Corning Gorilla Glass 5 Can Survive Drops without Compromising Optical Clarity and Sensitivity
Smartphonehave heard about Corning Gorilla Glass. It’s the outer glass cover that protects your smartphones from accidental drops. Now with latest innovation Corning introduced Gorilla Glass 5 which can easily survive the scratches and cracks from drops over 5 feet. The earlier version, Corning Gorilla Glass 4 can survive upto just 3.3 feet, which comes to be almost 1 meter height. Most of the smartphones drops happen when you try to pick the phone from your waist. So inorder to survive such drops the durability of covering glass is to be improved. This is what Corning has done to Gorilla Glass 5.
Survive Drops Upto 5.3 Feet
By launching Gorilla Glass 5, Corning has addressed the most raised issue of the customers. Continuous lab experiments revealed that new Gorilla Glass 5 can survive drops upto 5.3 feet on rough surfaces. This is almost alarming when compared to the counterparts in the market. The covering glass should be durable since the users use display to interact with smartphones. The officials of the Corning promised with substantial lab reports that their new Gorilla Glass 5 survived in 80% real time cases when dropped from a height of 1.6 meters onto rough surfaces that too face down.
Dimensions
The earlier versions of Gorilla Glass had a thickness of 0.6mm. Now it is reduced to 0.4mm. Still it could survive the drops than other similar glass covers do. Reducing the chance of damage of glass to 1 out 5 is far reach of the hands of competitors in the market.
Display and Resolution
Even though Corning improved the durability of Corning Gorilla 5, they haven’t made any compromises to display clarity. You can still enjoy the old display clarity as well as improved resolution also in the case of Corning Gorilla Glass 5. They also promise that with Gorilla Glass 5 you can enjoy better display even in bright sunlight than the previous version.
Limitations
The officials of Corning while making promises also conveyed that the durability of Gorilla Glass 5 also depends on overall design of smartphone. For instance if the corner of display is bulged out there is a high chance of getting it cracked during corner drops.
Availability
From the sources it came to know that Corning Gorilla Glass 5 have started its production. The officials also promised that it will available in devices within 2-3 months.
