Introduction

The Honor X5b/X5b Plus/X5b+ 4G 2024 Yesido Premium Hydrogel Film (Model: 8696j65d8) promises a bubble-free, flexible screen protector experience. But does it deliver? After several weeks of rigorous testing, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review.

Features

This screen protector boasts several key features, including its flexible TPU material, which conforms to the curved edges of the Honor X5b/X5b Plus/X5b+ screen. The self-healing properties are a significant advantage, minimizing the appearance of minor scratches over time. The inclusion of a positioning adhesive label simplifies the installation process considerably. The manufacturer claims high-response haptic touch technology, ensuring compatibility with fingerprint unlocking and maintaining a smooth, responsive screen experience.

Performance

Installation was surprisingly straightforward thanks to the positioning label. I had no bubbles after application, and any minor imperfections smoothed out within the promised 24 hours. The touch sensitivity remained excellent; I experienced no noticeable lag during regular use, including gaming and scrolling through long lists. The screen protector provided adequate protection against minor scratches. While it isn’t as robust as tempered glass, it certainly does the job for everyday wear and tear. I did notice a slight reduction in screen clarity, but it was minimal and not particularly bothersome. The oleophobic coating wasn’t as effective as some others I’ve used, and fingerprints were a bit more noticeable.

During my testing period I subjected the protector to a couple of more strenuous tests. While it held up relatively well against minor impacts, anything more substantial might prove too much. In essence, it’s a good balance between protection and flexibility.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Easy installation, flexible and conforms to curved edges, self-healing properties, maintains good touch sensitivity.
• Cons: Not as scratch-resistant as tempered glass, slight reduction in screen clarity, fingerprints more noticeable than with some other protectors.

Final Verdict

The Honor X5b / X5b Plus / X5b+ 4G 2024 Yesido Premium Hydrogel Film (8696j65d8) offers a decent balance of protection and ease of use. The flexible design and self-healing properties are major advantages. While not perfect (the slightly reduced clarity and fingerprint susceptibility are drawbacks), it’s a solid choice for users who prioritize ease of installation and a slim profile over maximum scratch resistance. For the price point, it delivers what it promises. I would recommend it to users who prefer a more forgiving and flexible screen protector option.
