Lol. Baba me no get mind o. Personally I don't believe in repairing phones cause most times when you take your phones to them for repairs for say your screen. They'll repair it and your mouthpiece may start malfunctioning. I used my last Huawei for straight 4years without any form of repairs.

By your logic those who buy phones of over 250-300k and want to try to protect their investment by using TP or case are careless abi? Na so.

Oh really? I doubt it. I sent a mail to Jumia about the delay in shipping of my items. It’s supposed to be delivered between 3rd and 17th of June. I got a mail stating it would be delivered on or before 1st of July. This has to be an effect of the global pandemic.
Ok sir.

Not everyone games though. I use protective case too, but take it off when I want to game. I can't bear to have any form of scratches on my phone. Makes me lose interest

good morning fam. I am facing the temptation to remove/discard my screen guard, because it reduces the beauty and clarity of the phone screen. I am only considering this because my phone uses the Corning gorilla glass 5 (Redmi 7) but I really need first hand experience from guys who have been using their device without screen guard, is the Corning gorilla glass as hard as they advertise? is it really scratch resistant?
please advise, to prevent the adventure from ending in tears.

I've been using my RN7 for almost a year now without any screen protector and I've not had a single scratch on the screen!

However, as a new user back then, I was very cautious of my device. I didn't wanna take chances even though the manufacturer explicitly stated the phone came with a Gorilla Glass 5 (the best back then as far as durability is concerned).

So I opted to get a screen protector during the first month I bought the device. I ordered from AliExpress and the tempered glass arrived in a few weeks.

I was glad. At least my device would have extra protection. But unfortunately, my excitement was short-lived.

As I was about putting the tempered glass on, it broke! I dunno how it happened but it broke even before I had the opportunity to have it settled on my phone screen.

Apparently, the tempered glass I was hoping would protect my phone was even more fragile than Cabin biscuit.

I thought about getting another tempered glass. But once bitten, twice shy. So I said screw it! Ama use my device with no screen guard whatsoever.

It's been almost 12 months and I and my phone have lived happily ever after since then.

The weird stuff is, my phone still looks like it was bought yesterday! I would love to applaud my cautiousness, but I don't think I'm really that careful.

I sleep on it mistakenly [sometimes]. My female friends take it away for hours for photos and movies. It has fallen from a transit. It has dropped from my hands [countlessly]. It's been mistakenly thrown to a wall.

Behold, my RN7 liveth on. NO SCRATCH on the screen! Probably I'm just lucky.

However, here's my final verdict: If your screen takes a hit than it can bear, it will crack! Tempered glass or no tempered glass.

The Gorilla Glass 5 is solid. It can withstand a considerably strong hit and even repel scratches (I can attest to this). As for tempered glass, in whatever variation they come, they offer no real protection for your device. You're better off using your device without one.
