Will the Note 7 have Gorilla Glass 5?

[Kevin OQuinn]

The announcement of the new version of Gorilla Glass seems like too much of a coincidence to not be part of the Note 7.

That depends if Corning had told Samsung about GG5 earlier in the Note7's development cycle.

Right now, its announcement is pretty close to the Note7's announcement date. Not entirely sure that it'll feature GG5, but I'm not holding my breath.

It sure will! I know everything about the unreleased Note 7!

Please oh please! "coming months" can easily mean August!

What ever glass they used on the S7 Edge & S7 should have been called Baby Glass 4, it scratches so easy.

Then tell us everything

Shatter-proof glass would be the greatest innovation. Today's phone screens break damn easily - even when encased. They've pushed the tech envelope in so many ways over the past 10 years with our phones, but the glass is still chintzy and vulnerable. Breaking a $1000 unit is a big hit.

Unless it is unbreakable and UN. Scratch able, then I would get a screen protector anyway

I haven't been using screen protector, never had any issues. Sure I make sure I don't put phones in pockets with keys etc. But once I got used to using the phones without screen protector can never put them again. So I for one definitely take any improvements in glass quality compared to previous versions.

The problem is sand... I go to the playground a lot and sand will scratch gg3/4

Yeah sand is scratcher !!

Yeah sand is scratcher !!

For sure. I never use screen protectors and just avoid areas with sand (and yes there are lots here in Florida) .

Easier said than done when you have kids.

I'm surprised that most people don't know it ACTUALLY exists, and existed over a year now. It's Moto's Shattershield display and it has been used on multiple phones already. It didn't get that much attention because it wasn't manufactured by Corning.

But that's not glass if I understand correctly. It's more of plastic layer or something?

Edit: Don't know what different layers are made of, here is a comparison with GG4

Moto shattershield is 5 different layers of plastic type materials,
That is why the outer layer is replaceable.

Its great, but there is a def affect on how the screen looks. It looks great but you can tell a difference.

I would like to see if gg5 is as strong when used on an edge screen. Just watch a video on it and doesn't really let on what phones will have it.

Yes GG5 will debut on the Note 7.

Gorilla Glass 5 to debut on the Galaxy Note 7, the Apple iPhone 7 may follow

That would be nice if it is.
