Corning's newest Gorilla Glass for phones is
Gorilla Glass Victus, which the company claims provides improved drop
and scratch resistance compared to Gorilla Glass 6 and the competition.
Samsung will be the first company to use Gorilla Glass Victus "in the near future". Most advanced glass materials optimize for
either drop protection or scratch resistance. For example, the first versions of Gorilla Glass focused on scratch resistance, while more recent iterations have focused on drop protection. Gorilla Glass Victus improves both, providing "up to a 2x improvement in scratch resistance" compared to Gorilla Glass 6, while also providing "drop performance up to 2 meters when dropped onto hard, rough surfaces", compared to 1.6 meters for Gorilla Glass 6.
