Corning Corporation officially released the fifth generation gorilla glass in the United States on July 21, US time. In the laboratory test data released by Corning, when the front of the screen falls down from a height of 1.6 meters to the rough surface of the simulated ground, the integrity rate of the fifth generation gorilla can reach 80%.

Corning released the fourth generation gorilla glass in 2014, which is widely used in the current mainstream flagship mobile phones. At the laboratory height of 1 meter, it can maintain a high drop integrity rate. However, a recent survey showed that more than 60% of smartphone users dropped their phones at a height between shoulder and waist, that is, the drop height was more than 1 meter, so the level of the fourth generation of Corning Gorilla could not meet the needs of some users.

The scratch resistance of the fifth generation gorilla is basically the same as that of the previous generation. Compared with the fourth generation, the anti drop ability of the fifth generation on rough surfaces has been increased by 1.8 times, and the integrity rate is 4 times that of other competing glass materials such as soda lime. However, the anti drop ability of mobile phones depends on the mobile phone manufacturer's The ability of frame design and the quality of frame structure design directly determine the anti drop ability of mobile phones. According to the release time, the mobile phone most likely to carry the fifth generation gorilla glass is the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to be released on August 2.
