Has anybody purchased camera lens protection for this device? How about photo quality after this upgrade?
Bought 1 to try, still waiting for it to arrive.

Have it been for 2 weeks on it Camera function is not affected Purchased at Amazon
Hello ?
Installed camera lens protection, though in the day time photo quality is more or less same but the problem occurs at night. The source of light are distorted and photo becomes hazzy in some case. When i saw degraded photo quality i ripped off the protector and took the same shoot again and the result was so much visible that still i am without lens protection.
I don't have the link for the protector though. I will post it later on.
Aliexpress has bunch of those

Just recevied an email from Evolutivelabs.com since I did contacted them last week, and the G4 version of the screen protector is coming next week and you can pre-order now.
When installed its prety much like tempered glass...that never brakes :cyclops:
They also said depending on the response to this will tell if they make their bumper case
I received the same e-mail.
Hello!
Just a quick follow up: we just released the Rhino Shield impact resistant for the G4, on pre-order!
http://www.evolutivelabs.com/products/rhino-shield-screen-protector-for-lg-g4
We should ship early next week. How well it sells will factor in our decision-making about the bumper.
Best regards,
Patrick

I wish they did the bumper.
I realy wonder how the speaker/cam/sensor cuts will be...
I hope to see only speaker and maybe proxy sensor cuts...
All the other models I have seen for the G4 are ugly with a large asymetric cut.
Also I am wondering if they did created a sightly curved screen protector or simply a flat one that would take the curve by itself.
I want the bumper....
Just found one of the video testing the screen protector, the guy on the video keeps laughing and laughing... :
PS : and his screen protector isn't the right model for his actual device...

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm happy to buy the BEST product, WHATEVER that product may be. I'm not opposed to buying cookies from the dollar store, if they are yummy cookies.
If PET is the best protection, I'll go PET all day. Thank you for enlightening me.
Tbh this company is a joke. They always wait till a phone is released, then do a pre-order. By the time you get the product, the phone's been out 3 months.....

They will start shipping in 2 days.
That is not 3 month later, but at max 1 month after G4 launch.
The preorder thing is simply there for you to be sure to get the screen protection without delay.
If you are not happy with that simply buy something else.

I know that LG G4 camera is one of the best smartphone camera on the market, but if I can further improve camera with this little peace of hardware it will be more than welcome..does anyone has experience with it...
Yap. I bought a pair of cheap lenses for my G4 from local shop. It's also available in Amazon. They are interesting, if not awesome. Actually it depends on what's your purpose of using those lens.

I bought this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HLYEES2
And have only used it with a Nexus 5 to mediocre results - will try it on the G4 tonight.
I was think of getting one as well but seems like this phone lens area is not magnetized. My nexus 5 has magnet around the lens so that lens just sticks to the phone but not. On G4. I know that because nexus 5 always sticks paper clips on my lens but G4 doesn't.
I guess clip on will do..

By adding another element to the camera you are actually decreasing the quality of photos. Only improvement you will get is varying the focal lengths, if that is what you are after then attachable lens is your solution.
I've seen some with a stick on metal ring and magnetic lenses which may work better. But then as others have said, I'm skeptical of the optics quality. If anyone has seen anything like this with decent optics let us know :good:
I purposely didn't buy an expensive one knowing that the optics simply aren't great, but it's a great little toy for $10....
Focus is the real challenge...both phones I've used with the lens have struggled with auto-focus and OIS - the lens just tricks the internals. However, the manual mode of the G4 made it much easier to use, but it's still hard to tell on the screen. These are little low light as I was racing sunset after work. As with most photos, they're much better (as is focus) in better light conditions. I also didn't crop these to provide the full effect - you'll likely have to crop photos with this superwide fisheye. I struggle to keep my fingers out of the shot some times.

Element seriously need to make a case like this for the G4. Especially since the big seller for the G4 is it's photo capabilities! They could PROFIT. I'd be first in line.
I had a ZTYLUS one for my S4 that I wish was available for my new G4 as well too. Siiiiiiiigggghhhh. The first world problem of owning a new phone.
Has anyone else tried out this lens with the mate8? Apparently it lens will only attach to phones up to 5.5inch but it fits my mate8, takes some fantastic shots too!
pics? both of the phone with attached lens, as well as ones taken by the mate 8 comparing identical motives with and without lens

Can this lens/camera module can be actually attached to the Mate8 (which has around 83mm with a slim case on)?

i guess they want to get the hype train rolling. but kudos to them for giving us a hands on tour before the sept 1 announcement.
yes, the wide angle camera is annoying. oh well. beggers can't be choosers.
thoughts?
i'm skipping this version. all the "new" features don't amount to another $2000+ purchase (without the trade in of course).
This version has me so intrigued. I did not get the first edition. But I am going to get this one. I have the note 10+ and love it. But the note 20 ultra did not seem to move me to get it. This version of the fold seems more complete. I'm just worried on how delicate it really is.

Is there any information on the wide angle lens here? I didn't hear or see anything.
Main camera: 12 MP (OIS, PDAF)
Second camera: 64 MP (Telephoto, PDAF)
Third camera: 12 MP (Ultra-wide, OIS, PDAF)
Video recording: 3840x2160 (4K UHD)
Front: 10 MP (HDR)
Folded: 10 MP
the video presenter was very annoying. just not a good way to show this new tech off.
it was nice to see the fold, tab, and watch but the wide angle distorted the size of them. the presenter here was annoying.
that said. ive already bought the note 20 ultra 5g and i have a spare line for the fold, so i plan to get it. i already signed up for the pre order through samsung.

Me too, doesn't make sense to me. Although I'll prob put a case on anyway. Not liking the bronze much, gonna go black.
I don't love the bronze but I like it well enough to choose it over the fingerprint magnet, aka black. I'm thinking about running this one out of a pouch so the fingerprint aspect is going to matter.

I'm hoping for some good case offerings. In the US, Samsung.com had no cases offered during pre-order and none appearing in the accessories section of their website. Samsung cases are odd as well. Only covering just one side of the Fold and supposedly pretty pricey.

For anyone reading this thread I want to correct these details.
Not sure how accurate this is but there is no 64 MP camera, all the rear camera's are 12 MP.
From - https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-2/
Rear Camera
Primary: 12MP, f/1.8, OIS
Secondary: 12MP, f/2.2, ultra-wide-angle
Tertiary: 12MP, f/2.4, telephoto
Front Camera
Folded: 10MP, f/2.2, fixed focus
Unfolded: 10MP, f/2.2, fixed focus
To put this into context at that time there were no official specs and those were the expected "leaked" numbers I posted; thanks for the correction.

But doesnt show shipping until the end of the month, at least in my region. They are drastically overpriced and provide minimal coverage also.

those options are now on backorder on samsungs us site, so clearly many think they are worth the coin.

I don’t disagree. Many people like minimalist cases so the Samsung options would have been perfect. I think it goes to show that not everyone is paranoid about the durability.
also agree. im not paranoid at all and plan to use the fold z sans case , but keep it in a pouch. ive seen some cats use the OG fold with no case and the phone looked great. im not in a habit of dropping phones but i do like th kickstand case for the reason that i can use that kickstand to prop up the device.
This is only first gen., but if I had some of these available. Would anybody be interested in using these?
Made one in white so it's easier to see.

For those of you who purchased the screen protector. Please send me a message if you need a replacement. I'll work on getting it to you as cheap as possible. Thanks.
Hello everybody in an effort to continually improve. I have come up with some design improvements. Some of the items addressed were preventing snagging in pockets, and reducing the webbing thickness by 0.1 mm
Just ordered mine today! Thanks.
Hey everyone. 3.1 revision is out.
Cheers!
I think I have it set up now on ebay to accept international orders. heads up.
Cheers.

Hard to quantify... I've had reports of it saving the phone from an 8 foot fall onto concrete... The case needed replacing, but the phone was not damaged.
I got this case, i must say tho this really does protect the front screen. I didn't expect that a case is possible for the front screen.
Now, the problem with this case is the material. It's made from hard plastic, if left too long on the phone it unfortunately left a dent mark on the front screen frame.
If another version is made, it should use different, softer material.

Hey there. Would you be able to send me a picture of what you are talking about? I've been using this screen protector since December 2020 and have not experienced that problem.
The plastic case should not dent body or front screen of the phone. I would think only an impact would do something like that.
In other news... I am working on the Prototype with a different material.
