Wondering if you guys are using the phone with or without screen protection? I just got my phone and just love the way it the screen feels without anything else on it. Will the screen get scratches easily without protection? I'm not sure what kind of glass this is.
no matter which glass is, sometimes get scratches... no one screen 100% scratch protected...

Yeah, i'm using a tempered screen protector
I'm using without screen protector. No scratches, but I take care of my phones well. (Except for when I dropped metal on my last phone and broke part of the screen, but surely I won't do that twice)
The Mi Mix phones are very prone to screen breakage, so take any and all precautions.
I shattered two screens on the Mi Mix, one that the digitizer stopped working (a 3.5 foot drop), had film type screen protector.
I tried the Mi mix 2, and used a glass type screen protector. The phone had the original Mi Mix 2 case, and had a drop, the screen protector broke... sheesh.
I now have the Mi Mix 2s, and I ordered an aftermarket case that surround the top edge of the screen creating a lip (the phone laying flat on a flat surface, the screen will not touch).
I bought liquid screen protector, and gave the phone screen 5 treatments over a 12 hour period.
I also installed a glass screen protector while I wait for the 5D screen protector to arrive in the mail.
I am compromising less on the case this time, and going for more protection. In the past, I have used the oem case, keeping everything slim and compact. But because these phones are not easy to service (parts are hard to come buy, and tech are not all capable of working on these phones), I am waiting on the newest case to arrive. I went with a clear tpu bumper type case, that has added protection on the corners, comes with metal button backing for magnetic holders, and a ring holder.
Screen protector will help, but a proper case is mandatory.

The case, for me anyways (I had on a Mi Mix) is not enough protection in drop. I had THAT type of case, on my Mi Mix and the screen and digitizer broke from a 3.0' drop onto tile floor, hit the corner of the phone screen (it was a dead drop fall, not a toss type fall) rendering the phone completely inoperable.
The Mi Mix is / was a heavy phone, and the Mix 2 & Mix 2S are no light weights either.
I have to go with something that has a little more corner edge protection (a fall landing on the corners is a no mercy fall, it will probably sustain damage), whereas if the phone lands on it's edge flush there is considerably less damage sustained.
I wish TECH21 would of made a case for the Mi Mix 2s, there suspension absorption design is second to none, and they look amazing to boot.
Cheers
The problem with all the screen protectors i bought so far is that they all seem to be build for the mix 2, not the mix 2s. And the display of the 2s is slightly larger so there is no 100% percentage coverage in any of them. Have the phone for about 2 weeks now, already changed 4 glass protector, all of them suck because they are a little bit smaller than the screen or the roundness of the corners is smaller than the actual screen. Awaiting for alien surface to possibly launch a protector dedicated to mix 2s. Until than i'll rather risk and use the phone with no protector than use it with a ugly as hell one.

I was talking about protectors made for mix 2 being sold as compatible fir mix 2s and they just aren't. I should know sice I exauasted all the mix 2s variants being sold in my country and for the sake of experimenting i bought 2 models for the mix 2 hoping they'll fit somehow the mix 2s. Well they don't. I am still hopeless in finding a screen protector that doesn't look an feel like crap for this phone. At least one bought directly from vendors in Romania wherei live. Never had this kind of problem with the mi5 that i previously used. And i feel reluctant i paying 15 dollars for shipping from Amazon or eBay since i have no way of knowing those are any better than the ones i bought so far. So if anybody has a good protector with the link from where it was bought... Feel free to help. Thanks v

With installation applicator, I can install the screen protector on my Mix 2s so easily. And the quality of the screen protector is decent so far. Would recommend it.
Since you are asking the link, and you are from Romania, you may want to order it from Amazon UK. Here is the link - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07C7115LH

Thank you for taking the time to post this!
This is by far the best screen protector for mix2s i've seen. Thanks again for your trouble to post it!
Meanwhile i got this
https://aliensurface.ro/produs/xiao...-hd.html#/26-alege_acoperirea_telefoane-ecran
It's made by some Romanian company but it's an interesting concept. It looks great on the phone, it feels great, unfortunately it's just plastic not glass, so I fear it has zero protection against drops, but other than that it's a great product. And no, the phone was not damaged in any way while I had to spray the liquid on the screen to install it.
Without a case? TG(Tempered Glass) protector is a must have.
With the default case, one could get away with a plastic protector. I would personally still get a TG one though.
With a case that offers good protection, a protector might not be required.
Disclaimer: That is my opinion, and should not be taken as facts.
I had a mix 2 before this and let me tell you, you will get scratches no matter how careful you are. My gf bought an iPhone 8 plus at the same time I got mi mix 2 and hers looked much much worse, but you do get fine scratches over time. The ceramic on the back is really tough though.

Hi, I've bought recently this phone and wanted a sturdy screen, preferably a glass tempered one but I've got no idea what brands to go for or if those that you can buy cheap on ebay are enough. I'm a bit clumsy so the possiblity of it slipping out of my hand by accident and falling on its screen is there. If anyone can give some input based on experiences, that'd be great.
Cheap plastic ones from amazon always seem to work fine on all my devices.. When they get scratched I have no issues throwing on a new one.
They are cheap but keep the screen flawless

hi, i am using nillkin H+, i bought it from amazon
Things i liked in this Nillkin :
1) my friends tempered glasses catches scratches, fades after long time use (4 months) and makes screen unusable in rain, but as nillkin is having real nano coating it helps me to operate my phone even in rain with out much problem
2) i bought a tempered glass before worth 270inr from ebay it was good to look, but when i was about to remove it as its not having Nano coating on it, then i observed that it cracked and formed small powder fragments on edges when i tried to remove it with hard plastic :silly:
later i installed nillkin, had to remove this also as i didnt manage to fit it perfectly on my screen.. i used the same hard plastic, this time Nillkin tempered didnt break nor atleast formed any tiny fragments, i lifted it and set again with out any problem
these are my observing on my tempered glass
I bought a tempered glass one for around $3 on eBay, haven't gotten it yet. I don't know if the more expensive ones are better, but better can mean 2 things. Either that it's stronger, so won't break easily; or that it protects the phone better. I doubt one will protect the phone more than the other.

I do the same thing. No problems yet.
I bought a nillkin H+ but removed it after a while because the phone screen is much less oleophobic. With the screen protector on, the fingerprints were extremely annoying, at least on my sample.
So can anyone recommend a really good high quality glass screen protector without flaws? If there is none then i'll order motorola official flip shell...

The $3 ones on eBay don't have flaws. I have one and I know other people who have them, no one has any problems with them. Just first learn how to put it on so you don't break it.

Undersized
I bought a tempered glass one from an online (no brand). It's undersized, about 1.5mm all around. Probably useful to allow a case to grip the front edge, but the description didn't say so. I feel cheated, but for the price it'll do.
My previous tempered glass ones (branded) were excellent protection, and felt better on my finger than the plastic ones.
[edit] I forgot to say, the shape is one with cut-out north of the top speaker, rather than the others I've seen with speaker hole.
Moto G Premium Quality Screen Protector is Anti Glare Matte edition in my recommendation.
it Protects your device from scratches & dust. Easy to Apply , Fits perfectly and requires no cutting. Comes with a cleaning cloth and application card. Easily removable with no sticky residue or marks
Tempered glass screen protector from amazon
I've been using a SPARIN tempered glass screen protector since I got my moto g in August. (It's about $8 on amazon; unfortunately I can't post a link, but it should be easy to find)
I've managed to crack it in at least 8 places (my phone falls a lot), but it hasn't picked up any scratches yet, and it's protected the actual glass underneath. If you're even a little proficient at holding things, it should be fine.
Snakehive protector
I've only had it a few days, but I bought a Snakehive tempered glass protector for my new G3, from their Amazon store. Very pleased so far. It has cutouts for the mouthpiece at the bottom and for the earpiece, light sensor and camera at the top, although at the top it doesn't surround them for some reason, but that's only a couple of milimetres uncovered. It was a breeze to put on when compared to film protectors. I laid it over the mouthpiece and it simply eased itself into place over the rest of the screen. Seems a bargain at the current £3.95.
I'm wanting to get the flip down case from Snakehive too, assuming they get more stock in.

First day of smartphone, yes good idea to have a screen protection. But now with gorilla glass, useless.
It's my point of view.

I used and have a Mr shield or something like that from Amazon super easy too install i've had no bubbles when placing it on the phone also bought a case where there was enough space that should it fall on the screen side it's not touching the floor I've dropped my phone about 5 times over the course of a year. Took off the case and replaced the screen protector and it still looks like brand new minus where I've blindly inserted the USB cord.
10 days to 1 year since i purchased the device . never used any screen protector and been 8 month since i didnt use any case either.

my phone has some minor scuffs and little bend on bottom right corner but thats coz the phone fell from above 5 feet . must say the build quality is very solid
Honestly, you just don't need them these days. Had my G3 6 months, not a single scratch and I am hardly careful with it, gets thrown in pocket with keys and lose change, and dropped often because I am clumsy. Plenty of dents along the bezel but screen as good as new.
Hello. I've ordered a Mi 6 from GearBest a couple of days ago. It will probably take at least a month to arrive, but I guess I should already order the extras so I'll have them at hand by then too.
I'm looking at different glass protectors and it seems there's nothing with no issues? Many complain the one they bought covers too little of the screen, or that it detached too easily. Perhaps even cracked spontaneously.
What will you recommend? Is there anything which gives complete coverage well? I'll buy a case as well, so I don't want something that might get pulled off when putting a case on.
Thanks in advance.
Stock are good that comes with, can sustain a drops easily. I already use it for over 6 months and been dropped from 1 meter at screen, few times before crack occurred.. Today I think i'll replace it with Nilkin that I got when I purchased it back in summer. Btw Nilkin IMHO is one of the best glasses if not best.
NILLKIN 9H/9H+/H+ Pro is the best i ve tried , no easy scratches, ΝΟ fingerprint at all, 2,5 D edges, its likge touching the phone screeen, its also thinest than the others i tried...
Well, I ended up buying "ASLING 2.5D Screen Protective Film" from GearBest, and it doesn't seem to stick entirely well. Like most available glass screen protectors, it doesn't go to the very edge of the glass front - so I didn't think the rounded edges of the Mi 6 should interfere (perhaps they're actually not the cause), but the edges of the Asling don't stay "glued" to the phone. They are a bit raised so there is a 5mm hazy white area along all edges. I guess dirt could also get under these parts as they're not flat. The more internal part did stick pretty easily with no bubbles.
This is great, covers the full phone and sticks https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Xia...aomi-mi6-tempered-glass-full/32813722170.html.
Hi guys. As the factory screen protector is garbage I am looking for options. Some I found on amazon.de, however it seems like they should be compatible with Mi10/Mi10 Pro and Mi10 Ultra, didn't know they all have the same screen dimensions and curvature. I would be keen to get a hydrogel type of coating, preferably for front and back, but I realize it may be challenging to find. I wil appreciate if somebody can recommend anything.
I asked liaow who don't stock them. Other Mi phones have the same screen dimensions though..
So I just bought the ones for the mi 10 / pro, they fit perfectly

Is it a glass one or flexible? I don't care for flexible screen protectors at all because they don't protect from screen shatters as much. And just because a flexible one fits doesn't mean a tempered glass one designed for a slightly different phone would.
Obviously you've not seen the other thread on this but I swapped mine for a hydrogel one a couple of weeks ago. Got mine from AliExpress for 10 ultra, fit superb and of course with hydrogel, you can remove and put back on, any bubbles go after a couple of days if you do get any when fitting and the best thing, they are really good at self healing. Took 10 days to arrive but well worth the wait.

I've ordered a screen protector from amazon UK.
It says it works on the Ultra, the Pro and the plain Mi 10
I'll report back if it works I think you can use any Mi 10 range protector. (for what it's worth gsmarena comparison backs this up)
Well it sucks. Did not reach all around the screen. It also didn't seem tall enough. Be wary of buying a Mi Pro protector

ah well, that sucks. I remember my Note 8 and 9 tempered glass protectors never worked with cases, so i went for the gel screen protectors which worked with any case.
after 6 months i went to tempered glass and bare back with a grippy sticker.
i think this phone might be the same, leaving the original protector on and using the 6 cases i have, then no case with tempered screen protector
you can buy uv screen protector on taobao.com or aliexpress.com
The original factory screen protector is indeed not the best. It's a dust magnet for some reason, and scratches easily. I took it off and replaced it with a tempered glass one made for the 10 pro. Fits like a glove.

link, please?
I've ordered one of these from Amazon UK
Quite happy to use hydrogel, the only dislike on this one is the cut-out for camera... previous one for Find X2 Pro didn't have that which made for a cleaner finish.
Follow-up: Horrendous bit of kit, don't get this one! The USB plug moves around and the poles to line up the protector don't line up the punch hole correctly. All sorts of other problems, but those are the main two.
Where did u order it? Could u please leave a link?
Just got this IMAK hydrogel protection. Applied it a couple of hours ago. It has cutout for front camera. It is easy to align and apply, and fits very well to the edges of the screen. It covers curbed part of the screen as well. Just watching how quick remaining bubbles are going away. Amazing. I hope that the edges of case would not touch the edges of protection. Have to wait a little bit more in order to check this.
Hello all,
I'm about to order the P5, and one of my concerns is wether or not to use a screen protector. I haven't had one on my phones since my HTC Touch Pro, kinda hate them, but on the other hand it's been years since I've bought a 600 euro phone. I'm ready to order either the zagg or the luibor one.
My current device (Mi A2) uses gorilla glass 5, which according to a few articles I read has roughly the same scratch resistance as the 6 used on the pixel. Two years of use, just a few microscratches, barely noticeable without really looking for them.
I'll use a case of course, follow necessary precautions, but still I'm wondering if the screen is prone to getting scratched easily. Anyone using it without a protector and have spotted any microscratches on the screen or the camera glass?

Interested in this too. Just ordered my P5. All my previous phones I slapped a screen protector on, but none had gorilla glass (currently on pixel 3a XL, which I don't think does).
Anyone that can share their experiences with gorillas glass 5 or 6 would be appreciated.

Pixel 2xl had gorilla glass as my p2 did. Never use screen protectors with ultra thin cases and I'm a diesel mechanic. Got the p2 the month it came out and only have a tiny scratch where I dropped it with oily hands face down in the shop.

As stated above. Still a dirty mechanic and my p5 is flawless
Every new version of Gorilla Glass offers better protection against breakage. To make glass shatter resistant they have to make it softer and that makes it easier to scratch. Except for the Galaxy S10 that had a factory protector I've never used a screen protector and never had a problem though. I keep my phone in my pocket and so far it's never been a problem.
Glass will eventually scratch. It takes a tiny bit of the wrong material in your pocket to rub against the glass.
Just get a $6 screen protector and you're good
I've never used a screen protector, pointless paying for something and not enjoying it, screen protectors are awful compared to the joy of the screen

I've always used a tempered glass screen protector on all my flat phones. (These were hopeless on the curved edge ones.)
I got one on my 5 for peace of mind more than anything else, along with a clear gel case for the back.
I dont find they detract from the use of the phone, especially as the 5 does not have an in-screen fingerprint scanner.
However, I've had ones from 2 different companies now, and both seem too small to me. They are at least 5mm too small, both height and width.
Three weeks with the P5 without a screen protector and everything was fine, no scratches at all. And then I lost my nerve and put a Spigen protector on, which went on flawlessly with no bubbles. Good luck with whatever you choose!
Screen seems fine! Never have used a screen protector...
The higher the Gorilla Glass number, the worse the scratch resistance and the more plastic and the better crack resistance. The lower the number, less plastic, better scratch resistance and less crack resistance. This isn't rocket science.
I have a deep scratch in my P5 after holding two phones together, most likely a grain of sand. My fingernail gets caught up on the scratch, but no micro scratches. My P3XL has micro scratches.

Ouch!
I've put an order in for a screen protector.
Really curious. It's next to impossible to get a replacement here in the states. Does it bother you, or have you left it on? Please respond with your logic as well as answering the poll.
Mi 11 series all have similar screen. Considering early release of mi 11, it shouldn't be a big issue. I received a glass protector in 10 days from China.
And why would you remove it? Is bad?
It depends how you use your phone.
If you "baby" it you should be more than fine.
On my mi9 i have removed for the past year or more. I only have one or two very fine scratches and those are from some drops
So yeah, on general use and being a bit careful ( using a case that would prevent the screen to make contact to the surface) you should be perfectly fine.
I personally have the one that came with the phone still on and will remove it when it gets worn out.

Thanks for this tip. I did a quick look up on GSM arena. Screens seem to be identical size and shape. I went ahead and ordered two packs of protectors from Amazon. They'll be here Sunday.
My original protector got caught on the edge of a dog cage in the most unfortunate scenario ever. My phone was okay but the screen protector had a huge gash in it.
I've gone with no protector for about a week. I've collected one tiny scratch that can only be seen with the screen off and the light hitting it just the right way. I've babied this thing so I'm not sure how it happened. Either way Gorilla glass victus hasn't impressed me all that much.
oleophobic coating on this screen protector is iiiiinsane ! I surprised that no one said that yet. But I hate sharp edges on it.... Gestures and that no good together

Curved screens are a flawed design imo
This is what I would classify as a highly breakable device
Between the weight of it and the slab of glass on the back and the wrap around screen your nearly guaranteed a breakage no matter what side it lands on.....
Gorilla glass Victus is junk compared to whatever is on the iPhone 12 pro
In every drop test I've watched the android phone with Victus smashed and the iPhone survived.... although the iPhone has the benefit of being flat
Yeah ditched the screen protector as soon as I got it.
It looks like a peel off screen protector which you get on new devices.
Colors and sharpness improves a bit and the touch is not plastic feel.
I like the screen protector. It feels almost the same like OnePlus7 Pro without a screen protector.
I keep it as long as possible
Hello do you need to remove originally pre installed plastic film protection before putting a newly bought tempered glass ?? Thanks for answering
Hi - I would not use 2 screen protectors at the same time. So if you want to put tempered glass on you should remove the preinstalled one. Otherwise you can get difficulties with the touch screen. I myself removed the preinstalled immediately and installed another (better) on.
Remove it or not eventually it will come off, better get hands on some tempered glass to protect those expensive curvy screen.
i dropped my phone about a week after buying it, was sick to stomach until i realized that the preinstalled screen protector was cracked but not the actual phone. im pretty sure it saved the phone
Many people think that pre-aplied screen protector is a feature therefore, they expect to see a better quality option. In reality, due to strict laws of EU and return policy of retailers such as Amazon, they want phone to be as much refurbishable as possible with given protection . That is why, we get a cheap quality phone case and screen protector that can barely live 4 weeks of legal limit and are really ugly non-characteristic additions. They have to make it looking boring because other case producers have to earn money too. So, my suggestion is change the original screen protector with a liquid self-repair one and buy a sturdy case for your own sake.
I don't see why you would wanna do that unless it breaks or you wanna install a better sturdier screen protector, keep the old one if it doesn't bother you.
