Thru out the years, I have had phone with gorilla glass and have had no screen protectors ever and have had no scratches ever! Now, I am carful as hell with my phones but my z2 I did the same as I usually do and I did get scratches. Front and back. My only guess is, this was because of the dragontail glass which is not as strong as gorilla glass when it comes to scratches. I do hope that sony went with gorilla glass this time. Anyone know for sure?
PS - I want to say that the Z3 is dragontail glass again as GSM arena spec site says "shatterproof glass" and it says gorilla glass 3 for other phones like the S5 and Note 4. The specs listed there for the Z3 for the screen protection say the same as the Z2. That sucks... ohwell, guess I need a crappy screen protector on this shinny NEW phone... sigh....

Get a Nilkin tempered glass screen protector if you really feel worried. I've ordered one. They feel as good, if not actually better than the glass on the phones anyway, and a drop means the screen protector breaks, not the screen.
Really recommend one.
Please post questions in the Q&A section

Note 4 has Gorilla Glass 4!!??
According to Corning Glass website the Note 4 has Gorilla Glass 4 on it NOT GG 3 as stated in the spec pages of most sites.

This is confirmed on GSMarena here-

I wouldn't doubt it since Corning and Samsung are close business partners.
and I'm still searching for the perfect fitting tempered glass screen protector
Awesome feature love it
mine has scratched from just being in my pocket unprotected :crying: now got a cheap screen protector on i cant notice it,
You should see the one at the T-Mobile store, holy crap. It looks like someone used a piece of fine grit sandpaper on it.
I predict even Gorilla Glass 100 will scratch!
A tempered glass screen protector looks great, is easy to clean perfectly, and provides extreme protection (but it does get micro-scratches, be thankful they're not on your phone!)
Deleted. Sorry mispost.

has any company started making screen protectors out of the corning willow glass. would it solve the haloing affect most samsung devices have with the tempered glass screen protectors. if a company has please let me know i would love one for the front and back of my note 5.
I was looking to buy either this phone or the OnePlus 3. The deal breaker for me is that it is unknown whether the Honor 8 has some form of glass protection, apart from the advertised 15 layers of glass. Can someone clarify this? Thanks!
From what I could gather online, it has Gorilla Glass 3. Not 100% though

Same problem I'm having. Some sources say nothing, other say Gorilla Glass 4 and some Gorilla glass 3. And a direct question to Honor they just quote the specs
Honor 8 has Gorilla glass 3 AND a 3 month replacement warranty, with free shipping and no deductible to replace the phone if you bread either the front or back glass

Gorilla glass with 2.5D design
Honor 8 comes with its front and back metal and glass design protected by a coating of Corning's scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass 3 so no worry about scratches but the glass back can easily attracts smudges,it is a fingerprint magnet but a skin or case can solve the issue so its not at all a problem:good::good:
Maybe they didn't updated this, or we are pretty much wrong. I really hope the former is correct.
Corning Gorilla Glass 3

Sorry
the Honor 8 does not have Corning Gorilla Glass. It uses Nippon Electric Glass (NEG).

It is said that NEG glass is as good as Gorilla glass and dragontrail glass if not better. There is not much technical detail available about the new Scratch resistant glass from NEG used in mobile phones, but there are good and positive reviews about this new glass. So if your new smartphone does not have Gorilla Glass or Dragontrail Glass protection but has NEG Glass protection then you don’t have to worry about it as your smartphone screen will be as safe as it would have been with the other two.

Did you register for free replacement if glass broken for 3 months? I quoted someone else, but it appears that they were wrong. Any glass will break. I broke the screen on a s7 edge. And it was gorilla Glass 4. From a 2 foot drop.

NEG or Nippon Electric Glass for mobile devices is a very hard, high tensile strength and scratch resistant glass that is used as a protection glass in smartphones, tablets and may be other mobile devices. Just like Gorilla Glass and Dragontrail Glass, NEG glass is also very hard and flexible which prevents scratches and damage due to minor drops and rough handling.
The special name or the brand name of NEG’s Scratch Resistant Glass for Smartphone, Tablets and other Mobile devices is Dinorex. NEG chose the name Dinorex, a portmanteau meaning kinsg of dinosaurs, based on the image of the Tyrannosauraus Rex, known to be the strongest of Dinosaurs. The name indicates the strength and toughness of the glass against cracks and scratches.
dinorex-glass-for-mobiles
NEG’s Dinorex is made hard and strong using chemical strengthening. This process for strengthening is known as Ion exchange mechanism where glass containing sodium ions (Na+) is soaked in a potassium nitrate solution containing potassium ions (K+), the Na+ ions on the glass surface change places with the K+ ions in the solution. The resulting K+ ions have a larger diameter than the Na+ ions and exert compressive stress on the glass surface. The glass thus produced can also withstand a hammer blow without breaking.

Well said brother..!!
Does it have gorilla glass protection. There is hardly any mention of it anywhere in the net or the unboxing videos.
All I've read is it uses some type of aluminosilicate glass.
I've heard whisperings of Gorilla Glass 3 but nothing concrete.
All of the specs I've read indicate that it has Gorilla Glass , either version 3 or 5. All Gorilla Glass is anti microbial. https://www.getdroidtips.com/huawei-honor-v10-problems-fixes/ Hihonor should clarify for all of us interested in this phone.
