What is Gorilla Glass?
Gorilla Glass is currently the toughest material phones can be made out of. It is thin, yet super strong, so it doesn’t ruin the sleek aesthetics of most modern smartphones.
It can come in a few different types, but they are all similar in their strength and durability:
- Gorilla Glass Victus
- Gorilla Glass 6
- Gorilla Glass 5
- Gorilla Glass 3+
- Gorilla Glass 3
- Gorilla Glass with DX/DX+
- Vibrant Corning Gorilla Glass
- Antimicrobial Gorilla Glass
