Last updated: November 30th, 2022 at 16:19 UTC+01:00 Corning has just revealed its latest innovation in protective glass technology, i.e., Gorilla Glass Victus 2. The company designed the new solution to offer higher drop resistance than previous generations while preserving the scratch resilience of Gorilla Glass Victus. More specifically, Corning focused on improving the drop resistance of its glass on specific rough surfaces, such as concrete. This was especially important, given that concrete is the world’s most…

One of the concrete analog blocks used in testing. CorningThe company's testing of its new Victus 2 glass showed that it could survive drops of up to 1 meter on a "surface replicating concrete." Corning claims that "competitive aluminosilicate glasses from other manufacturers typically failed when dropped from half a meter or less." Further testing showed that Gorilla Glass Victus 2 could also survive drops of 2 meters (or a little over selfie-taking height) on an asphalt-analogue surface. It can also resist…

We don’t have to tell you that smartphones have gotten larger over the years. For a company like Corning that created a problem – the longer the screen diagonal is, the more stress will be put on the glass when you inevitably fumble your phone and drop it on the floor. That means that it has to keep improving on its tough glass formulation to keep up with changes in smartphone design. A couple of years ago it introduced Victus, then came a plus version in 2021 and now it is time for the sequel, Gorilla Glass Victus 2.…

Corning's Gorilla Glass is used in a lot of high-end smartphones, and now the company is promising even tougher displays with its latest version, Victus 2. The new glass composition offers improved drop performance on rough surfaces like concrete, the company says, while offering the same scratch resistance as the original Victus. The first Victus glass released two years ago promised that your screen could survive drops of two meters (6.5 feet), but the new version ups the ante. Corning said it aimed to create glass that…

And not just any glass, but Gorilla Glass. This chemically-strengthened glass was created by Corning and has since become a staple of the smartphone market. Let's look at a bit of history first before getting to the smartphone era. Corning got its start in the mid-19th century and made…
