Hi,
I am planning to buy Xperia t2 ultra dual.I liked its design and UI very much. But my doubt is regarding its screen.I have searched internet for many days just to find out about whether T2 ultra has gorilla glass or not.
I just want to know whether it has gorilla glass or any other.Is xperia T2 ultra's huge screen resistant to scratches? I hope its users can give me a satisfying reply.
If its not scratch resistant then how do you guys protect it from scratches?
I have also read someone saying that it is a fragile mobile not able to withstand tough handling,is it true?
How was your experience using T2 ultra?
It would be very helpful if you can give me a satisfying reply.
Hello,
Screen is not fully scratch resistant but it is fine. You can buy tempered glass for this device which helps to prevent and complete protection frim scratches and screen bricks.
Cost is only $2/3. There are some back panel protection glasses are also available in market, stop scratches on back panel.
I am using it since first day.
Full protection
Thank you , But just one more doubt
Sir, thank you for your reply.I just want to know whether it has gorilla glass or
Ofcourse It has corning Gorilla glass 3(Damage resistance glass) .
No it does not has a gorilla glass protection.That's why we use a tempered glass screenguard. It offers the same protection as gorilla glass

Oh thats confusing.!!
Sir, you see one of the member is saying it has gorilla glass and you are saying it doesn't?
This is the main problem i faced when i decided to buy this phone.Some say it has gorilla glass while others say it doesnt. So what is true?? I contacted customer care (Sony India) and it seems even they are not sure.Has anyone had any experience with the scratch resistant capabilities of T2 ultra's screen?
PS: I think sony should mention about the screen in their product description
Dude, in 1 line : don't worry about screen protection, it has and additionally u can use tempered glass without any touch performance issue. Buy or not its your desire
In current, Gorilla glass is not a mark to choose a device, it was in past years.

So does the xperia play have Gorilla Glass?
Sony Ericsson use their own Hardened Mineral Glass screens.
What the Xperia play has is a mystery though.
Some people say it's plastic, others say its possibly glass...

whatever it is, it's damn strong and pretty comparable to gorilla glass.
it passes all the scratch tests I've thrown at it, I'm a stickler when it comes to my screen strength. It lives in my pocket without a (additional?) screen protector
Honesty it ain't that tough. I used a xperia play also. My screen crack with just a drop. Cost me a 50buck for repair.

Did you remove the pre-installed film first? The film scratches easily, the mineral glass underneath does not.
By the way, it's mineral glass like what gets used on wristwatches. Not gorilla glass, not plastic.

I have been in contact with http://theglass-m.com
Here is the response I got "Xperia Z1 will have front and back tempered glass protector. Z1 glass protector is in production. If any news for Xperia Z1 or other. I will update you"
This is good news as the xperia z protectors were top notch. I will report back when I hear more news.
UPDATE
Just received this email
We have launched Xperia Z1 Tempered Glass Screen Protector. (Nano Slim 0.2mm)
http://theglass-m.com/products/glass-m-premium-tempered-glass-screen-protector-for-sony-xperia-z1
Sadly its only for the front right now but still 0.2 mm WOW
Ordered and will review
So Here is the review. Shipping took about 5 business days to receive. The packaging is nice and premium feeling. The glass is thin indeed, with a nice smooth feel to it. I previously had the Nikklin tempered glass on. They are both nice products but I would say the Glass-m has a better fit. It seems to cover a little more of the screen.
As with the Nikklin it fits fine in my charging dock. I have not yet received the back sheet of glass but I'm pretty sure once that is installed it will no longer fit in the dock. It seems to do a good job with fingerprints but only time will tell how long that lasts.
I will post pics once I get a chance
As promised here are some pics.
The first ones are the nikklin which I liked but the anti finger print coating wore off.
Then I removed the ASF
Then I applied the glas-m
The website says is't made of "Corning® Gorilla® Glass"
And on the product package it's says hardness of 9H.
But is Gorilla Glass 9H of not?
Gorilla Glass is reported to have a hardness of 7 (some say it is as high as 9. I've reached out to Corning for their "official" value, since they only use Vickers to measure hardness) in the Mohs scale, so any material with higher hardness, such as sand, diamond, or other minerals , will scratch your screen.

Sand have a hardness of 7H, so will sand scratch the glass?

I find all tempered glass can be scratched. I had them on my xperia Z for two moths and I would say they are very scratch resistant. I didn't have any noticeable scratches on them. I fond the back protect to take more of a beating since its always being placed on different surfaces. I like the Glass M because its cheap and fits good and yet the quality is equal to Spigen Glass-t. As for sand I would say it still a possibility to scratch the screen protector but stop rolling around on the beach with the phone in your pocket and you should be ok lol

Agree, almost tempered glass protectors are almost same,
Diamond (10H) -> Sapphire (9H) -> Tempered glass,
almost they wrote 8-9H, fact;
some wrote 9H, in fact maybe 8.x, just buy rounded tricks or for Ads.
Sands has random 2-10H, so, under sands, no tempered glass can avoid scratches yet.
Sapphire and Diamond can scratch Tempered Glass easily,
however, Tempered Glass cannot hurt Sapphire or Diamond.
(This is my understanding so far, any comments are welcome!)

Glass and sand are both at about 7H on the Mohs scale, sapphire is 9, diamond is 10.
These screen protectors use the pencil hardness scale in which 9H is about equal to 6.5~7 on the Mohs scale.
Oh~ Thanks!

I'll get this screen protector for my new xiaomi mi3, so thank for your review, you helped me to made my choice
This looks amazing!
I found one on eBay for 12€.. I might buy it.
Is there any downside from using this screen protector?
Thanks a lot.

Thank you for your amazing review!
No real downside other than you really have to do your best to apply it perfectly the first time. Very difficult to remove and reapply without getting it dirty.
Love how it feels, so smooth. I wish I got it sooner, before the Sony screen protector started getting scratches. Never using a film protector ever again.
My C6906 came with a nilkin glass screen protector when I bought it off of swappa, and using the way I typically apply screen protectors, using tape like a hinge to perfectly position the protector with, application took less than a minute. My only complaint is that the glass is not oleophobic, or at least isn't as oleophobic as I would like, although it doesn't get fingerprints all that easily, and a few wipes on your jeans should take care of it just fine.
i bought this screen protector for CNY 58 (about USD 9.5). Much better than any PET films I have seen.

Only downside is that come with with a PET back protector and I found the anti-fingerprint coating wore off faster than most, it's also is a bit small and doesn't cover the whole front wish it was more precise fitting.
If you apply this screen protector the Z1 will do not fit on your dock DK31.

You can safely place it over the Sony's protector. That's what I did in the video and it stayed on since than no problem.

It's recommended to do not remove the anti-shatter Sony protector so you can apply this Nillkin on it.

I have this Nillkin SP and it's the best SP I ever had, on all devices.
Perfectly slik and ultra durable...
I have it few months and not a one scratch.
But...
I bought front and back and I'm kinda disappointed because only front is real tempered glass, back one is just a plain SP...
It would be awesome to have back tempered glass as well.
And yeah...I applied it on top of Sony SP (had few little scratches on it) and it's perfect - can't see a single old scratch...

Nillkin Tempered glass cracked on its own!
I installed a Nillkin tempered glass a month ago. Recently, the screen just cracked on its own. No impact or poor handling whatsoever. I guess it is just poor quality product in premium packing. Really disappointed that such bad quality can come from Nilkin .....

I have been using Nillkin for a while now and have never experiences such problem. My first protector cracked after I dropped the phone face down on my desk. Now I am on my second one and it functions properly. Maybe you didn't align yours properly or you had a faulty unit.

Hi there.. I was considering buying the Nillkin glass, and I was wondering if you noticed any scuff marks or scratches on glass surface while using the DK31 magentic charger? (assuming you use one).
Thanks!

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,
DevStaff

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.

I have recently ordered a Find 7 and I am wondering if there are any avaliable tempered glass screen protectors from verified/trustworthy online retailers. I don't really have an exact preference of the 'type' of protector (e.g thinness of the glass or aesthetics), however I would be very thankful if anyone has more details about the tempered glass that they have brought from the retailers.

One tip: don't buy from a seller that provides relatively low price. I bought one on Ebay for $10.88 but it only comes with the glass itself, no original package.

Yes!:cyclops:
Also purchased the Nillkin temper glass. I've heard nothing but great reviews from users over at oppoforums.
There's a slight crack on the tempered glass protector and a lot of noticeable scratches after months of usage. I'm actually scared to take off the tempered glass now.
Thank you! Got the Nano Anti-burst Temper Glass
I'm using the "Original Zeroize 0.25 tempered glass screen protector" for a few months now and I still have not scratches in it!
It sticks very well and the appliance of it was very easy (I was positive surprised). Also it blocks the sunlight a bit which is good in shiny situations.
Bought the NIlkin when I first got the phone a few months ago. Dropped it on the stone floor at Medieval Times and completely shattered the screen protector. The screen protector did it''d job so I bought another one.
