  • The display unit is ultra thin, a feat achieved by some serious fusing. The digitizer is applied directly to the glass and fused in turn to the LCD.

  • The downside: Shattering the glass means losing all touchscreen capabilities. A drop from ear-height on concrete spells death.

  • The glass is not the lauded Gorilla Glass, but a new kind of hardened display.

  • The display gets three cables which correspond to, as far as we can judge, the LCD, digitizer, and backlight.

  • The digitizer cable is home to the Synaptics Clearpad 3203 Capacitive Touchscreen Controller to manage all the snazzy Z10 gestures.
