Love my 7 Pro but the screen scratches WAY too easily!
It’s hardly a year old and the screen is covered in scratches and even has a few deep gouges. This is from normal use, no keys/change in the pocket. From what I understand it’s related to a choice for softer glass to avoid shattering.
Just sharing my experience. I’ve gone back and forth between galaxy phones and pixels since the galaxy s6 and I’ve never gouged a phone screen before this one.
Isn’t it gorilla victus? I thought they are supposed to be one of the toughest in market. In any case I always get a protector for every mobile I get so I don’t have to worry about these that much.
I thought so as well but there are quite a few reddit threads and support queries related to scratched displays. Maybe there’s a few bad batches of gorilla glass floating around on the pixel 7.
Usually with mobile glass, and I think this applies to victus 2, the glass is super resistant to breakage, so it’s super tough. However it is not notably less resistant to scratching
No one has quite perfected a display that is super resistant to scratches as well as breakage.
Here’s an article I found that mentions victus 2 isn’t more scratch resistant than original victus, which aligns with what I mentioned above.
I’ll be putting on a tempered glass screen protector, especially since the 8 pro has a flat screen, finally.
Oh they definitely aren’t perfect but should easily resist scratches from keys and what not with normal usage. I don’t see why it is considered to be easily scratch able compared to other mobiles. I also get protection on all sides no matter what.
i kept breaking glass protectors on my 6 and got annoyed so i stopped using a protector. got teeensy scratches on it now but i drop it all the time (on tile) and work a rough job. got an OB on it which goes above the edge of the screen so im sure that helps a bit, but ive never had a phone this durable. 8 is enticing but ill wait til i hit my 2 years and see how reviews are that far in.
I’ve had it for a bit more than a year and a half now, stopped using protectors maybe 3 months in

Bro what? My screen is spotless. I even take it biking and kayaking where it gets dirty on the screen.
You must be really bad with your phone.

That certainly is worrying given I bought one this week…

Yeah it’s insane. I’ve had mine with a protector for months. Took it off and within two weeks I got a deep gauge
It’s wild! Never on a previous phone have I ever had a gouge.

I’ve got a $10 Spigen jelly case on my p7 and very few light scratches. I’m impressed with the glass.
Using a 7 Pro same circumstances and I do not have this issue at all?
Same, but I keep dropping mine onto random metal things. I have two deep gouges.
