Corning has announced the successor to the Gorilla Glass 5, the Gorilla Glass 6. Gorilla Glass 6 is Corning’s most durable cover glass to date. Corning Gorilla Glass 6 improves upon its predecessor, by surviving multiple drops from higher heights. To be precise, Gorilla Glass 6 survived 15 drops from a 1-meter height onto rough surfaces. Gorilla Glass 6 is made of a new glass composition that is chemically strengthened to give it significantly higher levels of compression as compared to Gorilla Glass 5. It also is two times stronger than Gorilla Glass 5.
Corning has not confirmed or named any manufacturers that would be using the Corning Gorilla Glass 6, however, they are in talks with various mobile phone manufacturers.
