#corning gorilla glass 6 now official

Corning has officially announced their newest glass protection, aptly named Gorilla Glass 6. According to Corning, Gorilla Glass 6 is twice as tough as the previous GG5, thanks to its added resistance and durability to drops. The manufacturer is claiming that the new Gorilla Glass 6 has survived 15 consecutive drops from a 1-meter hight on rough surfaces and has better survivability at higher heights. Corning provided a promotional video (link here) where they demoed the drop tests they did with GG6. Corning extends its glass technology to the PC market with the announcement of the Gorilla Glass NBT - the company's latest cover glass designed to help protect touch-enabled notebook displays from scratches and other forms of damage that come from everyday handling and use. In fact, for just 1 to 2 percent of a notebook’s retail price, consumers can now get the best cover glass solution: a Gorilla solution. "We’re integrating Corning Gorilla Glass NBT into our new client devices launching this fall, further enhancing our industry leading product reliability and durability." said Sam Burd, vice president, PC Product Group, Dell. Corning Gorilla Glass NBT is currently available and is expected to be featured on several notebook product models by leading global brands later this year.
