Gorilla Glass

Gorilla Glass

Gorilla Glass is a toughened glass technology developed by Corning, widely used in smartphones, tablets, laptops, and wearables to protect displays from scratches, cracks, and other damage. Its key appeal lies in combining high durability with clarity and touch sensitivity, ensuring screens remain responsive while resisting everyday wear.

The glass is made using an ion-exchange process. In this method, the surface is immersed in a molten salt bath where smaller sodium ions are replaced with larger potassium ions. This creates a layer of compressive stress on the glass surface, making it stronger and more resistant to damage from drops or impacts.

Over the years, Corning has introduced multiple generations, such as Gorilla Glass 3, 5, 6, Victus, and Victus 2. Each version improves on scratch resistance, drop protection, and thinness, allowing manufacturers to design lighter, sleeker devices without compromising strength.

Many premium smartphones feature Gorilla Glass on both the front and back for added durability and a premium feel. It is often paired with sturdy metal frames like Armor Aluminum to create a well-protected build.

In everyday use, Gorilla Glass helps protect against keys, coins, and accidental drops, ensuring the device’s display remains clear, smooth, and functional for years.
