The surface of my new Mi Max 3 is much less "slippery" than the screen on my Mi MIX so I became curious whether it uses the same Gorilla glass as the MIX. However, when I search, I notice that none of the specs given for the Mi Max 3 on any web site say what type of screen glass it uses. Tradingshenzhen sent me a screen protector with the phone, but I've never used a screen protector before. I actually find the screen surface on the Mi Max 3 to be a bit 'sticky' and so I'm considering using the screen protector.
I would like to make an informed decision, however, so if anyone knows what type of glass is on the Mi Max 3, and whether it has an oleophobic and or scratch resistant coating, could you please let me know?
Thanks.

Hi, does the Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite use Corning Gorilla Glass? There are multiple sources that it does, and multiple sources that it doesn't.

I have no idea. But I didn't have a screen protector and my screen got scratched in the first week of use (I took good care of it). It has a couple minor scratches. I found them when installing the protector. They are super tiny. I'm unable to see them with unless you reflect the light in the precise spot. Although, the scratch is there.

Thanks for reply. My protector should be delivered to me tomorrow but I was just wondering if it was even needed. My previous phone was Nexus 5. I've had it for almost 4 years and I am still surprised that it didn't collect any scratches.

My previous phona was a nexus 5, too! Died due to failure of the power button. Although, it always wore a screen protector. Better safe than sorry
From what I've read from various sites is that the Mi A2 has Gorilla Glass 3, few mention the Lite only has tempered glass. Best bet to get a screen protector, just in case
I'm also not sure but I do use my A2 Lite without case or screen protector and the screen hasn't had any scratches yet (month or so)
I read there were going to be 2 versions of this phone in terms of material: one with a glass screen and another with a plastic screen. The glass screen version is supposed to come out in even smaller numbers than the plastic version. Has anyone else read this?
The Xiaomi Mi 10 is undoubdtedly a great phone. Arguably the best camera on any phone (I didn't see any difference with the Mi 10 Pro so opted for the Mi 10 with its bigger battery instead).
However, in most regions the Mi 10/pro do not come with pre-installed screen protectors. Having used the Mi A2 which has the GG5, I feel the Mi 10 can be used without a screen protector confidently. The provided case is thick and deep, and the glass won't get easily scratched if the phone is handled with care. Just be careful not to keep it with coins or keys to avoid scratches and be very careful not to drop the phone.
GG5 by its very nature can resist even deep scratches but a little common sense will go a long way.
I live in Portugal and my Xiaomi Mi 10 brought a plastic film to the screen, it is not the best, but it is better than having nothing ..
I walk in a fight to find the best tempered glass, but there are many people saying that they stick only to the sides, if anyone knows something, please share.

I think isn't an easy install and isn't easy clean the glue if you broke the class.
Uv tempered glass works fine. Does not leave any residue after removing it from the phone.
Did any of you found a good screen protector that is case friendly? Thanks!
So I was just going to buy a tempered glass protector for my new Poco F3 and then I saw they have one on already. What do you think? Should I just buy a thicker one and replace it or will it be good enough?
I replace it within 5 minutes i got the phone... Bad quality compared to those that is used on s21 series

Oh okay then will do. Thanks a lot man. Hopefully the one I choose isn't that bad.
There isn't a really need to change default screen protector.
Glass screen protectors are a commercial thing. It breaks every time you drop the phone and then makes you buy a new one thinking it protected the phone.
Just change the stock one if you have too many scratches on it. Or if you don't like fingerprints.. I feel it takes it a lot :s if I change, it's for thin plastic film not glass.
I replace the stock screen protector with a tempered glass and now the touch is a lot better. Also the feeling is smoother now. Stock screen protector is cheap.
I replaced mine. The stock screen protector is more vulnerable to scratches than a tempered glass. Mine had some scratches after a few days.

It comes with frame so it's really a piece of cake to put screen protector perfectly in place. I have it, everything ok so far. Oleophobic coat is also here. They also add a back plactick sticker. Nice thing, can cover your glass backplate too.
I just took mine off, screen protectors are kinda useless

The stock screen protector was peeling off in a month for me, so I switched to Gadgetshieldz screen protector which I've been using for 6 months and It is very efficient and gives good protection against scratches.
A good case should be your primary display protection from impact. Slightly raised guards on all sides.
The display needs protection from scratches otherwise it will get scratched. Sand easily scratches any display. Keep the factory one on until it gets ratty and/or you have a replacement.
Hydrocell wet apply TFF ones like Gorilla IQ Sheild work well, are dirt cheap, relatively easy to apply and can last 6+ months.
Hi all,
I have a few questions around tempered glass screen protectors for curved screens like the Pixel 6 Pro, I was wondering if people had any answers to:
Are there any known brands that do good quality curved tempered glass screen protectors?
Has anyone seen any tempered glass screen protectors for the Pixel 6 Pro that follow the curved edge of the screen
How well do these fit on phones that have cases (I'm looking at spigen rugged armor and have noticed in the past that some screen protectors don't fit properly with the case)
Any input would be appreciated as I want to make sure my Pixel 6 Pro is properly protected from scratches and falls.
At the moment, do not buy a glass screen protector. Where is the screen of the Pixel 6 Pro curved? Until a high-quality curved protection is made

Just this morning this chick was standing next to me on the train and she had a phone with on-scree fingerprint reader and a screen protector. It looked ugly as ѕhit, because there was a hole for the fingerprint.
I haven't used screen protectors in years now. I just don't put my phone in the same pocket as keys and it's good as new.

I'm using a Whitestone Dome Glass on my OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren and there is no hole, where the FPS is...
And there's also no problem with the finger print reader with the applied Dome Glass.
So I really do hope that there's going to be a Dome Glass also for the Pixel 6 Pro (in the past Whitestone always hat a Pixel Dome Glass available...)

I heard many horror stories from people that had to remove the remains of Dome Glass after a drop (shattered, couldn't be removed in one piece). Did that ever happend to you? I planned on using Dome Glass for a while now, but it's quite expensive and I am not really looking forward to damaging my original display whilst trying to remove the debry of the protecting glass...
Any reason why you couldn't put a 6 tempered glass on the 6 Pro? pretty much the same size. You wouldn't want it to go past the curved edges anyway.

You would have a pretty sizable area around the screen protector that doesn’t come up to the case edge. Leaving room for dust to accumulate. Also the selfie camera cut out wouldn’t line up right.
I ordered this one: https://www.spigen.com/products/pixel-6-pro-screen-protector-neo-flex
I know Spigen makes great cases but never tried their screen protector. It's not tempered glass but it was (only) 11 euros on Amazon. In the worst case, if reviews are bad, I'll send it back.
Edit: read some reviews about the same ones for other phones, they don't seem great. I canceled my order for now. We'll see what becomes available next week.
I just bought some LK film screen protectors off of Amazon. I've had good luck with them in the past and the install method they use works great. I might go Whitestone or similar later on after I see some reviews. I had used Whitestone before in the past but from what I've been reading it seems the quality of the glass isn't what it used to be. IDK anybody used a Whitestone lately?

Before I sold my Pixel 2 XL I removed the Dome Glass and that was absolutely no problem.
The Glass came off very easy and the glue sticks to the Dome Glass not the Smartphone Screen.
I also had to replace the Dome Glass on my OnePlus (my fault) and there I didn't have any problems either - the glue sticks to the Dome Glass, the Display remains absolutely clean...
Can't really imagine on how to "kill" the display when removing the Dome Glass...of course, if you're usin a kniw or a screw-driver or any other inapproriate tool...
I'm going with the Ringke Dual Easy Wing. The film curves around and covers the edges and it has stayed pristine for the 1 year I've had it on my Note 20 ultra.

Do you use cases on your phone? If so does it work well with them?

is this avail for the 6 Pro?
I ordered the ArmorSuit MilitaryShield Screen Protector and see how it does. I may order a protector for the camera lens but I see nothing I like right now.
I ordered the curved Imak 3D Tempered Glass Screen Protector, it will arrive in mid-November.

Been rocking my Pixel 5 w/o a screen protector since purchase. Don't think I'll use one for my Pro.

I didn't see the Ringke on their website.
A few things to answer earlier posts:
Whitestone is REALLY easy to remove, even after it shatters. Worst case you can scrape it all up with a business card. The adhesive is more like rubber cement than a hard glue.
Tempered glass protectors with a hole in them are straight up garbage. Avoid them
The Pro has an Optical sensor, any issues that Samsung users had with tempered protectors don't apply here. Optical sensors work GREAT with LOCA based UV tempered glass protectors. My Oneplus 9 Pro has an Optical sensor and I have the whitestone (and used Aliexpress $3 loca based protectors), they all work fine. The main difference is the quality of glue used, the cheaper ones pull up like crazy after a few weeks.
I ordered a Spigen 2 pack but I am no expecting much, might go Whitedome this time. Curved displays are a ball ache.
I brought this and it arrived a week ago. The glass is curved: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09FL6GTHJ?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
I can take a picture of the glass if anyone wants. I however haven't tried it on the phone (since mine won't ship till early Nov), so I don't know how good it is. But the edges are curved.
I ordered 2x Magglass Tempered Glass Designed for Google Pixel 6 Pro Screen Protector (2021) UHD Full Coverage Display Guard (Case Compatible), so I'll give a review when I get the phone and put it on. It was either the sole tempered glass one I could find or one of only a couple. I've never used this brand although I've heard of them and seen them.
By the way, on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 512 GB (which I love the hardware but hate the software, having come from the Pixel 1), I bought the Note 10+ phones for my wife and I a year and a half ago, and it took a while to receive a screen protector. I dropped that phone at least 10 times before I also received an Otterbox Defender, since a lot of stuff was getting delayed. That phone is just so slippery without a case (I know, this is a screen protector thread).
I'm so glad the screen wasn't damaged before I got the protector on it. The phone came with something basic already on the screen that wasn't really a protector, but it might've helped keep it from damage until I got the rest of my accessories.
