Gorilla Glass?

Couldn't find any clear reference to it: does the Mi 5s have Corning glass (like Mi 5), or not?

thanks

It seems has Corning glass but I am not sure.
I used Honour 8 now I am using mi 5s. It seems that their screen touch feel almost the same.

Yes, gorilla glass 4 confirmed:good:

confirmed... where?

gsmarena reviewed the device recently and they say: "Unfortunately, Xiaomi didn't mention any specific glass protection for the screen and we can confirm the Gorilla Glass 4 is gone for good. The Mi 5s acquired lots of big scratches on top of its display just in the week we had it for a review. We suggest that you apply a screen protector on it as soon as you take the phone out of its box."

If you look at the review of Mi 5s, Mi 5s Plus, and Mi Mix. All of them use the same paragraph. It's like a copy paste job. So I'm wondering if they really do a proper tests on these phones.

Also on JerryRigEverything channel, he did a drop test Mi Mix (who ALSO mentioned no screen protection whatsoever in GSMarena spec) from sitting position, the crack on display was horrible.

I was wondering if Mi 5s would also fail with the same test. In that case, would a case/ screen protector save it?

it seems that the ceramic is harder than glass and because of that the glass breaks.

Think body of Mi 5s will be okay, but screen will shatter on smallest drop..

Following is a link to a durability test done on a Mi5, I'm assuming that this also valid for the Mi5s

As a new user I can't link to external sites, so please check youtube site and search for "Xiaomi Mi5 Bend Test - Scratch test - Burn test - Durability test" video was created by JerryRigEverything.

No it is not, because the Mi 5 uses a completly different Case and also different Glass.

Thats why people ask here because it is nowhere mentioned what glass it exactly is.

Got the Phone for my GF but seems like a sratches pretty fast. but I already have some on my S7E, so no difference.

Hi,

From several posts on the Xiaomi forum, it turns out that the mi5s Plus DOES NOT HAVE GORILLA GLASS but uses a in-house glass hardening from Xiaomi.
I now have the device since 3 weeks and use it as my daily drive.
I doesn't have tempered glass to protect it.
I do not take more than basic precautions (I don't put the phone in my pocket where I have my keys).
After 3 weeks : not a single scratch, even the tiniest one.

Regards.
