Corning Gorilla Glass 4 gets
announced; it is twice as tough as its popular predecessor. This new generation
of display panel improves its durability while slimming its thickness at the
same time.
At 0.4-millimeter depth, it is
thinner and lighter in comparison to the present Gorilla Glass 3 panel but
remarkably more durable. It is also believed to be twice as strong compared to
its closest competitor. The product underwent a series of drop tests along with
other products. Gorilla Glass 4 is able to withstand 80% of drops in a rough
surface at 1-meter height while soda-lime glass phones shatters on every test.
This new panel focuses on up-scaled
protection from outside forces addressing most concerns of smartphone and
tablet users. Gorilla Glass has been a
top brand of choice for most manufacturers due to its consistency in terms of
quality and performance. Currently, samples have been shipped to most OEMs and
we could expect to see Glass 4 panels in as early as Q1 next year.
