Remember when the Note7 miserably failed the scratch test? Turns out it was inconclusive

10 October 2016
Just under two months ago, YouTuber JerryRigEverything released a video for the Galaxy Note7 regarding the durability of its glass. If you recall, the Gorilla Glass 5 scratched starting with the level 3 pick of Mohs hardness scale. This even provoked Corning to reassure that Gorilla Glass 5 is the same, if not more scratch resistant than Gorilla Glass 4 as per the company’s own laboratory testing.

Z5 User india, 12 Oct 2016What the honesty? Why he took time till the 7 is dead now?... moreThe honesty in spending effort, money and time questioning his own results to get it right, even for a discontinued product, that, as stated in the video, took some more time to get hold of. It had been so easy to go "meh, it's discontinued" but it hadn't been all that honest.

    What the honesty? Why he took time till the 7 is dead now?
    Deliberately done

          Worry about being sued by Samsung?
          Only Note 7 uses GG5, no one else?
          Isn't very strange?

              So basically all the bad publicity of the early days wasn't true... so even when he admits his fault, the damage is still done, loses credibility... at least the good thing is that Samsung doesn't have to explain why use CGG5 in the next flgaship :)

                          The scratch problem was for everyone while fire problem is for a few people.

                            Very reassuring, now when you look at your burned out glass on your Note 7 you can say with confidence,"hahah, cant scratch my display, even if my Note 7 still had a display, victory!". Maybe you can end the sentence with "Apple is so dead when CG6 is out, explosion proof"

                              This post is worthless as it does nobody any good. Ok so the your note 7 won't scratch but will explode in your pocket and probably kill or injure you. Samsung should give up already and concentrate on making tvs or other stuff that won't explode

Cheap taste to put down competitors in the market....without Samsung Mobile industry will be still hitting the hard Nokia buttons for a very long time for a big premium!
