Shields deflect projectiles or mob attacks from a wide distance

Projectiles like arrows or mob attacks gets deflected from a wide distance without directly hitting the shield. I believe this issue relates to MCPE-109423

What I expected
Projectiles or mob attacks that tries to attack a player that's is using a shield would get deflected once it hits the Shield directly like in Java Edition

Observed Results
Projectiles or mob attacks gets deflected from a wide distance without even hitting the Shield itself directly.
