One of the surfers decided to test the strength of the glass protecting the display of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and came to surprising conclusions.

The fifth generation of Gorilla Glass was to be a revolution. In addition to abrasion resistance, it would be the first glass to ensure that the impact strength. As shown by the first drop tests, indeed, Note 7 surprisingly withstands falls on different surfaces. The problem, however, that the detailed test scratch resistance, carried by vlogger JerryRigEverything shows that, relative to the previous edition, Gorilla Glass 5 has a much lower resistance when it comes to cracks.
According to the test performed by the tester, visible cracks have formed the material with a hardness of 3 on the Mohs scale, which is a very low figure. The allegations were so serious that it has decided to respond Corning company, responsible for the production of glass Gorilla Glass. According to its representatives, the test was performed in uncontrolled conditions, and the person performing it could use a different force each time. At the same time the company has ensured that the latest generation of the product showed a hardness of 5 to 6 on the Mohs scale and is more susceptible to scratches than the Gorilla Glass 4.
All the action caused quite a stir and therefore can expect that soon the network will be more tests to check the possibilities of glass Gorilla glass 5 to verify the credibility of the tests carried out by JerryRigEverything. If it turns out that vlogger was right, this could be a big blow for both Corning and Samsung itself.
