They use the same armor aluminum material for the frame as last year's models, boast the same IP rating for dust and water resistance, but feature a new generation of Gorilla Glass protection.

GG 6 is pretty shatter resistant : Much more than 3, which was the best at scratch resistance. Its a balancing game : boost shatter resistance and you weaken scratch resistance. And you should remember that it depends on the incidence angle of the shock - if it were at the corners and the phone fell just rightthen it wold shatter under 1 m

Don't be fooled by the "scratch-ability" of Gorilla Glass 5. When it comes to being scratched, it's no better or worse than some other brands of glass used for cellphone screens, but when it comes to strength (cracking/breaking), Gorilla Glass leads the industry, just as Corning's famous household cookware glass, "Pyrex", has for many decades..

Gorilla Glass 3 is an economical formulation available with minimum order quantities and ideal for industrial, medical, and consumer applications Later generations may be better suited for some special purposes (for example, Gorilla Glass Victus is 2X more scratch resistant than generation 6 and 20% more drop resistant, able to survive a 2
