Hi,
Does anyone know if the RAZR HD has laminated display tech like the sgs3 or htc one x?
I don't exactly know what you mean by laminated. It has a corning gorilla glass over the screen. The panel it self is pentile type 1280x720 resolution 4.7in and 312 pixel density. Its similar to the galaxy siii just slightly smaller and slightly more pixel density.
laminated display technology refers the amount of layers there are in the display
to greatly simplify things
there are 3 layers to a touch screen display
top layer = protective glass/plastic - usually the gorilla glass or whatever equivalent material
middle layer = touch sensitive layer - has all the tech for the capacitive touch sensing etc
lower layer = display itself, whether it be LED or LCD
All those layers make for something rather thick, and the display being at the bottom means that your viewing angles arent great because the display is buried under a few layers.
newer screen tech integrates the touch sensitive layer into either the protective glass layer, or the actual display itself. along with gorilla glass 2 which is ~half the thickness of original gorilla glass, you get a much thinner display, with the display layer being much closer to the top - resulting in much better viewing angles and the appearance that the displayed content is 'printed' on the surface.
there is other stuff here to do with air gaps between layers, and diffraction being reduced by filling air gaps with translucent resin etc, but this is my simple understanding and explanation of laminated screen tech.
now ... does the razr HD have this?

They make the best protectors, but this time, they messed up. With the cutting of curse, not the quality. they cut the top right corner completely off, instead of just a camera hole. this will make it visible, especially under sunlight where the reflection of the top right corner is completely different. I now bought a 3M vikuiti, which is supposed to have no hole at all for the top right camera. 3M also includes a protector for the keys below, making the top and the bottom look the same unlike brando.
I am also not so happy with the brando protector. But more with the quality of it. The brando messes the sharpness of the TD. With the original protector the screen looks sharp, but the brando one has a non fingerprint feature on it which messes up the sharpness of the screen.
Hello,
I prefer black faced phones, but recently received an almost new white Moto X pure (XT1575) as a gift. An exchange is not viable, as there is no receipt (and it was used a few hours for compatibility testing).
I've seen colored (non-display face area) glass screen protectors for other phones, and thought it would be a great option to turn the face black/darker, but haven't been able to find any for the Moto X pure. Do any such products exist?
I don't know any of those "colored glass screen protectors", but you can use skins from the following companies (might have more, but i only know these):
DBrand
Slickwraps
Stickerboy
Skinomi
If those skin makers don't have you covered get used to white I tried nearly all screen protectors trying to find one that did not halo and none had colored parts. Also pleson is the one I got that stuck to my phone without much of a halo...
The only glass screen protector for this phone like that is from Tranesca which you can find on Amazon. However it will not cover the white face completely (which is obvious when you see the pictures). They have white and black colors but are designed to help the screen protector "blend" and be less noticeable. Another strange caveat: it is a floating glass with the adhering part bring the areas where the white or black is.
I personally use the black one on a black face and it works OK.
Not worth the hassle, but if you must...

This. It's the closest thing to what you're looking for, but it doesn't cover the I/O area at the top of the face of the device, so it'll still obviously be a white phone. Also, the transparent areas for the proximity sensors on the bottom will probably look a little odd too.
That said, I tried the Trancesca screen protector, but ultimately wasn't happy with it because the mask actually cuts off the far edges of the screen, so you may have to turn the phone to see text that is too close to the edge. Also, it just doesn't feel as good as a conventional glass protector that adheres fully to the screen. Tapping one's thumb against it, it just feels plasticky and unsatisfying. For that reason, I've given up on tempered glass protectors altogether for this phone and am completely happy except for the fact that the TPU I'm using has a massive lip that is no longer compensated for. Still, the viewing angles gained are worth the compromise. Just don't scratch your screen.

Thank you for elaborating on this. It took some getting used to this screen protector because of the kind of plastic feel you describe. The blocking of text is pretty rare for me so I just deal with it since I prefer to have my screen protected from scratches. I live near beaches and with sand being common place, it is worth the little bit of hassle. All glass screen protectors I have owned have scratched, but none of my devices' screens have any. The only other glass options either leave noticeable halos or are just shy of the edge of the viewable screen (which leaves a noticeable line in field of vision), which to me are both annoying as I consistently notice them.
What's the point of buying a tempered glass screen protector for the G5 when it already comes with Gorilla Glass? That wouldn't be considered overkill?
I figured the a simple plastic one would do the trick, just for fingerprints, smudging, etc.
Anyone have any recommendations on a screen protector brand? I've been reading some reviews about how some.of the protectors do t account for the G5's curved screen.
Thanks.
It does seem redundant, but Gorilla Glass is not 100% scratch and crack proof. A glass screen protector is a small price to pay (literally) for added protection versus replacing the screen itself. I prefer the smoother feel of glass over plastic, so I go with glass.
The G5's curved screen at the top isn't the issue. The screen is not truly flat in all areas. On my G5 there is a gap between the screen and glass protector on the following areas: center-top (near ear piece), both bottom corners. This is well documented in the G5 screen protector thread. A plastic screen protector flexes enough to hide these gaps.

Is "G5 screen protector" the name of the thread?
Are those gaps annoying? So the plastic ones hide the gaps, eh? Is that the one you're using, but even though it's hidden you're still aware of it's presence? Do you have a recommendation on a good one that isn't too expensive?
The case I bought kinda sucks. The volume down button is incorrectly placed and seems like it just missed the down press.. it basically just increases the volume. Any suggestion on a slim profile case that lines up with all the buttons correctly? I think I might just go with one of the LG ones; I assume their own cases would line up perfectly.
Probably this will be odd question. All the borderless screen protectors glasses for mi a2 are smaller than the same one but with borders. Does anyone know/find borderless glass from other smartphones that by size as the one with borders ?
Sliding my finger on the display feels a bit weird and I was wondering whether this might be because of the stock screen protector?
Has anyone remove the screen protector and does it change the tactile and visual quality of the display in any way?
As far as I remember when I was using the default screen protector I had no problem at all. In fact I never had problem in touch response or display quality with any of the different screen protectors I used. I used the original one and 3 or 4 different brands so far.
I just wish add that the factory provided screen "protector" hardly provides any protection. It is extremely thin and even a single grain of sand can cut deep enough to scratch the screen underneath.
Second, there is no difference with or without the protector in terms of display quality or touch.
Third, I currently use a third party protector and am not facing any touch issues.
