Which brand of glass is on Xperia Z3 Compact?

[DeGraaff]

As the titles says, I'd like to know which brand of glass is seated on the Xperia Z3 compact, for front as well as rear? Or is it just generic tempered glass?

My z3c took a 3 foot fall off my table and landed on the lower left corner of the phone, there is a mark on the side but no cracks at all in any of the glass, this happened a week ago and it landed on ceramic tile.

Amazing!

You are the exception of the rules

As you have read all these threads with the broken glass you are very lucky!

Hope you'll never have the same problem.

Hopefully never does, I purchased mine used off of eBay so I don't have any chance for warranty coverage.

Just to say, I've nerver seen so weak glass. On my Z3 compact, the front glass broke while in my pocket probably from bending after 2 weeks of ownership. The rear glass broke after a drop of not even 2 feet on the wood floor, 2 days later. Ok there was no cover yet, but i dropped my old nokia lumia while walking on concrete. It made several bounces and only had a few little ligth marks on a corner... I would expect a lttle more durability for such expensive sony device. And yeah, you can say bye to your waterproofing!

I have lots of friends that have regulary dropped phones of all makes and cracked the glass, in all the times I have had new phones (MANY) I have NEVER had a problem. The Z3 is just fine, if your clumsy enough to drop it, bash it, its YOUR fault not the phones.

Go buy insurence next time !

I somewhere read that Z3 uses sapphire glass.

If Sony itself isnt sure then to whom are we suppose to turn??

this really bother me. z3c i like it, but... the glass is just like iphone 4, which bring up a comparison as if z3c glass is old feature. any thought?

but it doesn't mean i support the iphone cycle to iphone 6, which i still prefer z3c

Not sure i understand your query - Are you saying the the glass is the same? worse or better?
