Foldable phones and 5G are quickly becoming a big focus for the smartphone industry. Here’s how Corning envisions Gorilla Glass playing a part in them, and how it continues to make its glass more durable year after year.
The OPPO F9 series will likely be the first to offer Corning's Gorilla Glass 6.
While phone companies are peacocking around with their beautiful new phone designs, Corning is sitting behind the curtain, designing the glass that keeps our phones alive.
Corning makes the touchscreen glass for most smartphones around the world. Will cracked screens be a thing of the past?
Despite 'reliability' claims, the LG G6's glass will indeed scratch like any other. Gorilla Glass 5 is great, but it isn't indestructible.
After launching Gorilla Glass 5 for smartphones earlier this year, Corning is now turning its attention to the wearable segment with Gorilla Glass SR+. The glass substrate is as durable as Gorilla Glass 5 and as scratch resistant as sapphire.
Just a few weeks after announcing the technology, Corning's latest Gorilla Glass 5 is making its debut on the brand new Galaxy Note 7.
Headquartered in Corning, New York and founded in 1851, Corning Incorporated is one of the world’s leading innovators in materials science. But the product that has brought them instant recognition in technology space has been Gorilla Glass, the damage resistant cover glass used in thousands of mobile devices.
It looks like displays on future Android phones are about to get a whole lot more resistant to scratches. Corning announced today that it is working on a new type of glass for screens that is almost as scratch-resistant as sapphire displays (such as that on the Kyocera Brigadier, pictured above), while retaining the durability of its Gorilla Glass. The announcement came during an...
Ready for unique designs without sacrificing strength or adding thickness Corning has announced their latest innovation, which they're calling 3D-shaped Gorilla Glass. It's not for 3D video on our smart devices (thank goodness) but it describes the manufacturing process that will make Gorilla Glass into unique shapes without adding thickness or losing any of the scratch-resistant...
Corning buys out Samsung's stake in LCD joint venture; ten-year supply deal inked Samsung has acquired a 7.4 percent share in smartphone Gorilla Glass maker Corning, as part of a "strengthening" in the partnership between the two companies. The deal will also see Corning taking full control of Samsung Corning Precision Materials, an LCD panel joint venture in which Samsung currently...
When it comes to chemically-hardened glass, we smartphone types are definitely fans. When it comes to making our glass-fronted smartphones more durable, Corning has always been at the forefront, and their latest revelation in the form of Gorilla Glass 3 will prove to be even more of a protective force between our LCDs and the harsh world we live in. We dropped in on Corning to check out...
Corning has just announced that they have released the latest version of their hardened glass, and Gorilla Glass 3 will be shown off at CES. They haven't told us a lot about the product in their press announcement, but we expect to see scratch-resistance glass that's thinner and more optically clear than the first two iterations of the popular Gorilla Glass line. Corning labels...
Corning today introduced its newest display technology, a thin and flexible surface its calling "Willow Glass." The glass maker says that its latest design will support thinner backplates and color filters for OLED and LED technologies, but most importantly it will be flexible, enabling curved displays for smartphones, tablets, and notebooks. Corning, the makers of the popular and...
Motorola has announced that the DEFY MINI will be available in Greece in mid-April. This follows their announcement that it will also launch in Italy this month, and has already been released in Brazil. Spec-wise, this is a decidedly mid-range phone, but for someone that needs something durable it's a smart way to go. As a reminder, it's packing a 600MHz processor, 512MB RAM, a 3MP...
Pop quiz: What's new, thinner and still made of Gorillas? Gorilla Glass 2, of course. A few days ago we saw the announcment that Corning was bringing the well-named scratch-resistant glass back to CES thinner than ever -- while also keeping it just as structurally strong. Sure, 20 percent thinner may not seem like a lot, but keeping the glass thinner is something that many...
Corning, the folks behind Gorilla Glass, has just announced that they will be unveiling Gorilla Glass 2 next week at CES. They haven't let out a lot of product details just yet, but we're pretty sure all the scratch-resistant toughness will still be there, and likely made even better with the new generation. We'll know for sure next week, as we'll be having a close look at their booth...
Here we go again. Somewhere along the way, someone got it in their head that Samsung Galaxy Nexus has Gorilla Glass. Only it doesn't. And so far as we can tell, there's never been an official spec listing that said it did. And today, Corning, the maker of Gorilla Glass, tweeted that, in fact, the Galaxy Nexus doesn't have Gorilla Glass. Repeat: The Galaxy Nexus doesn't have Gorilla...
It's a question we get all the time, so let's answer it. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 has Gorilla Glass. And given the history Samsung has with using Corning, the latest press release confirming that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is making use of Gorilla Glass shouldn't really come as much of a surprise but it's certainly comforting. Hankil Yoon, vice president of Smartphone Product...
Update: We've spoken with Motorola PR, who tells us the Photon does not have an unlocked bootloader, and the rep who initially told us otherwise was in error. Please read the full story here.One of the more exciting (if extremely nerdy) specs to come out of today's Sprint Motorola Photon 4G event (see our hands-on) is that the upcoming Android smartphone indeed will ship with an...
