Launched in 2016, Corning® Gorilla® Glass 5 raised the bar for protection against damage from drops. In our lab tests, Gorilla Glass 5 survives up to 1.2-meter, waist-high drops onto hard, rough surfaces. Competitive aluminosilicate, from other manufacturers, typically fails when dropped from less than 0.8 meters. Even better, Gorilla Glass 5 also delivers up to 2x improvement in scratch performance compared to competitive aluminosilicate glass. It all adds up to a perfect combination of protection and performance for today’s mobile devices.
