Couldn't find any clear reference to it: does the Mi 5s have Corning glass (like Mi 5), or not?
thanks
It seems has Corning glass but I am not sure.
I used Honour 8 now I am using mi 5s. It seems that their screen touch feel almost the same.

Yes, gorilla glass 4 confirmed:good:
confirmed... where?
gsmarena reviewed the device recently and they say: "Unfortunately, Xiaomi didn't mention any specific glass protection for the screen and we can confirm the Gorilla Glass 4 is gone for good. The Mi 5s acquired lots of big scratches on top of its display just in the week we had it for a review. We suggest that you apply a screen protector on it as soon as you take the phone out of its box."

If you look at the review of Mi 5s, Mi 5s Plus, and Mi Mix. All of them use the same paragraph. It's like a copy paste job. So I'm wondering if they really do a proper tests on these phones.
Also on JerryRigEverything channel, he did a drop test Mi Mix (who ALSO mentioned no screen protection whatsoever in GSMarena spec) from sitting position, the crack on display was horrible.
I was wondering if Mi 5s would also fail with the same test. In that case, would a case/ screen protector save it?
it seems that the ceramic is harder than glass and because of that the glass breaks.

Think body of Mi 5s will be okay, but screen will shatter on smallest drop..

Following is a link to a durability test done on a Mi5, I'm assuming that this also valid for the Mi5s

As a new user I can't link to external sites, so please check youtube site and search for "Xiaomi Mi5 Bend Test - Scratch test - Burn test - Durability test" video was created by JerryRigEverything.

No it is not, because the Mi 5 uses a completly different Case and also different Glass.
Thats why people ask here because it is nowhere mentioned what glass it exactly is.
Got the Phone for my GF but seems like a sratches pretty fast. but I already have some on my S7E, so no difference.
Hi,
From several posts on the Xiaomi forum, it turns out that the mi5s Plus DOES NOT HAVE GORILLA GLASS but uses a in-house glass hardening from Xiaomi.
I now have the device since 3 weeks and use it as my daily drive.
I doesn't have tempered glass to protect it.
I do not take more than basic precautions (I don't put the phone in my pocket where I have my keys).
After 3 weeks : not a single scratch, even the tiniest one.
Regards.
Hello! My Lenovo P1 fell in water. When I opened it in order to clean it from water I broke a black plastic part that is used to secure the LCD digitizer cabling.
Do you know if I can find a replacement for this??
pictures please, I'm not sure which black plastic part you meant...
Hi everyone, i broke the screen of my phone (mi A2 lite)
The only video that i could find to replace my screen was this one : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRE6Dc93zvY
(Redmi 6 Pro is another name for the a2 lite)
The screen seems to be just below the motherboard and it seems extremely difficult to replace it !
Am i missing something ?
Any help will be very useful, i really like this phone !
Thanks a lot in advance,
Samt434
That video is your best guide currently. Yes you will have to remove the motherboard and battery to replace the screen.
Make shure you get the full display assembly including the frame like here. Then you only have to follow the instructions from the video. Hope youre successfull!
Hello I have changed my display according to video and almost erverything works like it should be...
Everytime I recive or make a phone call display goes down, and It doesn't light on.
Have I done something wrong? I've moved all components to new display ( according to video ).
Tanks

Used the video to replace my screen, thank you !
I don't have the same problem as you, light going down during phone call.

Sounds like a proximity sensor issue to me... Check if you plugged correctly all the flat cables.
I had a Mi A2 Lite for screen replacement yesterday. Check if you placed the rubber part which goes around the sensor correctly. There s a very small part which you need to align correctly or your sensors get covered.
Numb digtizer
Hey Guys,
Also tried to fix my a2 lite. Now some time after the repair I noticed, that my digitizer is unresponsive in a 1cm wide row in the middle of the screen. Everything else works perfectly fine.
Do you have any ideas of the course of this? My suggestions are:
The Tape i used to glue he battery back in was to thick and now is pressuring the screen.
I did not connect to the cable correctly
The screen was broken before
Do you have an other idea? the
Is the A23 Lite supposed to have gorilla glass or something similar? Bought oen second hand where the seller said he had it replaced professionally, but I recently slightly bumped it, and it already cracked. Making me think its one of those cheap fakes from China.

Gorilla glass is scratch resistant, not hit and bump resistant...

Not true whatsoever, I had many phones with it and they survived many hits and bumps, this one cracked at the slightest tap already, in fact, I actually accidentally did it again and it cracked again at a different spot, and it was barely hit even. It's definitely cheap glass.

I know this is old but did you ever get it sorted out? I ran into the same issue when I replaced my screen. However I followed this guide and the sensor works as it should.
I was able to buy a new A2 Lite screen & frame for $20. I just swapped everything into the new frame by following the video in the first post (as well as Googling for other tear downs). Process was fairly easy...just made sure I watched and understood which part was which. Actually, the hardest part was getting the battery out. When I was pulling the tape out it broke and kept the battery secured very, very well. Anyway, took about an hour but now I have a perfectly good phone again!
Thanks for sharing the link in the first post to get me started.
I just screw up my mi a1 screen, if you can kindly recommend good options for screen replacement please

I bought this to replace mine and it's indistinguishable from the original. Just not gorilla glass. But none of the aftermarket ones have it anyway. Button lights work and10 touch.
He even ships it with a free glass protector for you to install.

No Gorilla Glass on this one, probably it will crack after a while (lot of comments about that). You need to buy some screen protection asap.
Better to buy an original one that comes with Gorilla glass.
Yes I agree. I mentioned it if you wanted something cheap. It doesn't have gorilla glass and there might be some light bleed from physical buttons.
If you want the REAL original parts I would go with

You don't need a heatgun if you purchased the screen with frame.
The problem is that I cannot find any guide that does it with the tool provided. I would be grateful if I could ask you in private message for some doubts that I have.
Thanks
I bought a copy a few months ago from AliExpress. Mounted last week. One drop from very low distance to the floor and it cracked. Very disappointed.

Agree, only dragon-tt gave me satisfaction, I tried eBay and aliexpress I've been really disappointed by the quality of the assembly (screen+frame)
Yes, one thing that I noticed straight away when I removed the original screen to put the new one is that aliexpress' copy was thinner and looked very fragile. I used b-7000 glue and it fitted perfectly with not light leaks. But in the end not so strong...one small drop and it cracked. With the original I had multiple drops for almost two years from more height with no cracks.
Huawei has been unusually mute about the glass it uses on the Mate 20 series of phones.
Has anyone any accurate and reliable information?
I suspect that my phone, (the Pro) uses Corning Gorilla glass, version 5 but there's no way of finding out for sure.
V5 like the others have. -> https://refme.me/huawei-mate-20-faqs-nfc-gorilla-glass-ir-blaster-fast-charging/
It seems to be the same like the 20 pro has. -> https://refme.me/huawei-mate-20-pro-faqs-nfc-ir-blaster-waterproof-design/
Don't forget to press the thank's button
whatever most of us use screen protect glass
