In a recent advisory, Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi has raised concerns regarding the use of liquid UV adhesive screen protectors. These protectors, although popular especially for devices with curved displays, come with potential risks that users need to be aware of.
The liquid adhesive utilized in these protectors has the capability to seep into delicate areas like buttons, charging ports, and speaker holes. This infiltration could lead to various issues such as unexpected device restarts, button malfunctions, and even damage to the phone’s casing.
Risks Highlighted by Xiaomi
Xiaomi emphasizes that opting for this type of screen protector might void the warranty of your device. Consequently, any repair expenses arising from damage caused by the screen protector installation would be the user's responsibility.
While some experienced users may successfully install liquid UV screen protectors, the dangers associated with improper installation are substantial.
Xiaomi's Recommended Alternatives
As a safer alternative, Xiaomi suggests considering traditional screen protectors like tempered glass, non-tempered glass, or electrostatic films. These alternatives offer protection without the risk of liquid intrusion.
