Gorilla Glass 2 is just as strong, tough and impressive as the original Gorilla Glass. Only difference? Gorilla Glass 2 is waaaaaaaay thinner at only .8mm compared to the original Gorilla Glass at 1mm.
Short answer: yes. Corning announced today that it will be debuting the next iteration of Gorilla Glass at CES next week… though as cryptically as possible. It is reputedly designed with device manufacturers’ move towards thinner, lighter displays in mind. Take that, sharp corners.
In what is sure to be great news for smartphone owners of all persuasions, Corning is all set to show off the second generation of its amazing Gorilla Glass.
Gorilla Glass has been a major selling point for toughened smartphones of late, but the fast-paced world of glass design doesn’t sit still for long. Gorilla Glass is yesterday; tomorrow’s glass is Corning’s new Lotus Glass.
Bolshy Corning told me that they can envision a future where all our windows are made from Gorilla Glass – the tough as nails glass used in devices such as the Dell Streak, LG Optimus 7 and upcoming Sony Bravia TVs.
