Corning released its toughest smartphone glass to date several months ago. Corning Gorilla Glass Victus is the happy screen protector, one that succeeds the mythical Gorilla Glass 6, which until recently was the most resistant. The thing is that Xiaomi has announced that the Victus will be the one we find in the My 11, the long-awaited mobile flagship of the firm that is close to arriving.
For that reason, We hope that the Xiaomi Mi 11 is not a fragile mobile, but one that copes well with scratches, falls and all kinds of abuse.
Corning's Victus will be the glass that will protect the Xiaomi Mi 11
Xiaomi, through a publication made a few hours ago on the Weibo social network, confirmed that The high-end Mi 11 will feature the latest Corning Gorilla Glass Victus glass, something that has been rumored before, but that is not until now that it is official. In addition, as the Chinese manufacturer emphasizes, the Victus has a scratch resistance 2 times higher than the predecessor.
On the other hand, Xiaomi also says that the Mi 11 will be 1.5 times more resistant to drops, which will be beneficial more than anything if the phone is carried without a case, something that we do not recommend under any circumstances. Precisely, it can also preserve structural integrity as long as it is dropped on surfaces up to 2 m high, according to Corning itself. In addition, its scratch resistance is up to 4 times better than other aluminosilicate glasses on the market and even some predecessor Corning models.
Corning had also previously announced that the Victus is capable of withstanding a pressure of up to 100 kilograms. It remains to be known if this glass will also be included in the rear panel of the mobile.
