The GG5 scratching easily has been debunked. Quite a few times.
And the only phone with GG5 was the Note7. Correlation doesn't equal causation.
GG5 does in fact scratch easily.
I work outside on sometimes really filthy vehicles. I've dropped my Note 7 out of vehicles a few times, which has resulted in a few small nicks in the screen, something that NEVER happened with my Note 4.
I also have quite a few hair scratches from something as insignificant as dirt on my hands from those dirty vehicles. Again, something that has never happened on my other Samsung devices.
Someone making a video showing a consistent increase in scratches in relation to increasing hardness of picks, then correcting it with some bs excuse does not necessarily debunk the GG5 softness. Why would someone make a follow-up correction video for a test he has done consistently on many different devices?
I trust my personal experience over internet videos.
GG5 glass does scratch easily.
