Neither Oleophobic coating, nor scratch resistant. Its IPS LCD panel, as said.

But I have seen screens with the gorilla glass outside and IPS LCD inside.
Rather, many phones use the scratch resistant glass.

I put a screen protector on it ANY WAY.

Scratch on the screen

I've got 2 scratches on the screen one of about 2 cm and a smaller one of about 8 mm.
Is it possible to get just the screen replaced ? I don't want to have too much trouble replacing it as I've kind of get used to it, but it doesn't look pretty.
Had BTW a dream last night that the screen got shattered - fortunately I woke up and look at it and thought PHEW
EDIT: Whoops - this should have been in Q&A ...
Did you take the factory screen protector out ? If no then every X10 comes with a screen protector already applied. You can check the edges you will notice it.
Damn.. I did not know there was such a thing
Thanks for telling me - but how do you remove it ?

Grow your finger nails or ask some with BIG fingernails. A knife will do it but may damage the fake chrome in the side. Be careful.

Just put a new one after removing the old one.. it becomes moisture sensitive without it.
In my X10 box, there were tree of this protectors. So you can replace without buying a new one.

I removed it and replaced it with a spare and I now have a screen without scratches. Thank you so much for mention it. Otherwise I might have been going down to the store where I bought it and would have given them the laugh of the month
EDIT: Could your help be a sticky? I don't think I am the only one who wasn't aware of the screen protector.
I think X10 has got a scratch proof screen ??
I read about it on gsmarena and many other sites ..

Yup, it has a scart proof screen. If you're not a messy person you will not get any scratches on that.

Crystal glass.
My watch has the same material.
But that does not make it invulnerable.

Mineral glass, crystal glass... same thing different name.
Mineral glass is ordinary tempered glass made from silica. It is more scratch resistant than Plexiglass which is a plastic also used for watch crystals.
The most scratch resistant crystals are usually mineral glass coated with synthetic Sapphire.

Gorilla Glass does not have mucht diffrents with the crystal/mineral glass from the x10.

Corning Gorilla Glass?

Hi friends.
i have a Xperia X10, i want to know if Corning released any Screen Protector for handsets? i mean -individual protectors- i know that the Gorilla Glass its pre-installed in lot of hansets, but i want it for my Xperia.
Cheers !!

U trolling? Because Corning.g makes screens not screen protectors...
Besides they sell directly to manufacturers not retail.

Gorilla glass is the screen glass itself. It's not a screen protector. Sure, it's possible, if you want, you can order the glass yourself, measure it to fit your X10 and take out the stock glass, and replace it.
But it'd be hard to do that, and I don't know how much a Gorilla glass costs.
Thnx for explanation friend. Gonna email to Corning asking that.. i´m fan of SE but no Handset with Gorilla Glass T__T ..
Cheers.

im not trolling.. just have a doubt about that.. im not from USA, im from El Salvador and here we do not have much info about retail vendors.. so i made a question cuz i like the Gorilla screens, a friend of mine hace an HTC and Motorola with GG.. and its awesome.. no scratches . SE Stock protector is not good as the GG screen.
Cheers.
I don't think Sony will release a Xperia Handset with Gorilla-Glas...
As far as I know only Motorola uses Gorilla-Glas.

here's a full list to avoid others chipping in.
Why would you even need it?
The mineral glass that the x10 screen is made of is very strong.
my x10 was impossible to scratch, the lg phone i have now already has a scratch.
Gorilla glass is good, but in the end just another marketing ploy

Sorry, getting gorilla glass through Corning is going to be cost prohibitive.
I've tried to order custom sized pieces (just plastic for something unrelated) and there are a few things working against you.
Corning will not do a one-off order. They themselves will require probably a minimum 10,000 pieces.
Corning will need to design the piece, this upfront cost will be included in your first order. And they'll probably need at least 1 donor X10... probably multiple.
There are a few companies that make glass similar to gorilla glass - but you're probably still going to have to order it in bulk. And then let's hope that they got the measurements right the first time.
Unless if a company thinks they can make money selling gorilla glass panels to users off ebay... your only choice is really to buy a new phone that comes with gorilla glass.

you didn't remove the original screen protector though, the scratches aren't on the actual screen.
I took it off and had it off for like a year and didn't get a single even scuff.
The gorilla glass screen I have now scratched much easier.

I think you still don't understand. Gorilla Glass is the GLASS itself. Screen protector is something else. If you have bought one, peel it off, and you'll see that there's already a screen protector. And if you peel it one more time, there wont be screen protector anymore. And that's the screen.

I understand everything.. i know GG is the Glass itself.. i think you are confused with the question, READ it again.. >>> i want to know IF Corning release any Screen Protector for handsets? <<< it means "possibility or existence".... i know the GG is for manufacturers only, not in retail. But a simple answer to my question is NO, it doesnt exist. Well im looking for a good screen protector some ppl use Amzer or EZguard. If someone knows any Screen protector better than those plz recommend.

Did Radar have gorilla glass?

Many websites had said that Radar has gorilla glass.
But what do u, radar users, have to say?
Had u scratch it already?

The radar has no glass

According to the HTC Technical Support, yes, it is Gorilla Glass...
But whether it is Gorilla Glass or not, it is NOT scratch proof. Put on a screen protector before it is too late. No display is scratch proof yet.
Yes it does have gorilla glass on it.
I have a DVP with gorilla glass and the radar. I tell you that the radar has no gorilla glass.
I have a small scratch on my screen Tiny one, but some how I manage to made it
Corning Gorilla Glass is a requirement for all Windows Phones. Although as stated above, nothing is scratch proof...
Corning Gorilla Glass is NOT a requirement.

i don't think so!
It does have gorilla glass.
my Mozart has Gorrilla glass, doesn't mean it doesn't scratch. Just because someone has tested gorrilla glass ona random model and it didn't scratch doesn't mean yours wont.
Unfortunately not all Gorrilla glass is made equal, usually their 'show off' glass it much stronger. It took almost nothing for me to scratch my phone, I second whoelsec in saying put a screen protector on before it's too late!

Factory screen protector

Have you kept it or removed? I read that the P10 lacked the oleophobic coating on the screen, is that the case with Mate 10 too or is it safe to be removed?
Also read somewhere that this is only intended as protection for transport by Huawei rather than a longer term use screen protector. Is that true?
I don't know these answers, but mine has began to lift at the camera. I treat it pretty gentle, so I'm going to replace it soon.
It does have a coating and the protector feels great. Obviously won't last forever and you will have to replace it
I remove it in order to put the glass protector,
from what i feel, it got scratch too easily, but well, its plastic after all...
i bought from china and it has SCREEN PROTECTOR with glass *NOT* sett well as a mm of thescreen is not totally set and the sreen is not totallyu covered.
I took mine off. Much better without it.
I have a glass one. Bought the phone from Beijing. But it's not totally well adjusted. The left side is all moved away. The screen glass protector falls short.
rjust FYI, someone do the test in youtube(probably xda user cmiiw??)
seems like mate 10 do have oleophobic coting if screen protector removed. anyone care to test?
link to youtube is below.

Wish I had kept mine on, tried three different tempered glass screen protectors and they suck, non fit right with the screen curving at the edges

want to check if the oleophobic coating is there or not on your unit, coz it is a deal breaker for me if it isn't there since I prefer touching the glass directly. Thanks

"oleophobic" is a word used to describe a type of material, which lacks an affinity to oils, ergo – it keeps fingerprint spots off of a glass panel.
basically after touch the screen, not too much fingerprint smudge retained. in a screen with no coating, the fingerprint will drive you crazy

good coating should allow your phone looks clean after quick wipe with clothes or tissue., does your phone do the same?

Huawei Mate 10 pro oleophobic coating
Huawei Mate 10 pro has oleophobic coating on its back. You can see the later part of this video.
But the coating can be gradually removed by daily use. So i think we need a phone case.

No. I don't think it guess. To compensate same, device comes with screen protector pre-applied. But same is not tempered protection though.
I don't know for sure, but in a review video by geeky Ranjit , he mentioned that it has gorilla glass 3.
In fb they've mentioned as gorilla glass 3
