hi guys, sorry for the question not related to android development, but I would like to but the xperia T and wanted to know if inside the phone box I will find one screen protector already, or I have to buy it separately..
I remember I bought a sony for my girlfriend time ago (xperia mini pro) and it did include one protector, so maybe sony always put one screen protector inside the box?
thanks in advance bye and sorry for stupid question
The T has a screenprotector applied out of the box, so you don't have to apply one yourself. Afaik all xperia devices have this.

wow that's great thanks a lot for the answer my friend!!
The only problem is , some people dont know it , song claims it is a scratch proof glass ,yes it is, but most people still see Scratch's because the shatter proof sheet is of plastic, and that does scratch. So just to be clear ,its not really a screen protector, it's a shatter proof sheet I've a screen protector on it , with anti oil coat , so the finger prints won't stay and it always looks clean just a hint

Hi, I been using screen protectors for my x8. However in gsmarena it says the following about the x8:
Protection: Scratch-resistant glass

So do I really need to keep on using a screen protector? I like it better without a screen protector

Its a total lie.
Our phone has Scratch-resist surface, but not a scratch-resist screen.
I would definitely recommend one. I haven't used a screen protector, got a big scratch and really regret not having used one.
Buy one in the beginning and save being furious after the first big scratch

I dont understand, whAT DOES the "scratch resistant screen" supposed to mean?
definitely use a screen protector! the x8 screen is hardly scratch resistent at all. just put it in a bag together with some keys and you will end up ruining your beautiful screen.

Well, everyone knows that puting a phone freely inside a bag plus keys and other stuff is a bad idea. Even if you had a screen protector, you probably had to end up buying another because they can also get scratches

Actually an operator in my country gave away in the past some protectors that looked just like condoms but with no lub. It was mainly to take the phone to the beach (with a knot on the condom).
It was pretty hilarious xD

I think it's some type of mistake on Gsmarena site about x8's scratch resistant display. Because some people claimed, that when they removed the screen protector because of this arcticle , they experienced scratches later anyway.
I have used x8 before recently changed to xperia active.i myself haven't test something like that video.
On the specification says :
Scratch resistant
Yes it's scratch resistant
But it's not scratch proof right
Xperia active screen is using ashahi's dragontrail mineral glass
It's almost the same technology that corning gorilla glass using
Take a look at the end of the video, Xperia active screen got scratch by the wrench

Is capacitive touch works well with screen protectors? as to my knowledge it is not.
I use a leather case for my X8 which i got from ebay for $2.5 or so.
great! this will be my next phone.
the screen size similar to x8.

The Xperia Z has many features, this is one of them:
The Xperia Z features tempered glass and anti-shatter film on the front and back, and high levels of dust and water resistance.

Your son scratched a plastic surface.
Take it off, buy a screen protector, and replace.
The xperia z has a glued on anti shatter film that you can remove and replace with any screen protector of your choice. The only downside is that you lose the Sony logo
Press thanks if I have helped

Yeah it's only the anti shatter film. But if you do remove it you will loose the Sony logo. Some people find that a plus. Also some reporting more responsive screen.

Why the Sony logo does not come pressed on the screen but in the film?
Screen Technology?

This. This is my guess. Sony doesn't have a history of cheating so I doubt that's the reason now.

In another forum, a guy said he was part of screen technology, which because it is thin, it would be impossible to press the Sony logo.
He had posted a picture explaining!
Yeah really hate the fact the Sony logo is pressed on the film. It's the only reason why I haven't removed mine. I have a hard enough time already telling which way is the right way up. Just hope we don't see another omnibalace design from Sony. The bottom bezel looks much bigger than it should be.
I prefer on screen buttons but I thought that was meant to help reduce the chassis. Maybe Sony was absent at that meeting because the Z is certainly taller than it needs to be.

If you look closer, you'll notice it has symmetrical proportions, so i guess sony guys had that on their minds... ZL is living prof that extra dimensions are here just cause pure esthetics. My only complain... they could have put larger battery also then...

I cant find anywhere on the net if the xperia logo on the back is pressed into the glass or the 'shatter-proof film'...the reason I ask is that I have protected my screen, but the back has small scratches. Ide hate to loose the xperia logo in an effort to renew its original luster with a new film...anyone know?
The Xperia logo in thw back doesn't come out while removing the film.

Check with your country's sony store if removing asf does void warranty before removing it.
Since Sony doesn't want people to remove the screen protector is there any type of anti fingerprint coding on it? I mean If I remove the screen protector will the screen be nice to use or will it just get all smudged in fingerprints that are impossible to remove?

No coating, just straight glass...but I'd recommend getting a matt finish (anti smudge) screen protector if u are going to remove.. Or unless ur screen is already scratched, simply apply it over the top of the factory one. Couldnt personally tell a difference in responsiveness by doing so.

Hi,
Yeah ok I haven't searched if there's a thread on this (if so, don't worry Mods I'll close it). Quick question,
Those with the white Sony Xperia Z, Do you use a case and screen protector? I'm worried my XZ will change color in my jeans or black trousers... I'm particularly worried in the sides. Sony's quality is much better than HTCs so im just worried as im an ex HTC user.
Am I just worried over a silly matter or is it a problem?
Edit - They give us a screen protector... Do they know something we dont?
Thanks all.
Just got it today and im looking to port Sense 5.0 to it

I've not seen many white XZ around Rome. But from what I've read on some forum that the only part slightly sensitive to external colours is the plastic around the glass. But it can be removed just washing it, nothing permanent seems... :good:

That's because there is a factory-applied anti-shatter film on top of the glass which is easier to scratch than the glass is (obviously), so they provide the screen protector because of anticipated higher demand of it.

You can rest easy on this one. I've had mine since the day 3 launched it on their network. No screen protector and no case, although I have a Poetic stand type case for watching videos but that's only been used twice, and not a scratch on the glass or a colour out of place. The only thing I would say is watch the plastic trim around the sides, luckily on the white one its hard to notice but of you drop it a few times the surface comes off.
Mines been dropped off a ladder at work onto concrete, fallen out my pocket whilst mountain biking and been run over by another bike, it's been pressure washed (although the little water sensor things did all turn red at that point) and it's been stood on.
I've never seen a phone that holds up this well to abuse since the old Nokia 3310.

Good evening!
I have a Z without any protection film. I have noticed than in some angels or in direct contact with strong light i have TINY TINY scratches on my screen. So my question is: Is there any way of removing scratches from my device? Polish for.example?
Answers will me much appriciated !
Sorry for bad English ..
There should be a shatter proof screen protector already applied on. It came with the phone like that, so you most likely scratched that not the glass itself. Just remove that and apply a screen protector on.

Be aware,when removing factory foil,Sony logo removed as well...
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
No way to remove the scratches if they are on the shatter proof shield. It's made of plastic.
If you remove it, though, you will lose the Sony logo because it is printed on the plastic, rather than on the body of the phone.
I have removed the pre-applied protector from sony Its the glass itself that have tiny scratches ..

Do you still have the SONY logo at the front of your screen??
If you don't then: Well it's your own fault, you asked for it by not using a screen protector.
I don't think we're all on the same page. He could have removed the layer that came with it (with words on it like instructions) and then there's another layer that has the Sony logo.
Like what the above person said,
if you do not have a Sony logo at the front top then you scratched the glass.
If you have the Sony logo at the front top then you scratched the pre installed layer. (this one you can remove and install a new screen protector) if you choose to remove this layer, the Sony logo will be gone. And some say it will void your warranty.

Like i said in the OP i have no protector on it. That obviously includes the pre-installed (with sony logo) one to. I know i have scratched the glass and thats why i am asking if there is any way to get rid of it, like you do on CD`s , cars , etc
If the scratch not too deep on the glass. U may want read this for polishing tempered glass. Hope helps

Hello there. Is it wise to remove Sony's Screen protector and then replacing it with a tempered glass screen protector? Why or why not?
Thanks.

Just add amazon [.] com in front of it. Thanks.
I bought my phone used and it had some small scratches on the front side so I did exactly what you describe.
It feels "smoother" now. If you still have warranty you might not want to do it though.
Maybe you missed this thread, which has excellent information on the topic.
