Does it have Gorilla glass or other screen protection?
Nope. None.
Tempered glass is a good choice for this one, because the frame sticks out a bit, and the tempered glass gives it a tad of a 2.5D feel.
Also, with reports of the screen being too sensitive, tempered glass might help with that a bit.

Which is better for a screen protector? tempered glass or film screen protector. I think the Tempered glass is more better since it would better protect the screen from scratches and excessive pressure but i don't know if it would also protect the screen from small dust and sands , since i don't use a tempered glass yet and thinking on getting one, i don't know is there is space between the screen and the Tglass for dust and sands to enter. Anyone here using a tglass protector? does it have any enter points for dust and sand to enter?
Plenty of reviews in the accessories thread, not many favorable things said about tempered glass ones though
My OnePlus X seems to have micro scratches on the back but not on the front glass...
So do you know if there is also a gorilla protection on the back glass ? Or only on the front glass ?
I don't see why they would want to put gorilla glass on the back. So no, gorilla glass is only on the front.
I was thinking that the back glass and the front glass were the same, because they have the same dimension and the same form factor (I don't know if my english is perfect... I'm french )
But if we can have confirmation... I'm worry because I don't want scratches on the front glass...
You should protect both.
Have a look to the pics here :

Even with protections... If the phone suffered a big fall...
But with a normal use, Gorilla glass 3 seem to be resistant to scratches no ? (not from keys or some stuff in pockets)
If you have some information about that and about the fact that only the front is protected by Gorilla glass 3, feel free to answer
From what I've found on the web Gorilla Glass 3 hardness in Mohs scale is 6.8, so it's just below quartz hardness which is 7. It means that sand grains which are mostly quartz will scratch your screen, so I'd suggest you to buy tempered glass screen protector.
Most good tempered glass screen protectors hardness is 8 (Nillkin glass is 9) and the higher the better. From my experience 9H glass is really hard to scratch. I tried scratching it with carpenters knife which is razor sharp and couldn't leave any marks on it. I even rubbed on it with sand paper and actually it's easier to break it or chip it off than leave some scratches.
As far as it goes for back cover I really doubt it's anything more than just a smoked hardened glass that is going to have much lower scratch resistance than the front, which means that most of hard items that you'll put in your pocket will probably scratch it and to prevent that you need to protect it with a case or some kind of skin (if there are going to be any).
For now if you don't want to put your phone in a case but want to protect both front and back from scratches then you may buy Nillkin set which comes with 9H glass for screen and plastic good quality transparent sticker for back cover (even includes a protective sticker for your camera lens if I got it right).
You have to remember though that glass protector doesn't protect whole front, since it doesn't cover curved parts of the front panel.
Perfect answer, thank you for the advices !
Hi guys,
I just bought to me Huawei P10. I would like to ask, does the the phone come already with a screen protection? If yes what kind of glass is that?
After removing the plastic protection i noticed that there is a small glass or protection (very thin but is there) on the top of the screen. After applying a tempered glass on the top of it, because it is slightly bigger than that protection, there is a bubble of air all around the borders of the tempered glass.
So can anyone tell me what kind of glass is that that comes with the phone? It is easy to take it off? Should i substitute it by a tempered glass?
Thank you very much for your help.
Best Regards
It has Corning Gorilla 5 but no oleophobic coating under the factory preinstalled film, which is easily scratched. I have already removed mine and using this glass https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75089574&postcount=32 it is not a full screen but it is not too big and aplies well with no gaps.
Are people really removing that "Corning Gorilla 5" glass and replacing for a different one? Is not good enough? or is one of those debatable things?
Apparently now i have two tempered classes on the top of my screen.
I bought this one:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0759FWFTK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Should i use the "Corning Gorilla 5" that come with the phone, or the one I bought is better?
Or should i buy a better one like the one suggested by ylapas: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75089574&postcount=32
Thank you again.
I dont see how you can remove the Corning Gorilla 5 screen and use a glass screen protector on it. you have to have the screen on to put on the protector.
What if you were to put you own advesive in the center on the glass screen protector so it would adhere and have better touch sensitivity.
What type of adhesive would you need?
Is there a machine needed for this?

Got the whitestone dome tempered glass on mine. Perfect.
