Best models
Obviously, not only flagships, but also inexpensive phones receive protective glass from Corning. However, expensive models use high-quality and durable Gorilla Glass 5, while budget phones can have Glass 2 or 3. Below are the best devices that have received protection from Corning.
1st place – HTC U12 Plus
The best flagship in subjective opinion at the end of 2018 is the U12 Plus from the famous HTC brand. It runs on Android 8.0 out of the box, but will definitely receive an update to Android 9.0 and most likely 10.0, although there is no word on when that will be.
The device with a Super LCD screen has high picture quality, its diagonal is 6 inches with a resolution of 2K, which gives a pixel density of 537 per inch. Naturally, it is covered with protective glass, however, this is not new protection, but just Corning Gorilla Glass 3. This is strange, since the company's previous flagship - U11 - uses Corning Gorilla Glass 5. But oh well, even with such protection the phone does not It gets scratched if it's in your pocket with your keys.
At the back there are 2 rear cameras with resolutions of 12 and 16 megapixels, optical stabilization and f/1.75 aperture. Video shooting is available in 3840x2160 format and even shooting at 60 FPS, although there is nothing new here.
The processor is Snapdragon 845 with Adreno 630 video core, that is, the device’s performance is excellent. Also, the HTC U12+ has 6 GB of RAM, 128 GB of memory and a 3500 mAh battery. The manufacturer claims that it lasts for 23.8 hours of talk time, which is a good result. The highlight of the phone is the Edge's side touch panels, which respond to pressure. We squeezed the smartphone and a side column with a menu appeared. They can also be programmed for other actions.
An excellent and reliable device with protection from Corning. Recommended for purchase.
2nd place – OnePlus 6
The flagship is good because it is devoid of unnecessary flagship “arsenal”: there is no water protection, a 3D face scanner, touch-sensitive side panels and other bells and whistles. But there is the most powerful hardware, an excellent shell, and most importantly, optimization of performance and energy consumption.
It’s not for nothing that OnePlus 6 became the first smartphone in terms of performance, equipped with a Snapdragon 845 processor. Speed, absence of friezes and brakes, power reserve for the next 3-4 years, stable software updates and support, build quality – all these are the advantages of the device.
The screen is with a 6.28-inch diagonal Amoled matrix and 2K resolution. Unlike the HTC U12+, this device received a protective glass, scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass 5, which is sure to withstand a drop or a slight blow, not to mention scratches. Many buyers use the device without additional protective films and glass - the “native” protection is enough.
3-4 places – Samsung Galaxy S9 and S8
It is appropriate to place 2 phones at once in this position - S9 and S8. Both have reliable Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection on both sides, so the phones are not afraid of drops and scratches. Naturally, within reasonable limits.
Effective protection against water - the devices work even under water, - build quality, the best Amoled screens (recognized by the Display Mate studio) with automatic color correction for the user, proprietary Exynos processors and TOP technologies, including face recognition and iris scanning for unlocking. It’s not for nothing that these flagships have a high price.
Many users don’t like the new Galaxy S9 – it’s not an acquired taste, so we’re giving phones 3-4 places. If they were cheaper, it would be appropriate to put these phones in 1-2 positions in the rating.
5th place – Xiaomi Mi 8
New TOP phone from the Chinese brand Xiaomi, made with Gorilla Glass on the front and back. The phone received an Amoled matrix with a diagonal of 6.21 inches and a resolution of 2K. There is a “unibrow” at the top, and the display itself occupies 88.5% of the entire area.
SoC – Snapdragon 845, 6 GB RAM. Of course, the speed of the device is high. Plus, it uses cool rear cameras. You can find their review with photo examples.
The device runs Android 8.0 and will receive an update to Android 9 in the future. Build quality, speed, optimization - all this is at a high level, as befits a flagship. It is recommended for purchase, although it is difficult to find the phone in stores - it was sold out within hours after the official start of sales.

The protective element of the screen in modern smartphones is glass, which has replaced plastic resistive touchscreens. But glass, compared to transparent polymers, has one significant drawback: it is fragile. One small blow and the screen becomes covered with a web of cracks. In order to prevent such an outcome, tempered glass with increased strength is being actively developed. Their most famous manufacturer is the American company Corning, famous for its Gorilla Glass brand.
Gorilla Glass is a glass with a special composition that has been subjected to chemical and physical processing. Its purpose is to modify the structure of the material to increase resistance to scratches and impacts. Another advantage is that it reduces the risk of injury: shards of tempered glass do not have very sharp edges. When using a smartphone with cracked glass, the risk of cutting your finger is significantly reduced. The same goes for a phone screen accidentally crushed in your pocket.
The idea of using chemical treatment of glass to impart strength was born in the first half of the 20th century. Then soda-lime glass was invented, which has increased reliability. In 1959, Corning began testing various glass chemical processing methods. Then, using alkaline compounds and aluminosilicate, Chemcor glass was created, which was later used in aviation and motor vehicles. But it was not widely used.
Everything changed in 2006, when Apple began developing the first iPhone. The plastic of resistive touchscreens quickly wore out and scratched, which Jobs did not like. The Apple leader turned to Corning management and proposed reviving the technology. At that time, the company was already independently trying to resume research in this direction. Cooperation with Apple has allowed us to significantly increase investment in development. As a result, the first generation of Gorilla Glass was born.
Gorilla Glass is made using ion exchange hardening technology. Classic silicate glass is immersed in a melt of potassium salts, heated to temperatures of about 400-500 degrees. Under their influence, weak sodium ions in the glass are replaced by stronger potassium ions, which increases the strength of the product. Thanks to the strengthened molecular bonds provided by chemical hardening, Gorilla Glass' hardness on the Moss scale reaches 6 points (out of 10, the hardness of steel is about 5).
The thickness of Gorilla Glass was about 1 mm, while the impact resistance was up to 3 times greater than that of conventional tempered glass. For 2007 (when the thinnest smartphones were thicker than 10 mm) this was a normal figure. But soon the thickness of the device began to decrease, and there was a lot of extra millimeters.
Gorilla Glass 2
In January 2012, the company introduced the second generation of tempered Gorilla Glass. By that time, Corning's development had already been used in more than 200 million smartphones around the world. The new version of Gorilla Glass has become 20% thinner, while increasing its strength by up to 4 times. Engineers have improved the technique of saturating workpieces with potassium ions, ensuring their deeper penetration. This made it possible to make the layer saturated with them thicker.
Gorilla Glass 3
To make Gorilla Glass 3, released in January 2013, more durable, the developers have improved the technology. According to the manufacturer's statements and tests, it can withstand loads greater than sapphire crystal. Native Damage Resistance technology made it possible, with the same thickness, to increase strength by 3 times (compared to the second generation). Scratch resistance has increased by 40%, and impact resistance has become 50% higher.
Gorilla Glass 4
In the new generation of glass, shown in November 2014, the manufacturer managed to reduce the thickness by 2 times, bringing it to 0.4 mm. Other characteristics (strength, resistance to impacts and scratches), however, remained at the level of its predecessor. The goal of the new glass is to reduce the thickness of mobile devices without compromising their protection. According to the creators, it is 2 times stronger than coatings made using competing technologies.
Alternatives to Gorilla Glass
Competing companies are not standing still and are developing alternative coatings for screens that have increased durability. One of them is sapphire glass, created by the synthesis of this mineral. It is highly resistant to scratches (only diamond and some synthetic substances can leave a mark), but it is more fragile and also expensive.
The Japanese company Asahi, specializing in the development of new brands of glass, has also succeeded in this field. In 2011, it released Dragontrail, a more affordable alternative to Gorilla Glass. It is slightly inferior to its competitor in terms of strength properties, but is 6 times superior to ordinary glass. Due to its low price, Dragontrail is in demand among Chinese manufacturers such as Xiaomi, Lenovo, Meizu. Even Sony equips their Z series flagships with it.
In Germany, Schott is developing a competitor to Gorilla Glass. Their development, Xensation Cover, also claims to be one of the most durable types of glass. Its presentation took place in 2012. As of 2016, the most famous manufacturer using Xensation Cover is the Chinese company Meizu. Glass is used in new budget smartphones of the M3 series.

In short, what is Gorilla Glass? It is chemically tempered glass produced by Corning. It is three times stronger than glass that has been subjected to soda-lime chemical treatment. Particular strength is achieved mainly due to the replacement of sodium ions with potassium ions. In other words, Gorilla Glass is considered a glass with increased resistance to impacts and minor damage, which has found wide application in the production of mobile device displays.
If we dive a little into history, we note that Corning has long been setting itself the goal of producing especially durable glass. In particular, the first attempts and first experiments of Corning specialists go back to the middle of the 20th century, when the first timid steps were taken to treat glass with various chemical elements. At that time, within the company this project was called “Project Muscle”, however, after some time it was discontinued.
Interestingly, we owe the resumption of experiments on creating especially durable glass to Steve Jobs. The story goes that in 2006, when Apple was working on its first iPhone, the company discovered that the prototype smartphone's display was very vulnerable to scratches and minor damage when it came into contact with small metal objects, such as a set of keys in a pocket. It was then that Steve Jobs, who then served as CEO of the Cupertino company, contacted the head of Corning, Wendell Weeks (apparently, they were friends) and suggested that the latter resume the abandoned project to develop durable glass. And the very next year, 2007, the first sample of a modified Gorilla Glass called Chemcor was installed on the iPhone. Since then, Corning has been associated with its proprietary development with the epic name Gorilla Glass.
It should be noted that the first samples of Gorilla Glass, corresponding to those developed specifically for the iPhone, have become much more resistant to metal objects and parts. However, the first glass samples remained practically powerless against yet another enemy for another five long years - simple sand. So, until 2012, the first generation of Gorilla Glass remained virtually unchanged.
Gorilla Glass 2
As part of the annual international event CES 2012, the second generation of Gorilla Glass was announced. In terms of resistance to mechanical damage, practically nothing has changed, but the glass has become more advanced - its thickness has become 20% less than that of the previous generation. In addition, in laboratory testing, the glass could withstand pressure of up to 50 kg without any damage.
According to statistics for 2012, during this year alone, about 600 million mobile devices were equipped with Gorilla Glass protective glasses. It is noteworthy that the reduced glass thickness allowed manufacturers to create thinner smartphones. In addition, with reduced glass thickness, the optical performance of the displays was correspondingly improved. In particular, this concerned increasing the brightness of the screen, as well as improving the sensitivity to touch of the touch matrix. Also in 2012, a joint project between Corning and Samsung was introduced, which was called Lotus Glass. This new generation of material cannot be called a separate generation or replacement for Gorilla Glass, since the latter is a protective coating for smartphone screens, while Lotus Glass is used as a substrate for LCD displays.
Gorilla Glass 3 version
A year later, in 2013, at the international event CES-2013, Corning announced the next, third generation of the “gorilla”. As the manufacturer himself positioned it, glass received an “innate” ability to resist various damages. In other words, the third generation has become even stronger than the previous generation, namely three times. This version of glass has been very popular for several years, as it is more affordable in production. For example, the latest new products from Nokia (Nokia X6 and 7 Plus) received Gorilla Glass 3.
Gorilla Glass 4
In 2014, Corning introduced the fourth generation of Gorilla Glass 4, which became even thinner - its stated thickness was only 0.4 mm. In addition, the fourth generation of “gorilla” glass is almost twice as strong as competing aluminosilicate glasses when dropped, remaining without any damage in almost 80% of cases. After all, it’s no secret that the lion’s share of damage to smartphone screens comes from falls. It was this fact that became the main motivation for Corning specialists to create glass that is as resistant to falls as possible.
Gorilla Glass 5 (the most durable glass available today)
And finally, after two years of silence, in July 2016 Corning introduced the next generation of its glass - Gorilla Glass 5. To date, this is the most advanced generation of Corning glass. As you know, the main goal in the development of this generation is to achieve even greater resistance to impacts when dropped. If we compare the fifth generation with its predecessor, Gorilla Glass 5 has become four times more resistant to falls.
According to the manufacturer, Gorilla Glass 5 can remain intact when dropped from a height of up to 1.6 meters. Nevertheless, in order not to be dogmatic, one should take into account the angle of incidence, the surface, as well as the presence of various factors, especially since almost everything can be broken if desired. This version of tempered glass is used, for example, in the flagship smartphone Nokia 8 Sirocco.
What is Gorilla Glass? Gorilla Glass is a glass for mobile device displays that is highly durable and protects the screen from impacts. Find out in the article how you can use protection for other devices. What competitors are there in Gorilla Glass? And also about all the nuances of its use in more detail below.
History of creation
According to Corning (the company), glass from this manufacturer can withstand three times more stress than sodium-lime glass.
Such properties are achieved through processing (or ion exchange), during which the sodium ions in the material are changed to potassium.
High-strength glass has the only drawback: it can be scratched by sand or small objects - pens, pencils or pebbles.
Corning began treating glass surfaces with chemical compounds in 1959.
This project was released under the name “Project Muscle”. At that time, production was not intended for smartphones at all, since they had not yet been invented.
It was assumed that the invention would be used for cars.
Over the course of several years, the experiments bore fruit - the company developed an ultra-strong glass called “Chemcor”. The company brought its videos to various TV channels and demonstrated its strength.
After this, the company's business began to progress slowly, because the time to implement this invention had not yet come.
However, this glass was used for cars and even airplanes, but sales still had to be suspended.
Corning's finest hour came in the 21st century, because it was then that telephones began to be invented.
Displays began to be made more sensitive (this is how the sensor appeared), but the screens became very vulnerable - they were scratched and broken.
Since 2005, Corning has resumed developing glass for phones. Work was done not only to adjust the size for the device screen, but also the thickness.
A very thin yet impact-resistant material was developed. It was named Gorilla Glass.
From that moment on, many large telephone manufacturing companies began to take an interest in the invention.
Presentation of Gorilla Glass 2-3
A year after a glass manufacturing company became interested in screen protection, the major Apple company tested the first iPhone.
It turned out that keys or other sharp objects placed in the same pocket with the device can easily scratch it.
Steve Jobs learned about the glass company and approached CEO Wendell Weeks, insisting on restarting production. Weeks agreed, and aluminosilicate glass was used in the production of the iPhone.
At the very beginning of 2012, the glass production company presented an improved version of glass - Gorilla Glass 2. The result was immediately shown to the public, showing it at an exhibition in Las Vegas.
The second version was made thinner by as much as 20%, but the strength of the glass increased. The company's engineers managed to achieve this using a new technology that saturates the glass with potassium ions (the layer of impact-resistant material has increased).
By this time, impact-resistant glass had gained enormous popularity, and was used in total on 200 million devices.
The same characteristics were retained - strength and impact resistance, but the thickness changed by as much as 20%.
The technology of replacing potassium ions with potassium ions and their penetration into the material has been improved, making the ion-saturated (protecting) layer thicker.
Exactly a year later, the CES-2013 exhibition took place, at which the company presented the updated protective glass Gorilla Glass 3.
The manufacturer called the production technology “innate resistance to damage.” The company claimed that this time the material is even stronger, by as much as three times.
The company also tested Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and found that it can withstand more powerful loads than sapphire glass.
Compared to the second version, manufacturers tripled the strength. The material has become more reliable (almost twice) in terms of scratches, and is also twice as strong against impacts.
Presentation of Gorilla Glass 4-5
Almost two years have passed, and the company presented another update. On November 20, the new Gorilla Glass 4 was released.
The manufacturer said about it that among aluminosilicate ones it is twice as strong as its analogues, and if dropped in 8 out of 10 cases it is not damaged.
If previously only stability increased, then in the new version they managed to maintain it at a small thickness. It has become even thinner: its width is only 0.4 mm.
At the same time, it is argued that Corning Gorilla Glass 4 can only be broken if you drive nails into the screens. The manufacturer also stated that the current version is stronger than its competitors.
The Samsung Galaxy smartphone has evolved with Corning
A year and a half passed, and the company again released an update, adding to it. Gorilla Glass 5 is definitely superior to its predecessors, as it not only does not break, but does not even crack when dropped in 8 cases out of 10.
During testing, the devices were dropped from the average height of a person's hand above the ground (160 cm) onto a rough floor.
The phone was also thrown onto the asphalt from a meter in height. If a person is too tall or falls, for example, from a ladder, the screen may crack, but not break.
In this case, the device will continue to work as if nothing had happened.
The glass production company is engaged in new developments, and not only for smartphones - it produces glass for car windshields and coatings for TVs.
Mobile devices partnered with Corning
If earlier Gorilla Glass was used exclusively for iPhones, now almost all well-known brands produce devices with impact-resistant screens.
Brands now use different versions of protection:
- Lenovo;
- Samsung;
- Apple;
- Samsung;
- Nokia.
In the last century, many electronic equipment manufacturers collaborated with the company, which continues to this day.
Companies use glass not only for phones, but also for laptops with sensitive screens. In addition, less popular brands began to use protection, for example:
- Motorola;
- Huawei.
Now almost 50% of the globe uses protection (according to estimates for 2016). Even Chinese mobile device companies use protective glasses from cheaper analogues.
Using protection for other devices
After developing the second updated version, the company showed the world Gorilla Glass NBT, invented for a laptop with a touch screen.
The material is also used for home appliances, in construction, and for car windshields.
It was Ford that first used protection for mass production of its GT car, since Corning Gorilla Glass can withstand stress well and is not scratched by sharp objects; it is made half or even four times thinner (instead of 6 mm - 3 or 4).
Reducing the thickness of the layer is not done to improve the appearance of the car, but to reduce the overall weight of the material (it becomes lighter by a third, that is, 5 and a half kg).
Ford could not ignore this fact, and said that this is very convenient because it helps make the car dynamic, while reducing production costs and the price itself.
Screens are made multi-layered. The first layer is tempered glass covered with a sound-absorbing thermoplastic layer.
Protection for the Ford GT was tested in wind tunnels, crash tests, and also in road conditions with a lot of stones flying from under the wheels.
Competitors to Gorilla Glass
The enormous success and widespread use of Gorilla Glass provoked the emergence of many analogues.
Competing companies have appeared that produce analogs that are not inferior in quality to the original glass.
One of the analogues of ultra-strong protection is sapphire glass, which was developed thanks to the synthesis of sapphire. It perfectly protects against scratches, and a mark on it can only be left with a diamond.
Japanese inventors founded the Asahi company, which produces analogues of the original and was able to achieve success in its activities.
In 2011 (6 years after the presentation of the first Gorilla Glass), Dragontrail was invented, which, although not stronger than the original glass, could still protect against impacts.
Dragontrail can withstand 6 times the voltage of a conventional screen.
An organization for the production of safety glass was also created in Germany. Schott has developed the ultra-strong glass Xensation Cover, and it is even vying for the title of the strongest in the world.
The company presented its developments in 2012, that is, seven years later, after the first release of Gorilla Glass.
The venture is successful, and as of 2016, the most famous company using Xensation Cover is Meizu. She uses protection in the M3 series - the most budget-friendly.
Many companies in the world are trying to compete with Gorilla Glass manufacturers, but so far none have achieved the same amazing success.
Data for 2016 shows that mobile device users use Gorilla Glass on more than 4.5 billion devices.
Comparison of advantages and disadvantages of competitors: table
Corning has both worthy competitors and not so good ones. Let's figure out what can replace the original screen.
| Comparison criteria | Sapphire crystal | Dragontrail | Xensation Cover | Dinorex |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strength | More fragile than the original | Has approximately the same parameters as the original and can even compete | Same durability as Gorilla Glass, the company is a major rival | The company produced two glass models: Dinorex T2X-1 and Dinorex T2X-0. The first is regular protection, and the second is for smartphones |
| Price | Costs more than other analogues | Cheaper than analogues in production and price | More affordable than Gorilla Glass and Sapphire Glass | Reasonable price compared to competitors |
| Scratch resistance | It can only be cut with a diamond; scratches from keys or screwdrivers will not form on it | Small scratches may appear from grains of sand or small objects. | May be scratched by thin, sharp objects such as needles | Rarely gets scratched, mainly from being carried in a pocket along with small coins |
| Where is it used? | The seventh iPhone model has the main camera. The cost does not allow use for the device screen | In smartphones from many Chinese companies, as well as in budget models from well-known companies: Meizu, Lenovo and Xiaomi and Sony (the company chose glass for the Z series) | Many mobile device companies use Xensation Cover for their phones. In 2016, the Meizu brand did this, using glass for the M3 series of smartphones | Previously, glass was used for cars (the company has been producing glass since 1918), then it switched to computers, and soon to smartphones. Mainly used for budget models |
conclusions
Corning made a real breakthrough when it started producing Gorilla Glass. Several times the company proved its unsurpassability (after the production of some models, competitors took the lead in several indicators).
Now Corning Gorilla Glass is working hard to develop new versions of protective glass, not only for smartphones, but also for other digital devices.

Topic disclosure
Reliability of information
Everyone knows what ultra-strong Gorilla Glass from Corning is. And absolutely everyone is convinced that it is simply impossible to develop a more durable and reliable coating for mobile gadgets. Imagine the surprise of visitors and participants of the CES 2013 exhibition in Las Vegas when the manufacturing company presented to consumers its next innovative development - the third generation Gorilla Glass protective glass.
Unique properties of new glass
The new material retains all the previous excellent qualities for which this highly durable tempered glass is so famous. Moreover, the Gorilla Glass 3 protective glass is made using a completely unique technology, the very definition of which inspires respect - “innate resistance to damage.”
This means that the protection on portable electronic devices will now be so high that it can only be compared with hardened steel.
The review of Gorilla Glass 3, which Corning representatives were happy to conduct for everyone, showed how outstanding the already excellent qualities of the protective glass have become. If we look at their description in more detail, we can note that the material began to show even greater resistance to bending, its resistance to impacts increased by 50%, and its resistance to scratches increased by 40%.
As for the strength of the protective glass, which was almost flawless before, in the third generation Gorilla Glass it has increased 3 (!) times.
Tests
Representatives of the company present at CES 2013 invited everyone to verify the veracity of these statements. The experiments were carried out in several stages. The glass was first put to the test with a powerful mini-press that pressed the unique material with a force of 100 pounds per inch. Then heavy steel balls weighing 135 grams were rolled onto the prototype Gorilla Glass 3 glass.
And in none of the tests did the slightest change appear on the surface of the glass. A miracle, and that’s all!
Application
All this is certainly interesting and incredibly intriguing, but ordinary users are more interested in the practical side of the matter. Namely, where will this innovative development be applied?
At the moment, information about this has not yet been officially confirmed by any company. Although there are suggestions that Gorilla Glass 3 will be featured on Apple's flagship iPhone 5s, which is expected to hit the market this spring. In addition, Apple’s worst competitor, the South Korean company Samsung, will not stand aside, which may well protect its Galaxy S4 with this “piece of glass.”
In general, there is no doubt that all the leading manufacturers, from all countries of the world, will try to get the “third Gorilla” for their top smartphones and tablets as quickly as possible. So by the end of 2013, you will be able to see this ultra-durable new product on many flagships from many branded brands.
