Samsung unveiled the much-awaited Galaxy S22 series of flagship smartphones yesterday. The new lineup of handsets was accompanied by the latest generation of premium Android tablets dubbed as the Galaxy Tab S8 series. These two families of devices have two things in common – Armor Aluminum and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+.
Last August, Samsung debuted the frames made of ‘armor aluminum’ on the Galaxy Z Fold3 and the Galaxy Z Flip3. The company claims that it is the strongest aluminum used in modern smartphones.
Within a year, this material is now used on the Galaxy S22 series as well as the Galaxy Tab S8 series. For the latter, the firm says that it provides over 30% more scratch-resistant and 40% less prone to bending than the Galaxy Tab S7 series.
Apart from new frames, these phones and tablets also come with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection for their displays. All three handsets, including the vanilla Galaxy S22 sport this glass on their back as well. For those unaware, the last-gen regular Galaxy S21 features a plastic rear panel.
Anyway, as YouTuber Zack (JerryRigEverything) says ‘Glass is glass and glass breaks’. Hence, despite featuring the strongest aluminum and glass, users may want to protect their latest Samsung Galaxy devices from accidental falls by using a case.
