Is Camera Lens of Mi 9 SE scratch resistant? - Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers

Have a nice day! Based from Jerry Rig the Mi 9 is using the sapphire glass on camera lenses. I'm curious if the Mi 9 se is using the same glass on its camera lenses?

I think the SE has sapphire also, based on sales information

As a Mi 9 user with the default case since March, I have no scratches. So you should be happy

I have the regular Mi 9 and have been using the default case also since I first got it. I wouldn't rely on the sapphire. I believe it's a mixture of a glass and sapphire.
A month after just having the Mi 9, I was squatting and the phone accidentally dropped out of my pocket. I would say it was about a 1 foot drop onto the cement floor. The default case does nothing to protect the camera glass since the glass protrudes outside of the case. Sadly to say, a small drop like that cracked the top part of the glass putting a line down the middle of the top lens putting light flares in pictures when using that top lens.
Do yourself a favor and get a case that doesn't have the camera glass popping out of it.

It's only H6
it means scratches without protection are with a probability bordering on certainty.

Dust collecting under the main lens of Redmi K20 pro

I've received my redmi K20 pro for only 2 weeks now and I've noticed that my main 48MP lens has been collecting dust since. The phone is in perfect shape. No leakage or anything. I've been using the case that was in the package. Is there anyone else who has the same problem? I've attached the picture.
No similar experience?
I have! But not the main camera, but only under the wide camera.. Annoying, but dont use the wide camera that often!

Yeah, you are luckier than me. I donno even why this is happening.
Must be a fault from the manufacturing. Since it has started to build up as soon as I got the phone.

No but my back panel got some thin scretches as I don't use back case or any protector now i am thinking to buy transparent thin protector film for back panel.
Welp, similar issue now rises with Redmi Note 9/9S/9 Pro users at a greater number:

Hi, unfortunately after using k20 pro for a year and half. Now i can see some dust particles collecting under my wide angle camera glass. I don't know whether this is a manufacturer defect or not cause i didn't see that earlier.
By the way do anyone figure out how to clean them?

Huawei P30 Pro camera scratch - would it affect image quality?

Hi,
I just got a new Huawei P30 Pro. After unpacking it discovered that there is a small scratch on the camera glass, just at the edge of the ultra-wide camera. The glass in front of the other cameras seems clear.
Please refer to the photos and the red circle in the first one - this is where the scratch is located.
Do you think it would affect image quality?
I haven't yet shot with the phone in the bright sun, but I could not see any artifacts or flare when shooting indoors towards bright objects, mostly lamps.
In case you think it would negatively impact image quality, would the warranty cover the phone to be exchanged with a new one or only the glass shall be polished/replaced?
Did anybody have similar issues with a new P30 Pro out of the box?
Thank you in advance!

Question Is the ceramic back softer than Mi Mix and other Panels ?

Hey Folks,
I have noticed 2 small chips in the ceramic back panel of my Mi 11 Ultra on the 5th day of delivery. It's so small(almost needle tip size), it's not visible under normal daylights. Need to check in room light and by slightly moving the phone. Is anyone else also noticing such chips ? I feel these are factory defects mostly since the chipped parts are also equally shining/reflective.
I have had Mi mix in the past for more than 1.5 years. Never noticed any such chip on Mix. I never use any protection film or case since I guess ceramic doesn't scratch with daily objects and my phones don't fall very often(touch wood).
No point in adding a photo of the chip since I am not even able to capture it on camera, its so small.
Just Clean the back side and put a skin

Thanks for the amazing tip Bro. You sorted my life.
Anyone noticing such chips is my question. I am checking with the service center for replacement anyways. Just want to understand if this is a one-off unit or it's a general problem.
Its General issue to all Ceramic and Glass Panels.
Ceramic in general should be harder than glass

Depends, I don't prefer to make my device bulky when I hardly drop it. Had 1st gen Mi Mix for 2 years without skin or case, no drop, no scratch. Mate 20X for about 3 years, I use skin on the rear since it's glass(very scratch-prone), maybe a total of 2 drops of 2 feet height, and it survived both

Yes, that's what I am concerned about. I am not sure if the dents are done by me or factory-made. Ceramic phone I was planning to keep without any skin since I have already kept Mi Mix for 2 years without any rear-skin.
Mi Mix Ceramic was rated 8 on Mohs by JerryRigsEverything in its scratch test. I found a video of Mi 11 Ultra scratch test where the guy rates it 7 on Mohs.

It may not be you who drops the slippery fish, one fouled hand off is all it takes. Maybe it will happen to fall four feet onto concrete. Actually a true story, the brand new phone belonged to my former scumbag boss. It was a tragedy
I have a 10+ that's heavy and the only thing it wuves to do more than corner hit is face plant. Without a case it just wouldn't be it's spotless self.
High G impact ie 3-4 feet onto tile, concrete etc generates enough high G loading to break a chipset's internal bonds amoung other things.
A good case spreads out the impact G spike load and makes it survivable. It also makes it easier to hol, to grasp and helps prevent accidental screen touches especially with curved displays so it's more usable.
These are not ruggedized phones without a case.
Do as you will...

Glass and ceramic are chemically similar but structurally different. Ceramic tends to be slightly harder, but sand will scratch it. Most metals will not.
You can actually use the edge of a car window the sharpen a knife. A ceramic cup also works.
It's possible you did it, it only takes a grain of sand. At least it's not the display. Consider a wet apply plastic screen protector. My display would have been scratched by now without one.
A good case has slighty raised edge guards that prevent direct contact on flat surfaces.
Fun fact, you can polish out very fine scratches in glass with a dry palm or finger tip.
Your skin is slightly abrasive to glass.
Works on coated optics like as well.

Question Camera protection good or necessary?

What are your experiences with the camera area? Is it necessary, helfpful or bad to use an extra protection glass around it?
I bought this one (or identical) even before my device arrived, and using it since day 1, so I do not know honestly the experience without it.

Thanks. I was hoping to find out wheteher it influences camera quality.
You really gave a cover without holes for the camera? Does that work fine?

The one that I used is with holes. First for the IR and second for flash.
I saw a few without holes but I did not buy as I read that it affects focus.

Question Broken "REAR DISPLAY"

Hi,
It seems I have a very peculiar problem at hand as there is absolutely no info about it anywhere. I happened to drop my Mi 11 Ultra from about 6 feet height and it landed with a thud with the display facing down. Luckily the display survived. No crack, no damage nothing but then came the shocker. Somehow the rear display has cracked. The glass protecting the camera lenses and the rear display itself is fine but the rear display has a few cracks and it has become dead.
I quickly checked the rest of the phone, everything's just fine. Now I did not think that replacing the rear view display would be such a big problem but when I contacted Mi Customer care via Online chat, they said that the rear display can't be replaced in India!
I saw a couple of teardown videos of the Mi 11 Ultra and it seems that the display is molded/sealed or embedded into the ceramic back. So technically it seems to look like as if replacing the ceramic back means the rear display will by default come with it.
Can anyone please confirm this? Mi Customer Care seems to be useless. Need your input guys. I will be really grateful. Thanks!
