Samsung Galaxy Nexus survives a key scratch test, worries about Gorilla Glass look silly now
Share:
As if to prove that Gorilla Glass is just the most popular household name when it comes to toughened glass, which makes Corning, its maker, a marketing genius, the screen on the Galaxy Nexus was scratched with keys by someone the minute after they got it, demonstrating that the other tough glass makers are good too.
The result is pretty (in)visible in video, so we can now sleep tight again, knowing that it will be safe to drop the 4.65" HD display on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus in the same pocket with your car keys.

Worries about gorilla glass look silly now??
Is that a typo... I hope
Whatever happened to that dragontooth glass (guessing thats the name) maybe that's what Samsung used .

Looks like this phone is DOA. No gorilla glass and a beta version of android.

Beta means not official. ICS seems pretty official to me. Troll

Scratches are annoying but a cracked screen is a whole other story. I want to see how well it does from being dropped.

I think the new phones these days are pretty scratch resistant ...but when it comes to dropping phones ....it really depends on luck ..if you drop it at a right angle the screen will.probably survive if not ...then you just need a new phone

In terms of drops: You really think the Nexus is going to have worse (or different at all for that matter) glass the the Galaxy S II? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v
=elKxgsrJFhw This video isn't the end-all/be-all, but it sure inspires confidence. All I know is I was pissed when the S II didnt come out for Verizon, so the camera BETTER be as good as the S II, or I'm gonna gather up 1000's of my closest ultra-liberal friends and we're gonna go Occupy Verizon. :P

ASAHI Glass made Dragontrail for mobile devices and also made glasses for all Toyota windows.

I don't even understand why people were worried about this topic in the first place. Samsung has a joint venture with Corning, who came up with gorilla glass. If anything, Samsung has even better glass than gorilla glass. Just because it doesn't have a marketing name yet, doesn't mean it is not protected at least as well as those with the marketed gorilla glass.

We will see how the glass go against scratches and drops after it arrives in people's hands. It's still too early to affirm.

silly test in my opinion... since only about 200 people will buy the nexus (as many of you claim that the nexus are not made to sell) well most "developer" that get the phone.. will only scratch it with the 32 oz of a burger king cup....
