Corning Gorilla Glass is arguably the most recognizable protective glass used in smartphones, with multiple iterations being released throughout the years and adopted especially by flagship phones.

Two years after introduced Gorilla Glass 6, Corning today announced Gorilla Glass Victus, the latest iteration of its protective glass for smartphones, and the first one to move away from the numbered versions - excluding the wearable-specific Gorilla Glass SR+.
Gorilla Glass Victus is, according to Corning, the first iteration of the Gorilla Glass family that improves both drop performance and scratch resistance at the same time.

This work resulted in drop performance up to two meters when Gorilla Glass Victus is dropped onto a hard and rough surface, whereas aluminosilicate glass usually breaks when dropped from just 0.8 meters.

Scratch performance has also been doubled from Gorilla Glass 6, and is now four times better than aluminosilicate glass. You can learn more about Gorilla Glass Victus, and check out the testing procedures for the new glass here.

Never had any gorilla glass screen shatter, crack, scratch or break even a little if dropped on concrete or something hard hit it on my Mate 2 which was years ago.

Can only imagine that this particular industrial tech process only improving in tensile strength and scratch proof.

No version of Gorilla Glass yet has met the expectation they set for it. I'm not expecting much here either.

Shatter-resistant smartphone glass may finally be here
Note20 Ultra drop tests show Gorilla Glass Victus is serious business

There have been several iterations of Corning Gorilla Glass in the past years, and Gorilla Glass Victus is the latest to hit the market. Not much has changed between Gorilla Glass iterations in the past few years, so we didn't expect a whole lot new from Victus, but PhoneBuff's Galaxy Note20 Ultra drop tests have proven Victus to be surprisingly sturdy.

The Note20 Ultra is currently the only phone on the market with Gorilla Glass Victus, used on the front and back in this application, so this is some of the first real-world testing that Victus is undergoing.

While the iPhone 11 Pro Max's screen fully cracks on the first face-down impact, the Note20 Ultra's is almost completely unscathed, save for a few light scratches. PhoneBuff then continues to drop the Note20 Ultra a full ten more times, with the Victus-covered screen somehow remaining completely intact.

Gorilla Glass DX and DX+ will protect and enhance your mobile photography
July 22, 2021
https://www.slashgear.com/gorilla-g...and-enhance-your-mobile-photography-22683598/

Once your phone’s camera lens is scratched, it’s pretty much game over for your mobile photography ambitions until you get the lens replaced. This process often involves dissecting the entire phone and, depending on the model, can be quite expensive, leaving many to accept their fate and take slightly less clear images instead.

Corning is here with a different solution in the form of new glass composites called Gorilla Glass with DX and Gorilla Glass with DX+. Both glass options are designed for use with camera lenses found on smartphones, boosting their durability and scratch resistance while offering what Corning calls “advanced optical performance.”

Corning says its new Gorilla Glass composites offer the best of both worlds by improving the optical performance while also making the lenses durable. Samsung will be the first company to add Gorilla Glass DX to its mobile phone cameras, according to Corning, though we’ll likely see the same composites offered on high-end phones from other manufacturers in the relatively near future, as well.
