Corning has unveiled its latest innovation, Gorilla Glass Ceramic, a new protective solution designed to enhance durability and reduce the likelihood of cracked screens from drops. This advanced glass technology is engineered to withstand up to 10 drops from a height of one meter onto surfaces mimicking the harshness of asphalt.
Renowned for its protective glass solutions, Corning has consistently provided robust options for smartphones and tablets. The introduction of Gorilla Glass Ceramic marks a significant advancement, utilizing ceramic materials to bolster toughness. Notably, Corning’s Gorilla Armor 2 also incorporates similar ceramic technology to achieve enhanced protection.
In terms of durability, Corning’s lab tests indicate that Gorilla Glass Ceramic’s ability to endure 10 consecutive one-meter drops suggests impressive resilience when compared to its predecessor, Gorilla Glass Victus 2. While the company previously indicated that Victus 2 could survive an unspecified number of drops onto surfaces emulating an 80-grit texture, Gorilla Glass Ceramic appears to surpass these claims significantly.
As it stands, the comparison between Gorilla Glass Ceramic and Victus 2 raises questions, and updates from Corning may provide further clarity on their respective strengths.
The Rise of Ceramic-Glass Solutions
The trend of integrating ceramic into glass protection isn’t entirely new. Corning has successfully created protective glass for Apple devices through its Ceramic Shield technology, and other manufacturers have followed suit with their proprietary solutions. For instance, HONOR’s Magic 7 Pro features the NanoCrystal Shield, showcasing a growing interest in ceramic-infused durability across the market.
Corning has confirmed that Gorilla Glass Ceramic will debut on an upcoming Motorola device in the near future, indicating consumers won’t have to wait long to experience this advanced protection. However, the hope is that this technology will be adopted by a wider range of Android manufacturers. While Gorilla Armor has been well-received, its limited availability to specific flagship devices has restricted its impact. An expanded rollout of Gorilla Glass Ceramic would significantly enhance the durability of smartphones across various brands.
