Is there a plastic film on the camera lens?

Hi all, I know it might sound stupid, but is there a plastic film on the edge plus camera lens?
I'm used to find it on every new phone I get (it was present event on my last note 4 and galaxy s6), but looking at the camera lens of my new Galaxy s6 Edge Plus...it doesn't seems to be any plastic film. I was only able to spot and remover a tiny plastic film on the flash sensor. That's it. Am I right?
Thanks in advance

Mine was same as yours. I looked with magnification and found nothing on camera.

Same here. I had one on the flash but nothing on the lense.

There was one on the flash/HRM, not on Camera though!

Anyone have their camera slightly off center? First Samsung handset and not sure if the camera underneath the lens should be centered? Mine is slightly below center, a non-issue but still curious.

I have read about this somewhere. I think it moves and everyone's are that way. Nothing to worry about.

It's due to OIS. If you hold the phone in selfi position with rear camera and keep trying different focuses and shake, you'll see your camera hole moving accordingly..

Misaligned Front Camera S7 EDGE

Hi Guys,
I purchased the Galaxy S7 Edge from Uae and now I am back in my hometown.
unfortunately my phone is only a month old and i just noticed that the front camera is misaligned by 1mm or so, you can see more of the black ring and the lens of the camera is more towards the right.
Although the camera works perfect and there are no problems, should i be worried?
I am extremely worried as the phone has no warranty in my country .

Mine is a bit misaligned as well. I wouldn't worry about it as long as it works as it should.

Thank God that is such a relieve as I don't have warranty support in my country and if i go to a service center they are known to rip customers off by selling unwanted parts especially to phones without warranty.
Is this normal, I saw this on other devices and some were aligned correctly?
Could you please share a picture of your device if possible?

Yea dont worry about that. I believe most are like that people just dont look that hard at there phones.

Hi thanks for the reply.
How is your front camera?
Well the rear camera aint misaligned, it uses OIS so it keeps on moving

Yea its just a bit off on the bottom of the camera.
You gotta look real hard to see. But its there. Doesnt effect anything since it doesnt cover the lense.

Same here i can see that theres much room on the bottom part of my front camera, but its working fine.

By room you mean the black part correct? As I can see more of the black ring which makes a gap between the lens and the outer ring but again mine is on the left side and not bottom so is that okay?

Yes. Its like the hole in the top glass was cut to big and off ceneter.

Alright thanks a ton

The black one is mines. It has a screen protector on so thats the top offset.
But if you look at the black trim you can see where on the buttom of the camera it has more space then the top as its off center
My wife is the sliver one.
I did my best to take a picture of it. You can see how hers is center.
Either way it dossnt effect the camera.
And fyi these pictures were taken with the phone lol.
My nikon battery was dead.

Thank you so so so much for the pictures.
Mine is somewhat just like yours, I am glad that I'm not the only one.
Your wife's camera also looks a little misaligned from the right or I don't know if its because of the picture.
It's just ironic that a phone with such a hefty price, one would expect some quality and tolerance?

Did you check your camera glass just to make sure there are no scratches on it? I can tell because of the "blur" effect on the photos

Yes, I checked

Yes, there are no problems with camera glass and no scratches on it. When I was using Marshmallow then photo clarity was superb.

This has to be because there are scratches, or because the lens is damaged. My camera has definitely improved after Marshmallow. See with a microscope if there's some scratch or block.
To verify, downgrade to MM and see if there's a difference. I think that there will be.

.. just following YouTube videos I cleaned camera glass with toothpaste... Now clarity is 100% good...

Well all are at the same day arounf 3mos old

This happed to me once. Turns out, the camera glass had my fingerprints or oily substance all over it, which you cannot see normally, but after I wiped it clean, the photos began to be crisp again. I'm not sure how much of this is going to help anyone, but what's wrong in sharing experiences, right?
Good luck!

The camera glass might be scratched, I get a similar effect (in a much lesser degree tho)and my glass got scratched from pocket keys
