By the way, I just changed the back camera plateau film to matte to see how it looks.

Oh my goodness! The matte version is much better!

Note: If you can’t pull out the existing one, pull it from the top camera side part.

Now, I can answer your question. The matte version looks much better.

Yes, but the photo might not be obvious. 😅
It’s a bit too shiny, which doesn’t match the original look. Also, it’s a bit yellowish, which affects the actual color.
Thanks for the tip for removing the film from top camera side! thumbsup.gif It's definitely much easier. I was struggling past 2 days to remove the transparent film.

I totally agree, the matte version is a better match with the original phone's alloy surface.
The clear/transparent version is too shiny and fingerprints/smudges are more visible.
I'm very happy with the matte film now.

Me also, I even tried using a hair dryer, but I was worried that it would cause the color to fade or not after seen some colors change case recently. So, I stopped using it. Then, I realized that it was much easier to remove the from the camera part top left. 😀

Yes, seen suggestions online to use hairdryer, isopropyl alcohol 99% and floss lol but afraid may damage the phone's surface. Glad I saw your recommendation.

Can't wait to switch to matte since you and Andrewtst highly recommended it..

Also kudos for the tips for easier removal...so just start removing from top left of the film by the 3 camera lenses right?

A tip for u guys, next time take the film and slot it into the USB-C cable head with the sticky part facing outwards. Then gently guide it into your phone's port. Voila! No more wastage.
