I have recently purchased the Xiomi Redmi 3s, and then I purchased a flip cover which offers adequate protection.
I have read that the Redmi 3S does not have Gorilla glass, but it does have "strengthened glass".

I wanted to know I i need to apply any type of screen guard to my phone, or is it fine without any screen guard?

Get a tempered glass protector. Flip cover won't prevent scratches from dust particles/nails during usage.

It's not about a question of need. You can use your phone without any flip cover or tempered glass protector. But it's good to have a glass protector. I think tempered glass protector is more important than a flip cover.

Yes, you need a tempered glass for your Redmi 3S. Tempered glass screen protector significantly protecting devices from normal scratches, dents and dings smudges. If the screen is with tempered glass, it will not be broken when your phone dropped. however, the normal screen guard can't make it.

If, it doesn't have Gorilla Glass, then I suggest you to go for Tempered glass protector.

Tempered glass protectors don't protect from falls. My Samsung Galaxy A7 (2016) had a tempered glass protector with a silcone back cover and fell from a height of 3 feet. Nothing happened to the tempered glass or the screen, though the LCD beneath both of them was shattered which needs replacement.

A film screen guard and a silicone case that covers the edges of the screen are more than enough for good protection. I'm using Gadgetshieldz film screen guard and Leton-US case that has a bumper around the screen! Tempered glass always cracks in a few months.

Yes, if possible buy an UV glass screen protector. Glass protector unlike film absorbs the impact and shatter to prevent the screen from damaged
