It is an increasingly important task by OEMs to make sure that their smartphone displays, especially the flagship offerings, are sufficiently protected. Corning has offered some pretty strong protection in this regard, with the Gorilla Glass Victus that was unveiled in 2020. The Gorilla Glass Victus has adorned the display of several flagship devices since its release.

Enter the Gorilla Glass Victus+ which is a strengthened successor to the Victus which will reportedly be featured in the Galaxy S22 lineup. All the three models in the S22 series will reportedly have the Gorilla Glass Victus+.

Tipster Ice Universe has said that the Samsung Galaxy S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra will have the Gorilla Glass Victus+ either at the front or back. It is also possible to have the strengthened glass adorn both the front and back of the devices. The Galaxy S21 and S21+ both had a plastic back although the Galaxy S21+ had the Victus on both sides.

The Galaxy S22 Ultra will certainly have more nuanced features than the other two models and tips Ice Universe says it will come with what was termed super clear glass in the leaked specs sheet. The reinforced glass will help to reduce reflection and glare in the device.

There are speculated color variants for the S22 and S22+ including pink gold, green, black and white, while the Ultra could be available in Burgundy, green, black, and white colors. As the unveiling of the Galaxy S22 series inches closer, it will continue to be a subject of much speculation and leaks.

Corning has over the years built a towering reputation in the business of manufacturing tough glasses for smartphones, laptops, tablets, and wearables. In a bid to offer improved solutions and cement its place as a market leader, the company has officially announced its latest glass technology which represents a breakthrough in the technology. The Gorilla Glass Victus as it is called brings to the table a significantly better drop and scratch performance compared to competitive aluminosilicate glasses from other manufacturers.

Durability is one of the key considerations buyers put in perspective before bringing out their wallets. A survey carried out in three of the largest smartphone markets in the world – China, India, and the United States – shows that it is second only to the device brand.

Buyers place it ahead of important features such as screen size, camera quality, and device thinness. Most consumers were willing to pay a premium for improved durability. Also, feedback from more than 90,000 consumers analyzed by Corning shows that the importance of drop and scratch performance has nearly doubled in seven years.

The new Corning Gorilla Glass Victus performed superbly in lab tests. Corning says it achieved drop performance up to 2 meters when dropped onto hard, rough surfaces. This is far ahead of the competitive aluminosilicate glasses from other manufacturers which typically fail when dropped from less than 0.8 meters. In addition, the Gorilla Glass Victus has up to 2x improvement in scratch resistance compared to the Gorilla Glass 6. While it is up to 4x better than competitive aluminosilicate glasses.

Corning disclosed in the press release that the Gorilla Glass Victus will be adopted first by Samsung in the near future. Thus, speculations are rife that the new glass technology may feature on the Galaxy Note 20. If the Galaxy Note 20 misses on it, then we should be looking at next year’s Galaxy S30 series.
