    I have a quick question. Does BB Q5's screen use Gorilla Glass?

    Thank you,

    Doubt it. It's a "mid tier" phone.

    Shame about that. It's a nice little device, and they will probably end up having long service lives, just like the legacy devices.

    For the record, "Gorilla Glass" is a brand, not the item itself. It's like Kleenex to facial tissues. Most phones typically have a type of gorilla glass, but can't say that if they don't want to spend the extra dough for the rights.

    Is it as scratch resistant as Z10 or Q10's screen? Because I have no scratch issue on my Z10's screen at all even though it's not gorilla glass.

    The Z10 is using gorilla glass. It's just not called gorilla glass.

    Gorilla Glass is just the brand name of a specific type of scratch-resistant glass.

    BlackBerry uses a different scratch-resistant glass that isn't called Gorilla Glass because it isn't made by the same people.

    Well, let's make it clear. Q5 uses glass, but I have to say it's pretty weak. My wife crashed her Q5 a couple of days ago. Glass was shattered in pieces. I was surprised at how easy it was broken by a single (and very first) fall. All of my previous BB (8520, 9000, 9780, 9790, 9810) had a plastic screen capable of withstanding multiple drops to almost any surface. Also I had several Android devices falling off many times on the tile, asphalt, etc. with no major damage or even scratches on the screen.

    It's not funny but I can't find any replacement parts for Q5, except the back cover.
    Well, who cares... she asked me to buy the same one again.
