tbh to pay for a feature (i.e. Zeiss coating) but then handicap it. I'd just get a good case with raised edges around cameras to protect and leave the glass alone

Lens glass and coating is extremely important for the quality of the light that passes through. By putting another layer of glass or plastic or whatever on top of already coated and optimized glass, you are interfering with flow of light

Well i dont know if it has something to say or not...no idea about stuff like that tbh. But i bet its better than risk a scratched lense glass from pocket sand, a drop and etc...

Agree.. I have already stick a transparent film on my rear camera.. no issue. happy with my Xperia 1 II
In fact i'm looking for something like this:
http://nillkin.org/search/?search=CamShield%20&limit=100
But they don't have for Sony brand. I have already sent a message to the website but no reply at all.
If i got transparent case (because i like the original purple mirror color) with a slider protection for the rear camera, i will definitively remove the film protection then.
If anyone know a brand similar to the CamShield type, it will be great. Thanks
I bought this glass camera protector from Japanese Amazon. Shipping was actually really fast to the US. It fits the camera module perfectly. It does attract fingerprints a bit more than the camera glass itself but it's very easy to wipe clean.

Question euti/screen protector for cameras

As we know ultra has big camera island any idea to protect them? I saw some special etui but its looks bad imo. Maybe some tempered glass? Is tempered glass not disturb the operation of the cameras? I don't feel confident to put my phone down, I'm always afraid that I will scratch something
I think if you put extra layer of glass on top of cameras you will get extra light reflection in some situation.
protect it. I got my cover on ebay.
A plastic film/glas protector will alter the light hitting the sensors for sure and make it worse
Also, Mi11 Ultra have Laser autofocus, not sure how that will be working with extra glass or film on top of it.
EDIT: seams like there is no laser autofocus...there is DualPixel Autofocus: https://petapixel.com/2021/02/23/samsung-unveils-new-50mp-sensor-with-next-gen-dual-pixel-autofocus/

Some cases already have holes for the camera, in a few more weeks the case selection will be much larger on ebay , aliexpress and all those asian shopping sites
I ordered this one, I will let u know how it works.
