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?

I do not know the answer,but if you have searched the Z2,Rickard stated about Z2 being Gorilla Glass 3 if I remember correctly.Probably the Z3 compact is somewhere around that.

For the display glass we use both Gorilla 3 and Dragontrail X but i'm afraid i don't have any detailed information about the rear glass.

Thanks, Rickard. I'm pleased to read this!

Is it possible that the rear glass may crack from excessive heat? For example, during or after 4K video recording? I have read a handful of reports where the rear glass had cracked seemingly inexplicably. One of these cases was with a unit in the following review: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=nl&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fkiip...

Rickard, this sounds great but I am a bit confused as to what you mean by using GG3 AND Dragontrail on a single front panel.

@DeGraaff

The phone has builtin protection against overheating and it will notify you and shut features like the camera or the entire phone off before it gets too warm. There's no risk that the glass would crack from heat coming from the phone.

@geccoblaze

When you buy the phone it will have a Gorilla glass or a Dragontrail glass.

@Richard
Is there a way to tell the difference? I would like to have one with Gorilla Glass but how can I be sure before i go out and buy one?

[Rickard]

No, there's no way to see the difference that i know of.

I'm a bit confused. Mr. Rickard says that Sony mobiles support Gorilla 3 & DragonTrail X but I couldn't find any such description either in the phone manual or the white paper document, both of which I downloaded from Sony's website. Kindly, state where I can verify what type of protection does Z3C support against scratches and/or shatter?
