Smartphones have become an indispensable part of our daily lives, and keeping them in optimal condition is a top priority. One of the most effective ways to protect your device is by using a tempered glass screen protector. In this article, we’ll explore the key benefits of tempered glass for smartphones, and why investing in one is a wise decision.

Superior Protection
The primary reason to use a tempered glass screen protector is the enhanced protection it provides. Tempered glass is up to five times stronger than traditional glass, thanks to its manufacturing process involving controlled heating and cooling. This increased strength means that your smartphone’s screen is far less likely to crack or shatter when faced with impacts or accidental drops.

Enhanced Durability
In addition to its protective qualities, tempered glass offers improved durability. A high-quality tempered glass screen protector can withstand daily wear and tear, including scratches from keys, coins, or other sharp objects. This added durability ensures that your smartphone’s screen remains in pristine condition, preserving its appearance and functionality.

Superior Visual Clarity
Tempered glass screen protectors provide exceptional visual clarity, allowing you to enjoy your smartphone’s display without any distortion. These protectors maintain the original color accuracy and sharpness of your screen, ensuring an optimal viewing experience for photos, videos, and games.

Oleophobic Coating
Many tempered glass screen protectors come with an oleophobic coating, which helps repel fingerprints, smudges, and oil from your skin. This feature ensures that your screen remains clean and clear, minimizing the need for constant cleaning and maintenance.

Easy Installation and Removal
Tempered glass screen protectors are typically easy to install and remove, thanks to their rigid structure and adhesive backing. This means you can effortlessly apply your screen protector without worrying about bubbles or misalignment. Moreover, if you ever need to replace your screen protector, the removal process is quick and clean, without leaving any residue on your screen.

Tempered glass screen protectors offer a range of benefits for smartphone users, including superior protection, enhanced durability, visual clarity, and ease of installation. By investing in a high-quality tempered glass protector, you can ensure that your device remains in excellent condition, safeguarding your investment and providing peace of mind. Don’t leave your smartphone’s screen vulnerable to damage – choose tempered glass for the ultimate protection.

If you need your Nokia smartphone repaired, one of the first things our repair techs will ask for is your phone’s model number. There are a couple of ways to find it, but they often require the phone not to be in use, so before giving us a call, try these tips to locate your Nokia model number.

If your phone is functional:

The Lumia series model numbers can be found in the Settings menu. From there choose About, then Phone Information. Your model number will look something like this : Nokia Lumia 920.

On other Nokia phones, access your keypad and type *#0000#. This will display your phone’s model number.

If your phone is not powering on or the display is not visible:

The Lumia series data sticker is located underneath the phone’s SIM tray. Using a SIM key, eject the SIM card and tray. Now, use the SIM key to pull the tray out by inserting it into the hole on the tray’s side and gently pulling it out. Your phone’s model number is on the data label underneath the SIM tray.

On older Nokia phones, the data label is located underneath the battery, on the phone itself. After powering down your phone, remove the back battery cover and take out the battery. The white label should be visible now, as should your phone’s model number.
