It's been 10 years since Corning introduced its first high-strength material made especially for telephones. Since then, the company has been developing it to offer greater resistance capacity to its wearers. As evidence of it, brings us the new Corning Gorilla Glass 6.
Corning has announced that an upcoming device will be carrying it, and it is from, nothing more and nothing less, Oppo. This phone manufacturer will be the first to bring us a mobile with this high-resistance glass.
From this announcement, the rumors that it is the Oppo F9 or the R17 they have not been waiting. Although these phones would be the only ones that the Asian company would be about to announce soon, we do not rule out that another model is the one that carries it. On the other hand, the arrival of this high resistance crystal would be scheduled for this same year. After that, other smartphone manufacturers would be implementing it in their terminals.
Companies have reaffirmed and strengthened their relationships. Here are the words of the vice president of the Asian brand:
Oppo and Corning have always maintained a close working relationship, which has enabled a superior user experience for consumers across multiple versions of Oppo smartphones. We are excited to be the first to adopt Gorilla Glass 6 in our next smartphone, and we believe that consumers around the world will enjoy an unprecedented experience.
- Andy Wu, vice president of OPPO.

Finally, regarding the characteristics of Gorilla Glass 6 glass, the resistance of this material is increased compared to that of its predecessor. It is capable of withstanding up to 15 falls from 1 meter high, according to various tests carried out in laboratories. Due to this, it would be being implemented in more rugged devices in the future.
