Screen won't break
- Thread starter dontpanicbobby
- Start date
I dropped my S20 from waist height onto a stone patio yesterday. It bounce on three corners before lying flat on its face. No cracks, no scratches.

My daughter's S8 has been dropped so many times that there are pieces of glass missing in places and it still works, and even survives her using it in the rain (which surprises her). So whatever else I might say about Samsung (and they have had some major ethical issues) I have to admit that they can make a robust phone

So after starting this thread I somehow managed to scratch it. Definitely get a screen protector folks.

Ordering tonight.
Does any of that screen goop that's supposed to fix scratches actually work?

I don't know about those- sounds like a 3AM Billy Mays advertisement that wakes you up.
Anyway, a friend once had a set of glass polishing compunds in multiple grits that would eventually buff out a scratch.
I have heard, but not tested, that baking soda mixed with water or toothpaste can also work, but my guess is that they would work best on plastic screens.

I had a Samsung one torment with no offense to the phone manufacturers! THEN he did not turn on, then the screen flashed and I bought a redmi and am enjoying life now!

Then you can try a screen protector from Gadgetshieldz where I bought one for my S21 Ultra and it gives good protection. I dropped my phone 3-4 times but it had no impact on my screen because of this protector. I'll drop a link for you,
