Why Phone Screens Are Still Made From Glass And Not Plastic 

Hey Bright Siders! What invention would YOU like to see in the future?

Did you know *The first handheld mobile phone weighs 2 kilograms ( i.e. 4.4 lbs) and it was demonstrated by John F. Mitchell and Martin Cooper of Motorola in 1973.*

Glass : Scratches at level 6 deeper grooves at level 7 Glass is glass. Glass breaks

They always go off topic in these videos, the question was why manufactures don't use plastic to make phone screens.

I remember having an older Motorola with a plastic screen. It was basically indestructible and I think it's better to have few scratches than a spider web

Bright side is wrong since Samsung making phone with glastic with it "plastic look like glass"

Random facts of the day : the first computer was made in the 1940s AND space smells like searing steak

Him: “phones will have screens on both sides in the future” ZHC: *crying*

Perctly operational plástico screens até not in the Future, but the present. I own a Z2 Force, It has palstic screen. Works perfect. It scratches but you can simply have a replaceble Glass film on top of it.

You have to press harder to "touch" the screen. That's why. The real question is, why does Apple glass break so much easier than any other glass screens 🤔

Anything can survive a fall, it’s the sudden stop that gets ya.

i think that in 10 years smartphones wont be a thing anymore

Well that's easy, because glass scratches at level 6 with *deeper grooves* at a level 7...

It went from screen material to future smartphones😆

Which is why the Samsung fold and z-filp are made out of plastic instead of glass, cuz there's no way you can bend glass

I love how theirs a video called ur phone is old and this video is also about a phone lol 0:34

Plastic melts when over heated DONE, explained

Have you ever heard disaster worse that the titanic? Do a story on the mv wilhelm gustloff, the worst maritime disaster

1:21 this is my biggest fear. I always worry of breaking it in two while using it.

Roses are Red Ketchup is too Yay I got a like But why is it Blue?

I could really care less of my cell color, cause it will always be in a case.

2:18 is happening in Nigeria already

4:53 "one day we would have hologram" Company: let's make charging more and more faster until the battery always overheats!

Before he could get million views in 10 hours and now only 100k views , why???

I have the solution!! Just get a phone with a glass screen and put another screen from plastic on it, that's what I'm basically doing

I hope that they create phones that support solar that atleast battery will not going to 0%!!!!

Mine doesn't have gorilla Glass but the imbuilt glass is very hard, meaning when dropped more than 2 meters it still works without some cracks.

There is such thing as armored glass. Why don’t they use that? Using that much glass in production would lower the cost....

I have the motorola zforce 2 for the past 3 years and it has the moto shatterproof plastic screen that is layered it has instant touch responce great resolution and i can smack my phone on the corner of a table on the screen and nothing breaks ive dropped it on concrete from a second floor metal outside stairs without case and it had no noticeable damage there are barely any noticable scratches with keeping it in my pocket with keys and change for years it also has the moto mods ive never had a phone this reliable but sadly its getting slow due to it coming out around 2017 and the new versions that work with the mods have glass screens i wish phones companys would bring back the plastic screens we definitely have the technology to make a plastic hard enough to be scratch-resistant and shatterproof

Polycarbonate is stronger than glass and is what makes bullet proof glass, They make a laminate with polycarbonate and glass.

In old Star Trek they had idea of "transparent aluminium", which recently has been made, its transparent, strong, thin, can fall from 100 meters. Developers should use it before their concurence ,')

1:43 the phone is for flexing

3:18 Would unlock your phone, open some app, wait for it to load, select your microwave, wait for it to connect, then press a button or just press a button on your microwave to switch it on?

Oh wow. Bright sides budget and overall video quality has improved. Nice!

My home can already open my door with my dad’s phone. We can also open my front door with a code, but we don’t have a key anymore for our front door. LOL!

You learn something everyday

idk but I like a manual hand help phone other than holographic phones hopefully old phones can also be used in the future

"Smart Home" is the ultimate house arrest for big brother and hackers to take advantage of gullible consumers who put convenience over meaningful lives.

The person reading this may you have an amazing day and may you stay blessed with your lovely family and may your dreams come true..I m trying to get to 1k. I been struggling to get there .....❤

Me: I want a futureistic phone! Future phone possibilites: Bendy, wrist wrapped, holographic projector, Me: Please, keep the ordianry phone design PLEASE FUTURE! I BEG YOU!!

Sapphire is the best screen for a phone but i think most companies don’t use sapphire because it’s expensive

I got my first Smartphone on my 11th Birthday and dropped it in the toilet the a few months later I fell out of my pocket and the screen cracked then the phone started glitching and still is to this day my dad phone life 😭😭😭😭

Some mica crystal is already used for bendable curved surfaces....maybe that's the future of phone technology.

The video you clicked on ends at 2:07. The rest of the video is just “wow phones are cool haha!” Thank me later. Or don’t. I don’t mind.

Jusr get a ceramic one like mine

The BURGLAR part just makes sense

2:19 lol you guys forgot GOOGLE PAY.

Wow the camera under the screen is scary 😩

3:42 if this is the case, we will become lazy ++.

I think my tablet has gorilla glass was on my tablet im using my mom's phone now but my tablet survived 10+ drops in different heights! or maybe the edge on my tablet is too long and it was the one getting damage whatever it is my tablet is still alive for 8 years!

You can also put on Liquid Armor that is sold at Staples which prevents scratches, as it as hard as a diamond

In 2077-If you see any human or thing on earth so run for help 😂😂

4:45 that's a warm welcome to stalkers 😖

The newest phones have drop resistant glass

"plastic has alot of inconvenience" Me an intellect: *PHONE IS PHONE*

2:17 WHAT ABOUT IPADS?!?!?!

There is already a under screen camera called ZTE Axon 20

Noice now we can have floating phones and every thing of phones

"Even the smallest bump can cause your phone screen to shatter." Me with my samsung galaxy J7 neo: oh I dont think so.

ZTE AXON 20 ALREADY HAS UNDER-DISPLAY CAMERA

Hope u reach 50 million

1:47 My Phone is Like That , I Drop it From 111cm And It Doesn't Even Does A Scartch

This is really really cool love your vids!

4:45 you won’t even know someone is watching you

Flexible displays that use plastic Durability: 0

Who came here for knowledge

future may be great with this things but in more future our selves might be just the smartphones

But why does the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip have a glass screen but the glass doesn't break when it bends?

Here in Kenya phones have replaced as lot of traditional banking operations.

more storage in phones please!

why dont we just use screen protecters? an amazing invention...

What if we replace phone screens with bulletproof Glass

The other really annoying problem with glass, and plastic for that matter. Is that the surface reflects light, so you can't see the display in direct sunlight. Too bad the glass couldn't be the display.

3:16 thought that was a pen

I think plastic is better than glass, can't they use some form of scratch resistant coating for the plastic and they can also make the plastic screen thinner but that would make plastic screens phone more expensive

Look up myth busters on Gorilla Glass. It was eye opening. Fun to see them bend a piece of glass almost into a half circle.

1:50 wrong. Even gorilla glass scratches at a level 6 with deeper grooves at a level 7, it won't be damaged by keys or coins, but pocket lint can cause scratches and microscratches. Fools

it was 4:14am where i live when this vid was released btw

So ur saying iPhone 600 pro will be Edith from spider man far from home

There's no likes or dislikes so I liked it

Plastic: phone just got a level 8 so that phones have plastic in level 9

Plastic Scrathes at level 3 with deeper grooves at level 4 Glass scratches at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7

tip: a case that goes over the hight of the glass will make breaking way harder on a drop

But if smartphones will have the shape of glasses people with normal glasses will not be able to wear these smartphones

NO ANY PRAISE IS ENOUGH FOR THIS LEGENDARY CHANNEL

My phone is everything

*_Who else is watching bright side during quarintine?_*

Black mirror series :)

Plastic: Scratches at level 1. Deeper grooves at level 2.

My phone already dropped like 19 time's but it's didn't get broken

Turning on the microwave with your phone doesn’t make any sense unless you have some left overs and that’s still is a head shaker

I was happy u mention the most innovative and always thinking out of the box - SAMSUNG

What if someday powers are available as load that can be sent and bought right away🤔

1st: all of us bought a plastic screen to protect the screen. 2nd: future mobile phones how it'll look and the title of the video!! Nothing commons between them!

The inner screen camera and reading mode came out there still some work for inner screen camera

The phone on your risk is like peridot. We already have google home.

How do this happen A phone is not thicker but your hand can enter it

3:07 hey bright side can you tell me what the name of that phone is, I need to search if its real, im this 🤏 close to finding out what it is, it would be great if you can help

does xiaumi redmi 9 has gorilla glass? (mine has transparent black bg so i can see out and has reading mode)

My phone have glass or plastic? Idk
