I think you have heard the name "gorilla glass" once. This is Corning's glass product group for smartphone screens and glass protection products. This time, Gorilla Glass Victus released a new product second only to Gorilla Glass6.
"Victus" means (to survive). "before the introduction of Gorilla Glass6 in 2018, we focused on not being easy to crack or resist scratches (surface scratches), but we have successfully improved the level of composition and chemical synthesis," Corning's Watanabe said. "
Tolerance to falling glass on mobile phones is a trade-off between tolerance to abrasions and tradeoffs. In short, the less likely it is to break, the weaker the abrasion resistance of the surface. Because fragmentation is critical, there is nothing you can do about it, but it will be very uneasy if you don't stick a protective film or glass protector.
The Gorilla Glass Victus enhances both, but how rugged is it compared to previous smartphones? Videos have also been released to prove this (in most tests, Victus is more powerful).
Falling tower test (test that falls on the ground)
Bare scratch test (test of wear and tear on the surface with diamonds)
Text length test (test that applies a constant force until it breaks)
Standard Chartered Test (Wall-posted Test)
In terms of screen cracking, you can see from the video that it is also effective for 2.5D monitors with strength problems.
The above video is compared with ordinary glass products, Corning explained that compared with the company's Gorilla Glass6, the falling resistance is about 2m (Gorilla Glass6 is about 1.6m), and the resistance to abrasion is about twice as high.

Personally, there is no need for protective film or glass protectors anymore. Although I don't feel this kind of degree, I think it's great to enter the stage of improving the patience of both cracks and bruises.
Starting with Samsung, the Gorilla Glass Victus is expected to be installed on launched devices in turn after 2021.
