Why Phone Screens Are Still Made From Glass And Not Plastic

Why Phone Screens Are Still Made From Glass And Not Plastic

Nowadays, most smartphones are covered in glass to make them look nice. But this design choice has a drawback: even the smallest bump can cause the surface of your phone to shatter. But why are phone screens made of glass, and not something harder to crack like plastic? Plastic is more resilient than glass when dropped. And you could actually buy smartphones with plastic screens for a much lower price. Maybe this is gonna happen in the future?

Speaking of the future, phone manufacturers are always looking for new ways to make our gadgets more durable and smarter. And sometimes when they start thinking about what the smartphones of the future will look like, they end up with some interesting ideas. There’s a chance that smartphones might one day completely replace our banks and credit cards. And smartphones will probably play a more important role as ‘authenticator’ systems!

  17. LukasJeTu on October 9, 2023 at 10:41 pm

    my screen protector is from glass, it survived a fall from stairs, but it did not survive another glass being hit on hit, i have it cracked 2 times to rhe right and once down, because of my stupidity
    oh and not to forget the fact that once i had to replace the protector and my case…

    Lol this video is barely about phone screen glass or plastic. So how ended up as a promo of what phones could be.



  37. BRIGHT SIDE on October 9, 2023 at 11:01 pm

    Hey Bright Siders! What invention would YOU like to see in the future?



  38. Jon on October 9, 2023 at 11:02 pm

    If you’ve ever owned an old phone with buttons, you’d know that over time the plastic screen would become scratched up to the point you can’t even read your screen. Rainbowish scratches are the worst



  39. DRAGONGOLPO on October 9, 2023 at 11:05 pm

    You went too over board



  40. jaxithedragon on October 9, 2023 at 11:08 pm

    ZTE AXON 20 ALREADY HAS UNDER-DISPLAY CAMERA



  43. realEYEZrealizeREALliez on October 9, 2023 at 11:12 pm

    so much half truth in here



  44. dillydadally on October 9, 2023 at 11:12 pm

    I’m going to respectfully but strongly disagree on all these reasons. There’s actually a few examples of plastic screen phones that prove them false. The best phone I ever owned was a Moto Z2 Force, which was a rare high-end smartphones that used a plastic screen. After years of the toughest use you’ve ever seen – a million drops on concrete with no case or screen protector whatsoever – the screen still looked great and felt just as responsive as glass. It had a few light scratches (but my glass screens get those too) and they were not even visible when the phone was on (and could probably be buffed out unlike glass). Best of all, with no case, the phone weighed only 155 grams! Every other phone to me now feels like holding a brick in my hands! They all feel horrible in comparison and like I’m holding a device from 20 years ago instead of a new one! My Z2 Force feels so much more premium in comparison (other than the large bezels and lack of an OLED screen of course).

    The only negative to the plastic screen was it attracted smudges and fingerprints really badly (that could be wiped off easily), but I have to think if they put as much effort into making a plastic that is smudge and scratch proof as they unsuccessfully have into making glass shatterproof with small drops, they would have something much superior to glass. There are even spray coatings that are supposed to eliminate that that I never tried.

    The only draw lback in all of this humman histroy is that not everyone cooperates and honestly open minded



  46. Miles on October 9, 2023 at 11:14 pm

  47. Pr1nxcessx-Gacha on October 9, 2023 at 11:15 pm

  48. Munmun Das on October 9, 2023 at 11:16 pm

    There is already a under screen camera called ZTE Axon 20



  49. caitlandd on October 9, 2023 at 11:17 pm
