Note 7 Gorilla Glass

[beh]

It would seem that Scottie needs to beam down and give Samsung the formula for transparent aluminum.

Well, why don't they make their screens shatter-proof? Hard to believe that with all the hi-faluting technology we find on phones today shatter-proof glass is not one of the items we find.

Sure... The Moto z force offers a shatterproof screen... If it is a must have for you


Most would prefer a glass screen though which is what Samsung is providing

The day we get sapphire screens will be nice. I have banged my sapphire watch crystals so many times I have lost count. Nary a scratch.

Downside... very expensive material.

One can hope!

Curves are such a bad idea

If you think so there are many other models without then such as older notes or the S7 .

 

[recDNA]

I already have an older Note. Gonna get a case and Asurion and hope for the best

What ever glass they have on the S7 and S7 edge is pretty soft and scratches real easy. I call it Baby Glass.

Gorilla Glass 5 is nothing more than marketing fluff at it's best.

Yeah the trade off for plastic is AWFUL screen quality. I would rather just get a good case than have a screen that looks like crap lol.

Of course there is shatterproof phones! My Galaxy S7 Active has a beautiful glass screen that is shatterproof because of the polycarbonate layer that was added above it that you can't even notice is on there.

I believe they added that to help but I don't remember them saying shatterproof like the Droid. That's the difference in screen quality of a real shatterproof phone.

From Samsung's own description:

Engineered to be shatter-resistant, the Galaxy S7 active gives you extra protection, making the occasional fumble, stumble or drop nothing to worry about. https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...t-green-camo-sm-g891azgaatt%2F&token=h5vDjddf

It doesn't get anymore shatter resistant, basically shatterproof:

It survived multiple drops from varied heights and even a 400 foot drop!

And 50 drops straight onto concrete here.

Actually, while sapphire watch crystals are more scratch resistant than mineral crystals, sapphire crystals will shatter more easily. I am curious about GG5, because although they mention it is less likely to break, I haven't heard anything about GG5 scratch resistance. In that regard GG3 was better than GG4.

I never understand people flipping out over shattered glass. It's glass, it can break. Until a company labels and makes it shatterproof, it's gonna happen.

Right on i can never understand it either it isn't a surprise that it is glass so expect it

 

[coolbreeze78]

People just "testing" (I.e. abusing) display models. It's normal.

 

[mantaka]

Any one know if Note 7 will have Galaxy care? Atm i see only S7 and S7E on the page in my country
