Hi all, anyone know which gorilla Glass version on the mate 10 and mate 10 pro ?
On the Cornering website, I'm surprised the P9 and Mate 9 used old Gorilla Glass 3...
I see the P10 used the Gorilla Glass 5 but for the mate 10 nothing...
Maybe an old version like Gorilla Glass 3 or 4?
Good question. I know the Mate 9 was a generation behind, but they also sold it at a more budget friendly price.
Honestly, for the price these devices are going for ($800-$1200) they should be using Sapphire glass.
all the reviewers said it is gorilla glass 5 from both sides
Why GG3 on the front and GG5 on the back?
I was wondering that question too, so I've asked to Corning and this is the reply GG 5 on the back GG 3 on the front:

This device has Gorilla® Glass 3 on the front and Gorilla® Glass 5 on the back of the device. If you would like to learn more about the features and benefits of Gorilla Glass, you can visit our website at www.CorningGorillaGlass.com.

The Gorilla Glass Team?
I don't know why the back has better protection than the front. What are your opinion?
That doesn't really make sense since the P10 had GG5.
The Mate 10 is on the full list.

Its clear, front glass which also there is a touch screen has GG5, so impotant thing that touch screen should be covered more carefully. It makes sense.

Corning says just the opposite, GG5 is on the back, that is what surprised me!!

Then there are three possible scenarios:
1) Huawei made a mistake in choosing GG,
2) Gorilla Glass team send a e-mail with misspelling/incorrect information,
3) The end of the world is coming...

According to the HTC Technical Support, yes, it is Gorilla Glass...
But whether it is Gorilla Glass or not, it is NOT scratch proof. Put on a screen protector before it is too late. No display is scratch proof yet.
Yes it does have gorilla glass on it.
I have a DVP with gorilla glass and the radar. I tell you that the radar has no gorilla glass.
I have a small scratch on my screen Tiny one, but some how I manage to made it
Corning Gorilla Glass is a requirement for all Windows Phones. Although as stated above, nothing is scratch proof...
Corning Gorilla Glass is NOT a requirement.

i don't think so!
It does have gorilla glass.
my Mozart has Gorrilla glass, doesn't mean it doesn't scratch. Just because someone has tested gorrilla glass ona random model and it didn't scratch doesn't mean yours wont.
Unfortunately not all Gorrilla glass is made equal, usually their 'show off' glass it much stronger. It took almost nothing for me to scratch my phone, I second whoelsec in saying put a screen protector on before it's too late!
Oh god better find a screen protector fast

That's just really sad...
It makes sense because it's more shatter resistant but more soft. Screen protector it is...

I just ordered some screen protectors. I planned on going naked but screw that! I'm very disappointed to see how easily it scratches. I swore I read something that GG said the scratch resistance was the same as GG 4. REALLY messed up!
Ever since I saw the Nexus 6P bend test from the same person, I've been very hesitant to trust him.

Nexus 6P is nowhere near as flimsy as he made it appear - a lot of people were very doubtful.
Also, with this one, how was the IMEI sticker removed already yet all the plastic was still on the phone? You even saw the residue where the sticker was!
(and no, don't use the "he put all the plastic back on the phone" excuse. No way would you get it back on that perfect).
Yeah, I'm skeptical, but that's my own opinion. I also don't put a lot of faith into drop tests, as each case is different. I've also been one to take very good care of my phones, and don't generally use screen protectors. No real scratches either!

And the 6P did not bend? My bent after some weeks of normal use
Looks like i will have to use a full body skin.
Honestly, I'm pretty sure Samsung did this on purpose.
The conclusion seems to be:
Gorilla Glass 4 - More scratch resistant, less shatter resistant
Gorilla Glass 5 - More shatter resistant, less scratch resistant
This makes me feel that Samsung chose Gorilla Glass on purpose due to their intentions of reintroducing the Edge screen to the Note series.
I'm sure everyone has seen the Tempered Glass Screen Protectors made for Edge screens and the truth is... they're not effective at all as compared to their flat counterparts.
I'm not sure about others, but regular film screen protectors are already highly effective in blocking scratches and they're cheap to replace.
On the other hand, the main reason to get a glass screen protector is to protect against shattering which film protectors aren't effective against.
Which makes me think...
The Note7 has an edge screen which makes it very difficult to have a glass screen protector as protection, yet regular film protectors are still possible.
So, the switch to the more shatter resistant gorilla glass 5 is to make up for the inability to use tempered glass screen protectors and gives us the opportunity to use film screen protectors as a scratch resistance alternative.
Well, that's my theory at least. Might be complete BS, but it doesn't seem that bad to me.
At least, for a device that can't use tempered glass screen protectors, I would want the glass to be more shatter resistant rather than scratch resistant since film does a good job at guarding against scratches.
If a good tempered glass screen protector was available, then I would probably still want Gorilla Glass 5 since glass screen protectors is also extremely effective against scratches.
But if I was to use my phone naked... I'm honestly not sure which I'll want more. Let's hope Gorilla Glass 6 is both scratch and shatter resistant.
Naked... this is just BS, in real life how can u scratch it if you use a case? and don't put it with your keys...

The biggest cause of scratches is not keys or scissors or razor blades.
It's the simple elements of our earth that do the damage, namely Sand and Grit.
It only takes a particle of sand or grit to come into contact with the screen, add the element of friction and that causes the vast majority of all scratches.
No matter how this is spun, poorer scratch resistance is not good especially considering this is a device designed to have constant friction on its surface with the stylus.

A little tin foil hat, isn't it? GG5 is Corning's latest and greatest and by next year it'll be on all flagships and pseudo-flagships. Some scratch resistance was traded for some shatter resistance. Good or bad that's what we've got. Samsung's selling an official screen protector which might be telling us something. I ordered two sets of two.

Yeah, I believe it was the first time that they have released an official screen protector. So they already know.

Flexibility (shatter resistance) and hardness (scratch resistance) are mutually exclusive. Maybe some kind of formulation of glass or a different material at some point will help, but honestly I don't think a solution to both of these issues at the same time will come any time soon.
I have never shattered a phone screen and I use minimal cases to protect against scratching. I have had a bad drop or two over the years, but the phone has always survived. I'd take scratch resistance any day of the week.
Film protectors suck ass. They offer no oleophobic properties, gunk up, and feel like **** compared to glass. I will never use of these. I even dislike glass protectors, because if you get a single spec of dirt under them during application or misalign it, might as well throw it in the trash if you have OCD because you're never going to get over it. Plus you add another layer between you and the pixels which is never good for image quality sake. Samsung did a great job with this display and the glass in front of it (e.g. lowest reflectance ever). Putting some cheap ass protector over it, even glass, will be detrimental. Also, good luck finding a decent glass protector that works with the curves. Samsung is probably going to be the absolute best option, so I would skip everything else and just buy that and pray you get the install perfect because knowing Samsung it won't be cheap.

EXACTLY. If you shove this in your front pocket with keys and the rest or in a purse with a bunch of crap then I don't feel sorry. I've never scratched a screen, shattered a screen or any of the crap I see. Maybe I'm too AR to let this happen. IDK.
I really hate screen protectors! Although I haven't tried tempered type. To me they degrade viewing . Really irks me that you pay a premium to get a great screen that easily scratches and takes away from the experience .
I'm still gonna try it out, but may be my last samsung if that becomes the new norm.
Having owned the Note 1, Note 2, Galaxy S4 (terrible), I moved to Nexus/Apple and did not want to buy Samsung ever again. I went against myself and pre-ordered the Note 7 thinking maybe this would be a perfect phone for an old man. This video made me cancel the pre-order, I will wait for the next Nexus or iPhone.
Is phone has protective glass or any type of gorilla glass thank you ?

Unfortunately, the Honor 5X does not have Gorilla glass. It comes with a fully laminated screen to help protect against scratches and minor wear and tear.

it does not have gorilla glass, bt still offers the same protection as gorilla
If you're afraid about protection, you can buy a tempered glass
While it does come with a screen protector, I found this really decreased the display quality and removed it.
Unfortunately, Honor has opted to use a unbranded screen material for the phone, which you really can't call it anything besides it being really called just "OGS" or One Glass Solution. But, the screen is just as good as branded materials like Gorilla Glass 3 and such, hence from test that videos have shown (JerryRigEvery's durability test on the Honor 5X)

i just watched the durability video of bonor 5x in that channel(jerryRig) seems like honor 5x has a durable glass which is on par with other devices.
I am waiting for him to do the test on honor 8
considering the reports of easy scratching glass on the honor 8, it wont probably survive the scratch test
Level 5 at max
maybe back side will get scratched at level 3or 4
Hi there,
i found conflicting statements about the existing of screen protection. Some say it has Gorilla Glas same say it has not.
So whats the deal ? How sensitive is the screen of the Le Max 2 ? Any tempered glass screen protector necessary ?
Real world experience would be nice.
I will not give you advice since I always use tempered glass and even none of the cheapest

i never used tempered glass on my phones with Gorilla Glas protection.... was absolutely not necessary.
Thats the reason i asked
There is no official info on that... I couldn't take a risk so i put a tempered glass on.
Sent from my Le X820 using Tapatalk
the price of this phone is really attractive but there are some points that disturb me ... missing gorilla glas is one of them.
Lack of custom roms is also one point ....
I was about 10 days without screen protection. No scratches or so, but i couldn't take a risk.
You have EUI based roms, i really don't like them and you have CM based roms... I use Mokee official and i am super satisfied.

I think it's gorilla glass or dragontrail. I don't use a screen protector and it hasn't scratched at all. And it has that slightly plastic feel of gorilla glass rather than the cold hardness of pure unprotected glass.

Think I've had this phone about two months now. I used a tempered glass for a week or so, but it cracked on the corner so I took it off.
Thanks for letting me know about this, I do hate using screen protectors on my cellphone, I rather like using my le max 2 without anything on the screen, it feels better.
I will tell you how it is going after a week or two.

Please report this to GSMArena. So people don't get confused anymore.
The screen of my leeco le max 2 is just amazing, I dropped it from 2 mts (by mistake of course) and the screen directly crashed the floor with the screen, and result without any scratch and the screen wasn't even cracked, I have had it since 15 days ago without any kind of protection (case nor screen protector) and it's like new, whether the screen is gorila glass or not it is actually really resistant
I have used my phone for 2 weeks, and I don't know how or why, it has a line on the screen, I mean not in the software screen, in the hardware itself like if it was damaged with something... Can this happen with Gorilla Glass?
Does the phone comes with corning gorilla glass as a display protection. Because I was considered to buy this phone but I'm afraid that it doesn't come with any display protection. I looked up on GSMarena and samsung's official website but they have no information on it eventhough some several websites claim that the phone comes with gorilla glass (like kimovil). Please enlighten me, thank you
