Corning has announced a new variant of its scratch resistant glass, the Gorilla Glass SR+. This new variant is designed exclusively for wearable devices, such as smartwatches and fitness bands.
According to Corning, SR+ achieves scratch resistance approaching that of "alternative luxury cover materials" (probably referring to sapphire crystal) while having 70% better damage resistance against impact and 25% better surface reflection compared to the same alternative material. The improved optical performance should help increase readability outdoors and require lower display brightness.
Gorilla Glass SR+ is now commercially available and is expected to be on products later this year.
50 minutes to make a smartwatch that look like this one with the gorilla picture that exact shape just like the old Galaxy first watch that's a watch I would buy brand new
Maybe Corning should be working on making the product oleophobic too, at least. Preferably "Super oleophobic" would be MUCH better. FYI
