Corning Glass...

Yesterday, Corning annourced Galaxy S using her Glass... Does it mean the coming new Hardware will have the Corning Glass, or the one in market is already with Corning Glass?
BTW, how good is the Gorilla Glass?

[Q] Glass used for xPeria Z

Hello,
i was reading the thread about removing the anti-shatter film and been thinking about doing it myself, however i noticed that there is no official or at least confirmed information about the glass that is used in xPeria Z. I have read that it is Gorilla glass on the front and Dragontrail on the back or the other way around, but i could not seem to find the proof that it is actually those brands that are used.
Usually, i believe, the phone manufacturers are proud of the protection they use for their screens and tend to highlight that they are using the strongest glass available on the market, yet in Xperia Z's case it is just said that it's a scratch resistant glass with anti-shatter film on it. It might be that it's just Sony that won't talk about the glass
So if anyone knows any solid info about this, please do share it .
Thanks.

I think they are both dragontrail glass.

Sony never said (in public) what glass they used, they just said "some kind of tempered glass". So I've got no clue why Amazon says Dragontail @ front and back. Why would only they have this kind of info?

Front uses Dragontrail Glass, and the back is Gorilla Glass 2 according to slides from Sony's presentation in Hong-Kong. As long as our friend from XDA got the translation right. We can be - at least - sure there's Dragontrail and Gorilla Glass on XZ.
Interestingly though, the one slide that detailed the glass components is now missing...
Here's the original thread where we found and shared the details - there was one more slide there that got removed from the site:

It got saved on other websites though, you can see it here:

In terms of resistance, which is the best? Dragontail or Gorilla Glass?

Pretty much identical. I have read stories of people breaking the back panel and some breaking the front panel both from drops or pressure applied in their pockets

Yes, i have seen this slide and also i have read that it might not be 100% true, moreover the picture is taken from someone's laptop.
Some guys here on xda seem to have sources of information from inside sony, maybe they could answer the question?

I think it's not gorilla
I think Sony made it

Most likely isn't tempered at all.

The only thing you could do is, perhaps, use a knife to try and scratch part of the back of the phone. If it scratches, it's not tempered glass. If it doesn't scratch, it is (technically). Remember that Gorilla Glass is just a brand - there are plenty of good Chinese tempered glass companies.

Huawei uses tempered glass in all they devices, but not Gorilla Glass. It's just a proprietary screen glass - that doesn't mean that Mate 20 Lite screen glass is better or worst that Gorilla Glass.
Neverless, use a screen protector to be safe, as not even the most recent versions or Gorilla glass are indestructible.

People still believe screen "protector" have any use! Use a (smart) cover/case instead.

I use the phone without any cover anywhere and it has one or two hard to see in the screen, also a few hits in the corner but well
