I guess...end of the day...its depends on user on how s/he handles the phone. If the person is diligent and careful, gorilla glass is good enough as a protection rather than topping it up with a protective layer.

I had used multiple phones and never had a protective layer on top of the gorilla glass, so far so good.

Those who believed it will NEVER get scratches really topkek

It's more resistance not scratchproof

one of my customer said "tiada benda yang perfect kecuali dihasil daripada Allah

Out of curiosity, manusia bukan ciptaan Allah?

If it is 3310 then we have to see the floor material to predict the floor damage

Glass is still glass

It is stronger than the typical screen glass. It is true that you don't need to put on screen protector because the beefed up glass should be able to resist any minor-heavy scratches, In reality, they are just stronger glass but unfortunately, they are still just glass. Also, don't just take it as it is. Research.

What I found out on my end, some smartphone that comes with Corning Gorilla Glass, the glass don't really live up to expectation. But many other smartphones that uses the same glass the same version (e.g. Corning Gorilla Glass or Corning Gorilla Glass 2 or etc) manages to last a long time without any scratches.

I remember one of the earlier Android phone I used, the HTC Dezire Z - used it for a few years - the phone itself is in bad shape. But the screen condition is 100% fine without any scratches (sad fact: lost the phone so can't show you the proof). Then there's Moto G (first generation) I'm using it until now. I accidentally dropped it many times before. Almost everywhere, even on tiles and tarmac. The body suffered dents and scratches. The screen though, in Moto G case, at the middle (refer to below photo) you can find a huge minor scratch a long with many other scratches as well. I don't see this on my Desire Z back then.

But the scratches are not visible at all whenever I am using the phone. Unless I shone a bright light at it like I did in the photo below. So it doesn't matter to me. Not something of a big deal that might want me to put screen protector on top of it.

Back to your question, it is not a myth, but it is a misleading understanding. Then again, its marketing.

1.5 year without screen protector.. no calar.. on and off use toilet paper to wipe off dusts/finger prints and it's just like brand new

never drop the phone before.. *touchwood

Corning® Concore™ glass

I use godzilla glass. So far so good.

Last time there's less legal issues.

For example, lots of watches were labeled as waterproof up till the late 1970s whereas today the very exact same watch can only be labeled as 30m water resistant.

The wording is very important.

some flagship devices comes with build gorilla grass 3 or 4 but those cheap china phone like xiao mi definitely don't have. evidently you can see their phone screen easily crack just a soft press.

The problem with some of you jokers is that many of you don't seem to get certain basic laws of physics.

TS included.

Look, its very simple. You cannot make something that's both scratch-resistant and shatter-resistant, OK? Its gotta be one or the other. Why? Because glass can either be soft-ish and malleable which makes it shatter-resistant (a good example is the screen of the original Nexus S) but very very vulnerable to scratches.

Either that, it can be very hard and dense, which makes it scratch-resistant but therefore brittle and vulnerable to cracking.

Its one or the other. This means that your phone will either need a screen-protector or a impact-resistant case to protect it. You just gotta figure out which it is you need.

Also, scratch resistant means it your fingernails can't scratch it. Not keys, coins, or rocks. Don't keep the phone in your pocket with other sharp stuff or you're either a moron or just don't really care too much about the phone.

Oh, there is glass that is both shatter and scratch resistant. Its just not possible to fit onto a phone just yet, at least not at an affordable price.

I'm using iphone 6+. Since november 2014. Never put on any screen protector or using any special soap to wipe screen. I wipe maybe 2 weeks once, only if got hingus or food stain on it and i will use my shirt to wipe it. So far only got a few short scratch on it, mostly due to keeping the phone together with my car key or coins in pocket. Can't see the scratch at all unless u use magnifying glass or view it under strong light.

I can conclude that minor sctrach on the phone is 1000x better than having a screen protector that is filled with scratches and fingerprints. Some ppl said can buy tempered glass screen protector la blablabla, from what i seen those sp also will chip and crack after few months, become finger print magnet and all. Damn lebih, why buy such a nice phone only to hide it behind something uglier. Cannot brain

my xt1033 got gorilla glass..
2 years back my phone got dropped around 2m height.
weirdly,glass not broke but internal screen become not responsive.managed to repair at their sc at rm280

u go get those cracked Gorilla screen stick at your shop there kawtim d.

no need to talk so much

the paper wrote "resistance" not "immune" people no baca baik-baik now buat kecoh...

Yes i believe you.

But u havent seen Dragon glass !

It so good can kill white walkers

Sorry we don do repair..

bang. aku ada Lumia 800 dan Lumia 720 dan Lumia 620

aku dapati :

Skrin Lumia 800 merupakann Glass.Resolution dia ok juga. tapi takde masalah touch issues . aku pecah skrin 2 kali phone ni kos me each RM 250.
after change screen GPS not working properly. something like acceletromater not functioning.

Lumia 720 aku beli dari Mudah. utk kawan aku warna Putih. ni spec lower. skrin pun lower. jatuh still OK. Lumia 620 pun sama. both phone aku beli secondhand.
pun jatuh ok.

so my rumusan is : be careful with over RM 500 bajet phone. those OLED , HD Screen bla bla bla yang ni mmg cepat pecah dan retak.

kalau phone tu penting. banyak sms call Whatsapp (basic thing only) get lower spec phone.


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Sedikit tips <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

when u bought a secondhand phone and want test please test dengan GPS apps. kalau GPS tu macam not responding
its possible phone pernah jatuh atau rosak atau ada tukar parts.

Point is some ppl never replace their screen protector
