Last November we learned that Corning already had Victus 2 ready, the new generation of Gorilla Glass Victus, which until now has been the most widely used glass to protect smartphone screens and other devices. There are plenty of reasons to explain its success, unfortunately for the huge number of professionals who change screens, who now depend on very unfortunate falls, since in the most common ones it is much more unlikely that the glass will break.
As you already know, Corning reinforces the screens with protective sheets that do not affect the vision of the screen or its tactile functionswhich is why it has become the favorite choice of many smartphone manufacturers for their mid-range and high-end models, since in the past we have known of some alternative solutions that were either not as resistant or, Being so, its presence was not as invisible as that provided by Corning solutions.
Mobile phones are constantly evolving, and I am not just referring to their functions and benefits, I am also talking about their dimensions, their weight, etc. The screens have been gaining ground on the front of them until they have taken over practically everything, and their size has also been growing. In this regard, you will surely remember what a few years ago was known as a phablet (phone and tablet union), large smartphones that, however, today would be average. Gorilla Glass Victus 2 aims to offer a response to this evolutionoffering a level of protection adapted to the most current smartphones.
Thus, since it was known that the development of this new generation was ready, we have been waiting to find out which manufacturer and which model would score the goal of being the first to use it. And, as we can read in an official statement from Corning, The Samsung Galaxy S23 will be the first devices to use Gorilla Glass Victus 2. Some rumors had already spread about it in recent weeks, but Samsung did not want to let it wait any longer and, instead of waiting for the presentation of its next generation, at a Galaxy Unpacked event that will take place on February 7, it has decided to go public today.
“Today’s consumers expect damage-resistant smartphone screenssaid David Velasquez, vice president and general manager of Gorilla Glass. “Dor more than a decade, Gorilla Glass has met the needs of smartphone users, setting the standard for durable cover materials.
