Gorilla Glass
Gorilla Glass is an especially durable glass from the manufacturer Corning. It protects the displays and backs of many smartphones from scratches and breaks.
What does Gorilla Glass mean?
The glass is chemically hardened. Corning regularly releases new generations that are supposed to survive drops from greater heights or onto rougher surfaces. The names change with every generation.
Scratch-resistant doesn't mean indestructible. Sand in your pocket leaves fine marks on any glass, and an unlucky fall onto the edge can break even the best glass. A case and a screen protector still make sense.
A general explanation of the term, not from a video. How it plays out on a specific device in everyday use is covered in the reviews below.
