    This is honest to goodness one of the very best comparisons I have ever watched for these 3 types of screen protectors. It has in all honesty opened my eyes to the reality of no matter what you use your phone will still get damaged depending on the force of impact that it will endure. Thanks for this, wonderfully done

    Test shows all of them will protect your screen from light scratches only. But i need to add, especially for samsung phones about the sensitivity when it comes to bioemetrics. Regular tempered glass won't scan your finger prints.

    • @kelbinhow
      @kelbinhow 10 місяців тому

      Yeah, if you really want glass to protect Samsung's ultrasonic reader, instead of the hydrogel/ceramic ones, your only hope is to use a UV glass protector. Those are not 100% comparable to tempered glass because they're really thin, but it does work with the ultrasonic sensor and it's better against scratches than the hydrogel/ceramic

    Depending on the impact angle, the purpose of the screen protector is to reduce the chances of your phone glass screen being broken too easily when under normal impact. It is still better to have one (but not the Hydrogel type because if it does not break, the impact energy will transfer to the phone screen). Hopefully, the screen protector will break first before your phone screen breaks.

      I have tried tempered a few times and it ends up disappointing me in touch screen sensitivity and how well it adheres to the display. I just stick with tpu films now and I feel no reason after lots of research to switch back to tempered.

      "Glass only breaks when the force of impact finally overcomes the surface compression. A scratch doesn’t shatter glass, but small stresses will eventually lead to it shattering."
      With a drop a "small amount of elastic energy in the glass is converted into acoustic energy", the noise you hear, and the "majority of the elastic energy stored in the glass will be converted into two - or more - new surface energy."
      If your screen is getting micro scratches, a new light force from a drop may meet up, run near, parallel to micro scratches, and your glass break.
      It is worse if a "dent micro scratch" dink has the start of running line cracking. Ever get a chip in a windshield, it looks OK, but leaving your car in hot weather cracks it out?
      That chip dink had running crack lines.
      My opinion of screen protectors is they protect the glass from micro scratches. It's not the energy they absorb over the screen.
      And that scratch protection helps the screen.

    The thing is hydrogel lasts longer than glass tempered or ceramic. I been using hydrogel for 3 years not even changing it to new one and drol my phone for how many times. By the way im using a71 5g. And yea still it didnt got any problem it only makes dark the hydrogel but still the rwspknse on the screen is 100% perfect. And hydrogel is not easy to find in most of walk in physical store. Available only in amazon or other online store

    Hydrogel: Not Durable but good if you have sweaty hands.
    T. Glass: Very Durable and can protect your LCD Screen but can leave finger print, scratch, broken glass and has a very bad performance against sweaty fingers.
    Ceramic: Cannot be shattered but also cannot quite protect the LCD screen from impact, has a very smooth surface that will satisfy gamers.
