Did you guys see drop test of poco f1 on youtube ? The display shatters very easily, it's a point of concern.
There's a reason why the phone costs so less. Using poly-carbonate body and Gorilla Glass 3 instead of going for glass body and Gorilla Glass 5. Get a decent screen protector.

This is de rigeur with mobile phones IMHO.
I've never had a mobile and not used a screen protector. Accidents happen and it feels like you'd be a fool not to do what you can to mitigate against your screen getting knackered. I've settled on glass screen protectors which have occasionally smashed, saving the actual screen from smashing - seems the obvious way to go
A decent fall always breaks the screen no matter how good the corning gorilla glass is,they mainly provide resistance to scratches ! Better invest in a good case and tempered glass,its all about certain angle and positions,be careful to be safe
Mi A2 have Gorilla Glass 5 but still didnt survive fall according to this video,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WaNYr2DNLk
Guys, he did drop test after bend test.
So, glass was already loose from body.
So, it's obvious that it's breaks after fall.
Anyway, I just opened mine, it's feels as strong as my OnePlus 3t was.

oh yes why did i not catch this part lol
I have a Nexus 5, so probably the GG is worst than GG3. When GG3 launched people liked it, now its crap? I dont think so, only it has better versions. IMO every phone should use a glass protector and case.
Do you guys think a tempered glass for Mi 8 will somewhat fit Pocophone F1? The size a pretty close +/- 1mm. Notch is obviously different but the point is to find a temporary solution while accessories for Pocophone are available.
Just out of curiosity, since the phone share the same kernels.
Is it possible to use Twrp for Mi 8 on a poco phone? And mi 8 roms on a poco phone?

no the phones doesn't share the "same kernel". they have different configs which turns on different display drivers, different ir drivers, different front cam drivers etc.

Policarbonate is more flexible and resistant than Glass and Aluminium
Yeah, looks cheap and it is but also has another quality over the other 2 materials apart from shock absortion: signal transmissions
This guy says he dropped Poco F1 from 5 feet of height, what happened next? Here's the link
https://thenextweb.com/plugged/2018...omi-gives-you-a-429-reason-to-skip-flagships/
I have clumsy fingers, using the included silicon case without screen protector for the past 20 days.
Must have dropped it at least 4 times from 3 to 5 feet and no problems so far.
Although have a couple of barely noticeable scratches on the front screen , so Def need a scratch guard.

Thanks for making me google "de rigeur" .. On other note, I've never used protective glass, and dropped my iPhone 4, 5, and LG G3 (that one fallen from 2m on kitchen tiles) and nothing happened. I do worry about screen edges here being uncovered by plastic.
And a screen protector glass can only protect from mild hits. It's just how mechanics work. You don't have a spring cushion between two layers of glass.

There is still no drop test available for this device. Have any one of you dropped the phone to the ground yet ?
Important to know if you used screen protector or not.
I have removed the screen protector, to get a better image. I did drop my phone to the floor, it did glide from the chair straight down with the "screen" down From about half meter (chair level). Luckily.. not a single scratch on the phone.. I know half meter is not impressive.

Well.. the hardness of the material is of high importance.. Concrete floor..is the worst.
However I refuse to buy any flipcover for this device, since the thinness of the phone is important
if you are going to use a big phone like this...
Glass screen protectors seem not be a choice either, since it seem most people have problems to apply them properly due to the surface of the phone is not 100% straight.
Dropped mine 2 times. First time in the snow on the ground and second time on the road. Has some little scratches on aluminium case and one scratch on white part next to lcd screen. Has tempered glass on it.
All the times I have dropped my phones the root cause have been "sleep deprivation" , I know I should be extra careful those days at work when I have not sleeped enough hours, if I have slept only 4 hours in the night I am more likely to drop my phone.. My last G2 did surrive 3 months I hope my m7 will surrive longer. in the spring I hope there is some phones on the market that want me to upgrade, maybe the LG G4 ?
I am little bit worried about the second hand value of the M7. in Sweden there seem to be no explosion of "popularity" of the phone, it was more in the first month of the launch but now it seem less.
I am stubborn to not use any flipcover on this device. Since The big size of the phone makes the extra thickness the phone not enjoyable to handle and hold in hand... Using Glass screen protectors seem not work good with M7 since it is hard to apply because the screen is not 100% straight.
Made a huge drop on the floor today luckily not scratches and the glass did not crack either I was very worried.. So it looks durability is not bad so far.

Drop test
I have "drop tested" my phone by accident twice already haha ... so far 0 scratches on it! maybe i was really REALLY lucky or its super durable phone! I have dropped my phone the first time from 1 meter on a wooden floor, and the second time from half a meter on the same wooden floor and has nothing, screen is perfect, no scratches on the edges, just nothing! I was amazed that it has nothing but its a fact for me
Got the Nillkin glass on it...99% straight, just the bottow right corner as a 1% of not perfectly strightness (not visible if glass not applied)...so for me Nillkin glass = 100% good choice
After 6 months finally I did drop the phone on stone floor, it did result in a quite big crack, but not too vissible, but yet big.
I did quickly order a glass protector.. to make sure the crack does not grow bigger.. I also have hopes that the glass protector will make the crack on the glass even less visible..
I did not have time to look thru which is the best glass protector, since I was in a hurry to get one to prevent the crack from getting bigger .
I bought this one https://www.mytrendyphone.se/shop/huawei-ascend-mate7-142979p.html
I hope it is one of the better ones... The glass is from Japan.
With this say, I can tell you, that the Mate 7 have surrived many big drops, if your phone will surrive will depend on luck but also mostly of the surface material, wood floor is no problem at all for mate 7 you can drop it many many times on wood floor, I have done that.
But on stone floor the percentage of several of the glass is a lot less! Then you really need to have the luck on your side.
I still consider Mate 7 onne of the more durable phones, how it compares with Note 4 would be interesting..
I think Samsung Edge series though are in a class in its own, from what I understand they do not use glass but plastic ?
I never dropped it and I never use cases
For me this phone is excellent!
EXCELLENT BATTERY LIFE!!!!!!!!
lol i was reluctant to post this but our options are not looking good so far. Has anyone tried this? I wouldn't mind applying it often if needed but i always wondered if this works. I have seen what some think about it but im asking those that have actually tried it and have experience with it.

Honestly, they feel like straight tacky rubber. They also affect the clarity in my opinion.
Hum i havent had that problem. I used my s7 edge without a protector for a wk til the skinomi came in. Once instal, after a day or 2 didnt even know i had it on.
But to each there own, you know.
has anyone done a crash test for these??
I've never used a screen protector on my previous phones (Note 2 / Note 4) and have never had any issues with scratches. I always have my phone in my pocket, though I always place it with the screen facing my thigh to avoid any accidental damage to the screen from outside and I never place keys in the same pocket.
When inspecting my note 4 after 2 years of use I can only see a few very fine hairline surface scratches that are basically only visible under very close scrutiny, under specific light and with the screen tilted at a specific angle - so generally speaking, my note 4 screen is still flawless after 2 years of use.
Now the scratch resistance of GG5 glass in the now infamous video of note 7 does trouble me as does the lack of good screen protectors which cover the whole screen without having to deal with drawbacks such as rainbow effects, hollow clicking, loss of sensitivity, peeling of corners etc.
Therefore, I'm also considering the liquid solution from Kristall for my preordered Note 7 in hopes that it could help prevent scratching of the glass on the device. I couldn't care less about the improved shatter-resistance of the GG5, as I do have an insurance plan that would cover an accident, but so far I have yet to shatter a screen on any of my phones.
So I'm planning to use the Note 7 as is, without ugly covers or screenprotectors, but would using something like Kristall liquid screen protector be able to improve my chances of not scratching up the glass? Does anyone have any insight / personal experience / references to tests that show its effectiveness in regards to scratches? (Not in regards to shatter resistance)
I have always been curious about these. I would love to see a video demonstrating the effectiveness.

The Nexus 6 uses Gorilla Glass 3 though, which is even more scratch resistant than gorilla glass 4 (but more prone to shattering). I wish they would go back to using GG3 to be honest.
They should use Sapphire since we're paying so much for this damn phone

Yes that would be the way to go TBH.
These treatments may prevent stuff from abrading the oleophobic coating but they aren't going to prevent scratches in the glass itself. Also if it truly is a persistent coating, it's going to change how your fingers slide across the screen. It could be for the better or for the worse. If it's the latter, I wonder how hard it would be to remove?

From what I've read online, the feeling was slightly different to naked glass, but not "bad different". Also the screen is supposedly gettimg a little more gloss /shine with this.
As I understand, the coating mostly covers/fills the microscopic pores on the surface of the glass, so I'm guessing that it'd still feel smooth?
As for removing the coating - no idea
I think I'm gonna try it out on my note 7 when I receive it (gotta wait till the 9th of September)...
I'll post back regarding my experience, but since I'm not gonna attempt to scratch up my new device on purpose, I probably won't be able to say anything regarding the effectiveness of the added scratch resistance as opposed to not using the solution...
I'd still love to see a proper test from JerryRigsEverything though!

GG5 is garbage.
I noticed today in direct sunlight that I have quite a few faint scratches. You can't see them when the screen is on and the scratches are only visible at certain angles.
But considering its only been a week and this phone costs as much as a laptop that's unacceptable.
Well from what i found, a note 7 screen replacement will cost $250(for the new screen itself) lol i would have ordered one and tried this liquid screen protector stuff but damn that lol
I did some Google-Fu and found this thread. Like others have said, what good is screen protection you can't remove if it gets messed up?

This is just what i found on this particular one
No, liquid screen protector does not work. Have seen reviews in my local forums that scratches occur after.
Also, I've just made experiment by putting on car coating material (aquartz t-cera) on my tablet's screen,
3 layers with a day of curing for each layer, 2x application per layer .. and after days of curing,
tried rubbing small piece of sand/dry cement to the screen glass (non gorilla),, and tadaaa, scratches !
so, No ... liquid stuff doesn't work for me.
I have had my screen protector from OnePlus on since I received the phone in May. As of right now, there is a crack spanning the entire screen, top to bottom and a half a ring shaped crack in the bottom of the screen protector. I have not dropped the device nor have I had anything impact the device. It has simply cracked under the pressure of my own pocket. I strongly urge against buying one. I have reached out to OnePlus and their response was that it was already installed, so they refused to do anything, even after providing many pictures and a video proving there was not a single scratch on the phone or screen protector. It is a total price of garbage. Do not buy!
So no crack in your phone screen? Thats all that matters tho. I mean maybe you didnt notice when you bumped into something because i doubt it can crack in your pocket only.
If i was you i would buy the moloco full adhesive screen protector from aliexpress for 3.99 dollar because it looks the same as the orig one.

Yea thats the one bro! And full adhesive is the way to go because matrix dot or edge only protectors are terrible.
Also if you really need a good protector then you can try to glue it on with LOCA 2500 glue. Videos are on youtube.

When it's in my pocket, I always have the screen to my leg. Also has a case. I'll dig through the pictures I sent OnePlus and post them later after work. Not a single scratch on anything, even the screen protector.
Anyone notice the sensitivity of the screen has lessened since using the OnePlus 6 tempered glass screen protector? Takes more effort to double tap, sometimes around the edges of the screen touch is iffy, I'm considering taking it off but would prefer to keep it on for obvious reasons..

I notice it a bit, but not enough to impact anything. I have big hands and they are strong from playing guitar so I usually press slightly harder anyway. It is a little on the thick side. Going to try a plastic as a replacement for my damaged one. I'll report how well it works after the weekend.
Does the screen get scratched easley without the default screen protector?
Good question, I don't normally use a screen protector but since this one was already on the phone I left it on.
Now the protector has several scratches and marks on so I am wondering the same about the screen if I remove the protector.
Sent from my Honor View 10 using Tapatalk
Does it gets scratches on daily usage.
My friend got 7X, launched together with V10, he has been using the phone without screen protector.
He has few minor scratches on the screen.
This make me wonder if honor might have used the same quality of screen on both devices then definitely it will not resist minor scratches.
On the other hand V10 and 7X are totally different phones, V10 being the flagship and 7X being the mid-ranger.
Nothing can be said certainty.
I posted this question after watching this
Screen test is quite surprising.
The rest of the tests are totally expected from any phone if you take a knife to the ports etc so not the least surprising and don't need the tests to tell what it is made from, you can tell anyways.
Good to see camera lens survives.

But even an old gorilla glass 3 can stand against this test
I was under the impression that the OP7Pro had CGG6 on the front, and CGG5 on the back.
But according to the corning's website itself:
OP7Pro has CGG5 on both front and back: https://www.corning.com/gorillaglas...glass-front-and-back/oneplus/oneplus7pro.html
OP7 has CGG6 on front, and CGG5 on the back: https://www.corning.com/gorillaglas...la-glass-front-and-back/oneplus/oneplus7.html
Is it because of the curved display? Are there any downsides to having CGG5 vs CGG6?
It's only for scratches. All the Gorilla Glass breaks when dropped, especially on an edge. As far as the difference, there is not much. Hell, even from the GG 1 to the 6 each one from the next Corning touts something like 20% stronger blah blah blah but in real life durability, there isn't much from the 1 to the 6 now. There might be 20% increased strength/durability from the 1 to the 6. but really what the main difference is is scratch resistance and even GG 1 is really good at that.

Amen to that. I broke the GG on my 3T screen, dropping it on its edge/corner onto a concrete sidewalk. Never broke a screen on a phone before (since before they used GG on these devices - Windows Mobile days!) and totally my fault. But when it happens, it happens.

That's not true. The hardness is the same. They claim the new versions can withstand drops better... Not the case.
Yeah you're right, it is CGG 5. I had the 6T before the 7 Pro and that was CGG 6. Why they downgraded for this device I'll never know. Probably to cut the cost a LITTLE BIT given the extra stuff they packed into the 7 Pro. I just hope CGG 5 is strong enough! I never drop my phones either way, but it's on my mind from time to time, I won't lie.

True, I had my 3 in a spigen slim case, took a tumble from my pocket while playing basketball, case came off from the side and cracked the whole screen.
Op7pro being both heavier and more glass covered, it seems to be a recipe for disaster.
I don't know if the claims made by corning about CGG6 being more drop resistant than CGG5 are true or not, but OP should've used CGG6 on the front no matter what, even OP6T had CGG6. And the drop tests on youtube for Op7pro aren't confidence inspiring as well..

Mind you the front was fine but I didn't notice the back glass was shattered until 2 days later due to the case. I had to switch over to the CaseMate case that is sold through TMobile. I very rarely drop my devices and this was the first one I had to do a warranty claim on due to external damage.

That's sad. Which case you had when this happened?
This guy recently posted a crazy drop test video with one of the SupCases, and it seemed to hold up just fine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWhhpAhKIN0
