Corning and Samsung officially confirmed that Samsung Galaxy S III uses Corning Gorilla Glass 2.
Corning Gorilla Glass 2 was revealed at CES 2012 in Las Vegas earlier this year, it’s 20% thinner than the previous generation but still provides same impact and scratch protection.
Hankil Yoon, senior vice president of global product strategy, Samsung Electronics, said, “Following Samsung and Corning’s successful cooperation on the previous GALAXY S series smartphones, we are pleased to offer our customers the thin elegance and refined style of the GALAXY S III using Corning Gorilla Glass 2. New Corning Gorilla Glass 2 is an ideal solution for Samsung’s high-quality smartphones, enabling a superior touch experience and a lightweight and slim design, with the damage and scratch resistance consumers have come to expect.”
Haeng-Hee Lee, president and general manager of Corning Korea Company, Ltd. added, “We are excited about the introduction of Corning Gorilla Glass 2 because it provides device makers with numerous design benefits without sacrificing toughness. With Corning Gorilla Glass 2, Samsung GALAXY S III customers will enjoy an enhanced smartphone experience.”
Great news, but looking at this photo provided by Phone Arena, Corning Gorilla Glass 2 is not “indestructible” (one unlucky Galaxy S III owner found this out the hard way.) Ouch!
