Corning Announces Gorilla Glass 6, Claims 2x Durability Than Glass 5

Corning has announced its latest Gorilla Glass 6 almost after two years of introducing the Gorilla Glass 5. The Gorilla Glass has become an integral part of the modern day phone screens and is one of the reasons that phone owners can save up on a lot of screen replacements. The Gorilla Glass 6 comes with apparent improvements and like one would expect it’s the most durable glass by Corning till date. The primary focus this time has been on the drop and impact resistance, instead of scratch resistance of the glass.

“As consumers become more dependent on their smartphones, the opportunity for potentially damaging drops is also on the rise. Now more than ever, it’s critical that the cover glass provides outstanding protection. Corning Gorilla Glass 6 improves upon Gorilla Glass 5 by surviving drops from higher heights, but, more importantly, has been engineered to survive multiple drops,” said John Bayne, vice president and general manager at Corning, said about the latest Gorilla Glass 6.

Like we mentioned above, the primary focus of Corning this time has been on the drop and impact resistance of the glass. As such, Corning has revealed that according to a Toluna study, on an average people drop their phone seven times a year with most of the drops happening below the level of 1m. In their latest product, the scientists have chemically strengthened the glass to allow for more compression to tackle this problem of multiple drops.
