oleophobic coating? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does xperia z has oleophobic coating or any kind of coating?
From experience of xperia T, scratch easy with stock screen protector, taking off screen protector attracts finger prints and smudges. Also hard to get off unless use glass cleaner. The glass has a resistant vs oleophobic coating.
With Galaxy S3 oleophobic coating, its smooth and easy to get finger prints off without glass cleaner.
It will be a deal-breaker for me, as much as i love the design and material on xperia z.
Some kind gentleman take off screen protector and tell me how is the glass it self feels like? does it feels like the xperia T?
I dont care about which glass is stronger, i want a smooth screen without screen protector.

It is the same glass. So I think it should feel about same.
Xperia Z ruined for me.

They apply a shetterproof film on the screen. If you don't want it - you can replace it with any other screen protector - or apply a second one on it. It doesn't affect looks or screen responsivness - so what's the problem here ?

Jeez... I think I might cancel my pre-order. How could they get this so wrong?!

This video is about Xperia T. There is no evidence that Xperia Z is the same other than "she said so".
Also, a shatterproof film is suddenly a bad thing...i'm confused

If you've been using a mobile phones which include a oleophobic coating for 5 years its quite a backwards step to use one without. The screen is the interface to the eye and the finger after all. Did you see the way that screen protector got scratched?
Personally I don't like screen protectors, for others that don't mind then all is good
Some people like salted nuts, others dry roasted. Nothing too confusing I hope! :silly:

I honestly don't care as i always use a screen protector and am quite used to them. If i can have both antishatter and antiscratch protectors on at the same time, without compromising display's clarity and responsiveness - it's even better.
Having just glass would be nice - but i don't believe in Gorilla Glass anymore. Had 3 phones with GG1/2 and they all got scratched very easily before i started to use protectors - so yeah, if you don't like screen protectors, Xperia Z might not be the best option as it most likely will scratch without one due to not-so-scratch-resistant antishatter film.

You must be a school child with comments like that

If you look carefully in videos on youtube it would seem that the back of the handsets attract more prints. Perhaps the front and back use different layers on the glass.
Bare in mind these are all pre-production models.

Screen looks and touch experience is my problem. I had both, xperia T, S3 and note 2. S3 screen looks very nice, feels very nice and smooth. I use swype, so i swipe alot. Using xperia T is nice too, but its not the same experience as oleophobic coating on it(S3).
If xperia z has the same glass as the xperia T, then its a deal breaker for me.
Hoping Xperia Z will be using a different glass and some kind of coating under that stock screen protector.
Note- I dont use screen protector, so replacing stock screen protector doesnt work for me.
Waiting patiently for a retail version Screen review.

Here's a good durability test from a different sony device. Hmmm seems pretty durable to me....

note screen size and device name Xperia ACTIVE

Still note that Xperia is still Xperia. Unless Sony decides to downgrade their screen technology... And size may affect durability but not in that type of tests.

Come on guys, it did ruin Xperia Z for me too. BTW gorilla glass's purpose is to prevent shattering. Oleophobic layer is done above it and that catches scratches. Same vlogger did a detail video explaining Gorilla Glass's myths of being scratch proof.

From all the prototype xperia z, it seem like it uses the same screen as xperia T. Hopefully it doesnt use the same screen as xperia T. I had both phone and xperia T is disappointing. If its the same screen then its a deal-breaker. Still waiting for retail, Somehow xperia z upgrade there phone, dont put on stock protector and put a layer of oleophobic on it, they they score gold. If not, then lots of people will be disappointing, unless your a screen protector type.

As soon as i get any sony phone out of the box i remove the factory fitted screen protecter.
The screen looks better without it, the screen is tougher than the protector so always looks better as it does not get scratched.
I keep my phone in mypocket with car keys and loose change, my screen has not a single scratch on it, but the screen protectoer always gets scratched and attracts dust....Its my one and only complaint about the phones

I don't like or use screen protectors either, that's why I'm interested in taking it off or not.
However the thing that worries me is how "oily" it remained when the girl removed it.
Right now it certainly attracts dust like crazy, but a quick rub with my sleeve and it's clean again. In the video however seems that the bare crystal is not so easy to clean off.

R: Removing Anti Shatter Screen Film
My Xperia T was not "oily" at all when I removed the screen protector. It was perfect. Just get comfortable while trying to make the first peel, because it may send you nuts.
I started from the narrow strip above the earpiece hole, used a stitch needle to weaken the protector plastic (the glass won't get any scratches from it) and then managed to lift it off the surface... it then came away easily.
Without the screen protector, I don't have dust on it anymore (i think it's electrostatically attracted by the protector). It is more oily, for sure, but the oil makes your finger slip better on the screen, and I like that.

Same for me.
I removed it 3 seconds using a needle then peeled it off, cleaned with dishwasher rinse aid (innovative alternative for proper glass cleaner) on a micro-fibre cloth.
Screen is so much better. Crisper, less dust and I'm not really getting finger print marks; same as with protector.
Glad I took it off and did the same with my X10. You do wonder though why Sony don't use top grade glass on most of their phones. Strange.
I happen to like the feeling of the screen protector it's super ultra smooth but sadly as we all know super easy to scratch I think mine retained it's scratched from a little bit of pocket lint and some bubble gum rappers kinda makes you think WTF Sony WTF any how it doesn't look like she truly cleaned the screen proper and what we all want to know is what the phone is really like with out the glued on screen protector ?
What is it made of is it any thing like my Xperia arc which doesn't feel so great after I use it with my dirty work hands but if actually clean it feels alright.

Slender watches what you do...
I have to say that the built-on proctector does not feel good to me. My finger could not glide well at all. For the moment I have put the thinnest screen protector I had for the T and that has made a world of difference.
Just a question. If Sony use some kind of shatter-proof glass (Corning's gorrilla or Asahi Dragontail (don't they make beer too?)) why do they stick a thick sheet on top. Makes me think it is not very shatter proof!
Who makes the glass for the T?
It is Corning Gorilla Glass, according to a Sony rep on Sony Mobile Forum
A follow up to the girls video,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2qdwsFd-Qw
.
But do we beleive that?
Most Gorilla glass customers state they are using it, the same way they tell you the manufacturer of the processor.
The white paper for the xperia T that came out in Sept.(ver 3) just says:
"Shatter-proof sheet on scratch-resistant glass"
Gorilla glass is shatter proof as well as scratch resistant
After noticing that the screen protector on my V was literally covered with probably 100+ microscratches from being in my pocket all the time, I went ahead and took it off. The screen looks much better now, but gets much greasier than before. No big deal, it's just like my old phone. What I really don't like, however, is that I lost my Sony logo, as it was printed on the screen protector and not the handset itself.
wow, that is a real suprise, I wonder where Xperia and Sony are printed on the T, any comments from those who took it off?

You may be right, the post at Sony Mobile were a Sony guy states it is Gorilla Glass, has been deleted.
Emailed Corning but they can't disclose info because of a privacy clause.
gsmarena state it as shatterproof and scratch resistant glass ( http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_t-4899.php )
i dont like the screen protector but as i have only had the phone for like 6 hours in going to keep it on for now
Well Sony make a distinction between the two.
"Shatter-proof sheet on scratch-resistant glass"
I did not like the sheet, so I stuck a proctector on top that that feels much better.

[Q] Which glass is being used?

Title says it all, which glass is Sony using for it's XPERIA Z's back and front? Corning Gorilla Glass, Dragontrail, unknown manufacturer? I've seen many articles and they all seem to say something different. Anyone with a definite answer? Thanks in advance.
Front: Dragontrail
Back: Gorilla Glass II

No he can't since he doesn't work for Sony.
And even if he did, he would just have said that the phone uses tempered glass aka we will never? get an answer why they used different kinds of glass, we can only speculate.
Maybe one glass if better to swipe (aka touch screen) and the other has more grip??? Pure speculations:silly:
RoChinu said:

It doesn't make sense to me either. Maybe Dragontrail is very expensive and they decided to protect the screen with it ? Have no idea mate but that's what Sony confirmed on their Hong Kong press conference.
Before I got my Xperia Z I have spoken to the official Sony rep in Poland. I have asked him a lot of questions about the glass that they use on the phone. The way he explained it is that Sony has many different suppliers. The glass is supplied by either Corning (Gorrila Glass 2) and whoever makes DragonTrail. Noone will be able to tell you which glass is on your device as it can be either. You could have GG2 on front and back, DT on front and back or a mix of the 2.
Either way both glass types are tempered glass. On top of that the back of the phone has a antiglare layer on it, so if you try to do a scratch test on that glass you will take the layer off.
Hope that clarifies everything.
Really what difference does it make what glass they use? They are shatter resistant like most other phones glass screens.
There is obviously a reason they choose two different types, again it doesn't really matter, it just works.

So read/search the forums instead of creating yet another thread of the same questions, already answered so many times.
why are any of you so sure it is Dragontrail or Gorilla glas Sony are using ? they never said anything about what glass type it is... only describe it as mineral glass
All you need to care about is that the glass is strengthened in the phone, and has a layer to assist in the phones resistance to shattering. You are getting a flagship phone with high specs for your cash.
Really who cares in reality, Do any of you ask which saftey glass is in your car windscreen. If you do, then seriously get a life.

XtremeGuard Screen Protector!

Always I removed the film from my Sony smartphones when were scratched, but afraid to remove the Sony logo, I intend to buy a film to not scratch the original film.
I'm afraid of losing the image quality and touch.
I found this on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/XtremeGuard...028108?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item51a810dbcc
This film is good?
Nobody !??
It's very good. But it's really hard to perfectly apply it to the device. I tried 3 times and failed miserably. lol.

Here are photos. It is not totally perfect but for this price it is great. I also have zagg and bestskinsever and zagg is for me very expensive and not so good quality as this one. No it does not scratch a lot because it is not plastic film it is like rubber. Also like zagg and other.

I suggest you try one of the various cheap hard plastic screen protectors that are available. This cost only a few dollars so you can change them once every one or two months. That's what I do with my Note II
I think the point wawyed was making was your device is not scratched, the pre-installed film is.
There are quite a few threads on this exact topic already.... you can remove the pre-installed film if you wish - but you may loose your Sony logo. There are a few good replacement films out there (Spigen)
Bottom line: remove the stock film and replace, or leave the stock film - and put yet another one on top of it.

The back of my phone has a couple of hairline scratches - I presume it's because of the bolts near my jeans' pocket. But the screen is fine so far. :victory:
Do you think that will be available a screen protector like the anti-shatter film that Sony put on the phone? It's scratching very easy and I'm thinking that if something similar will be available then I will remove the one from Sony and put that one. On other Xperia phones is available this kind of screen protector?

I think the chance of that happening is 1%, but I am surprised that companies haven't brought screen protectors with the sony logo/text.
Also a thing Sony could do is to bring out a services to re-apply the anti shatter sheet for us, specially since it scratches so easy.
Anyways, the reason why I don't see it happening is because the anti shatter sheet is being applied by a device, it needs to fit perfectly or it might lose it's function. Screen protectors can be applied by men, because it's only there to protect the device from scratches and such, not to stop the screen from shattering, even though normal screen protectors also do that, but on a smaller scale.
1. There is no screen protector with Sony logo because of patent / copy rights. It would be very expensive to get the right to use the logo.
2. Sony already offers the service to replace the anti shatter film. Costs about 20 bucks
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9100 mit Tapatalk 2
20 bucks is not much but I think is not ok to charge me that money for a piece of anti shatter film that scratches very very easily, I've put an cheap film and I will look for a better one in the future to preserve this anti shatter , but extremely scratching film from Sony. That's a huge minus for them. A gorilla glass would be a perfect solution, too bad that Sony didn't think of that. But I still love the phone
I'd prefer to completely remove the anti shatter film, but something is still holding me back. Maybe it's because I payed some hard earned money for that thing, whatever don't wanna argue about that here.
I did not put any other protection film on my XZ. I think it's odd to have two on you display and to be honest there is nothing compared to real glass. the feeling is way better... still don't wanna argue 'bout that.
so I have no protection on my display and I do not use a case... "this guy is an idiot" ...I will buy one soon; I promise. For now I use a little bag where I used to keep my sunglasses. Btw Krussel has some nice covers. "get to the point dude!" ...I keep my XZ in a sidepocket of my jacket and there is nothing else in that pocket and stil I got a few scratches on my display. It does not bother me at all. You have to look very closely to see them. What I am trying to say is that the anti shatter film scratches very easy and as far as I remeber there is gorilla glas underneath... so close, yet so far. I can live with that... for now. Someday I will take it off anyway. I just love my plain black XZ without any logos. LOL, I used to put a little piece of dark tape on my old s2, just to cover up the logo.

[Q] To use or not to use screen protector

Hi all. It's been over a month since Xperia Z was released. I was hoping to get some answers by people who didn't apply a screen protector. How is it going for you guys? The anti-shatter film scratches real easy? Thanks.

It's known by everyone that the anti-shatter sheet scratches fast, but you should still use a screen protector in my opinion.
That way you can never be sorry once your expensive phone gets scratched. Better be safe then sorry.
