Is the glass completely scratch ressistant? Is it pure glass or is it groilla glass?
I honestly dont understand why u wpuld remove it? Its like a perfectly fit protector u never bought
Hello Omaro,
Z1 Compact uses Dragontrail glass which is as strong as gorilla glass. The glas does however not come with a oleophobic coating
As an answer to your first question there's no glass which is 100% scratchproof. Minerals can scratch pretty much any types of glass, and by minerals I'm talking about sand, stones etc etc.
The reason why most people wants to remove the preinstalled antishatterfilm is due to that it collects dust, fingerprints and its very easy to scratch. It's not recommended to remove it if you're not planning to apply a oleophobic coating on top of the glass.
Hope my answer cleared any doubts,

The surface of the glass under the plastic film is not as smooth as other phone screens. I think this is because it is not intended to be used without a film above it.
I removed Sonys plastic film and added Orzly Tempered Glass Screen Protector (you can use any other tampered glass protector). nearly perfect for my and much more scratch resistant than with the plastic film.

The reason because it does not feel as smooth is because of that there's no olephobic coating on top of the glass. You need to apply one yourself using a liquid solution, and it'll feel like on any other phone.
thanks guys^
but does this olephobic coating u speak of wear off after time?
EDIT: btw I cant see any anti shatter film on the backside of my phone. Shouldnt there be on there as well?
ty in advance.
btw great phone.

nope. the z1c has a plastic black. no shatter-protection necessary, but causes the flashbleed problem. some people have replaced theirs with the glass back from the z1f, though.
I don't have any screen protector and am very happy with that. No need to put some ugly stuff on the front glass.

My s4 never got scratshes and i didnt use protecotrs. So a glass back would be a neat feature.

Mocolo Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy S4 mini
Bought this one and loved. Much better than the plastic ones while using the phone. (remove the spaces on the link)
www . amazon . com /gp/product/B00O1N7GZE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I actually ordered one yesterday. I hope it will do it's job
gonna take off my protective cover and rely on the glass
glass is so much better than plastic. The feel, the transparency and its longevity is amazing compare with plastic. Plus very easy to keep clean with either a tissue or cloth.
However, there is a downside. And it is its thickness. Plastics protectors are usually under 0.1mm thick. While glass ones are usually between 0.2 to 0.35mm.

Thanks, looks like it worth a try!
Tempered glass everytime, the plastic PET film ones are horrible. I got a Pureglas screen protector for my S4 Mini Plus from eBay for less than a fiver. Excellent screen protector, very easy to fit with no bubbles. The size is a few mm smaller than the actual screen and has all the cutouts including for the home button.
Tempered glass
The greatest difference is that tempered glass really protect your expensive screen of breaking it and plastic protectors, protects only from scratches.
Mocolo
Sorry guys but i can't recommence the mocolo tempered glass protector. thats simply caused by not exactly fitting on my s4 mini. material is really good and feels much more comfortable than other protectors made from plastics. but IT DOES NOT FIT THE DIMENSIONS of the i9195. there is a spacing of 1-2 mm on each site and around the menu button.

Does the mate 20 x come with a glass srceen protector?

No,my 20x comes with Plastic srceen protector
Ditto - plastic
So you guys recommend I get a glass screen protector? Or just leave the plastic one it already has?
.
I would use the plastic until it is no longer usable then switch to temp glass. I still have the plastic and and will keep it that way until it is too damaged.

If you plan the use the pen the plastic will not last much from my experience and it does scratch easy. Also the plastic does not have oleophobic coating and it will gather finger oils fast. On top of that the finger does not glide as smooth on it as it does on glass.

It depends on your usage patterns and how picky you are... you can use it as it is for a while and see how it fits you... if you are not happy get a glass for it...
Just make sure it's a good glass, meaning it needs to have rounded edges, oleophobic coating, cover the screen properly but fits fine with the case you are using...

Don't expect the glass to protect the screen much in case on an impact giving the big size of the screen... my glass is around 0.2-03mm thick...
Don't get me wrong It's definitely better to have one sheet of glass on it than a sheet of plastic when are talking about impact just don't expect miracles
I've put a glass on it because I am picky:
- the default sheet although is nice to have and protects from scratches but it does not have oleophobic coating so it smudges pretty bad
- when using a pen you need to push harder and the default plastic sheet gets scratched a lot and also gets some deep scratches fast, also the pen does not slide smoothly like it does on a glass
- the feel of smooth glass while scrolling is priceless... finger slides on glass so much better...
- I watch a lot of media on the phone so I hate having scratches on the screen and no matter how carefull you are, you will get scratches... some will be quite deep and will be visible.
- I use the flip case and with a flip case you have a higher chance of some dirt to get caught between the flip and the screen and get scratched
- the screen is flat so a glass screen is cheap (compared to the ones for the curbed screens are are more expensive and with many drawbacks)
I use a Glass Screen Protector from Amazon.

When I 1st got my mate 20x I noticed it came with a flimsy plastic screen protector that you can peel off. But I also noticed another protector underneath. It looks glass. I want to remove it. Is this another screen protector also?

The first film is similar to what's on the back of the phone, it's merely a shipping protection film. The one underneath is a factory applied plastic screen saver. Most people chose to keep the factory applied one on until it scuffs up, some remove it as they prefer the feel of glass.

It's not from side to side but the gap is not such big either since the screen is only 2.5 rounded. I haven't seen tempered glass on rounded screen from side to side fully functional yet. I use nice and durable folie though.

Hey piskr,
Appreciate your response. But don't you think 0.2mm is too thin and is liable to shatter easily?

Wanna have my advice? Forget about tempered glass. It brakes one way or another, sooner or later. It shines only when you drop the phone on an extremely rough surface with stones or similar.
Dropping the phone on a flat surface or prevent scratches doesn't require tempered glass. Try this protection and it will give you a completely different view on screen protection:
https://forefrontcases.co.uk/produc...ile-phone-hydrogel/huawei-mate-20-x-hydrogel/
It's smooth as tempered glass, tinny and durable and doesn't make this blur effect as tempered glass, especially when it is dirty, makes.
Just try it. I promise that you won't regret. It's dirt chip regarding performance.

Yes, no screen protector in the box, and it is frustrating. I think Samsung is reducing the use of plastic so they are selling it separately you can try the Gadgetshieldz film screen protector which is really good and it is made from nano polymer and it can self-heal the scratches occur on it!

well they are pushing on using less plastic and going carbon neutral so that might be the reason orr..... might just be cost
Typically plastic film works less with yltrasonic sensors.
Try a glass one.
Mine came with a screen protector. I took it off and put a tempered glass on.
They do it so they can claim to be green while passing the waste and cost to the end consumer who's going to end up buying it all anyway.

I don't like it too but they are far more scratch resistant than plastic film. I have bought cheap hydrogel film from Aliexpress and fews days after, you already get some scratches. Same with a more expensive one, the Spigen Neoflex, totally useless as it scratches too easily.
So now, only tempered glass...

yh no plastic but they include that first protector with the little tab that it's not meant to be used as a film protector.
I mean, they could just include a proper film to give the user the choice to either keep it or peel it off.
so no screen protector on the phone out of the box- and the reason is to reduce plastic waste. I got the official samsung screen protector from the samsung shop- there is four times the amount of plastic waste in the packing as well as the box it came in. This is a load of samsung BS , just another revenue stream to upsell

If Samsung sees this comment they will just give away the protector as usual! Plastic waste is just a concept for them to earn extra money for the protectors!!!
