REVIEW
glass, as you see in most flagships, but there’s good
reason for this: glass is fragile.
Around the front AGM uses Gorilla Glass 5 to
protect the screen, but it’s not infallible (it’s also not
the latest version, which is Gorilla Glass 6). We would
liked to have seen a slightly raised lip running around
the edge of the display to protect it from drops face-
down, though we acknowledge that this would have
detracted from the sleeker design.
The display itself has reasonably chunky bezels top
and bottom, since this is where most cracks begin.
At the sides the bezels are reasonably thin, however,
and AGM has adopted a tall 18:9 aspect ratio to make
it look more modern and enable it to be used more
easily in a single hand. It’s still on the large side for
that, but the inclusion of dedicated buttons for calling
up Google Assistant and launching the camera go
some way to help.The display itself has
