sweet!
this is amazing!!!!
LMAO @ siri when answered "i don't know the answer to this question"

Thanks for correcting. Should have googled "xda youtube post" first before betting the preview was just having some issues.

haha pay €600 for an iPhone 4S and you drop it and look what happens

wtf?
but ... nice test!

that's what insurances are for

That test heavily depends on how it lands on the surface but lack of mass and metal should help with transferring some of the impact
I've made a post in the SGS2 forum but i've dropped my phone without a case several times already and it took some damage on the casing where it hit the asphalt/concrete surfaces multiple times but no cracked screens yet

that's the whole reason why Samsung choose plastic over metal case
makes it more crash resistant by default, in addition to the gorilla glass
however... there's another truth not many site has reviewed or shown.
the sudden heat/cold change can shatter the gorilla lass on the Galaxy S phones easily
of course that will apply to almost anything else as well.

fun video 10char

absolutely brilliant !

lol! thats whats insurance is for

Yes, because everyone chooses a phone looking at the drop tests. Let's get a Nokia 5210 then

Awesome! I'm always dropping my phone lol

Sandwich of two pieces of glass and a tiny strip of metal isn't my definition of "durable and tough".
Samsung chose plastic over metal because it is just better. I've dropped Omnia 7 (only one of two in Latvia) and the glass shattered, however Galaxy S and Ace are more resistant.

Yeah they are samsung did a great job designing their devices to take a hit. My captivate has fallen down two flights of stairs and all it did was crack the slider where the charger plugs in didn't even scratch the screen.
The old iPhones could take a drop much better than the 4s, I've watched my brother drop his face first a few times, it was the 3gs, and never did more than chip the edge. Then he bought the original iphone 4 and shattered the screen the first week.
Sorry to hear about your omnia, thats a tough break with only 2 in the country.

the topic is not about who created a flat screen smartphone/tablet first, nor about apple vs android, there's already a topic for that here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1246779

Okey guys, please stay on topic. And keep it civil and a nice place in here. Thanks.

What is the crystal made from?

Does any member have any information regarding the Gears watch Crystal? I doubt it is sapphire glass but ponder if its Corning Gorilla. I ask as I notice some third party brands are already offering screen savers? On a watch though? I can say this with no hesitation if the glass is not strong I will be numero uno to bust it. All my watches have a sapphire crystal for this reason.
What happens when that strap wears out? It appears an integral part of the watch and non replaceable? Again any one know what the strap is made from?
I think in all my years of purchasing technology this is my first without actually seeing the device. Still a fool is soon parted from his money so that's why I am broke again!:silly:
Thanks in advance,

I do hope you are correct. sapphire glass rates only second to diamond in terms of hardness. Sapphire glass costs a fortune though! How the heck have Samsung managed to fit a sapphire glass that size when the glass alone would cover the total cost of the watch?
Why are Samsung so secretive about the specs. I still cannot find 'an official' spec from Samsung that has this information in writing?
No need for screen saver with sapphire glass that a given. I do hope you are correct.:good:
Regards.

Bulk purchasing power, that is how Samsung manages it plus they are likely not making anything off version 1.0 so they can get more sales on the Galaxy Note series they are tied into.

Guess I beat you guys to it.. :|

This is one of those occasions where I hate to be proved correct. I thought sapphire was too good to be true.

No confrontation from me at all when I ask where you got that information from? The safety booklet that comes in the box in SOME countries, not this one, says; Glass or acrylic?
How could it be Glass or acrylic, its either one or the other and if Samsung don't know who does?
Again, I would question Coning glass as mine already has minute marks on the glass and I treat my watches with the greatest care and respect, I collect them.
Agggggga, cant we find a definitive answer to this?
Thanks for your input though. Please do let us know where this information comes from.

Nothing official then or printed on a Samsung site? Reps will and do say anything. I have no idea where your rep got his info' from?
The warranty book that comes in the box in most countries states the crystal is made from Glass or acrylic? Don't ask I have no idea.
One chap I asked said the crystal was "Some sort of glass and the camera lens is acrylic"?
Absurd not being able to ascertain such basic information in writing from Samsung. I have now put mine back in its box until some screen savers arrive. I don't want to risk scratching that large screen, would detract from the looks.

Same with me. Add to the lack of consumer knowledge regarding the crystal I am seeing more and more posts regarding the lens misting up.
This has been due to perspiration. I live in the hottest country in Europe and just a walk to the post box can make one sweat especially under ones watch. My concern is that lens plus those bare contacts, will they short out? No exposed electronics like moisture!
Have got to the point where I am just not using the watch, I just don't need this hassle-worry right now. Like many others I have a waiting list of problems and a wrist watch will have to join the end of a long list of far high prioritise.
Best wishes.

I have a few micro scratches on my watch face now. I had a cheap screen protector on it for all of last week and I removed it Saturday because I thought that the glass was sapphire. Well it must not be, because I wiped the dust off of the face with my shirt and now I have a few scratches. They are very small but I can see them in the right lighting.

Hi, From posts I am reading it certainly appears the crystal is not sapphire. At this price I thought it impossible even though a few posters assured me it was sapphire.
I have already re ordered some screen savers BUT screen savers on a watch? The problem is the crystal is raised so will attract every tiny mark as yours has done. Add this to the camera misting up, the clasp being the most unreliable type of design possible, poor IP protection and the Gear is already a hard ware nightmare.
I will probably be purchasing the Sony 11 when it arrives here as already I am seeing in some other countries the price has dropped.
Overall I suspect the gear was rushed into production without research and development just to try and be the first of its type on the market regardless of some very poor design faults. On this occasion Samsung has not impressed me.
Oh BTW, why has Samsung introduced the Note 3 some weeks ago yet we are still waiting to see any official Samsung accessories like the numerous covers we have been promised? I think Samsung has feelings or grandeur and is due a fall. Did you know all Note 3 are region locked and Samsung is about to do this with the S4 etc?
No idea why a brand would deliberately alienate its customer base like this.
I am still unable to ascertain from Samsung what the crystal is actually made from.
Kind regards.

I don't even think the watch face is crystal at all. It feels like some degree of plastic in all honesty. You would expect crystal to feel hard and cold which this doesn't. I have Omega and other Swiss watches and their faces feel a lot better. I wouldn't get your hopes up that the face is made up of quality components. Its price is just too low for that.

Indeed so. Your Omega will 99% certain be sapphire though a very few have another type of watch crystal. The term 'crystal' is watch trade jargon for the glass. Though I am NOT in the watch trade my family has been for over 100 years. I also collect watches.
One kind poster here replied that the booklet he received inside his Gear box actually had written " glass-acrylic" That threw me for a complete loop as its either one or the other. I have asked my family and to their knowledge there is not a hybrid glass acrylic watch crystal?
The point that rather puzzles and disappoints me is when I asked Samsung in writing what the crystal was made of they replied that I had asked an "inappropriate question"? What on earth does that mean and why all the secrecy?
Another poster has said the crystal is made from Corning Gorilla glass 111, I requested his source for this information but to date no reply?
WE should be informed so we can take the level of care needed depending on the materials used. My other grave concern is the very low Ingress protection. This is first and foremost a wrist watch and needs to function to a certain degree of robustness and water protection OR the b++++y gear is as useful as boobies to a Nun!
Such potential yet so much of it seems incomplete?
Kind regards.

My Casio protrek and Suunto watch crystals are way more robust than these. And I have actually had zillions of mishaps with the protrek. Not a single scratch yet, nor in the Crystal nor the titanium band.

What are the advantages of gorilla glass 4 over 3?

my memory isn't 100% but I think Corning said (at their CES booth in the main hall) that the only device available with GG 4 was a samsung device(s). it probably can easily be researched online though.

Advantages? Bragging rights.
The number is just part of their marketing. They bump it up occasionally because it gives the impression that something is advancing. There is no detectable difference. Maybe the manufacturing yields are better. End result is that FOR YOU, there is no difference.

Beware Note4's Screen protection

Hi all,
For those of you cares about scratches on your screen; you'd better put on a screen protector.
Upon noticing a tiny little one centimetre scratch on my phone I am outraged to find that it is no where to be found in the listed Official $am$ung Specifications for this phone, the Corning Gorilla Glass 4 announced on 20/Nov/2014, as a feature.
As a matter of fact that such protection mechanism is of right now industry wide standard practice. And as to why I find a tiny little scratch on my phone is evidence that $am$ung did not employ a proper screen protection on this massively expensive cellphone MADE CHEAPLY.
As a result those of you who might not be aware should check to see if your cellphone's screen contains little to many scratches. At least with my cellphone I find that the screen protection was inadequate due to this scratch. To bring all of you reading this to the attention of my phone being "Made in Vietnam"; could it be a reason why $am$ung did not include and mention Corning Gorilla Glass 4 in its specifications website. Such a product is a shame for $am$ung to announce the release to its consumers. The fact is now clear that $am$ung's Note4 is a overpriced product with incompetent design and after sales services, ie, firmware update delay and rumours in the media. Evidently, as seen on this forum there were clones and fakes of this cellphone which degrades the name and value of it to the lowest in comparison to other major companies and brands of smartphones and tablets.
Further more to this outrage upon less then three months (since 17/Oct/2014) of the release of Note 4, it has already made news the new Note 5 is coming soon.
This is almost like that $am$ung has admitted that this Note 4 is an utter failure and would kindly likely to stop production and support of any of its variants in favour of a New Market segment to the new Note 5. This is all nothing but to drain the global economy on a massive scale of smartphone markets and buyers. As a propaganda of the product from this company, it could have ruined its long built reputations.
Who would want a expensive smartphone without sufficient screen protection ? And now with such discovery, this leads to the conclusion that Note4 is nothing more than a piece of expensive rip-off cheaply built low quality product with a screen that is easily scratched.

Gorilla glass 4 is not a sapphire or diamond and it is scratched by sand for example. You can't blame Samsung for content of your pockets. If I could afford to have a few loose diamonds in my pockets, I wouldn't worry about little scratch.

........What the heck did I just read?
Let's break things down, shall we?
- NO phone screen is scratch-proof! NONE! Any form of Gorilla Glass is scratch-resistant, but it's just that - resistant! That means scratches can still happen. I also can pretty much guarantee that any other phone you may have had without a screen protector would have small, micro-scratches. Deny it all you want, but as I stated originally, no phone display is scratch-proof.
- Regarding lack of firmware updates, obviously you've never owned a Samsung device (or most other non-Nexus device). Has HTC released Lollipop everywhere for the HTC One (M8)? No. LG G3? Only rolling out in select markets. Heck, even Moto hasn't updated all their Moto X (2014) devices yet, and those are about as close to stock Android as you can get! Part of the blame is on the manufacturer, part on the carriers. So if you think Samsung is alone here, think again!
- Regarding a "cheaply-made" device, it's built better than previous Samsung devices! Sure, an iPhone may seem better built, but it has its own share of problems ("bendgate" anyone?)
- With regards to talk of a Note 5, guess what? A new Note appears every year around October! Just like a new Nexus, a new iPhone, a new HTC One, etc. Any rumor now is incredibly early, and thus is almost pointless to speculate on.
In short, sounds like someone just wanting to rant and be a troll because they didn't bother protecting their expensive phone like they should have. You won't get much sympathy here, as there's really nobody else to blame but yourself. Not Samsung, you.

Corning have said themselves it uses Gorilla Glass 4.Its listed on their website .
http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/en/products-with-gorilla/samsung/samsung-galaxy-note-4
As another poster said, Gorilla Glass isn't 100% scratch resistant, it gives protection but you can still get scratches on the screen.
Anyway, there's no way Corning would list the product as having GG4 if it didn't, that would be commercial suicide.
Also, why would it being made in Vietnam mean it would be of lesser quality?!

The fact is that the device should be scratch proof as with many other devices I own previously. Like Asus TF700T, Samsung Galaxy S3, S4, and S5, iPad 3, 4, Air and Air 2. I don't have any problems with screen protection on these devices.
Despite any slow updates, I do not object that such important updates require multiple processes, however, when it comes to priority on servicing its customers none of its models updates should be in a serial manner but as a parallel. That's to say this process should be consistent not intermittent.

I am not satisfied with the screen protection compared with older products which I own previously and had no screen protections problems.
The fact is that generally if it is made with quality then I should not have seen a scratch on the screen.
And if it is made in Vietnam I am only speculating as to why they have chosen this route and produces a screen which is capable of being scratched easily.

Oh yeah and don't tell me that you can not complain because Samsung did not officially list the type of screen protection on their specifications web page.
And if you do scratch your phone unconsciously, should you mind that Samsung did not want to provide a proper screen protection nor do they want to tell you exactly what is the form of screen protection they have implemented on Note 4. But, instead leave you to wonder what screen protection is on the phone and let's wander into third party websites which lists the device as with Corning Gorilla Glass 4.
The fact is that Samsung did not formally acknowledge that this device has Corning Gorilla Glass 4.
Mind you, if you do get a scratch on your screen, how would you feel about your new device being scratched and becoming ugly and do not look like new.

We're not your enemies here - take a breath. Clearly you're upset and feel wronged or deceived in some way.
Vote with your wallet and buy an alternate brand next time.
For what it's worth, I'm pleasantly surprised at how well-built my Note 4 is. It doesn't have a single scratch or scuff on the screen of any kind. I keep it in my pockets and leave it on surfaces without a thought. It's also survived three heavy hits onto solid tiled floors from about one metre without so much as a ding on the band or anywhere else. I don't have any case or screen protector either.
By contrast, my old 5s hit the same tiled floor from a lesser height and had two significant dents in the alu band and looked like the screen was about to submit at any moment.
This is not meant as a boast but rather to say my experience is different to yours.

How is it Samsungs fault that you, by not fitting a screen protector, have scratched your phone?
I don't use screen protectors. If the screen gets scratched, it's my fault. Take some responsibility and stop blaming others.

As everybody said, nothing is scratch resistant...just use a screen protector and that's it.
BTW i had mine for 2 months and no scratch or whatsoever

... And the important takeaway here is that no company has a scratch-proof screen. Just because you never noticed a scratch on a previous device does not mean it was scratch-proof. No company has ever made such a claim either, because they know they'd be sued pretty darn quick for false advertising.

Yes is pretty resistant it's a good thing

Gorila Glass 4 or no I know only one thing. I own this P9 for one month already, dropped the phone few times, one time i got a significant dent on the chassis corner and the glass is still intact. Never used a screen protector, never paid much attention to the phone, yet there's NOT even a single scratch on the glass.

Check this scratch test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8btJtTWZzU
Whatever it might be (I've heard it's Dragontrail), it's as hard as the Corning stuff. Also good to find out that glass screen on the back is the same stuff used on the screen.

It is a CGG4, on European P9 for sure.
