Corning has recently announced its next generation Glass i.e. Corning Gorilla Glass 5. Gorilla Glass5 is more harder, better & stronger now you phone’s display can survive a 1.6-meter drop (about 5 feet, 4 inches) on its face around 80 percent of the time. Now here we will describe all differences between Gorilla Glass 4 and Gorilla Glass 5, we can also say improvements in Gorilla Glass 5.
According to the reports of over 85% of smartphone owners have dropped their phones at least once per year and 55% of have dropped their phones three times or more. So there is very high demand of the screen protector glass in the market. We here try to tell you the basic differences on some key points between Gorilla Glass 4 and Glass 5. However, Gorilla Glass 5 is almost 50% harder and durable than its previous Generation of Glass i.e. Gorilla Glass 4. Corning has taken cover glass technology to new levels with each generation of the glass. Gorilla Glass 5 can survive a fall onto rough surfaces from 1.6 m (5.2 ft) where as Gorilla Glass 4 can survive a fall onto rough surfaces from maximum of 1 m (3.3 ft). Both these glass get the 80% success rate at these heights.
Corning has done many tests on its New Gorilla Glass 5, one of them is they put the glass into a “hot bath of molten salt” that heats up to 752 degrees Fahrenheit. The process causes sodium ions to leave the glass, and potassium ions from the salt bath replace them. Because potassium ions are larger, they produce a “layer of compressive stress” deep inside the glass that resists damage.
The main reason behind the use of protective glass is that according to various reports about 85% of people drop their phone once or twice a year. After they drop their phones almost 80% people survived these drops because all the major companies are using Corning Gorilla Glass. Gorilla Glass is best among all its competitors and it is more durable than others.
Stay Tuned to this article when there will be some more official information about Gorilla Glass 5 we will update this article than.
