In our lab tests, Gorilla Glass 5 survives up to 1.2-meter, waist-high drops onto hard, rough surfaces. Competitive aluminosilicate, from other manufacturers, typically fails when dropped from less than 0.8 meters. Even better, Gorilla Glass 5 also delivers up to 2x improvement in scratch performance compared to competitive aluminosilicate glass. Sapphire glass uses corundum, which rates a 9 on the hardness scale. According to the video, Apple Watch Sport was unscathed by a 7-rated pick, but was scratched by an 8. The higher-end Apple After this process the top surface is compressed and the glass under surface remains under tension, which makes the glass much more difficult to break. Gorilla glass and plain-old-soda lime glass have pretty much the same break resistance after the chemically strengthening process. However, AAS glass is more porous, so when it is chemically By Tayyaba Rehman — Published on November 10, 2023. Gorilla Glass 3 introduced Native Damage Resistance for scratch resistance. Gorilla Glass 5 emphasizes drop protection, surviving drops from greater heights. The glass, while resistant, is breakable .) Gorilla Glass is used in all manner of electronics, including tablets and laptops, but a product like this makes especially good sense in smartphones Better than Gorilla Glass. The combination of these two things makes for tougher glass, which is both more resistant to bumps and scratches, and also more likely to stay in one piece (rather than ICYMI DC Rainmaker has a nice breakdown of the efficiency of the 6 solar. The 6x Solar has "Corning Gorilla Glass 3 with DX Coating", which is pretty solid durability wise, but it will not be anywhere nearly as strong as the Sapphire glass. The solar charging does work (and works quite well! Sony Camera Sensor with a bit more megapixels, could be capable of better pictures. A bit smaller, and I like a plastic back more then glass. Gorilla Glass 3 vs victus, there isn't a soooo big difference for me, maybe the victus has a 5-10% better durability, but I heard it gets scratches faster then the normal gorilla glass, but could be rumors.
