Corning announces Gorilla Glass Victus 2 that will protect new Smartphones
When we talk about protective glass on smartphone screens, there’s probably only one name that comes to mind: Gorilla Glass. Corning’s reinforced glass plates are unanimously the best among smartphone makers, and will soon be sixteen years old.
The American company has now revealed its new reinforced glass formula for use in smartphones, the Gorilla Glass Victus 2.
Corning claims that it has perfected its product to improve the resistance of new generations of smartphones. According to the manufacturer, our new electronic devices are on average 10% wider and 15% heavier. This makes them even more fragile in the event of a shock or fall. As the Victus 2’s protective glass is thinner than before, it doesn’t offer additional scratch protection.
On the other hand, it was specifically designed to withstand falls on uneven floors, such as concrete and asphalt. According to the video published by the company on YouTube, which we can watch below, a phone equipped with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection can fall without damage from a height of one meter, on concrete, and two meters on asphalt. Many observers will be quick to criticize the testing procedures, which are highly unrealistic.
Gorilla Glass Victus 2 Officially Announced
Whatever one may say, with over 8 billion smartphones adorned with Gorilla Glass protection, Corning has established itself as the benchmark in terms of protective glass. The first generation of Victus equips the Google Pixel 7 Pro or the Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra by Samsung, among others.
According to David Velasquez, CEO of Gorilla Glass, says that the first unbreakable smartphone has not yet been created, but the company is working on it, it’s just a matter of time. According to him, the real challenge ahead is the creation of a foldable glass for the use of smartphones like the Motorola Razr or the Galaxy Z Fold. Smartphones equipped with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 are still being evaluated by manufacturers and should hit stores in the coming months.
