Hey guys
Does HTC Titan have a gorilla glass ? Because I googl'd and found mixed results
It's confirmed from GG's site.
However,I was reading a review which said it has GG display
http://www.unwiredview.com/2011/11/09/htc-titan-review/
"Under the Gorilla Glass is a 4.7-inch Super LCD display. This is the largest screen on any Windows Phone device on the market. "
So can any of you guys who own this phone confirm whether it has GG or not ?
Don't think so.. If i'm wrong, then Gorilla Glass isn't very good! I have some scratches on my screen just after 1.5 month of use.. My old HD2 hasn't a single one and I've been using that for 2 years..
no gorilla glass
imho unwiredview is pretty unreliable on quite a few bits of news...
I'm sure its tempered glass

Doensn't have Titan on the list, but the HD7. and my HD7 has 2 deep scratch somehow after 2 months of use... so???
Well,I wish this screen had some kinda protection :-S
Strike_Eagle ,you mentioned that it has GG(in your review on this site)

"I would say it is good. Not the best but it is good-perfect.
It is Gorilla Glass. "
Honestly,I don't care much about GG,I just want it to be something that doesn't scratch
I emailed HTC about this, and they confirmed that it does not have gorilla glass.
I understand you would like to know if the HTC Titan uses Gorilla Glass, and I will be happy to discuss this with you. In our commitment to quality, HTC pioneered the use of shatter-proof glass in smartphones. At one time, Corning was the only manufacturer and we used their product, Gorilla Glass. Since then, many manufactures have developed and advanced shatter-proof glass technology, allowing HTC to use the highest quality cutting edge shatterproof glass in our smartphones while keeping costs low for our customers. Unfortunately, we would not be able to advise as to which specific manufacturer or product was used for the screen in your particular Titan. Rest assured, however, that it's screen is made of shatter-proof glass.

hmm,so it's not gorilla glass but shatter proof instead ?
Are they kinda advertising or is it really shatter proof ?
Makes you go hmmm?
I'll still slap a screen protector on it to help anyway. I had the Zagg on my Focus, and it worked good for me. I ordered it today for half-off cyber Monday deal.
When i had my TP2, i installed a screen protector on it but when i got an iPhone 4,i didn't put anything on it and after a year of usage, it doesn't have any scratch whatsoever.(And it wasnt gorilla glass either) so if the Titan's screen is as scratchless as iPhone's then I wont even bother getting a screen protector.
Anyway,here's what slashgear reports(in their Titan's review)
"Titan is one of the company’s most cohesive, solid handsets of the past year. The matte-finish black metal casing and bevelled toughened Gorilla Glass fascia come together beautifully, and the various logos and branding are discrete and thankfully chrome-free."
MY comment at the other thread is based on several review article online, because there isn't a way for me to test it.
But if HD7 has Gorilla Glass, then the quality of GG is super low.
my HD7 catched up very few light scartch after only 2 days of using...
If you look at the Gorilla glass website, it lists the Surround as having it, but not others. I have the surround, and it does feel like gorilla glass. And i received a reply from htc regarding the scratch resistance of the new glass they are using instead of the gorilla glass.
The glass we currently use is comparable to Gorilla Glass in regards to scratch resistance and shatter resistance. Unfortunately, we do not have any specifics about the glass and all we know is that it is comparable to Gorilla Glass in its features. I do apologize that I cannot give you more information about this, but I do hope this was helpful.

I would just like to state this: HTC said themselves that the HTC Titan DOES NOT use gorilla glass.
Ok now I've never had a gorilla glass as mostly AMOLED is what I used - hence no gorilla there.
This is my first capacitive non-AMOLED i.e. capacitive LCD (here S-LCD)... I am sure we are not losing anything with absence of the 'gorilla'. The screen feels much scratch resistant unless you knife it! I've dropped my phone 3 times on the road and pavement - no scratch on the screen. A little scratch near the back-bottom (invisible).

Thanks,seems like a great screen then
Scratches?
Whether it's GG or not, sounds like at least 1 Titan owner already has some scratches. Which is too bad. I have the Zagg Invisible Shield on my Focus, and I just hate putting any screen cover over the beautiful glass. Plus I'm on my second Zagg already, and even the second one is peeling up around the edge. Just got my Titan, still in its box. I may go naked for a while.

DId they (Zagg) ship your order? I too ordered their InvisibleSheild on cybermonday sale, but they never shipped it (even after a week). I ended up asking for a refund (via Paypal). Now I asked my local mall Zagg guy (no way related Zagg itself, but he sells their product) to get the sheilds. Good thing is he will process any replacements too. With Zagg.com you will need pay them full price, and get a replacement after you return old one. You will lose the shipping cost bothways.
"gorilla glass" is a product not a type of glass
I have a TITAN and the screen is pretty solid, so scratches after weeks and feels very hardened.
I'm pretty sure HTC is making the same thing on their own instead of purchasing from corning, but for legal reasons they cannot refer to it as "gorilla glass" because corning has a copyright on it. Question is who has the patent to the hardening process or not. Otherwise anybody is free to make glass this way, they just can't call it GG.
So for all intents and purposes I would say it has GG, but it's HTC's knock off version not the corning version. I could be wrong...

They're in Taiwan. It's almost certainly some cheap Chinese, er Taiwanese knock-off of Gorilla Glass. Close but not quite as good. I'm still going to put a Zagg over my Titan to be safe. I actually got the easy install full body so maybe I won't be as inclined to drop it in the first place.
I'm biased towards zagg products so take this with a grain of salt.
I have had the titan since it came after the penny sale. I applied the zagg shield yesterday. When cleaning my screen, I noticed there was a micro-scratch! Invisible except for in a certain light and with the screen off, but scratched my my short time with it nonetheless.
I love zagg's invisible shield, and I think it will confer a few extra benefits for the titan:
1. The full body shield improves grip; less slippery, more secure in my hand. I know this was a concern for me, especially when trying to reach the back button using one hand.
2. I haven't had any issues personally with reception, but the full body shield prevents direct hand contact and thus should alleviate grip-of-death.
In general, the shield does an excellent job in protecting the phone. One of my issues with straight up glass is if my fingers contain any moisture whatsoever, unless my fingers are perfectly dry, I cannot smoothing swipe across the screen. Moisture increases the coefficient of friction on glass, and any greases or oils are clearly visible on glass. Oils/greases aren't as readily visible on the invisible shield as it is on just glass, and I find that I can just grease up my screen by rubbing it a little bit for a smoother experience.
Yes, the invisible shield does show signs of wear after perhaps 6months to a year of use, but with their lifetime warranty you can get a new set for a few dollars in shipping (Provided you mail back the original shield, via regular envelope even, no special packaging).
I would suggest using wrapsol screen and body shield. You don't get the orange peel effect that the zagg invisible shield gives you. I used the wrapsol screen protector on my surround since the day I got it over a year ago. It has not peeled up or scratched looks as good as the day I bought it.
Many websites had said that Radar has gorilla glass.
But what do u, radar users, have to say?

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!
Any information on what the screen is made of? I usually don't use any
screen protection so it could be nice to know what to expect when it comes
to scratches.

Alright now I am going to buy the Mega 6.3. But the question is the screen protection. Does it occupied with the gorilla glass/oleophobic coating or any other scratch resistant material. I want to know because I have always used phones that had either gorilla glass or gorilla glass+oleophobic coating. Its important !! The people who are already using it can answer this question. A little help is appreciated. Thanks.!

The Mega uses tempered glass which is resistant to scratches and minor falls. This is not different from Gorilla glass as they both still break and get scratched no matter what the manufacturer say. It depends on the surface the phone fell on, the position of the phone when it fell, and the luck of the user. I don't think the Mega has oleophobic coating but you can get screen protectors that have this coating.
My Mega came with oleophobic coating.
It does not mean it is resistant to grease but you can wipe it off easily. This effect wears off with use.
Maybe someone can explain me diffrence between scratch resistant which has m4 aqua and corning gorilla glass and which is better?
'Corning Gorilla Glass' is a trademarked type of screen glass
'Scratch Resistant' is a generic term.
Basically, 'Corning Gorilla Glass' is like saying 'Hoover' or 'Dyson' and 'Scratch Resistant' is like saying 'Vacuum Cleaner'.
They will both have similar features but aren't necessarily the same features. You can't really say one is better than the other as it depends on how well you look after it.
The screen glass seems to be fine on my M4 without a case so far, but my Nexus 5 had Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and had massive scratches on it after a few weeks.
I can´t confirm that. My M4 Aqua has after 4 Month of normal use some small scratches, so i think the Gorilla Glas (especially Gorilla Glas 3 and above) is much better than this what M4 Aqua have on the Display.
I have the 2303
if i remember correctly, in a topic in sonymobile forums, one of the support staff answered to this question : (Many sony phones have this generic term)
He said that scratch resistant glass means that they used one of the corning glass products(corning glass, 2,3 ,...) or dragon trail glass.
it depends on many factors like phone model, target market , ...etc.
I had a xperia E3 which had shaterproof glass meaning there were scratches but it did not shatter when dropped . after that I had a xperia SP with scratch resistant glass which had no scratches at all but it shattered when I dropped it. Same happened yesterday with the M4
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.
