How to Protect Galaxy S21 Ultra Camera from Dust and Scratches?

This year’s Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra will arrive with a host of improvements in terms of performance, display, design, and camera as well. Compared to its predecessor S20 Ultra, the newcomer has a dual-telescopic lens setup combined with a 70mm lens that takes care of the medium-range shots, while another 240mm eye equips the user with the ability to zoom at the farthest subjects.

Apart from these, the camera module also houses a Laser AF Sensor and an LED. But what actually entices users into buying this device is the overall design, the manner in which the camera module blends into the side frame, giving it a modern and stylish look. If you are planning to buy this smartphone or already have one, it becomes a priority to preserve the looks. And, one way you can do that is by having a camera lens protector.

Just like screen protectors, camera lens protectors work to safeguard the camera lens from damage caused by dust, scratches, and other factors. When you are looking to purchase one, it is important that you make a careful choice. How? We’ll tell you here.

In this article, we will discuss what to look for when buying a camera lens protector for your Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra smartphone. We’ll also recommend some products which you can consider with a blind-eye.

What to look for in a camera/screen protector?

Galaxy S21 Ultra Camera Lens Protector

Material of the protector

We can’t stress this point enough. If you have read our previous articles on how to choose the best screen protector, we had mentioned the importance of picking the right material type.

Available in two categories- plastic and glass, camera/screen protectors can both do the job for you. However, it is upon the user to pick the one which will suit his requirements. If you are someone, who is going to use the phone while hiking, or while working in an industry, or some tough job like these, where your phone can be exposed to damage by dropping, we suggest you pick the glass material. However, if you are someone who does the 9 to 5 on an office desk and shifts between meetings in a well-maintained office environment, go for the plastic material type.

Furthermore, making a choice between the glass and plastic material type can also depend upon how much you prioritize longevity. If you want something to last for a year, select a quality glass protector. Not to mean, plastic protectors, don’t last that much, however, they are more prone to change in their appearance over time.

Hardness

If you are looking to purchase the glass material type screen/camera protector, this point may appeal to you. Glass camera protector material is classified on the basis of their number on the hardness scale. 3H, 5H and 9H are the three hardness values defined for implementation in the screen/glass protectors. It is always better to select the one with a higher hardness value, as it is likely going to be better at resisting abrasion and give you clear looking protector surface for long.

Dimensional Compatibility

You have found the right material type, with the maximum harness value, what next? Don’t forget to check the compatibility in terms of dimensions. Yes, a majority of screen/camera protectors in the market are not dimensionally compatible with the camera module and the display. You’ll find them lacking the width and sometimes an adequate provision for the front camera and the speaker grille.

Therefore, before you purchase a screen/glass protector make sure you check these things beforehand. If you are purchasing one online, you can go through user’s opinions in the product reviews section and see if it’s actually the product worth investing in.

Thickness

Not really a significant aspect, but an important one to consider. Different screen/camera protectors have different thicknesses. You’ll find protectors with a thickness between 0.3mm-0.5mm in glass material types and up to 0.1mm in plastic material types.

As the best choice, you can choose a camera/screen protector with a 0.3mm thickness.

If you select an excessively thick protector film, it may interfere with the on-screen experience like lagged touch-response, lags in on-screen fingerprint scan, and more. You can check for the thickness information in the product manual before you make a purchase.

Some recommendations

While you are too entangled in making a choice between an abundance of camera/screen protectors out there, here are some recommendations to help narrow down your choice.
