One phone accessory that has become really popular since touchscreen phones became mainstream is the screen protector. A screen protector can be made from a plastic film or can be made of glass, however, the aim is the same – to protect the display. Today, Xiaomi has announced the Mi Protective Glass for the Redmi Note 9 Pro and Redmi Note 9 Pro Max.
The screen protector is made using Accessory Glass by Corning which is said to be an alkali-aluminosilicate glass with better protection than the one offered by generic soda-lime tempered glass. Compared to soda-lime tempered glass, this provides 5x the protection. Xiaomi says the glass has 9H hardness and claims it offers superior damage protection.
This is not the first Mi Protective Glass to be announced by Xiaomi. The manufacturer also announced for the Redmi Note 8 series last year. Just like the one for the Redmi Note 8 series, this too has a notch even though the Redmi Note 9 and Redmi Note 9 Pro Max have punch holes.
Actually, both the Redmi Note 9 Pro and Redmi Note 9 Pro Max phones have Gorilla Glass 5 protection on both sides. Nevertheless, the Mi Protective Glass should provide additional protection for the displays of the two devices.
Xiaomi is yet to announce the price of the tempered glass but we believe it will not sell for more than ₹599 (~$8) when it goes on sale on July 30.
