[@eshan309]

"To be clear" "*lol*"

[@robbiewallace7734]

I read this as he said it

[@Enigma1990ad]

Gorilla glass is not scratch resistant against the most common and prevalent material there is and that's SAND. All it takes is a few grains to land on your phone and a quick wipe afterwards to give your screen a nice deep scratch. If they make it to withstand sand then I'll be impressed.

[@davidflores909]

***** Well it greatly depends on where you got the sand. Anyway, there is one material that can survive unscathed virtually any sand you might rub into its surface (unless you crushed diamonds and made sand out of them) and it is Sapphire. Linus already said it in the video actually, but just look up for "Scratch test Sapphire" here on KZbin and you'll see yourself.

[@JacobHillSBD]

That might have to be another material. As you should know, glass is made from melted down sand. Sort of like how a knife sharpener can sharpen a knife, sand can scratch glass, due to them still being structurally similar on an atomic scale. At least, I think so...

[@playerguy2]

David Flores not cheap dough..

[@josueisraelreyesmuniz8913]

Jacob Hill sand contains quartz which is 7 in scale of hardness, normal glass is 5.5 in the same scale that's why sand scratches glass, for the glass to be less scratchy is has to have another material on it.

[@frtard]

+JOSUÉ ISRAEL REYES MUÑIZ Sand, glass and quartz are are made of primarily the same thing; silicon dioxide. What's different among them is their structure, residual stresses and additives. The strength is greatly affected by the structure. Gorilla Glass is an aluminosilicate glass where the surface of the glass is placed in a large degree of compressive stress. Surface flaws get essentially closed up. It's the same idea as tempered glass, but instead of heating it past the transition temperature and a quickly cooling it, it's boiled in molten potassium.

[@smartydix]

Not sure if people ever comment about these audible ads but I think that book is a must-read...

[@TrickTube]

Love the ads in the end, when it comes you just quickly choose another video. Very practical indeed

[@MajatekZawalski]

That video ending. Nailed it.

[@tarassu]

Other people?!? This is a myth. Do you have a proof? :D

[@jiiub]

LOVE YOU LINUS!!! I LIKE YOUR VIDEOS ALL THE TIME! dont be angry :(

[@Persnoody]

Gorilla Glass as Linus said isn't perfect, my beautiful Nexus 5 got a scratch on it from a plastic trash can. I really don't think the glass that they send out the manufacturers is as good as they bring to these shows or tend to lead on. This is the first time that any of my cell phones have gotten a scratch on the screen and none of my previous phones had any sort of glass. I did get my first ever screen protector for the Nexus after I scratched it though, in the hopes of concealing the scratch and preventing any further damage. Good video Linus.

[@LukePTBA]

Well, yeah, every company cherry picks the shit they take to conventions.

[@Outfrost]

This kind of beginning for the advertisement block is way better than the previous one ;)

[@balakotia]

Whenever I read title of any of your video, my mind adds "as fast as possible" automatically at the end. O.o

[@jhlt787]

Get a Nokia 3310 if you want an indestructible phone

[@unknownsniper23]

i dropped my phone on concrete while running, didn't smash/cracked and dropped it on tiles yesterday still completely fine, i should be more careful now :O

[@AngeloGi]

Somebody needs to count how many times he does the "quotes" thing with his hands in all these videos.

[@NovaDragon]

Linus as always a great video keep them coming or ill lose my mind :D

[@YUR0ii]

2:27 End of the Line? BONUS DUCKS

[@CanIHasThisName]

Important detail is that while Gorilla Glass can crack, it will still protect the actual display from damage most of the time, which is a real money-saver since the display is usually the most costly repair on a phone and it's usually better to just buy a whole new phone.

[@Osiris-wm2kj]

Thanks for this 🤘

[@Scarecrow-zr3zx]

Sapphire crystal is used in watches and is really scratch resistant. Only issue would be cost.

[@MaxContagion]

@2:14 made the video worth it. Even though I liked all the tech stuff to. I rarely see a joke on a short show like this that doesn't come across as lame. On any of the channels I watch. Got the first smartphone I plan on keeping. I don't think it uses gorilla glass though. It is a lot nicer then I originally though such a thing would be. I even switched the service over from my old cell phone so I wouldn't have to carry that around any more. A lot of people keep telling me I need data. Seems useless to me. The wi-fi on it works well enough. I don't need wi-fi while I am out anyway. I tend to go out to shop, walk, or visit friends. Not to surf the internet, or look up weather reports and such. I actually wanted the thing as a all in one. Had no plans to actually use it as a phone at all. Was glad that a friend gave me a old one didn't have any use left for. As is, while out, I can read my kindle books on it, listen to a few mp3s, or take pictures of interesting things. The use as a phone when needed is nice. I only ever used 10 minutes a month of my cell sevice any way. So wouldn't really have missed it much. Turns out smatphones are a lot better then I originally thought they were.

[@draggboy]

That would be pretty cool since it would never break but it's would dent like hell and be full of dimples.

[@FraeschD]

The molecule structue of Gorilla glass contains Aluminium...... mind blown! :P

[@SideWinder1286]

It does exist, just not for phone screens etc. Search for "Aluminium Oxynitride" or "ALON"

[@Eggemeyers]

Wish you would've gone into a little more detail about why Corning Gorilla glass is tougher... Like their manufacturing processes. I know it supposed to be "as fast as possible", but you generally include more substance in these videos than you did in this one tbh.

[@AdityaCasio]

exactly what I was thinking

[@dontplaythatsongdude]

Okay, so I was literally thinking of How to Win Friends and Influence People just a split second before you said it. We must be connected.

[@Xielent]

My S3 dropped 3 feet onto wood floor and shattered like hell. Tells you how great Gorilla Glass is....

[@alexalcalaortiz368]

my s2 dropped into a sharp rock and the screen shattered but it still looks and works great so your comment is probably not true

[@midibudu]

some ear stretching pieces, are made of gorila glass, the quality is awesome

[@MrHSX]

I watched this particular video on my newly broken tablet I wait for your coverage on the suggested topics

[@AsidsTechTips]

Thank you Linus, again legendary explanation,

[@jordandecoste]

Nicely done, yet again! Thanks and keep it up.

[@ProjectBoredomKiller]

New subbie here. Love your videos (so far). just bought a ZTE zmax pro with gorilla glass. Thanx for the explanation. real nice phone BTW.

[@luisb.henaoj9216]

as allways very good explanation, congratulations.

[@CelmorSmith]

Never hat a smartphone but know everything about their specs and how most of their components work technically. The last "Handy" i had, was a PocketPC with Windows Mobile 6 (from Glofiish).

[@Brommakisen]

just love these not so slow videos

[@kamacoz9738]

my only concerned about the glass is the clarity will I notice a difference? And how is the feel in comparison? thanks

[@tims525]

it could have been better if Linus identified the differences between the GG versions as fast as possible and advantages of sapphire glass. :)

[@kdbholly]

I dropped my nexus 5 on some rather sharp rocks and all they caused was a minor chip in the glass, it is barely noticeable, and the touchscreen still works there. Edit: Also with no screen protector

[@DETRIVNI]

[@Peopie9]

Where can we find the video of your hands on test at the trade shows? I think there should be a link in the video somewhere for that

[@mysisterfanny]

i have a question... do you still wear socks with sandals and if so why do you wear that combo?

[@awksweat230]

I had a nasty accidental drop on my bathroom fall. My nexus 5 screen didn't crack but what kind of damage can hard drops do to performance of a phone in the long run? I'm afraid it will be slow in a year due to all the drops it's endured.

[@ThoolooExpress]

Drops don't really affect electronics, unless they have moving parts, which phones don't.

[@iChocoCookie]

I dropped my s3(without any case or screen protectors)about 10 times now.Still as fast as when I got it.

[@awksweat230]

Its funny you should say that, I owned a lumia 920 before my nexus 5. I dropped it on bathroom floor and the screen shattered beyond repair. Since I still had another year to upgrade, I was left with buying a nexus 5 for the excellent price of $350.

[@jellecosemans6133]

[@herogaca]

KemoKa77 i used my old nokia c6 for hamer and it worked perfect also i used it to hit my friend lololol

[@franciscoayrolo5612]

Then how do you explain that my Moto E broke by falling approx 50 cm, while a friend of mine has been dropping his Moto G more than 10 times and nothing happens? I really am puzzled, it can't be just tough luck

[@jan050375]

that quiet lol made my day.

[@TheFanOfMyself1]

I've got gorilla glass on my Nokia Lumina, and i've got a downside... Not a very big one "dough". When i put my phone upside down on ANY surface, i WILL slip off, quite slowly. I can litteraly lay it on a super flat table, and about 2 minutes later, it's on the floor.... IT'S SOOOO SLIPPERY!!

[@Alle525]

Wait, so by sapphire crystal, are we talking actual transparent corundum, or is it just branding? Because a corundum screen would be pretty damn resilient to scratching.

[@mercentperrault]

What about Dino Glass?

[@venstoma]

my watch uses saphire chrystals, i just thought i should point that out to anyone that says that "no one cares" but cared enough to reply.

[@AMGunawardana]

What about dragontrail glass!!!can you do a as fast as possible video for it!!!

how about dragontrail glass which will be on the sony experia z2?

[@StreetSWAT]

you should do one on dragontail glass

[@IcyG7]

Nokia 3310 is the most indestructible piece of tech ever created

[@Vyppaaa11]

Interesting point, both of my sisters bought Motorola Atrix HDs which use gorilla glass. Both of them shattered their screens. I also have an Atrix HD, absolutely no issues

[@iamdarkyoshi]

I have had mixed results with this. On the one hand, it is difficult to break or fingerprint. one day I got out of my truck and my nexus 7 2013 fell out onto CEMENT. ON THE CORNER. ouch. It didnt break, it hardly even damaged the tablet's plastic case. Very impressive! An ipad would have shattered into a million pieces. However, a week later, i come home to see that my tablet (had been in my hoodie pocket all day) had 1 hairline crack from left to right (in landscape). anything under the crack didnt respond to touch and the cracked area kept "ghost touching" . i had to unplug the digitizer and run the device off an OTG mouse. All day. A COMPUTER MOUSE FOR TOUCH SCREEN. A repair cost me $100 bucks. ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS! this was JUST for the lcd and digitizer (which has the worst digitizer on the planet) and i put it in myself. Conclusion: It works decently well. It CAN be scratched rather easily, and it is POSSIBLE to crack it. I will give it to apple, although apples shatter much easier, they can be run over by a car and still work fine.

[@joshnegane4007]

Is it better than Dragontrail?

[@Brainiac5]

loved that mini pun haha

[@jakesimm5889]

my step dad works for corning. :)

[@lazyweapons]

well, my experiences with gorilla Glass have been pretty good. Though I favour Dragntrail Glass. It rivals Gorrila Glass pretty well, in terms of what it has to offer, and is found on cheap and expensive handsets.

[@Axelsypkenssmit]

sony uses dragon trail glass witch claimed to be 6x stronger than gorilla glass, unfortunately it broke quite easily on me on the xperia Z

[@patrickhenderson51]

This glass is so good I dropped my dads iPhone 8, 10 foot down some stairs and it survived I thought I was gonna die until I picked it up

[@bigcazza5260]

apple seems to have utilised its flexibility

[@deneb_tm]

Well, my Nexus 4 uses "Gorilla glass" and it broke from falling straight down from 1 m (front landing). Also, my new display is already pretty scratched up for some weird reason.

[@xSolidgamezx]

I think most of the gorilla glass phones have an equally strong and scratch resistant etc, screen as my Nokia Lumia 520 does. I've got one minor scratch on it, let it fall a couple of times and no damage at all. That while I get the impression that if you drop a gorilla glass phone at the same angle and height it would break.

[@MrPaavoonparas]

Linus, do a video about what is the difference between for an example LGA1150 h81, b85, h87, z87 or FM2+ a55, a78, a88, a88x.....

[@dahliaaiden4376]

Im confused as to whether this gorilla glass is a built in or it come separately like an accessory to the smartphone for example samsung a73 .

Didn't catch that pun for a few seconds, but damn it was a good one.

[@agneshoblige4686]

I bought a Nexus 5. Sadly I know what Gorilla Glass is. The Nexus shattered all over the place when it dropped from a one foot fall. I just assumed that phone would have had Gorilla Glass, but it didn't. Now I got a BQ and never been happier.
