Corning has revealed the sequel to its well-known Gorilla Glass. Version 4 survives 80% of drops from 1m (3.3ft) on a rough surface meant to emulate the jaggedy surfaces encountered in daily use, which makes it better at falling. Corning's latest Gorilla Glass 4 claims to be twice as tough as rival products.
The product information sheet (PDF) compares the new product to the current Gorilla Glass 3 and the charts show that 0.4mm thick Gorilla Glass 4 is slightly tougher than a 0.7mm thick panel of the earlier generation. This implies that makers can now improve the durability of their phones without using thicker and heavier glass.
The first Gorilla Glass devices should be seen early next year as samples have already been sent out. Statistics reveals that since 2007 Gorilla Glass has been put on 1,395 different products totaling 3 billion devices.
