Hello
Learned in the past my smartphone often lands on the ground.
Are you using / can recommend a good tempered glass for that model?
Wonder if it brings a good protection from cracks at all.
You need a case with good corner and face plant protection (flat surfaces). The case is the first and best defense against damage.
I use the Zizo Bolt on my 10+. Zero damage after around a dozen 2-4 foot drops onto concrete.

This variant includes a tempered glass protector which you may need to leave off. My variant comes with none.
I use the wet apply plastic Gorilla IQ Sheild. Zero damage to my big corner hitting, face plant happy phone after over 1.5 years.

Already using Spigen Ultra Hybrid. I'm rather lf protection from cracks caused by falling which i heard of glass is better than plastic.
the LK tempered glass protectors had the best reviews, no complaints from me either.

it does come up smaller than the total screen (so it fits with cases), it covers the used part of the screen but not the bezels.

You can't be face planting a phone with no case. High impact G's can destroy chipsets, mobos, other internal parts and mounts.

Good.
My 10+ survived a fall onto a rough piece of an aluminum angle from about 3 feet. It marred the factory protector but not the glass. Hit on the curved portion too, most of the impact was probably on the concrete though.
Screen protectors are mostly to prevent marring and scratches from sand and grit. They are a pain to put on although they may provide more impact protection or... not.
Glass is witchy stuff.
Neither a true solid nor liquid it is subject to the laws of fluid hydraulics at times. It can behave in seemingly bizarre ways. Anyone who ever done work as a glazer can verify this.

Hi!
I just wanted to know which is, in your opinion, the best tempered glass screen protector for this device. So far I've no luck, I bought a 2.5d one that has airbags on the borders.
Opinions?

This is in fact not the problem with the tempered glass. It is due to the curved glass on redmi 4x which is called as 2.5D glass which will be slightly bent at the edges. When a traditional tempered glass is applied to the screen, as the glass is flat at the center, the tempered glass adheres perfectly, while the ends are bent but the tempered glass is not. This is the reason the tempered glass always leaves air gaps at the edges. I would prefer the old school model plastic screen protector that is available on mi.com for our beloved redmi 4x. Just give it a try and you won't even feel like you have a screen protector on the screen. The only intention in this screen protector is to protect the screen from scratches that are likely to appear due to object playing around in the pockets along with the phone. This screenguard will not protect the screen from drops. You will definitely need to rely on your luck about breaking the glass from waist height of an average height guy.
thanks for your reply
i know about the 2.5D (or rounded edges) of the Redmi4x, but in my case the glass manufacturer circumvented to this problem by making protective glasses slightly smaller than the phone glass like 3mm on each border, so beside the increased difficulty to position it, it should have skipped the edges radius. But even with the 3mm skip i still had non sticky parts. (sku 209626001 from gearbest)
Indeed plastic models should minimise this issue but they are so soft ! After one week in the pocket with scratching things like keys they look so bad that they are already good to be replaced. So except if some technological revolution happened for plastic screen protector since the Mi2/S time, i think i'll live without screen protection at all

Ok thanks
Im using one of that "hybrid" screen protectors, the center is made of tempered glass and the edges made of some durable material, one claims for carbon fibers, the other for Kevlar. sorry i do not have a link for what i bought, but it looks exactly like the one in that link : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10pcs-lot-For-Xiaomi-Redmi-4X-3D-Carbon-Fiber-Screen-Film-Anti-Scratch-Tempered-Glass-Screen/32821140687.html?spm=2114.search0104.3.29.uQibKQ&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_4_10152_10151_10065_10344_10068_10345_10342_51102_10343_10340_10341_10609_10541_10084_10083_10307_10312_10313_10059_10314_10534_100031_10604_10103_10605_10594_10107_10142,searchweb201603_12,ppcSwitch_5&algo_expid=72b8e48c-88c1-4470-9f38-f193a555b5e0-4&algo_pvid=72b8e48c-88c1-4470-9f38-f193a555b5e0&rmStoreLevelAB=5
it comes with colored edges, gold, black and white so you can use black or gold on white phone and vice versa. because the edges made of flex material, it sits perfect on the screen and have a nice curve edges all round. my have 98% coverage of the original screen, there is a 0.2 mm of gap between the two. in use on my device for about two month's now, having two falls on asphalt from about 70 cm, right on the corner, nothing happens yet. no scratches yet, as i say, i don't have a link for what i bought, i remember it was an unknown Chinese brand. hope it helps.
Why are all of the links aliexpress? (i don't have a problem with it just i prefer ebay/amazon)

Isn't it the cheapest that way? Just thinking.
Also, about topic - what do You think about 3mk 3D flexible glass for RN4X? Is it worth it? I would love to get as much protection as possible since I basically drowned my previous phone (UMI C Note) in worktime when I was washing 1 cubic meter containers with the pressure cleaner. Phone was in my pocket all the time, but just small stream of water on fingerprint scanner (inb4 you are a dumbass) ruined everyting.

Hi buczek,
have you tried the mentioned above FlexibleGlass? What are your thoughts on it?
there are much different quality of tempered glass in the market. some of tempered glass screen protector is with poor adhesive glue, it's easy to come off. some tempered glass screen protector is easy to be broken. our company supply high quality tempered glass screen protector, it's with high adhesive A/B glue, up to 9H hardness tempered glass material, anti scratch and anti shatter, protect your screen effectively.
more info: weaccessory dot com
Shenzhen Western Electronic Co., ltd
Here in New Delhi I am able to get a variety of glass based screen protectors costing between ₹15-₹50 per piece. Yes they aren't as effective as those super costly ₹800 one 's but still are very good. It's just that they don't come in any fancy packaging and cleansing wipes
use nano glass,its good fit
Can anyone recommend a tempered glass that has not an insane amount of reflection effect? I bought one from a seller on Ali and it is just like a mirror, making it more annoying to use and harder to see in the sun. ali or ebay

The same happened to me. Also it gets dirty very easily and make the screen significantly darker.
I use these. They fit perfectly.

There's no quality screen protectors made from glass available for this model. I already spent like 50$ on them and none of them lasted long and all of them was defective in one or other way. The first one I bought (from Mocolo) with colored edges did come off on it's own after about a week of very light use. Do yourself a favor and listen to my advice... Buy some plastic screen film instead of this cheap crap and save yourself a lot of nerves and money.
Any idea where to get a replacement glass shipped to US asap?
A few local shops can get it, but want 100 for parts/repair. I have already removed to shattered nice and clean, but can't seem to find anywhere that has the replacement glass available.
Thanks.
Edit: Any local shop I stopped in only had the s20...
Spoke to Samsung $117.98 for rear camera glass replacement mail in repair w/ shipping...
Then I ask price if the front glass on the same phone is cracked with the super gorilla glass...SAME PRICE.
It will sit in the box til we're able to find one online somewhere.
Please lmk if u see the glass, not a protector. Thanks.
Samsung will only replace the entire back panel if the camera breaks. I broke my S20 Ultra and had to do this, they replaced the whole back panel at UbreakiFix. I got them to custom make a grey 512GB S20 Ultra which was cool.
Still looking for the Ultra rear camera glass replacement only.
Anyone able to confirm if the the glass opening on the rear camera is identical on the Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra?

How did you break it? Did it slip and fall from your hands?
Did it break in a cover?
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08JVD15LS/
Found and replaced broken rear camera glass thanks to COCO on amazon. Its amazing they ship a better replacement part then Samsung did OEM on a $1300 device.
The phone slipped out the front pocket of my gym shorts and fell 2ft to the ground, in a case. No screen or lens protector. LVP flooring, not even cement or tile. Rear camera glass cracked only.
Issue is that samsung used a bead of adhesive only around the perimeter of the glass, leaving the middle VERY vulnerable. The replacement adhesive is much more thorough and comprehensive. Glass fits perfect.

Get a better case. Your lucky that's all that broke.
I use the Zizo Bolt on my 10+ It's sucked up some good falls on concrete without a scratch. It has good cam protection.
Remember though if a case takes a hard corner impact(s) it might be a good idea to replace it; material fatigue can degrade its impact protection. If the urethane has been stressed it has a shiny appearance at the stress point.
Hi guys! I have the same problem than you. Only than my glass got scratched it seems with a key in the pocket! It is small but i would like to find a replacement.
That vendor you post it seems no longer has it, have you found any replacement for a mystic bronze note 20 ultra???
Thank you very much!
My son has broken his S20+ Ultra camera lens twice. Once when it was laying face down on sidewalk. Dog walked on it and cracked camera lens. It was in the OEM flip case. The second time kit broke was from a drop in a full Sheldon leather wallet case.
With that family history I have been worried about my Note 20 Ultra. I started ordering and then returning improper cases via Amazon until I found an acceptable.
These are my personal requirements :
1) wallet / flip style case to protect screen and camera
2) case must have a clasp to keep wallet closed if dropped
3) all case corners must be constructed to absorb and protect from shock stresses
4) case construction around camera must be higher than the camera lens and should grip the lens bump solidly - especially along the thin edge
5) wireless charging with phone in case can be sacrificed for good case protection
Hours of web searches and research followed by trying 4 different cases ended with...
*** Visoul Samsung Note 20 Ultra Wallet case
- thick leather case - strong magnetic clasp - proper TPU inner case to hold the phone - camera is held firm - case is well raised above lens face.
Our past phones were protected in Otterbox Strada cases. Otterbox, doesn't make the Strada for Note20's
I hope my experience helps.

Good point.
I've used the UAG Monarch for my last 4 Note devices (this, Note 10+, Note 8, & Note 4 Edge).
Each iteration, their cases seem to be built with less integrity - however, this is the first chip/crack/anything other than a scratch any of my devices has suffered while sporting a high end UAG case, so I don't think the case is to blame.
I can tell you from just a physics standpoint after observing the construction in removing the broken glass, the method Samsung engineers decided on of suspending the glass adhesive ONLY around the perimeter of the bezel will lead to many other Note 20 Ultra rear camera glass breaking.

I never have my 10+ out of it's case except to do maintenance. Same with the screen protector.
This type of phone design needs a case with military drop specs. I favor the 2 piece composite systems; semi-hard urethane that goes around the phone with a polycarbonate clip on backing to stabilize it and hold it firmly in place. A back with a clip adds another layer.
I don't expect them to survive a 6 foot fall but a surviving a 2-3 foot fall onto concrete is needed.
Cases need not be waterproof as these phones are well sealed.
Pay close attention to the cam, the corners especially the spen corner. That's my 10+'s favorite landing spot.
The cam guard needs to be about 4-5+ mm high.
Make sure there are raised front guards on the top and bottom as well as slightly raised sides for face plants.
The side guards will also help stop accidental touches but still keep the curved screen's functionality.
For the 10+ the Bolt case rocks.
Can't say how the 20U version performs though. It seems to come with a screen protector which I question, the 10+ version does not.
Make sure there's enough beef to keep it from becoming hamburger...
Hi all just a basic question is it worth to put a protector on the camera or not? If so what ones would you recommend?
Thanks

I've been thinking about this myself. I've just put on a case because I know when putting the phone down, the first thing that touches the surface will be the camera module. Also since the module is just metal this time, I figure the paint will be the first thing to scuff off.
A glass protector might be a bit thick.
Don't use the full glass that covers the camera lens - the gap will cause condensation since it's not on the surface of the lens.
Skins or the aluminium ones with the cutouts should work fine.

Simply use a good case with raised guards around the cam module. It's protective lense cover is replaceable anyway. Don't use it as a finger hold...
That's all I have on the 10+ and I live in the dusty desert. Zero scratches so far.
Carefully clean with a dry microfiber cloth as needed.

My Bolt case has a raised 5-6 mm guard on the cam/sensor modules.
Case selection is limited for this new phone.
Check out the Zizo Bolt when it becomes available. It's my favorite case; it can take a hit, is easy to hold and use. Also has slightly raised guards for the display, good corner hit protection but still fairly compact.
I bought whitestone glass screen protector for the camera when I first removed the plastic. It has held up for the few days I've had the phone. It does cover the lens with glass so it should protect them. Had plastic film on my S10+ but came off when I wasn't looking and didn't seem like I needed the protection though as the camera is not scratched or cracked..

The hood on high dollar lens isn't there just to reduce flaring, it helps protect the lense from direct contact. Even in falls it does this quit well.
Likewise your case should have good raised protection to help avoid contact with anything.
Poor cleaning techniques are the next biggest hazard. Keep your fingers off it and use only a microfiber cloth to clean it. Dirt, sand, grit doesn't scratch it unless you rub it. Wait to clean it if you can't do it right at that moment. Use a blower bulb the remove loose sand etc before you use the microfiber cloth.

this kind of case also solve the problem of a "dancing phone" when you use it on a table
Ok just an update I thought i would try camera protection so i brought a couple they were glass type ones day time pics were not bad but night pictures i kept getting lens flare. So i took off the protector and lens flare was gone. So i thought I would let you know of my result using glass type.
Are the Whitestone Dome ones any good?
It will be good to have som addon for camera to protect.
yeah I`m waiting on my later case, the cyber edition covers the camera bump and has round cutouts for the cameras, so well see when it shows up.

I just have to say that the tempered glass ones suck. Because of the metal frame, they use some kind of strong adhesive to get the tempered glass to adhere. It's impossible to remove without the glass shattering. I managed to remove the tempered glass camera protector but it managed to scuff/scratch the matte black metal around the cameras... sucks.

Hi!
I will be receiving my Ultra on Tuesday and was wondering if its for sure that the USA version does NOT have a pre-applied protector.
I am planning to buy one if that is not the case.
Also, for the rear cameras, I normally buy tempered glass protectors. Is it recommended for this phone or do you have other suggestions?
I bought a case that has the sliding part to cover the camera for when I am going out and one with a kickstand for when I am home so maybe I do not need to bother with protecting the cameras?
Any feedback is welcome.
Thanks!
The case needs raised guards on all sides of the display and around the cam protector which is integrated into the rear cover. It's replaceable and not easily scratched if you avoid direct contact with it. Clean with a dry microfiber cloth.
The case is the primary defense.
The display protector is to prevent scratches from sand and grit.
On my Note 10+ I've used the Zizo Bolt case and Gorilla IQ Sheild for over 20 months with no damage in spite of close to a dozen drops onto concrete from 2-4 feet, including corner hits, face plants and end over end multiple impacts.
It works.
Many cases claim to be mil spec but are not. Worse the mil spec they cite is a drop onto plywood covered concrete. Not even directly onto concrete. Concrete doesn't normally have
plywood covering it in the real world
That mil standard is meant to test for drops inside military transports. Good if your an airman who spends most of your time in the air.

Yes, I too didn't get any pre-applied protector, so I bought one from Gadgetshieldz and using it for 2 months now. This screen protector looks good and premium but I can't say there are no scratches, minute scratches occurred but they are not bad. You can also try it out, I'll drop the link below.

Have been rolling with the white stone dome and obviously love the feel but lost the functionality of my fingerprint sensor. Also butchered the application so whites look bad because of the dust underneath and whatnot.
I've been getting harassed with some screen protectors especially this Deawi Privacy/ screen protector . I'm open to a change if it'll protect from scratches and get fingerprint back .
I am using the amfilms one, and the fingerprint sensor is actually quite good

Thanks dude. I appreciate the feedback . Just spent an hour and 30 minutes picking off my white stone dome that was cracked and the application process didn't go well so there were all kinds of dust spots underneath. . . The one I was going to apply ended up being for the small note. Rookie mistake
np, just make sure you follow the instructions with the small metal weight on the fingerprint sensor
I have been using the Ringke Dual Easy Wing film since I got my 20 Ultra.
Dropped my phone face down on rocks, tore the screen protcector but no damage to the screen.
No issues with the fingerprint reader at all. Spen is hit or miss and can leave slight indents in the film if pressed too had.
Want to switch to temperated glass, but my note 9 left a bad taste in my mouth with tempered glass popping off and dust getting under it.

So, really hating tempered glass on this device. Had good luck for a few weeks with a fresh install of tempered glass by white stone. But it quickly degenerated into working 0% of the time.. at home and tried a Chinese brand I thought was going to be worth trying after they peppered me with ads on Facebook and it was awful. Doesn't have enough adhesive to even get it close enough to the screen that regular finger presses register.
The idea of a wet apply is growing on me because I think at least it will not make my fingerprint sensor useless. Maybe I will try yours but getting a little tired of thinking money into protecting this thing. It's naked right now and I love that the fp sensor actually works but I feel like I'm playing with fire .
I had whitestone dome - developed a very fine crack across the glass - decided to replace with the spare whitestone glass and buggered the installation (first time ever after installations on many devices over the years) switch to Rinke Dual Wing 4 weeks ago and extremely impressed. Finger Print scanner works perfectly - any indentation you cause will disappear with the film relaxes. Highly recommend.
BTW never had a finger scanner issue with whitestone dome glass - it worked flawlessy.
Rinke extremely easy to put and get rid of dust as you do it.
I installed ESR Gear's tempered glass screen protector and a clear case, and camera protector for that matter, in August 2020 and never been happier: no dust, no air bubbles, fingerprint sensor works and one can see the phone in its original - Mystic Bronze - color.

I second the Dual Easy Wing have them on both my wifes and I Note 20 Ultra's. If these Dumb A$%^&&*& would stop making these useless rounded edge screens we would be good.
