the new york company Corning they had already announced their new Gorilla Glass Victus 2 a few weeks ago, and obviously we all knew instantly that these new generation chemically tempered glasses were to adorn and protect the new flagship phones than samsung introduce us in the first Unpacked of 2023.

In any case, we have had to wait almost for the presentation of the newest from Samsung to know for sure, and it is that in these days prior to the coming-out of the Galaxy S23 details such as the “Snapdragon platform for Galaxy” that Qualcomm is already cooking with the South Koreans, in addition to a confirmation that does not come from Samsung but directly from Corning.

And it is that indeed, it is no longer official but official that The Gorilla Glass Victus 2 will be released together with the Samsung Galaxy S23who thus want to protect themselves with state-of-the-art materials while also making sure, as in the case of exclusive Qualcomm chips, to present an interesting competitive advantage Faced with increasingly fierce competition, that will have to wait for these Victus 2.

The truth is that the announcement is indirect, because Corning has announced its agreement with Samsung Electronics talking about the Gorilla Glass Victus 2 will appear with the assumptions “upcoming flagship Galaxy mobiles”, without making direct references to the S23.

Obviously and given the times, with a Samsung Unpacked already quoted on Wednesday, February 1, there is no doubt that the S23 will be the winners with material release size premium.

Corning says its new glasses offer greater resistance with very few compromisesalthough it is pure physics that if the resistance to shocks is improved, the hardness is less and therefore the response to scratches should be significantly worse.

In any case, the company based on One Riverfront Plaza confirms that this generation Victus 2 is mainly focused on drop resistancebut without renouncing in any case the durability against scratches that we already knew of its previous tempered glass.

Not in vain, the analyzes indicate that these new glasses from Corning should withstand drops onto rough surfaces such as concrete from approximately 1 meter in heightand falls on asphalt from heights of up to 2 meters.

In addition, it is not a minor matter that the North American company wants to state that its Gorilla Glass Victus 2 contains about 22% recycled materials, thus complying in part with a more sustainable production cycle and helping to alleviate the enormous carbon footprints left by an industry such as that of smartphones. In fact, it’s that Corning has achieved the Certification of Validation of Environmental Declarationsand we are told that Samsung will also boast greener materials during the presentation of the Galaxy S23.

Is there going to be something that we don’t know in advance for this Unpacked 2023?
