          And the guy who does the machine drop test are not reliable.

But have you watch youtube? from drop test, hammer test or others we can clearly see the improvement except from stratch.

I took the example of one of the most popular Nokia phones today, the G11 plus and G21 on GSMArena, there is no gorilla glass and when I checked the nokia website it says "toughened glass"

                              Gorilla glass is useless, mega marketing drive, it scratches so easily doesn't matter if it's what advanced variant it is.

                              You have to always use the phone with screen protector.

                                Zuzuz, 14 Aug 2022Exactly! How come that the tempered glass that cost 2-3$ do... moreI didn't say it won't be scratched, it just will be cheaper but make it thicker to at least make it able to be drop resistant.
