What is the camera lens made from? Is it sapphire crystal coated, sapphire crystal, some sort of Corning gorilla glass or?
I have not see any reference to this.

Corning as usual.

The Note 7 was sapphire crystal and NOT just coated as with the iPhone latest. Wonder why Samsung took a step backward on this? Interesting

The Note 7's camera lens was also made out of Corning Gorilla Glass, not sapphire crystal.
I do not know where you got that from.
glass same as the back of the phone and the ring around the camera is made of metal.

Gorilla glass can get scratched by grains of sand.
No it doesn't...that's why it got scratched so easily.

Sgs2 lte does have gorilla glass.
Gorilla glass is scratch resistant not scratch proof

Only diamond is scratch proof (except by other diamonds). I don't know where you guys get this "gorilla glass is a magical unscratchable substance" from.
Science lesson: Aluminosilicate glass (gorilla glass) with mohs hardness of 7 is more than most metals used in keys and knives but there are many minerals with a hardness above that. Silicon dioxide is 7, aluminum molecules can be up to 9! These two types of molecules make up most of what you see in dirt and sand and since they have a higher hardness can scratch your phone.

I'm really wondering about this now. I couldn't find on Samsung's or Corning's website where it specifically mentions that the Skyrocket has Gorilla Glass. The Corning website does feature the GSII. I emailed Corning with the question. Hopefully they will respond.
I've read at least 1 review that mentioned the Skyrocket did not have it. I've read several that said it did.
It mentions the Galaxy S II line of specific models. Why do you think the skyrocket would not have it? It is of the Galaxy S II line. The Galaxy S models have it. Saw a post on another website where someone called Samsung technical support and they confirmed the SR does have Gorilla Glass. Having said that, it is not scratch proof.
"I actually just called Samsung as I am looking to buy this phone and wanted to know myself. The mobile device section said that it IS indeed Gorilla Glass. Not sure why the reviewer on Youtube said it's not. Having said that, I don't believe the stuff is bullet proof. It can obviously scratch if you try. I wouldnt be putting it in my pocket with keys."

I know what isn't scratch proof. The pos back cover. I literally put it my loose work pocket with my Casio work phone by mistake for all of 5 minutes, when I pulled the skyrocket out the back cover was literally covered with scratches. The front I'm not sure about but the back is a joke.

Aluminosilicate glass makes me think of Star Trek IV, and the clear aluminum recipe Scotty traded for plexiglass.
Gee, did I actually just type that?

this site says it does
buffing compound and swirl remover...............maybe?
eBay Screen protector dude for next time.
The i727 is one of Samsung 1st phone to use fortified glass like the Galaxy Nexus..
People don't realize that Samsung can make their own Gorilla Glass in the New SamsungCorning.com Joint Venture. Samsung is authorized under a full license to make Gorilla Glass for everything from big screen tv's to mobiles. So why did they choose to use their own new Fortified glass? Because cost less and it's BETTER! .....especially if Samsung used their graphene technology coupled with their far superior Polymer Polyimide plastic base (same ingredients as Bullet Proof Plastic), that are both flexible and far more durable than any kind of glass! .....even Bullet Proof Glass!!!!

I just read on reddit that the Verizon GS3 does NOT have Gorilla Glass.
Anyone know the truth?

Yes it does, Gorilla glass 2 to be precise. I personally think it sucks, I had my first scratch a week into owning the device
Now there will be Gorilla Glass 3 (soon).
Gorilla glass 3 looks really promising!

Whatever you call it. It is tempered glass. People get too worked up about brand names rather then quality.
The glass its self has a hardness level of about 7. But the film they put on the outermost layer(part you touch) has a hardness lever of 9. Correct me if I'm wrong. But 9 out of 10 is not perfection.
Always use a screen protector.
A heads up that I have noticed is that the quartz in sand does a fantastic job of scratching the screen. So stay off the beach. Haha.

Took me 2 weeks to get it but I only paid $3 and it has the 2.5D curve.
won't fit properly like the other tempered glass protectors

How do you know? I've purchased a few cheap tempered glass ones for the Note 2, Note 3, S4 and S5. They all fit perfectly.
Is it because of the curve on the actual phone screen?

Yup, refer to the tempered glass thread, no luck so far with any of them
previous notes had completely flat screens, I wish they kept it that way

not sure, no one has posted photos
Someone just posted a photo of their Spigen glass and that one looks alright(not perfect) that one is smaller that the other glass protectors to avoid the issue but it's still not perfect.
I think the last Samsung phone with a curved screen was the S3 and I don't think any manufacturer ever offered either a tempered glass or a film protector that covered the entire screen because they could not get a proper fit.
Is it Gorilla glass 4 or sapphire? I can't find anywhere information about this.
It's a Gorilla Glass 4. Front and back
I know about front and back glass. I'm asking about camera glass cover.
He answered your question the first time. It's gorilla glass on both sides

Are you sure the camera lens is gorilla glass? It is not part of the main rear glass panel.
Samsung are not making a big deal about the material (like HTC are with the M9 being sapphire), so I am guessing it is neither. Probably no different than the glass used in the Note 4 which it seems was easy to scratch.
Androidauthority managed to crack the lens on their review unit.

It seems like a normal glass... Noted as well in the review by android authority that they cracked the lens camera
I read somewhere that it is in fact GG4. Source I cannot give, since I read that a long time ago. However I've never had problems with the lens glasses on my previous Galaxy phones, I have no reason to believe it will be much different with the S6.
And the fact that AA managed to crack the glass doesn't mean it is NOT GG4. It is a glass, no matter what marketing name you are going to give it, after you drop it, chances are that it will break. So having GG4 doesn't make your phone invincible ya know.....

Exactly, even if it had a Gorilla Glass 20, it is glass still.

I was wondering that too. My guess is that since two of their major competitors (Apple and HTC) have made a big deal over the sapphire their lens cover, and Samsung has been silent on that, that it is neither sapphire nor gorilla glass.

Its at least gorilla glass. No I have no proof but there's no way they wrap the phone in gg4 then put something cheap on the only vulnerable part. That would be a PR nightmare.
Glass Covering Camera Is Regular Glass

I called Samsung and was on hold for 15 minutes while they confirmed. They told me the front and back are Gorilla Glass 4, BUT the glass covering the camera is regular glass.
After experiencing scratching on my Note 4 this is a deal breaker as the GS6 looks more difficult to remove and replace. If Apple, LG, and HTC can put sapphire over the camera to mitigate scratching, so should Samsung.

Nope it's just crappy thin easy to scratch and break glass.
so i will keep the plastic on !
Yeah, this sucks. I have had my s6 for 2 weeks. Camera cover is already scratched to hell. All I've done is put it down on my desk and in my pocket. Not happy. This is going back to Verizon. Will wait for the next moto x (which must be a gorilla glass cover as it's unscathed after a year)
Got my S22 Ultra in graphite today. I am almost 100% sure the back is plastic. I got ahold of support and they said it's supposed to be gorilla glass. Has anyone else gotten an exclusive color that can comment?
I got the same one, it's not plastic.
Brass won't scratch glass, plastic it will.

Same on my N10+'s. Been a while since Samsung used a plastic back panel on their flagship line.
I think it just feels like plastic and whatever is inside is making it sound like plastic if you tap it.
I think it is very simple: people confuse matte glass with plastic; I can assure you Samsung is not lying when saying Gorilla Glass Victus+ for back also
SMH, just throw it against the floor and you will see it's glass.

It actually cool it's textured glass. That's an improvement but it's not a ruggedized phone and needs a case. So in the end it doesn't matter.
My 3 yo N10+'s have better form factor; 7 mm thickness with spen on the right side. And in the bloody sim card tray is a SD card slot.
Samsung is looking as goofy as Korean graffiti lately... idiots.
Are you guys being serious at all? It's CLEARLY matte glass.
