True or myth?

Which of the declared manufacturers of liquid protection is real, and which is a myth? Among the properties attributed to such a tool are:

• effective protection against mechanical damage;
• improved tactile sensations;
• getting rid of small scratches;
• moisture resistance.

Which of these properties are real and which is fake? It should be emphasized right away that there are a huge number of varieties of tech nano - liquid protection. Manufacturers position the product as the best on the market, holding promotions and advertising protection even from being hit with a hammer on the display. However, the reality is different, and the properties that liquid are attributed to are a myth and a publicity stunt.

Based on numerous tests, only a few properties turned out to be true:

1. Smoother surface - Using a thin layer of coating from the tube will not remove scratches from the screen, but the surface will be smoother and more pleasant to the touch.
2. Less glass scatter - even after being damaged, you will not "lose" half of the glass or fragments at the moment of impact. Also, the phones will retain the performance of even a broken sensor for the time required to save data or urgent calls.
3. The protection against moisture penetration acts on the already protected glass.

Rule number 4. Choose wisely

In order not to fall for the tricks of unscrupulous sellers, when buying, also pay attention to the following details:

Absolutely all protective glasses are made for a specific phone model or a line of smartphones, if the screen parameters are the same. When doing this, check the placement of the holes for the camera, speakers, etc. Cutting, sharpening, sawing out this accessory is prohibited!

• The strength of the glass must be indicated on the packaging.
• Consider the application conditions when choosing the thickness. For everyday living conditions, the average thickness is quite suitable. For extreme conditions, thicker glass or more expensive options should be selected.
• Gloss or dullness has no effect on the degree of protection. In this case, you choose a cover that is convenient for you.

And, of course, additional services. When buying an accessory, almost all chain stores try to impose the service of gluing protective glass.The cost varies everywhere within 200-600 rubles, depending on the cost of the smartphone itself. If you calculate it, you get a decent amount per year, since on average glass replacement must be carried out 4 to 6 times per year. It is not so difficult to install a protective glass on your phone with your own hands, while you can save up to 5 thousand rubles a year.

How it differs from a hydrogel film

The protective hydrogel coating has certain features. The film is made of a polymer material that helps absorb and retain moisture. This product is characterized by high strength, which protects the monitor screen from scratches and frayed areas.

The advantages of a hydrogel film include the following:

• resistance to mechanical damage;
• complete transparency - due to this, the material does not affect the color transfer;
• ease of fixation on the device screen;
• maintaining high sensitivity of the sensor;
• lack of harmful components in the composition;
• protection of the surface from fingerprints;
• durability of use;
• the possibility of multiple fixing;
• affordable cost.

A distinctive feature of the hydrogel film is the possibility of self-healing of the surface. In addition, the material has anti-reflective properties. Images on the monitor can be viewed even under the open sun. In this case, the material does not suffer from exposure to ultraviolet radiation. The film is easy to clean. Fingerprints do not remain on its surface, therefore it is possible to clean the surface of the device with an ordinary napkin.

Rule number 1. What is a protective glass

It is made of tempered glass, which is pre-treated with special impregnations and chemical compounds. When compared with a conventional protective film, it is noticeable that a device made of glass is 2-5 times thicker, which means it is more reliable.

Layers

High-quality protective glass for your phone consists of five different layers, each of which performs its own function:

1. Silicone base. This is the first layer that provides a secure adhesion of the glass to the smartphone display.
2. Restraining. If the display is damaged, the glass will not shatter into pieces, and the crack will not go far.
3. Anti-glare. In sunshine or bright light, the screen stays bright and the image is clear.
4. Safety. Provides reliable protection of the display from chips, abrasions and scratches.
5. Oleophobic. Protects the surface from moisture and grease.

High-quality protective glass should perform several more functions in addition to the safety one, therefore, when selecting, be guided by a similar composition.

Varieties

There are also several types of glass, namely:

• Glossy.
• Matte.
• Private coverage.

Glossy finish is the most common. It is characterized by excellent screen brightness, without distortion, it performs protective functions perfectly and is almost invisible on the display.

Frosted protective glass tends to distort the picture a little, but its main advantage is that the image will not fade in sunlight or bright light. Therefore, if you are often outdoors or in bright rooms, it is recommended to use a matte finish.

A private cover is a special darkened type of glass that has a peculiarity. The fact is that the contents of the display are visible only when viewed at right angles. If you look at the phone from the side, you will see only a black screen, but as soon as you turn the gadget towards you, the image will immediately appear. The use of such glass is relevant if you want to hide the contents of the screen from prying eyes. For example, in public transport, only you will see what is displayed on the screen.
