Technology glossary

Corning Gorilla Glass 3

A protective cover glass over the display, rather than the OLED panel itself.

Corning combines a proprietary glass composition with chemical strengthening to improve resistance to scratches and sharp-contact damage. The number 3 is not a Mohs hardness value.

The manufacturer’s scratch comparisons describe laboratory conditions, not a guarantee against scratches or breakage in a fall.
