it's Android Authority and we're here with Corning and they're obviously the makers of the famous Gorilla Glass they're going to be showing us a great demo of Gorilla Glass 3 and I'm here with Marcus Haines he's an application engineer for Corning and he's going to take us through it so just let us know what you up to man all right so we're introducing real Glass 3 which this new introduced to CES and we're just coming here at Mobile World Congress to talk about a little bit more and actually so demonstrations so right right what we have here is that competitors a limited silicate glass it is 0.7 millimeters thick has a scratch of 7 Newtons so it has like a common scratch if you see in any smartphone okay so I'll open this testing this tester is an inclined tester that is set at 10 degrees will be hundred and thirty five grams steel ball you're loading on the tester we'll see what happens ooh say see they're a competitor glass is broken no good that's the competitor glass with the 17 scratch which competitor my Dappy Marcus I can't say I don't really know okay so this is really three okay the same 17 scratch all right i same thickness and everything nice note in the tester even pool I like it you see gorilla three ops still is intact no problem to be able to get pretty good so far we all try to push the cells even further and so I'm wrapping it up to 30 degrees I like it Wow we're getting extreme here try to it's only good I don't need to sign a waiver or anything no not right now all right so what we do this to show how much impact energy this is three times greater a piece of aluminum here okay this is a zero plus emulator millimeter piece of aluminum lovely tester we'll jump that same steel ball let's see a nice satyr who did that right right don't stick your finger in there right okay I want you so now we would do the same thing with really three with the same 17 scratch as we have before mm-hmm same thickness you see two impacts there on the bus still in that break so I'd even take that a little bit further we're actually going to put this in this mini press here what take this nice and glass a little bit over for you guys and we'll wrap it up to a hundred pounds of force so fly that load all the way to 100 pounds even Wow higher than that you see an imprint yet the tester but the glass is still not broken that's a strong glass yeah oh yeah like really really strong so is this pretty much the strongest display glass you guys have ever graded maybe the strongest on the market well for us it's our best guerrilla glass to date I can't comment on what's on the market but for us the gorilla glass is still the industry standard missile industry leader okay maybe a CNN of our drop test videos there Marcus I have not but I know people do like love to do their job to the last review a drop test yes we recently dropped the s3 versus the iPhone 5 the iPhone 5 it was impossible to break we had to flip it upside down put rocks under it and driver with the car two times then we crack the last with the s3 it cracked after the second drop oh wow for a half feet high but but what we're wondering is really what is the secret behind Gorilla Glass like I know you guys use a lot of really very advanced engineering and you're going to keep pushing the envelope what are we going to be able to arrive at a position in the future where phones virtually are unbreakable its subset yeah glass still the crystalline structure for so glass no matter from what I've been told no matter what happens with it it still has a point where it can break we're always trying to push the limit on what we can do with our glass it's still a thin glass still display glass so it's you know it's up to a point that we're trying to get you but continuously we have thousands of engineers scientists a Corning working on that very problem to trying to improve the glass year-over-year that's awesome can you talk about a couple of partners or maybe some phone makers that are going to be incorporating velocity in the future well as you know we run over 30 major brands I can't talk to her significant oh you know this really means a little bit gifts of love to Android thority I really can't be a civics right now I just let up over 30 major brands yeah 975 different models over a billion devices sold in the market so that's a lot of devices along we're really pushing hard on notebooks as well because Windows 8 and everything else is out there we're really pushing hard on that too to make sure our brand just is there as well very very cool well I really want to say thank you very much for your time you know again this is cool demonstration my pleasure you know thank you alrights Android over here we're live more World Congress thanks to Corning Gorilla Glass 4 agree with us that Austin demonstration thank you thank you too sir
