To realize the reason why Corning made Gorilla Glass Victus 2, the new cover glass the organization revealed today, you can thank (or fault) your enormous, fat telephone.
While Corning set off to make rugged glass a long time back and started testing on cell phones, the benchmark was 160g, which more than covered the first iPhone, which weighed 135g. Contrast this with the iPhone 14 Expert, which times in at a heavy 206g, iPhone 14 Genius Max, which gauges a thick 240 grams, or the Samsung Universe S22 Ultra, which tips the scales at a muscular 228 grams.
Corning VP and Head supervisor for Gorilla Glass David R. Velasquez let me know this week that cutting edge cell phones are presently loaded with undeniably more innovation (better cameras, more sensors, greater batteries) and are heavier and denser than the telephones Corning was initially trying on.
Presently the benchmark is 200g. That is as yet short of a portion of the heaviness of the most recent telephones, yet weight isn't the main piece of Corning's trying procedure that is changed and, all the more significantly, this Gorilla Glass isn't something similar, by the same token.
Victus 2 is another Gorilla Glass definition. At the point when we requested particulars, Velasquez affirmed that it's not quite the same as the first Victus, which was presented a long time back, yet added "It's better, that is however much detail that I can give."
The outcome is a more slender glass that can bear upping similarly well to scratches however offers better breakage execution.
Corning, however, has changed its trying philosophy. Following quite a while of dropping a large number of telephones from 1M and 2M levels on reproduced black-top surfaces (sandpaper addressing the coarseness of the surface with metal under it), Corning has included mimicked concrete. Surmise they at long last understood that we drop however many telephones on the walkway as we do in the city.

With "concrete," Corning is trying Gorilla Glass Victus 2 at 1M yet utilizing "black-top" for 2M tests. The thing that matters isn't such a lot of hardness as it is the roughness of the surfaces. To illustrate, Corning sent me a sheet inserted with two sandpaper squares with coarseness intended to reproduce the two surfaces. The "concrete" one is discernibly harsher to the touch.
Not simply bigger telephones are making Corning's position harder. Velasquez advised me that sometime in the past safeguarding glass screens was nearly simpler.
The iPhone 4 was whenever glass first was raised, an immense change and significantly more prone to break," he said.
Nowadays telephones like Samsung World S22 Ultra, Google Pixel 7 Ace, and the iPhone 14 Master appear to be made essentially of glass. I think Corning knows how to make a telephone that may in all likelihood never break, yet the cooperation between the glass-covering organization and the telephone producer doesn't exactly work that way.
" Might you at any point do this in glass, assuming this is the case, what are the plan contemplations?'" made sense of Velasquez.
What follows are discussions and, surprisingly, a few changes of particles and how they're intended to reinforce the glass.
Velasquez rushed to add that telephone makers don't get custom glass items. Nonetheless, understanding the course telephone makers are going can affect the sorts of glass (perhaps Victus 2) Corning produces now and later on.
While Gorilla Glass Victus 2 is more grounded than Victus 1, Corning has zero influence over how telephone producers use it.
" Telephones can never be sufficiently slight, or they make a more forceful plan," said Velasquez.
Might you at any point overlap it?
Discussing forceful plans, I needed to get some information about bendable glass. Corning doesn't have a bendable item now, however the future will be an alternate story.
Velasquez affirmed that Corning is in "profound conversation with all large clients on where they're going. Some are further along than others."
The organization hopes to have sent off in the following two or three years yet could share little else about its arrangements. All things considered, Velasquez says Corning is exceptionally amped up for bendable glass.
"What's truly perfect about joining forces with clients on empowering bendable plans, is it's outrageously difficult to have glass bowing and contacting itself. It's perhaps of the hardest conceivable issue you can envision. Corning will in general succeed where the issue is truly troublesome. Our researcher love to dive into that."
For the time being, however, Corning and its accomplices are scouring their teeth against practically solid and similarly as-difficult to-scratch Gorilla Glass Victus 2. OEMs have the glass tests, and there are as of now some "plan ins occurring." Valesquez anticipates "declarations from a portion of our accomplices in the following three months"
Meanwhile, we anticipate genuinely tough cell phone glass. Corning is chipping away at it, yet Velasquez told me "Not there yet however going to be keeping on battling that battle."
Assuming you're searching for certain telephones that include the momentum adaptation of Corning's Gorilla Glass Victus, there could be no more excellent spot to begin than our Best Telephones of 2022.
