Camera scratches

[Derek Danforth]

Anyone notice a ton of small scratches on their camera glass? First day for me in the case.

I have not heard of anything like that except consumer damage.


Update: I was thinking of the V20.... Not sure if the glass is different.

Someone else reported this on here too, mainly in the camera photo forums, but I think that person ended up returning the G6 due to that and a few other issues.

I doubt it will impact the camera quality at all, but it may be a concern if a lot more show up. While Gorilla Glass 5 is resilient against breaking, it is prone to getting scratched up. Always trade offs.

In my pocket only. Not dropped or harmed by me. No sand or other items in my pocket either.

I had the same thing and returned mine for a new one. Im in a SUPCASE and have no idea how they happened. It didnt cause any issues besides driving my OCD into hyperdrive. So far on the new one Im scratch free but I wont be cleaning the camera with anything but tape from this day forward just in case. I hadnt cleaned the other one at all so I know it wasnt rubbing something across the glass. GG5 kinda stinks for this reason.

Mine has been in a case since day 1 - no scratches.

I noticed my Verizon G6 had several light, but noticeable, scratches over both lenses two days after purchase. I do not know how or when they happened. Could have shipped that way or maybe I inadvertently did it when I was struggling to get the dang IMEI back sticker off. My local Verizon store rep apologized & exchanged it for a new unmarred G6 with no questions asked. Without my prompting, they also let me keep the original G6 charger and put a new free glass screen protector on for me. Thank you Verizon! I have used the replacement heavily for two days (in a case) and the camera has no scratches.

I just noticed my G6 has several scratches on the glass of the rear camera. I'll be returning it because that's unacceptable.

I double checked mine.. still nothing.

Camera glass on G6 is gorilla glass 4...

Sure enough it is. Thats odd then because ive never had an issue with GG4 and scratches.

I wonder why lg decided to use 3 different gg. If it was just a cost cutting decision or they had some logic to it.

Checked my wife's phone before putting on tempered glass screen protector and case, her phone was good.

I'm assuming, 5 on the back due to the slight curve, 3 up front due to scratch resistance since they have other measures for strength, 4 on the camera for strength. Since the camera glass isn't curved no need for 5 but wanted the added strength over 3. I just find it odd that 4 is scratching so easily on some of the devices. My new one is still perfect but my original phone looked like a bear got ahold of it. Any other phone I've had with 4 on it has held up extremely well against scratches.

Oh crap, let me check...

Ugh... Scratches all over my camera lens. Literally hundreds of tiny scratches. It's going back today.

WTF, LG!
