Corning has introduced a new protective glass for mobile devices. It replaced Gorilla Glass 6.
What have changed
The company focused on three factors:These are scratch resistance, drop resistance and price. Firstly, since the release of Gorilla Glass 3, little attention has been paid to scratch resistance, but Gorilla Glass Victus in this regard is twice as good as Gorilla Glass 6 and four times better than its competitors (as the manufacturer itself states).
Secondly, glass can withstand falls from a heightup to 2 meters. For comparison, for Gorilla Glass 5 this figure is 1.2 meters, for Gorilla Glass 6 it is 1.6 meters. Resistance to repeated drops has also been improved: the glass can withstand about 20 drops from a height of 1 meter, the previous generation - 15.
True, this does not mean that in any caseThe protective glass will not break or become scratched. The company's vice president and lead researcher of Gorilla Glass, Jaymin Amin, admits that Gorilla Glass Victus can be scratched if there is dirt, sand, or hard metals in the pocket with the smartphone, but “for you, this means that the likelihood of scratches is very high.” is decreasing."
Finally, the third factor is the price, and it will be the same as Gorilla Glass 6.
Who is first?
Corning says it is the first company towill release a smartphone with Gorilla Glass Victus, it will become Samsung. This will happen “in the next few months.” Most likely, it will be the flagship Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, which will debut on August 5.
