I didn't they say would. They will test the panels. Probably do batch tests because they make so many. They make the glass. Of course they are testing the glass. I didn't say they were individually putting each panel they produce into a phone to check but to assume they don't do form fit checks would be strange.

They make every panel of glass in house. The claims of durability are theirs. Cornings.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] rodrigofd:
Just want to leave my actual experience with the phone, on my last 7 days of use since I got it.

I'm using it with a slim TPU case, bare screen. Extra careful handling, no mixing with objects in the pocket, no accidents whatsoever.

After 5-6 days of use, I can already see some light marks/scratches, specially across the top border of the screen.

They are not visible most of the time, but they appear once you hit it with light on a certain angle, and they annoy me as hell.

As some other user told me here on XDA, it's likely due to microparticles living on my pocket, that end up creating this "misterious" scratches at some point.

This is specially relevant on this N20 Ultra, because of its huge size and its difficulty fitting on any pocket whatsoever.

And this has happened to me with my last 5-6 Galaxy phones (S20+, Note10+, S10+, etc), with their so-called "Gorilla" glasses.

So no it's not scratch resistant, certainly not a bit more than most of the previous generations. Not sure about crack resistance though, but I'd rather not test that myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] pcriz:
I've always liked to point out that a lot of their focus is on shatter resistance. And unless they managed to magically change the laws of physics, the easiest way to avoid shattering glass is to make it "softer" this means the hardness is lowered so its less brittle. Problem is, thinking of it simply based on hardness and softness, softer glass scratches. Its why products like whitestone are so brittle, their hardness is higher.

Its not the worse trade off but like you said. Scratches are annoying.

Personally I ignore anything about gorilla glass. Unless they put a warranty against it, I'm gonna take measures to protect my investment.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] rodrigofd:
What do you guys suggest for good scratch protection, with the least impact on touchscreen & visibility possible? ( I don't care about drop/shatter protection, I've got Samsung insurance)

glass is glass and glass break.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Venom0642:
Seriouly wow , everyone knows glass will break doesn't matter how strong they make it, but at least the Note20 Ultra beats all glass phone atm it's one of there strongest glass now, So if your looking for a Superman glass Keep on dreaming, like i said glass is glass and will break.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] blackhawk:
This phone is heavy with a very thin bevel and everything that's likely to hit has limited shock absorption.

With a 3 ft fall into concrete it can pull potentially many hundreds of G's. High G loading can destroy solid state components as well by fracturing internal bonds.

It needs a case.

The curve in the glass helps keep the body from flexing. It may either help or lessen it's impact resistance however cases can't have raised edges on the right and left sides of the screen without impending usability.

Cases should have raised top and bottom guards though to provide some faceplant protection.

I have a 10+ and only take it out of it's case when neccessary.

With the curve screen, the right case helps prevent accidental screen touches, gives good access, grip and fall protection. It becames part of the phone and makes it much easier to handle. The case* has saved this phone at least a half dozen times. To spite some rough drops it's still unblemished.

*I always use a screen protector as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] pcriz:
No one said Superman phone. Just users trying to quantify statements by the manufacturer and understand how durable their purchase is. Chill bud, this is what this forum is for.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] blackhawk:
Glass is an amorphous solid and subject to the laws of hydraulics at times. It can behave strangely almost seemingly unpredictably.

It's very strong right up to when it breaks...

Is thicker better? Remember sub hulls; some thought the thin hulled ones held up better than the thicker hulled ones to a close depth charge detonation by deforming rather than fracturing.

That laws of hydraulics thing come into play here too with thinner/thicker glass, how much it can deform without fracturing and how it transfers the forces of the impact. Thinner glass towards the middle may help it to absorb impacts on the curved section without fracturing.

Glass is really witchy stuff...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] pcriz:
That's why I rather not leave it up to chance. This topic comes up and we have a plethora of opinions on it, there are the cautious folks with otter boxes and tempered glass and etc. There are the folks that will say they never use a case or never use a screen protector and don't even get scratches.

I like to put myself in the middle. I've bought and sold too many phones on swappa and such to trust the average persons idea of Mint with the number of scratched to hell devices people have tried to pass as perfect. I toss a skin on because my device is naked at home and I live in a windy sandy location and even with a case sand gets in and rubs against the device. Outside I usually toss on a Spigen, I'm lucky enough to have a factory screen protector so I try to make that last as long as possible.

And if I drop it, despite all the wonderful things Corning has to say about themselves, I won't be surprised if it doesn't survive.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] blackhawk:
Yes, getting dirt in the case will mar the sides.

Cases also flex a bit.

Happened with my S4+/Otterbox over a period of years. Not a fan of those cases anymore.

So far my Bolt case has done well, I break it down at every month or two. I use teflon tape carefully stretched down both sides stopping short of the mic/speaker holes and the spen hole.

Eventually it may marr the aluminum frame but that's better than a deeply scratched or broken phone.

Really with no case the 10+ is like a slippery fish, I don't like it.

With the case and the phone's great dust/water resistance I have a truly active phone with an easy to replace housing. Perfect.

Without a case this very expensive phone should at the very least have a tether*.

Lol, not in Samsung's vocabulary.

*the Bolt does have a tether but it seems a tad wimpy.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] pcriz:
I have the case that came with my phone. I may get one with the ring built into it. I usually avoid the ones with the rings in them because I like a thinner case but the thickness required to level out the back and protect the cam is making me reconsider that. I saw a nice one that was gun metal grey and bronze but now I'm living in Korea so I don't know what brands are good and what brands are Chinese mass produced that I'd be over paying for.

It's funny here though, NO ONE goes caseless. It also helps that you get a free case with any phone purchase, not just in the box but from the retailer.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] blackhawk:
With pro cams I always used a tether but they weigh a couple pounds and you're literally holding $7+Gs in your hand.

Not as useful with the phone as it gets in the way. Nice for securing it to a belt loop when it's in your pocket. However the clip holster is quit secure and provides a lot of additional fall protection.

A good case on the phone protects it very well in most circumstances. The spen has the annoying habit of popping out in a hard fall; make sure it's still secured and don't accidentally step on it after dropping the phone. Lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] howie411:
Exactly what I was getting at. Corning made a claim their glass can survive a 6 foot drop. That is obviously not the case with the Note 20.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] blackhawk:
They use a standardized drop ball test so results are repeatable and standardized. Direct impacts to the glass center is what is measured. If the glass has been prestressed by previous events including assembly also effects the outcome.

You need to protect this phone from corner and side impacts...

I think I was the first to break mine last week lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] blackhawk:
I feel your pain...

What it fall on? How high?

Dropped my 10+ the 2nd day I had it on a piece of aluminum angle stock and of course it faceplanted.

It landed on the curved glass, marred the factory protector but nothing more... I was expecting to see what you posted:(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dottat:
Samsung clear case. Slippery as hell. Even worse when you've been working with wax lacing string and your hands are dirty. My employee and I both watched it slip from my hands and fly directed into a network cabinet. Hit the corner edge of the metal cabinet (solid and heavy) into the edge display in a bright ass flash off light.

We both knew before I picked it up. Crazy thing is I was more upset I finally had my setup right and my battery issues sorted lol.

Employee said to me the following night "I didn't want to say this until now but you took that much better than I thought you would". Just sent it out today for the factory repair @ 269.99.

Helluva bday present to myself it's turned into.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] blackhawk:
Lol, I've done that end over end, flying through the air drop thing... and yes, yes they can fly, briefly.

Any job worth doing... :(

These phones are time consuming to set up and optimize. The 2nd reload will be better; I'm on my 3rd hard reset.

The Zizo Bolt case is easy to grip and their 10+ case works well, not sure about the 20 U variant.

At least it wasn't a brand new $6G Canon Pro Shooter you dropped... been there, done that.

Since our S9's launched with Android 8.0, I don't think that Samsung will update to Android 11... And in my opinion, Samsung already done a great work with S9's, bringning OneUi 2.1 and 2.5 later. Anyways, I'll sign the petition.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] jamil aboudaher:
If Samsung considered bringing OneUI 3.0 for the galaxy S9 series, they should adopt a better RAM management algorithm because 4GB for the S9 isn't enough anymore. The performance is already messed up after OneUI 2.1, and there's a lot of overheating, and I always find a lot of unnecessary apps running in the background for no reason, like secure folder apps (I rarely use Secure folder), gallery stories (which I disabled long time ago from gallery settings), Samsung pass (which I don't use frequently), Galaxy Buds (I only used it once when I tried my friend's buds), Gallery app and Samsung keyboard which always take 100-300MB each, even when not in use, and many other apps.

I know the list is very long, but it's driving me crazy :mad:

PS : All of this happens even if all apps are closed from the Recent menu.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] -Luigi.:
I don't think it is really necessary, Android 11 most important feature is the introduction of inbuilt screen recorder, which our Galaxy S9 already has since Android 10... so we really aren't missing much, only some notifications changes and some other minor things.

You shouldn't really care about receiving this update... it probably will only make your device slower to be honest hahah

If you REALLY want this... wait for custom roms, they will be lighter and faster than the official one would be.

Anyone an idea?

Thanks in advance!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Tilgi:
The first thing is a realy nice idea, i never tought of this option ;)

No i tought of an TMC Antenna wihich might be plugged into the USB Port of the Diamond, just like an optional TMC Antenna for usual navigation systems.

Something like that available.

The traffic subscription is no option for me.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] andy2111:
Something like this ?? http://www.cartft.com/catalog/il/627

It says it's compatible with pocket PCs and "all common navigation programs". You need to buy the adapter so it has a mini-usb socket http://www.cartft.com/carpc/catalog/item/?wm_item_id=93

Would be very interested to know how TMC works using this within TomTom7

Also there is this http://www.amazon.co.uk/TomTom-9V00-101-RDS-TMC-Traffic-Receiver/dp/B0019JDDB4/ref=pd_sbs_ce_3 but I think this might be for the standalone TomTom units??
