Samsung is just four days away from its Unpacked Event where the company will unveil the Samsung Galaxy S23 series. There are not many confirmed details about the Samsung Galaxy S23 series on the internet but it is confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy S23 series will feature Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection. Corning has confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy S23 series used Gorilla Glass Victus 2 as usual. The Samsung Galaxy S23 series will be the first device to feature Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2.
The Gorilla Glass Victus 2 is the successor of Gorilla Glass Victus+ which was used in the Samsung Galaxy S22 series. The Victus 2 was launched by Corning on December 22. The company claims that it can survive a fall of one metre on a concrete surface and a two-metre fall on asphalt. Gorilla Glass Victus 2 also provides 4x better scratch performance compared to its competitors.
Gorilla Glass Victus 2 also prioritises the environment by receiving an Environmental Claim Validation as it is made of an average of 22% pre-consumer recycled content, which Underwriters Laboratories (UL) has even verified.
The Vice President and General Manager of Gorilla Glass, David Velasquez said, “Today’s consumers expect damage-resistant smartphone displays. For more than a decade, Gorilla Glass has met the needs of smartphone users, setting the standard for tough cover materials. We are proud to continue our long partnership with Samsung and have our latest innovations play a vital role in Samsung’s newest Galaxy smartphones.”
“We’re committed to integrating sustainability throughout our product lifecycle, working with like-minded partners such as Corning to improve performance while reducing our environmental impact. Our next generation of Galaxy flagship smartphones are the first devices to use Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2, offering better durability and improved sustainability at the same time.” claimed Stephanie Choi, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at Samsung MX.
