Samsung S7e plastic film

Hey guys!
Just received my s7e (europe) and I was wondering if there is any protective plastic film on the camera and/or on the flash & heart rate sensor?
I have removed the plastic film on the back but the camera & sensor was not covered so I wasn't exactly sure if the rest was protected. On pure sight, there doesn't appear to be any protective film but I am not 100% sure (maybe on the flash/heart rate sensor though).
If there is a film, what is the best way of removing it? With a toothpick, ...?
Anyway, thanks for feedback!

My S6 last year had a think film over the heart rate/flash and I used my nail to remove it, it actually scratched it. Its very soft plastic over that (assuming its the same).

At mine there was no film on the camera or heart rate sensor, just on the front and back glass.

Don't think so this year. However, word of caution, the plastic covering the heart rate sensor is easily phone to scratches (assuming it's anything like the plastic on the S6). I've had by S7E for about a week and I already noticed a scratch. Ugh...

The heart rate sensor in the Galaxy S6 scratched just by looking at it. Guess the S7 is the same.

I didn't notice any plastic film covering the camera lens.

I used a hammer to remove the plastic film on the heart rate sensor.
The screen is slightly shattered, but it is only noticeable if you look at it.
I recommend the use of a 9lb lump hammer, as a side benefit, it seemed to reduce the dimensions of my S7 Edge, making it easier to fit into my back pocket.
Can anyone suggest a good screen protector?

I have seen reports on that it actually has a plastic film. Mine has scratched already but I can't seem to be able to remove it.. If there is any to start with.. (I have the european version).

Mines scratched aswell. Hoping its a plastic cover thing.

Scratches on screen

I've been having my S8 for just a week and I already have some small scratches across screen. I never put it with my keys, nor had it contact with sand. Would.some sort of car scratch remover fix them?

There is some kind of protective coating on the screen. If you polish the screen too much it will rub off...so be warned.

Put a buffer on a grinder wheel! Lol.

Camera glass scratching

Does anyone have issues with the camera glass scratching?

nope , well protected by case

I do. When I bought the phone, during 2 days while waiting for a case the mobil was not covered by any kind of protection. I was very, very careful, beleive me, but then I saw some scratches on the camara glass... The scratches are thin and not seen easily, only from some angles but they are there.

do you? Or your Q is just for stats?

Are x722 and x720/x727 lens replacement compatible?

I have a lex722 and I want to know if the lens replacement for LEX722 and LEX720/LEX727 are the same. I can't find glass lens replacement for lex722 only for the lex720

Back camera protector film

Have anybody tried these back camera film protectors? I dont know how, but My note 10+ got a tiny scratch near the center camera, even though that I put an aluminum protective ring to exactly avoid this, after this scratch happened, I am afraid it will happen again, but also I think that the quality of the pictures may be impacted, any one has tried them?

Leave it. Protective film can make photos worse. For me it's better to fix little scratches in PS than have problems with light, colors etc.

How do you fix little scratches like this?

I also would like to know how to to fix it, the scratch is very light, almost imperceptible

Have you ever received the message to clean your camera lens when taking a photo?

Yes, when smudged by fingerprints or such, but, due to the tiny light scratch I mentioned, no

I don't have anything other than a wrap on my camera. There's nothing on the lense directly above the camera sensor, but it keeps things from touching it as easily/often . Most wraps include a piece for the camera as well as the phone, I've put wraps on my last few phones, and haven't had an issue with any of the cameras. Slickwraps and Dbrand both have quality wraps. I have Slickwraps on my Note 8 and 10+. After 2+ years of being on my Note 8, the camera wrap came off a month ago only because it was peeled off in one of my bags while traveling.

That honeycomb pattern looks nice!

I know this is an old thread, but I thought people might wanna learn a few things about these camera protectors. I got one made of glass. I applied it pretty easily, though I needed to make some postapplying adjustments. I don't see any impact upon pictures, during the day or taken at night with the LED on.
There is no way you can remove scratches from the camera glass as any attempt to polish it will have negative impact upon camera performance.

Oh my...
Not needed and it will degrade the image (refraction is one way). Adding uncoated optics is a big no-no especially.
It's not glass*, it a polycarbonate I believe and not the camera lense; it's a protective cover for the camera assembly below it.
The rear cover factory protector is cheap and easy to replace after you remove the rear cover.
A Zizo Bolt case gives good raised guards to protect it.
Keep your fingers off it and clean with a microfiber cloth as needed. Use a blower bulb first to clear loose sand if present.
I live in the desert, very windy with lots of sand and grit. After over a year and a half my 10+'s rear cam factory protector has no mars or scratches.
*you can polish mars and very slight scratches out of glass optics with a dry finger or palm.
Takes about 30 minutes or more. Any type of glass polishing more aggressive than this would likely deform it to the point of noticeably altering its optical qualities.
