The tempered glass is a reinforced glass specially designed to cover and protect your mobile screen from scratches and other damages. It does not affect the screen's functionality. In case your phone is dropped, it does not guarantee that the screen won't break along with it, but it provides additional protection.
It features adhesive across the entire surface, unlike edge glue protectors which only have glue around the perimeter. This helps ensure better application and smooth operation of the touchscreen. Additionally, it prevents dust from passing underneath, which can happen with edge glue protectors when the perimeter adhesive wears out.
