One of the most important thing that defines a smartphone is its screen. It is due to the issue of screen protection that screen protectors were invented. Nearly everyone has suffered through a cracked screen at one point or another.
What is the strongest phone glass?
One of the biggest phone screen manufacturers in the world is Corning. Their screen is used by trusted phone brands such as Apple.
Corning’s Gorilla Glass is considered the strongest phone screen in the world. Their current release, which is the Gorilla Glass 6, is said to be able to survive drops from higher heights than ever before, and will withstand multiple drops. It’s even said to be twice as strong as Gorilla Glass 5, which was announced in July 2016 and used for iPhones released in that period.
According to research, more than 50% of smartphone drops are from 1 meter or less. That is the reason Corning has designed its Gorilla Glass 6 to be able to survive 15 drops from 1 meter onto rough surfaces. Corning’s gorilla glass is so trusted that it is even used at the back of phones. They have also enhanced their glass because when used, glass backs make wireless charging possible, and glass is also radio frequency (RF) transparent, so Bluetooth antennas, headphones or speakers can be used with no stress. Even 5G network needs transparent material, such as glass, to work. And so does near field charging or conductors such as Apple Play or Google Play. Their attention to such details is what makes Corning’s glasses the best.
