Samsung's next phones will come with scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass Victus

Corning says it next-generation Gorilla Glass survives bigger drops and deep scratches that previously marred a phone's display.

Corning's Gorilla Glass Victus survives drops of up to 2 meters, and it's also more scratch-resistant than its predecessors.

Corning's newest generation of Gorilla Glass isn't just better at withstanding drops. It also avoids those deep scratches that mar the device's screen and body. 

The new glass, called Gorilla Glass Victus, survives drops up to 2 meters (6.56 feet) onto hard, rough surfaces. Other glasses typically fail when dropped from less than 0.8 meters, and the last generation of Corning's glass, Gorilla Glass 6, withstood 1-meter drops
