gs2 scratch resitant or not !!

[readbmr]

Hi, can anybody tell me if the galaxy s2 has a scratch resistant sreen ? just wondering as the guy in the phone shop done a demo of the sensation with his car key and wow no scratches , what i need to no is that he said the s2 has the same sreen protection but not as good !! is this true ? Thinking of getting the s2 tommorrow is this a good idea as i used to own the galaxy s but wow the s2 im sure just blows the s away..


Many thanks from brian

Yes, it's called gorilla glass and most high end phones have it. I bet that the guy who done the demo must be a HTC fan.

Scratch resistant but not scratch proof. You still have to take care of it, so don't keep it in your pocket with your keys or use it on the beach without protection.

Yes. Factor 15 at least. Or it'll get mega sunburn. Poor thing.

Must be The SGS EyeEye is selling faster than the SGS did and that went fast

At least factor 30 if you got a white or pink one I'd leave it at home if you have a red one

If you take care of your phone no, if you dump in with bag/pocket with keys etc then probably a good idea

Mine sits in its own pocket in my bag, so all it comes into contact with is me and the table/desk and I don't need a screen protector or case. Screen protectors do attract grease so your screen needs cleaning more often. But if you are going to walk around with your phone in the same pocket as your keys or money you'd be wise to get a screen protector and case as a precaution.

A bloke on another forum ran over his SGS2 with a forklift and these are the resulting pictures







What these prove are that whilst the screen is tough...it can't quite take a forklift truck's weight ;-)
