All Motorola Phones Launching This Year Will Feature Corning Gorilla Glass
Feb. 26, 2024For those unaware, Corning is the manufacturer of Gorilla Glass. It uses a special manufacturing process to enhance the toughness and scratch resistance of smartphone display glasses.Gorilla Glass Victus 3is the latest and supposedly the toughest glass Corning has ever produced. It, of course, supersedes Gorilla Glass Victus 2, 1, and Gorilla Glass 5.

This isn’t the first time Motorola will use a Gorilla Glass. Almost all flagships from Motorola use the most recent Gorilla Glass versions. Hence, this announcement seems to be referring to Gorilla Glass coming to the upcoming entry-level or mid-range Motorola smartphones.
Regardless, this is great news for budget buyers since Gorilla Glass should enhance the longevity of displays and protect them from scratches and drops. No display is shatter-proof, but having display protection is better than nothing.
Display protection has been of utmost priority to OEMs, with companies even going to the lengths of making their own ways to protect the display glass. An example of the same would beXiaomi 14 Ultraon which Xiaomi has used its own glass strengthening process to enhance the toughness and make it more scratch-resistant. The company calls it the Xiaomi Shield Glass.
