so today I have an interesting product that's making a bunch of claims this showed up and I was like I gotta test that out I just I don't know it's a screen protector that claims to enhance your battery life improve your signal strength and reduce the amount of radiation coming out of your smartphone into your face that's a lot of claims for a screen protector it's from tech armor they've got a little image here 15 minutes of cell phone use this guy's half dead as you can tell silent threat the jury's out on this whole radiation situation their new screen protector is going to push the radiation out the back of the phone by blocking it from coming out of the front but honestly the thing I'm most interested in is this increase this improved signal strength with improved signal strength you can also often realize better battery life as well in fact they're saying up to 40% longer battery life so in this video I'm gonna take some signal strength readings on this iPhone 10 right here prior to installing the screen protector then I'll install the screen protector and take the readings again in order to see if it actually does improve signal strength and gets around 30 bucks maybe Willie do can give us the big number 30 bucks did I nail that I just test okay it's 30 bucks it does all these other things now you guys may remember I did a video in the past about a case enhance the battery life what happens is when you lift it up and slide it you'll notice it lines up with the antenna on the iPhone pretty much as expected it feels pretty substantial actually it's already nerve-racking I'm already starting to get paranoid here about installing the screen protector although I feel like I've gotten better at it over the years device cleansing wipes all right so there's this special mode you can go into on your iPhone you could try this yourself type in star three zero zero 1 cache 1 2 3 4 5 hash star and then dial it and it brings you into this field test mode this gives you all kinds of information about your phone now the key stuff for us is in the serving cell measurement right here now our signal strength lives right here our SRP zero you can see we are at minus 108 in this case since it's a - figure the lower the number the better the signal you can see it fluctuating a little bit this is LTE this is on the Rogers Network our SRP one represents the next closest cell tower the thing to do now is to install the enhanced tech armor screen protector and see if it can boost that up at all still - 117 115 nothing like a nice fresh display it actually is pretty easy to install part of that's because it doesn't attempt to go around the curve alright so the screen protector is installed now let's launch back in - 109 sledded update here give it a second - 107 - 106 all right so are the same benchmark right now we're we're where we might 105 - 107 mmm - 105 again - 107 so I mean very marginal like the other one was - 106 and then - 109 okay fine let's try and hold it does it need to be touching your face or something there's a patented layer that redirects potentially harmful radiation up out and away from your body to lessen exposure this process creates a stronger usable signal from your smartphone which can extend battery life by up to 40% but in what circumstance what like perfect circumstance what you need to take advantage of that because my signal strength is at minus 116 right now and that's worse there's obviously some issues here they may extend beyond the capabilities of this screen protector if we don't see an improvement in signal strength then we also can't necessarily buy the claims that we're gonna get this battery life improvement without the better signal strength you're not gonna get the better battery life and then you also got to bring into question the whole radiation silent threat scenario what exactly is this extra layer doing now as a screen protector it's pretty nice easy to install and it is a 9h tempered glass I'm guessing - what they did is create some perfect scenario to get their numbers in testing but this is the real world it actually appears to get worse when I'm holding it go and check this for yourself type that code into your iOS device and see what kind of reception you're working with look if this screen protector is doing anything it doesn't appear to be doing anything I don't necessarily buy into the other claims your results may vary if you had a different experience with this I'd be interested in knowing about it but as of right now I'm saying it's just a screen protector it's a half-decent screen protector I'm gonna say probably skip this one based on these initial findings if anything comes up and I noticed some sort of change I'll let you know today you have I got to tell you the truth here okay I've got to give you the evidence and that's what it is tech armor you want to reach out send me an email and say look here's where it improves you're in the park it's a full moon cumulus clouds foliage then you see the improvement you want to let me know you let me know I'll give you a chance ok ok there it is the truth shall set you free
