the is the perfect phone to use naked/raw/no screen protector/no casing

why?
1) it uses Gorilla Glass 3 which is tested to be much more scratch resistant than the later ones
2) polycarbonate body absorbs/dissipate shocks much much better than glass or metal body

also.. it's like sub 500.. so there is no resale value argument and doesn't make sense to spend another 50-100 to buy protection accessories

My Op 6T gorilla 6 also kena super fine scratch from those fine sand in pocket(This kind cant siam one)..

But yes, your 3rd sub $500 standard holds for me. Not looking at much resale value perhaps 2 years down the road when i change device so no TG for me..

gorilla glass 3 is tested to be more scratch resistant than GG5 and GG6. But drop resistance is not as good.

Sometimes you walk outside, those wind blow the very fine sand..It happens..

So when u put into WM wash, you get the consolidated bunch at the corners of the pocket..

My gf P2XL dropped and cracked the screen just in time for P4a, waiting for stocks to be in for Courts for that retail experience. Anyone got news on Woodlands Courts please share.

Wonder if they still giving away Google Home Mini as free gift.

By just to check will we get a prompt to update or have to physically tap system update only?
