Summary

  • A ceramic coating on your smartphone can keep the screen free from greasy fingerprints and is more environmentally friendly than the traditional Perfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) coating.
  • Ceramic coatings are already used to protect surfaces from scratches and water adhesion, such as kitchen worktops and windows, as well as on sunglasses.
  • Testing by Justin Duino of MakeUseOf found that a ceramic coating, as well as making the screen resistant to dirt, made it more resistant to scratches, although the coating needs to be reapplied after about three weeks.
  • The report did point out that a coated screen does not remove the need for a screen protector and the coating can also be applied to the back glass and metal edges of the phone for all-round protection.
  • Duino also suggested that once you have used a ceramic coating, you will begin to think about what else you can treat.
