Before this, the company used to choose between improving drop or scratch resistance, but this time it has worked on both. The Gorilla Glass Victus can survive drops of up to 2 meters (6.5 feet) on rough and hard surfaces and is twice as scratch resistant as the Gorilla Glass 6, offering a drop resistance of 1.6 meters (5.25 feet).
As good as that sound is, the Victus is not invincible, and the pieces of dirt and metal inside its pocket and purse could steal it and cause a scratch.
Like the previous versions of Gorilla Glass, Victus will also protect tablets, laptops, and portable devices.
With further improvements comes a price increase, but Corning insists that the cost will be offset as manufacturers will have to deal with fewer scratched displays. The company also claims that crash and scratch performance greatly influences purchasing decisions and consumers are willing to pay a premium for it.
Another area where Galaxy Note 20 lags behind the Note 20 Ultra
tidbit: There is Gorilla Glass 5 on the front of the Note20. Ultra has Gorilla Glass 7 and an “AL 7S10” steel frame.
