Ajith Reddy, 04 Dec 2022Im not much concerned about cracking my display as I handle... moreExactly. I am not worried about the glass breaking but more how easily it gets scratched without any screen protector. The best balance (up until today) is GG3 where it doesn't get scratched easily compared to any latest GG models.

It's why budget smartphones with replaceable battery's are so reliable
But at end Smartphones made of glass just are so fragile & brittle
Personally when I think of a high end smartphone the first smartphone that comes too mind is the gaming smartphone from Nubia red magic or Lenovo legion with good quality hardware and engineering
Above all else I just don't want glass too be used on smartphones at all
Plastic touch screens are fine and are much more suitable for smartphones it's the ideal choice then glass
The glass build problem on smartphones shouldn't even exist but in this silly industry glass is chosen for durability and trying too make it durable but it's glass this is just not going to happen
Metal just dent's and overheating as metel and as metal is often heavy adds unnecessary weight bigger battery adding additional weight makes sense but metal less so
Metal does look nice but as too be covered and wrapped in plastic screen protector & plastic case too keep it safe
Plastic can be liked too and look nice and there can even be colour opinions but it's psychology that is the problem with it most of us just like metal for some reason or another

While plastic touchscreen is somehow horrible
I can just imagine touching and viewing a plastic display of my 14 pro max and s22 ultra
But in the end I guess it comes down to personal preference

Rotciv Ikias, 04 Dec 2022You can't deny the fact glass and aluminium is more pr... moreThe problem is with the way we see plastic
aluminium stainless & glass are fine too have if u prefer them but there too expensive too make Smartphones out of and worse than plastic
The front of a smartphone the touch screen is where a smartphone is at it's most vulnerable too damage
definitely should be made of plastic the touch screen the most important part of a smartphone too should be made out of plastic
glass touch screens are a terrible Idea shouldn't have ever been Thought of for use on smartphones
Am not anti metal or steel aluminium or alternatives
Having on the frame & back of a smartphone is ok
But touch screen made of plastic is clearly best
But I think all plastic touch screen frame
body build should be the default choice for flagships & rugged phones should be made of pure plastic
Plastic is a lot better than the others
it feels squishy and soft and bendly
Yeah it feels cheap but supposed too it is cheap too make and buy but I prefer it over anything else because it's reliable & durable

There's no point in using advanced glass technology if manufacturers keep making curved glass which presents a vulnerability.

kek, 04 Dec 2022People here and in other sites moaned and complained about ... moreYes this is what happened
Tech industry and reviewer's had people think metal & glass is premium and premium is better because it's a more expensive too make making it better
Cheap & cheerful squishy plastic we are told is because it's cheap too produce and pops open and is bendly so it's bad
A TFT LCD plastic touch screen & plastic frame & body made with with cheapest bargain basement plastic right out of the China factory is ideal for durability & being reliable
Often what happens is it bends or pops open snap the back on unbend the plastic back Into place charge the battery or whatever and your good too go
All medal and glass build is too rigged its just way too easily smashed screen or dented and broken and can't be opened or repaired
The problem the market went in the wrong direction
Plastic is cheaper & superior
but most people
want there flagships made out of metal & glass

"We also asked about screen protectors. Corning isn’t against them, but Forester tells us that phones with Gorilla Glass are designed to survive without extra protection, so protectors are not a must-have."
Absolutely not. Use a screen protector at all times.

Smartphone glass has been tough enough since the iPhone 6s, you can see the difference from the iPhone 6 to the 6s in the TechRax video. Yes, this is not a drop, but it can show that there is an increase.

WOW 😳 GSMArena staff really chatting with Gorilla??
On serious note, if you people want toughest glass that don't break or shattered. Go find out what is ALUMINUM GLASS. This thing really do exist and NASA already used it. Light weight, stronger than any known glass out there. Heck even stronger than diamond.
