Protection of the smartphone screen is very important, because it is the glass of the phone that suffers first - from the fall of the gadget or when wearing it without a cover.
When purchasing even an inexpensive smartphone, it is worth buying accessories to protect it from damage. It is especially necessary to protect the smartphone screen, because if it is damaged, we will be deprived of the opportunity to use the device.
To protect the smartphone screen, most of us purchase a special film. And this is the right purchase, the screen in the protective film is less scratched, the risk of breaking it is also reduced. But there is another type of screen protector - glass.
Advantages of protective glass:
- Its resistance to mechanical damage is much higher than that of films. You can even try to scratch the highest quality glass with a knife or scissors, and there will be no marks on it. Also, the protective glass significantly reduces the risk of damage to the screen from shock loads.
- The protective glass lasts much longer than the protective film.
- Protective glass holds much better than similar film.
Disadvantages of protective glass:
- The price for such glass is higher than for film, but the film will have to be changed more often, which increases the cost of it.
- The protective glass slightly reduces the sensitivity of the phone's screen sensor, but in expensive smartphones this effect is less pronounced.
- The thickness of the phone after gluing the glass will be more than the thickness of the phone with the film.
What to choose - glass or film?
In my opinion, if an increase in the overall thickness of the smartphone is not essential for the user (and it is not large) and a slight decrease in the sensitivity of the sensor, it is worth choosing glass, because it protects the device much better from mechanical damage.
