Corning has just announced their new Corning Gorilla Glass 4 for smartphones and mobile devices. This time around they've made it in such a way that it can withstand drops on stone up to 80% of the time. Scratch resistance has also been improved and according to Corning East Asia, the new Gorilla Glass 4 is more durable than sapphire crystal glass. They've already started shipping out Gorilla Glass 4 to smartphone makers worldwide, so we could see devices with Corning Gorilla Glass 4  within this year alone. No news on whether it is more expensive or Malaysia release dates but we expect it to feature on the next generation of smartphones coming soon.
