Smartphones with Gorilla Glass
Gorilla Glass
— a special extra strong glass used to cover the displays of modern mobile phones. This material is several times stronger than ordinary glass and is highly resistant to scratches and impacts. Nowadays, there are several versions of Gorilla Glass on the market, here are their main features:— Gorilla Glass v3 (2013). Despite its age, it is distinguished by high scratch resistance — it was possible to surpass only 7 years later in the Victus version.
— Gorilla Glass 4 (2014). Compared to the previous version, it has twice the impact resistance combined with less thickness (0.4 mm). But scratch resistance has decreased slightly.
— Gorilla Glass 5 (2016). Improvements in this version have been made to further increase the durability — it is 1.8 times higher than its predecessor, and can withstand drops from a height of 1.2 m (and up to 80% of drops from a height of 1.6 m, which is approximately the same as the human height).
— Gorilla Glass v6 (2018). Another version with an emphasis on increased impact resistance. Twice as strong as v5, guaranteed to withstand single drops from 1.6m and multiple drops (up to 15 consecutive drops) from 1m.
— Gorilla Glass Victus (2020). After v3, this is the first version of Gorilla Glass where the creators paid as much attention to scratch resistance as impact protection. In terms of scratch resistance, this material outperforms even v3 (and outperforms v6 twice). In turn, the impact resistance is claimed at the level of 2 m with a single drop and 1 m with multiple (up to 20 times in a row).
– Gorilla Glass Victus+ (2022). An improved modification of the protective glass Gorilla Glass Victus, close to ceramics in terms of scratch resistance. So, according to the Mohs mineralogical hardness scale, the glass starts to scratch at the level of 7/10, while the original version of Victus scratches at the level of 6/10.
– Gorilla Glass Victus 2 (2022). The main emphasis in the second edition of the strengthened Gorilla Glass Victus was made on providing maximum protection when the smartphone falls on concrete surfaces. The glass withstands drops to a concrete floor from a height of 1 m. Also for this generation, impact resistance is declared with a single fall from a height of 2 meters and multiple drops on hard surfaces from a height of 1 m (up to 20 times). When developing Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protective glass, weight gain and an increase in the size of modern smartphones were taken into account.
— Gorilla Glass Armor (2024). Highly durable tempered glass from Corning with improved scratch resistance. Moreover, the use of Gorilla Glass Armor reduces smartphone screen glare by approximately 75%, thereby improving image quality. A quarter of the ingredients in the tempered glass recipe are recycled materials, which contributes to caring for the environment.
