Poor from our smartphones that fall every two by three on hard surfaces and that there are even those that are capable of surviving taking only a few minor scratches. These terminals should be made by statues due to the great mistreatment they suffer and that they have the ability to come out gracefully against those blows and falls. That they are able to make it out alive we owe, in part, to Corning Gorilla Glass.
And they are 4.500 million devices those that have been distributed all over the world with Gorilla Glass as stated by Corning itself when it announced the fifth generation of its protection glass now called Gorilla Glass 5. An announcement that puts us before an obvious improvement in resistance and capacity to be able to survive those face falls.
Corning claims that Gorilla Glass 5 has been designed to be capable of survive 80 percent of the time when falling face-on from a height of 1,6 meters onto hard surfaces. So those users who are in the 85% drop percentage at least once a year and 55% who have dropped their phones up to three times or more, will not have to look scared by see how your poor terminal has been.
Tests carried out in its test labs confirm that Gorilla Glass 5 is 1,8 times harder than Gorilla Glass 4. With regard to scratches, Gorilla Glass 5 is at the same point as the previous version, so be careful when you have one of those terminals that begin to have this version by the end of this year, since at the moment it is in production, so it won't be able to be seen on the upcoming Galaxy Note 7.
More hardness for our terminals and that keep supporting the poor those bumps and falls.
