Hi there.
I've got the problem that I have to decide between two devices. P9 or H8.
The H8 looks, imo, better and feels better. A bit thicker and heavier. That's what I like, until now I use the one M8, there I know what I've got in my hands
The biggest deal breaker so far is the back side. Made of Glas. I hate this kind of coolness, that seems to be more important than durability.
Additional there is in Germany no warranty for the first months to get front or back replaced if broken.
So what's your experience with the phone? Already dropped it out of hand or pocket? Perhaps landing on back or front? Did it survive everything so far, or was a side broken?
Next point is the price, honor 8 399€, P9 519€....
If it would have a metal back.....
I'm looking forward for your answers!
Greetings
Patrick
You can read something from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/screen-strong-t3456686 it gets scratched easilly with micro scratches (As EVERY device with back glass. I know this because i had the xperia Z1 and my friend has S6 edge which got scratched too) and I guess as long as you get a case and dont drop it you should be fine.

Thanks for the link.
Well that means that I will call my market and NOT take it. They shall sell it someone else.
A case and a tempered glass is not the problem.
But a crack from a minor drop, and easy scratches and so on, not thank you. That's not worth a saving of 120 euro....
Damned.
..
Well if you dont have both hands left you wont drop it. That's up to you but i also prefer to buy phones in classic shops instead of dealing with sending my phone for repair through mail (in case of RMA). This is why i bought Honor 8 instead of OP3.
It's not just because of my left hands
I also got a child with 1,5 years. And believe me, somehow she always gets her hand on my phone. And yes, I am sometimes a little bit left handed. My M8 fell down several times, always in a case, but never something (noticeable) happened. But it's getting sooooo slow, I need to make factory reset at least once a month to get a smooth phone back. That's annoying. And that's the point why I need a new one. Or want a new one. Depends on the point of view
And after I know that I definitely WILL let it fall down sometimes.... I go for some phone without a glass back. Seems to me a bit better for my money
And yes, I ordered the last phones on Amazon. But we hate each other now, so I will buy it at a store, or a bit cheaper at O2. But never ever again Amazon for electric stuff.
But I leave the point of this thread.
The glass seems to be ok, as long as you use a foil on the front and a case and never let it fall down.
Point one and two ist fine. Point three impossible. So I have to choose something else... Really a bit bad, cause I like the optic....
Point to add to this...
I've had my Honor 8 for a few weeks. I've never dropped it or set it face down. I don't put it in a pocket with anything else.
I've got a LOT of scratches on the face already. It's really disappointing. I looked online and to get a tempered screen protector (which looks like garbage because they don't cover the whole screen) I'd have to wait until mid October. I'm sure the screen will be in horrible shape by then.
I love the phone but they cheaped out on an important part.

Did you check out Amazon for screen protectors? I found a few on there BUT the best one in my opinion is the Skinomi FULL BODY wrap. I'm getting that one plus a clear case and that should protect it to a certain degree. I've used the Skinomi full body wraps on my HTC's and they work great at protecting from minor drops and scratches....
Good luck!!

Yeah the ones on amazon ship to me in October, no earlier. I'm pretty disappointed because I don't use cases or screen protectors on my phones, but my Nexus 5X was fine for 8 months so far with no scratches. I've had this one less than a month and it's starting to get bad.
I've been reading all the reviews of the Honor View 10 that I can find and, unfortunately, all reviewers are indicating that Huawei has not used Gorilla Glass on it's most expensive Honor model. This doesn't make sense and is a very big CON against buying the phone for me. So far, most reviewers aren't saying anything nice about low light photography. Looks like the Leica lenses on the Mate 10 Pro may boost that phone's good low light camera performance, not NPU.
no, it does not have it,Honor has its own scratch-resistant glass.

Has Huawei started using Soda Lime glass with the Honor View 10 and 7X? Comparing Huawei Honor specs on recent Honor phones (8, 9, 7, 6x, 5) the company specified that Gorilla Glass was used. https://www.gsmarena.com/huawei-phones-58.php
My understanding is that Gorilla Glass, also known as AAS glass, is more porous and that its hardening process goes deeper, making it more resistent to scratches. This is a step backwards in build quality, IMHO.
Well, this is disappointing news. I know some sacrifices have to be made for the price point but this shouldn't have been one to the extent of no Gorilla Glass. They could have used an older version.
I read in Gsm arena Page the 7x use Gorilla Glass older Version.

I'm not so certain the 7x uses Gorilla Glass, there's no mention of it as a feature on Amazon's US website and one of the phone feature sites I was looking at only rated the screen's hardness at Mohns 4--Gorilla Glass is rated at 6.5.

The response Huawei provided doesn't give any indication of protection without a Mohns or Vicks hardness rating. There are many companies marketing glass for screens based on aluminosilicate glass (Gorilla Glass is aluminosilicate glass). The real issue is chemical composition since they all must vary to avoid patent infringement.
I do not care so much I watch my cell phones and use a foil
Well, correct me if I am wrong!
Gorilla Glass is the "trademark" name given by Corning company. Same like people mistakenly use Xerox for Photocopy. isn't it?
Hence, it's useless to argue if Honor is using Gorilla or any other trademarked glass. What matters is the screen type.

As per this post, Honor is using Alluminocsilicate glass which indeed what Gorilla Glass is made up of. So I guess this helps!

Yes that's completely right.
Both GG and asahi (jap brand) are using the same type of glass.. There should be barely, if at all, any difference between the two in terms of hardness (scratch resistance)..
Here's some more info (thread is from 2016 but should still be relevant).

It has The AI2O3 content of alkali aluminosilicate glasses is typically 10-25% and the alkali content over 10%. The high alkali content prepares the glass for ion exchange with bigger alkali ions in order to improve the surface compressive strengt

Well, now I see why they are silent about the screen. There's a huge difference in the manufacturing process employed by Corning for Gorilla Glass and Asahai for its Dragontail Glass and Corning's process makes Gorilla Glass more than scratch resistant but improves drop performance, too, acheiving a higher Vicks hardness rating than Asahai's Dragonglass. Corning uses an ion exchange method; Ashai uses a float method. http://www.differencebetween.info/difference-between-gorilla-glass-and-dragontrail-glass

It'd be easier to see the difference if someone like Zack (jerryrigeverthing) takes a go at it..
I've seen posts where they talk about the hardness in mohs scale where both gg and dt are between 6-7.. In JRE vids, most phones with GG start to scratch at 6 and have deeper scratches at 7 using his mohs pick..
I'm not sure what sources they've used to get the hardness in mohs though so I didn't link those posts..

Mohs was developed in the 19th century and can only be used to test minerals because it relies on using minerals known to be stronger to scratch a weaker one; Mohs can't be used for metals. https://www.gordonengland.co.uk/hardness/mohs.htm In a Vicks or "Vickers" test, a diamond (pyramid-shaped) mounted in a block is pressed in to the object being tested at 1-100 kgf for 10-15 seconds. https://www.gordonengland.co.uk/hardness/vickers.htm The Vicks test is preferred by many materials engineers.
I think it does well: https://youtu.be/W3yGYkz9iyI
I never plan on abusing it like that, but in case you're wondering it's quite tough!
Rate this thread to express how you think the Samsung Galaxy S9+ feels in terms of quality. A higher rating indicates that it feels premium and high-quality (attention to detail is high, manufacturing defects don't exist, etc).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Very solid and heavy feeling. Not cheap at all.
Came from s7 edge which really good build quality wise. But this feels even better... Eavy, sturdy, good quality overall. I feel that if I drop it it will survive well..
Definitely an upgrade from the S8 Plus.
Very fluid and the camera...... wow.

The quality of S9 plus is good. It feels premium.
My S9+ feels great as well, except the fact that the metal frame is a bit edgy when I glide my finger to the end of the glass. Doesn't have that feel like the S8 where the glass and the metal frame feel as one.
Definitely notice improvement in the build quality, hard to explain but feels more solid. Also speed wise I notice it is snappier as well. Upgrade from s8 to s9+ worth it to me, especially since I got full trade back value for what I paid for s8!
I used my Oneplus 5T for 5 months without any case or protector and there was no any single mark on the screen.
Now I have a Galaxy S9+ and after 1 day use there is a deep scratch on the screen.
The phone is bloody expensive, but the quality is even worse year by year.
I hope that I can sell it quickly.
It doesn't worth a fkn penny.
"Great build quality". Would have been greater if ceramic was used.

Unfortunately, I know exactly what you mean... My brother just got the s9+ and he used it only for two days and then basically just handed it to me for free lol... I haven't gotten around to using it much but my brother told me that he hated it. Why? Well apparently, he experienced something rather similar... After only two days of usage he managed to scratch the display with regular use. Only two days... Brand New phone... Odd isn't it? -- The scratches are not that heavy or visible but still there and can be clearly seen in sunlight or a well lit area.
Me and my brother prefer the natural smooth feel of the screen so we don't use any screen protectors on our devices... However, we do have insurance just to be safe.

Ceramic would have been a nice touch. I certainly enjoy the Mi Mix devices and the build quality! I own the Mi Mix 1&2 they're both as solid as ever. I know a lot of people don't care for ceramic though and many prefer to have plastic or glass ... Not quite sure why but to each it's own ...
Did you notice that the Note 20 Ultra has a built in screen protector out of the box?
I won't have mine in hand for a bit over 24 hours from time of this post...
However, I did notice Zach (JerryRigEverything) posed a durability "test" as usual and it appears to have the same type of protection as earlier models starting with the S10 series last year.

None of the demo models I saw had one, and the review units on YouTube didn't appear to have one either.
But a member here received his early in the United Arab Emirates, and he said it had a factory installed screen protector just like the S20 and the Note 10. On Jerry Rig Everything, Zach showed that it came with a factory installed screen protector as well.
I ordered some screen protectors just in case. You will need them. Gorilla Glass Victus scratches just as easy as previous versions.

that makes my decision easy, I left the factory one on my note 10 plus and the fingerprint scanner worked on the first try maybe 70% of the time.
finally took it off as it wore and boom worked on the first try almost always..huge difference.
so i hadn't decided when my 20 ultra came (caved and ordered the 512gb even though black sucks) if Id leave it or ditch it immediately.
I see yes and I see no. Friend of mine called Verizon they said no due to the new Gorilla Glass

I find the pre-installed Screen Protectors decent for what they are. I had one on my Wife's S9, S10 and S20 and my Note 9 and Note 10. They seem to last about a year before they start to get bubbles. But short of that no complaints.
Looking the reviews over and it seems the rabid gerbils at Samsung seem to think this phone should sit screen down.
If you put it back down, there's it is pivoting on the cam hump like some misbalanced freak of nature.
Case and screen protector or it will get all beat to hell...
Doubtful I'll upgrade from the Note 10+ in spite of the 20's really cool specs and features.
I expect better, worse all the added off balanced bulk and NO 3.5mm jack. Samsung doesn't listen...
Got mine today and just has the protective film with holes cut out of it for camera and fingerprint sensor. I'm tempted to run it without one lol

Cool.... it looks like great fun
The fact the factory screen protector has a cut out for the fingerprint sensor though is troublesome.
Sand is the biggest screen scratch culprit.
I'd use a wet apply urethane protect like IQ Shield once the factory one wears out which could be many months from now.
Definitely would get a good case that has slightly raised on the ends to protect the screen on flat surfaces.
I use the Bolt on my 10+ and it works very well. However the factory screen protect saved it from a nasty faceplant the 2nd day I had the phone.
Many who run phones like these naked end up replacing cracked screens as there's very little bevel to protect them from corner impacts... my 10+'s favorite landing spot are its case corners or to faceplant.
No reviews yet, the Bolt for the 10+ is excellent. Not sure about the one for the 20 ultra:
https://www.zizowireless.com/produc...axy-note-20-ultra-case?variant=32315584282672
This wet apply soft screen protector works very well although it requires some time to properly install. Edges stay down and if a edge lifts can be sealed back down with touch and a tad of moisture. Have 3 months on my 10 and it still looks great with no scratches.
Compatible with the Bolt.

Installed my Ringke Easy Dual screen protector today, since the US models don't come with one pre-installed.
Love this Ringke screen protector. It's invisible and has no effect on the fingerprint reader at all. Highly recommend it.

Got mine yesterday. And it indeed has a cut off at the camera, so it must be there.
Also my fingerprint scanner seems to be like your 70%. (Identical with my note 10, haha we are the same early adapters.)
So I will pull it off.

p.s. just pulled it off. It is very thin. I never had scratches on my Note 10, so no worries.
And my fingerprint works 100% now!

Fully agree. Did the same. There is a difference in fingerprints quality however. The older a person gets the worse they get. I tested it with my children.
So if you ar young and beautiful maybe you can leave the screen protector.

Isn't the one installed just a shipping protective film?
Phones used to be packed in a plastic or fabric type cover before putting in the box. These days they aren't and I think the film is just to protect the screen during transit. I believe that because it's just too flimsy to be a proper screen protector.
.
I had left the film over the screen on as it was unnoticeable but removed it after reading this thread.
The finger print sensor is MUCH better now! ?
Anyone have issues with the factory screen protector on the inner screen? I'm noticing it's starting to unglue at the edge where the screen folds. Is that normal? Is that covered by Samsung's care plan?

Same happened with mine, I contacted Samsung and they advised me to go to the repair centre in my city and advised me I will be charged for this.
In the end I said f this and just peeled it off, now I understand why everyone was so keen on doing it in the first place and I have been free of it for about 3 weeks now.
Plenty of good 3rd party screen protectors that go on great and feel much better. I swapped mine out a couple of times now. Am currently trying a matte protector.

To be honest it is a real compromise between fingerprints and reflections vs screen quality. The matte is definitely more grainy and doesn't seem quite as bright. Its not terrible in my opinion but it may bug the heck out of you.

I had the matte for the front display but couldn't stand the grainy screen. The quality drop was significant especially on white or lite colours. But when the screen was off there were no smudges and my fingers glided smoothly over the display. Now back to clear anyways.

I bought a second hand Z Fold 2. It should be here Monday. The previous owner put a matte protector on it. I went ahead and ordered a clear one, because I don't think I'll like the matte. Screen quality is really important to me. I just kinda hoped your answer would be. "It's great! Can't even tell it's there!"
But alas, looks like I'll be swapping screen protectors.
Thank you for your response too.

Yes. It will drive you crazy. I tried watching a video this morning and it was very noticeable. Must be the material used though. I have a matte protector on my Ipad pro and it doesn't effect the screen quality any where near as much.
Yup. HATED the matte SP. I loved the feel and the lack of fingerprints, and hoped I could get used to it. Until I watched a movie. It looked like watching a worn out redubbed version of a movie on VHS.
Ripped that screen protector right off and replaced it with a Gobukee clear screen protector. MUCH better!!
Can anyone provide a link for the interior screen protect? I need to buy one because it's constantly ungluing in the middle?
Thank you.
facing same issue after three months.
I've bought Orzero 2 pack, installation is bit of painful but after that is very nice.

I just installed the Ozero about five days ago. I noticed yesterday that it was starting to peel up on the edges right at the crease. Planned to change it out this weekend. Then today I opened the phone and the Orzero completely let go at the crease. From top to bottom it came loose from the screen. I'll try to post a pic tonight of it when I'm home and have access to my other phone.
I'll try the other Ozero screen protector I have and hope this was a fluke, since I love how smooth these feel, but if the next one lets go like this one, I'll go back to Gobukee. I never had an issue with them.
