[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] tigerzen:
With the manufacturing process tends to be mature, more and more S7 edge glass protectors come to the market in different quality standard and features, customers could have more choices to give their beloved devices a good protection. As an ordinary consumer, how can we distinguish from various glass protectors in market? Or we have to spend dozens of dollars to test and throw it away? If I’m a shop owner, how can I find a qualified supplier to supply me good quality glass protectors? Here we have done a test on all the S7 Edge glass protectors you may have seen or purchased before

From the left to right,

A= silk print white, B=silk print black, C=silk print golden, D= silk print translucence, E=original electroplating blue, F=electroplating black

The annual flagship S7 Edge comes with 4-side curved display, this unique display requires the glass protector should be with the same shape. From above photo we may not find any difference, but why price differs a lot? Our test will be based on the following factors that can affect user’s experience.

1. Oleophobic Coating

This coating will help to reduce the fingerprint on the glass protectors and make the touch as smooth as the screen should be. Normally, there are 2 ways to spray this coating on glass protector surface, vacuum plasma spraying and manual spraying. The easiest way to test the coating quality is to drop some water on the glass surface and move around. And the test result is as the following,

A=silk print white

B= silk print black

C= silk print golden

D= silk print translucence

E= original electroplating blue

F= electroplating black

Due to the surface tension, if the coating is well-proportioned and compact, the water should be as round as possible.

from above photos, we could see the glass # A/E/F has better coating test result.

2. Fit

This is the most important factor which will decide if the glass protector can fit the screen well and provide customers with good experience. And we will check the sensor/camera hole, menu/back button backlight, touch function. Each part will get 5 star if performs well, let’s see how it goes.

By checking above factors, we could see that there is no 100% perfect glass protectors. We need to ask ourselves why we need a glass protector? I may answer you, 1[sup]st[/sup] to protector my screen, it must fit well and function well. 2[sup]nd[/sup] to make my phone stand out. If you are with the same above 2 ideas, then we will recommend you glass #E original electroplating and #F electroplating black.
