2016-07-20
hey guys we're here in Palo Alto we're Corning just announced its latest version of Gorilla Glass Gorilla Glass 5 now the big thing about this version of the glass is that it's supposed to withstand drops of about 1.6 meters which is about five feet two inches probably about this height and today we got to see some of the testing and torture some of the glass at Corning the glasses go through a bunch of different tests this is one of them this is a steel ball that's about to hit a regular glass head on top of the ball in release go very well for the regular piece of glass shattered no doubt about that and now we'll try it out with Gorilla Glass this is Gorilla Glass 3 and now release the ball and unscathed fight as much pressure as I can to break it not even a dent and the big test for Gorilla Glass 5 the drop test from about shoulder level for most people that's nearly twice as shatterproof as the previous version of Gorilla Glass according to Corning Corning didn't tell us exactly what devices we can expect to see Gorilla Glass 5 in but definitely in some of the new ones coming out this fall
