If you take Oneplus 8 phone, most of these UV tempered glasses come at minimum price tag of 499/. In such a case, you have to follow a painful and tedious process of getting each bit of glass off the display. The problem increases further if the tempered glass does not come with shatter-proof layer and you end up with tiny bits of glass stuck to phone. This is because the LOCA (adhesive) is lot stronger. It requires significant effort in many cases to remove a LOCA gel based glass. Unlike a normal tempered glass or PET film, it is very hard to remove a tempered glass glued using LOCA gel. A normal tempered glass costs 70 rupees (approx) and is very easy to remove. Over a period of a year, we tend to change tempered glass atleast once. There are many in forums asking suggestions to remove the tempered glass that is glued to display and is not coming off (when they want to replace broken tempered glass).

This is a headache as you have to move the UV light over the phone over and over and over for 10 minutes. Once you apply the glue and put on the glass, you have to treat the glass with UV glue for 5 to 10 minutes, sometimes even more. ![]() Given that you only get one vile of glue, if this happens, you have to clean up, buy new pack and start over again.

As you use Ultraviolet light (UV) to harden this liquid glue, these accessory makers started calling this ‘UV glass’.

UV tempered glass sound so catchy and it sounds like some high end tempered glass. Though the product pages show that it is better than normal tempered glass, that it sticks better and provides better clarity, the reality is very different.
