The tempered glass is a hardened glass, specially designed to cover and protect your phone's screen from scratches and other damage. It does not affect the screen's functionality. In case of a phone drop, it does not guarantee that the screen will not break along with it, however, it is an additional protection. It has adhesive over its entire surface, unlike edge glue glasses that have adhesive only on their perimeter. This helps in better application and seamless touch screen functionality. It also does not allow dust to pass underneath, which can happen with edge glue when the perimeter adhesive wears off. It is 5D, which means it has undergone special processing to acquire curved edges that will cover the entire surface of the phone screen. This way it is not apparent that the screen has protection, but additionally, the curved edges are also protected. It is compatible with Huawei Nova 8i.
