Corning Launches 'Gorilla Glass Ceramic', Strengthening Mobile Durability
Published2025.03.27 15:49
Corning has introduced Corning® Gorilla® Glass Ceramic, a new, innovative glass ceramic cover material that promises to significantly improve the durability of mobile devices.
This product is expected to become a key material for mobile devices where durability is important, as it offers improved drop resistance on rough surfaces compared to competing aluminosilicate glasses.
In Corning's internal testing, Gorilla Glass Ceramic survived 10 consecutive drops from 1 meter onto a rough asphalt-simulating surface without damage.
This contrasts with conventional aluminosilicate glass, which breaks on the first drop.
These results demonstrate the high durability of Gorilla Glass Ceramic and Corning's innovative approach to product design.
“Gorilla Glass has become a symbol of strength and resilience,” said David Velasquez, vice president of Corning Gorilla Glass. “This new material continues that legacy by revolutionizing the quality and durability of display covers and enclosures.”
Gorilla Glass Ceramic is the latest addition to Corning's Gorilla Glass family, and will be available on Motorola devices in the coming months. It is scheduled to be released.
It is expected to provide greater satisfaction to consumers and competitiveness to clients.
Corning has been a global innovator in glass and glass-ceramic materials for over 170 years. Having invented the world's first colorless, transparent glass-ceramic material for consumer electronics, Corning is dedicated to developing new materials that enhance the durability of mobile devices and meet evolving consumer demands.

ProtectM Launches 5 Types of Bulletproof Tempered Glass Films for Galaxy Note 7
The cover glass on Samsung Electronics' Galaxy Note 7 and Apple's iPhone 7 is Corning Glass 5, which is twice as strong as previous products. When dropped from a height of less than 1m, it rarely breaks, and when dropped from shoulder height of 1m60cm, it is estimated that there is up to an 80% probability of not breaking. However, Corning Glass 5 is not 100% perfect against scratches and damage.

Corning Launches Premium Glass Print Frames
Corning announced today that it is launching MASTERPIX, a premium glass print frame featuring Corning Gorilla Glass, in the Korean market. Unlike conventional glass frames or existing acrylic frames, MASTERPIX directly prints photo images onto the glass surface using high-definition ink. Gorilla Glass, Corning's flagship product used as cover glass in approximately 5 billion electronic devices worldwide including mobile phones and tablet PCs, is utilized as the glass material for MASTERPIX. Gorilla Glass exhibits superior durability and resistance to damage, making it suitable for use in frames as well. Additionally, it is thin and lightweight while offering exceptional durability and optical clarity, which enables vibrant colors and long-lasting quality.
