Anyone notice how easy it is to wipe fingerprints off the screen?

[brian85]

I've owned a ton of phones and this is the first phone where I can literally wipe across one area once or twice and all the fingerprints are completely gone. On my previous phones I would have to wipe over and over to get everything clean.

So easy that the screen protector I purchased from TMobile "wiped" off...

I'm paranoid about scratching the screen so I want a screen protector, but it came off so easily lol

If it makes you feel any better, I dropped my tv remote (pretty heavy) directly onto my screen today and there isn't one single scratch.

I honestly don't think screen protectors are necessary for newer phones.

Keep believing that. My G2X got scratched within a week of having it. I dropped it on it's back, and in the process got some grit on the screen. It scratched while wiping the grit off.

Obviously...that is your fault. Specs of sand or something will scratch the screen if you wipe it off with it on there. I'm very careful before wiping the screen...I blow off the screen first, then kind of brush the microfiber cloth very quickly over the screen to get more off, then finally I use pressure to wipe the screen.

With my previous phone, I didn't use a protector and it looked brand new the day I sold it.

Yeah this screen stays clean.. I took the screen protector off and noticed this. And whoever said its hard to see this screen in direct sunlight was completely lying.

Are you serious? Someone actually said the screen is hard to see in direct sunlight? I would have to say that the person who said that is downright lying and trying to bad talk the Sensation to justify there purchase of a different device. I can honestly say, the display on the Sensation performs in direct sunlight better than any phone I've EVER used. I can't get over just how easy it is to read in direct sunlight. I put it next to my G2X and it wasn't even a contest.

Two posters above, what is the date on your sensation box and where does it say it's from?

Exactly what I thought bro! Just trying to down this phone because they don't have it or a Samsung fan.

And my sensation is 5/25 but I will be replacing it soon because my WiFi is completely terrible I have the death grip issue bad.

Lots of people have said that in various threads and forums. Seems most people only have great things to say about it. I should have mine tomorrow and can report back my findings.

Gorilla Glass is a wonderful thing!!!! My G2 screen still looks new after keys and coins in the pocket.

What is your display/brightness setting on? If mine is the highest then I have no issues seeing the screen in direct sunlight. However, if I have it set to auto, then it's not easy to see. The date on my box is 5/25/11.

Looking carefully at the screen, is does not seem to be a plain glass. There is what looks like a clear coat! Even the refloection on it when its off are not totally straight like on an ordinary phone, an HD2 for example. So I would suggest that there is some kind of (semi?) anti-print coating.

Note that the HD2 was also having a Gorilla Glass.

My 25/05/11 Sensation gets smudges on its screen very easily, and they are difficult to wipe off. It's also pretty hard to see in sunlight unless it's on maximum brightness.

Strange how I'm getting the opposite experience to other people here - jealous of you!

Hd2 did NOT have a gorilla glass.
