Hi everybody
Excuse me, why does it say that this phone is weak?
I searched on the internet
"What is the resistance of Gorilla Glass Victus 2"
And I noticed that its rating is 8-10
why do you say this phone is weak?

    Anonymous, 09 Feb 2023I would not dare to use such a big phone without protector.... moreI did have a screen protector in 2018, but after 1 year it slipped off, I carried on (cautiously) without it, checking each day, & I realised that the GG5 had great resistance to micro scratches.
    I've been using care free ever since with no problems.

    So yeah, probably best to install a protector when brand new & listen out for feedback to decide whether to replace it when it fails.

    You will definitely need a screen protector for the original GG Victus (1), it scratches!

    GG Victus+, & Victus 2 should be fine without a screen protector (as long as you don't work in construction where 360° dust tight protection is needed) just monitor for any micro scratches from your day to day, and ALWAYS use a case.

      Well. You must treat it as your baby. You pay for it extra money.

          "scratches at level 8 and deeper grooves at level 9."

          I am curious to see JerryRigEverything reaction for this phone.

          "Samsung has made battery replacements a fair bit easier thanks to the included pull tabs."

          Now I definitely need to see his reaction. Maybe this is the phone that can make him upgrade to.

            cyber, 09 Feb 2023the heat transfer has nothing to do with the battery glue, ... morebut it has another purpose that plastic covering the battery can issolate heat even if it small.heat from lcd+frame affect battery little.
            thats why when you see modern phone the battery temp always low when even playing games

                It's great that it scratches at level 8. It's very durable.

                            What, 09 Feb 2023100%. Samsung is a scam. >1440 screen bad

                            Yawn

                              Anonymous, 09 Feb 2023Pretty sure the sapphire screen on that model was only avai... moreNope
                              It was available in Europe, i literally played with one in the stores in my town when it first came out
                              The reason why sapphire never became popular is because it's too expensive
                              I clearly remember the sapphire version being roughly 200€ more expensive than the normal variant
                              With the utterly ridiculous prices we have these days, the S23 ultra would have been like 2000€ if it had a sapphire screen

                                    Bigmeme, 09 Feb 2023Wtf is a quantum dot blue oled 🤣🤣 And why do you need 4k ... more4K is unnecessary? So why is samsung planning to use on S25 ultra? Lets see when it comes ppl suddenly chance their opinions.

                                    This should be on galaxy S already. But obviously gonna be sold to Sony and BBk way before samsung mobile even cosiders the idea.

                                        9/10?
                                        So I guess scoring has been adjusted to match recent times of sealed and not ready to repair phones.
                                        A few years back that might have only been a 6 or 7.
