Corning has launched its new Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for smartphones, announced in the official blog post. The new glass comes with improved drop performance on hard surfaces like concrete from one meter and on asphalt from two meters, according to a lab test.
The company is planning to bring the Gorilla Glass Victus 2 to the market in the next few months.
“Smartphones are the center of our digital lives, and the requirement for exceptional scratch and drop resistance has only increased with our growing reliance on clear, damage-free displays,” said David Velasquez, vice president, and general manager, of Gorilla Glass. “Surfaces matter and rough surfaces like concrete are everywhere.”
Additionally, Corning’s research found that 84% of consumers across the biggest smartphone markets (China, India, and the U.S.) stated that the durability of a phone matters the most when finding a new device.
We believe that the Galaxy S23 series may use this new improved glass made by Corning. FYI, the Galaxy S22 series uses Gorilla Glass Victus+.
