Corning, the American Glass manufacturer has unveiled its Gorilla Glass 4, claiming it can survive a drop from 1 meter and can survive collision with rough surfaces. These days many smart devices are using Gorilla Glass 3.
Gorilla Glass 4 provides at least two times improved damage resistance over competitive aluminosilicate glass, as measured by retained strength after damage events, resulting in improved mechanical durability of the glass to in-field damage events, such as drops.
In a drop test conducted by the scientist at Corning concluded that:
- Gorilla Glass 4 is up to two times tougher than competitive glasses
- Gorilla Glass 4 survives up to 80 percent of the time
- Soda-lime glass, as deployed in today’s commercial devices, breaks nearly 100 percent of the time.
Since its launch in 2007, Gorilla Glass has been featured in more than 3 billion devices. Now its time for Gorilla Glass 4…
