Galaxy Note20 Equipped with Stronger Tempered Glass... Scratch Durability Doubled

Equipped with 'Gorilla Glass Victus' with Twice the Scratch and Drop Durability
Thinner Design May Only Achieve Previous Generation Performance Levels

[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] The Galaxy Note20 will feature Gorilla Glass Victus, a strengthened glass with significantly improved scratch and drop resistance.

According to IT media SamMobile on the 24th, Samsung Electronics' Galaxy Note20 will be equipped with Gorilla Glass Victus, the successor to Gorilla Glass 6. Gorilla Glass is a strengthened glass that is thinner and lighter than regular glass while being resistant to impact, and it is used in iPhones and Galaxy smartphones.

Gorilla Glass Victus is twice as resistant to scratches and has double the drop resistance compared to the previous version. While Gorilla Glass 6 could withstand drops from a height of 1.6 meters, Victus can endure drops from up to 2 meters.

Considering that Gorilla Glass has rarely improved both scratch and drop resistance simultaneously, this model is regarded as a groundbreaking improvement. SamMobile explained, "Since Gorilla Glass 3, the scratch resistance has not improved. Until now, Corning has focused on enhancing resistance to withstand accidental drops."

However, even if Samsung applies Gorilla Glass Victus to the Galaxy Note20, there is no guarantee that the enhanced durability will be fully realized. If Samsung makes the glass thinner for the Galaxy Note20, the durability might only be on par with the previous model.

SamMobile stated, "It is unclear whether Gorilla Glass Victus will be applied to the entire Galaxy Note20 series or only to the premium model (Ultra). We also need to watch whether Samsung chooses resilience or thinner thickness."
