gorilla glass 4? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Did a few searches the other day and wasn't able to find out if the N6 is using the new gorilla glass 4 or the v3. Anyone know?

finally found an article (on forbes of all places) that says it's GG 3.
http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2014/10/15/nexus-6-vs-nexus-5/

Motorola's site also confirms
Display
5.96” AMOLED, 1440x2560, 16:9 aspect ratio, 493 ppi, Corning® Gorilla Glass® 3

What are the advantages of gorilla glass 4 over 3?

my memory isn't 100% but I think Corning said (at their CES booth in the main hall) that the only device available with GG 4 was a samsung device(s). it probably can easily be researched online though.

Advantages? Bragging rights.
The number is just part of their marketing. They bump it up occasionally because it gives the impression that something is advancing. There is no detectable difference. Maybe the manufacturing yields are better. End result is that FOR YOU, there is no difference.

LOL, you read that marketing bull-poop? Every time they say "its way stronger", they're comparing it exclusively to COMPETING products, not GG3. They are, in fact, making ABSOLUTELY NO claims with respect to GG3.

"In drop tests using Gorilla Glass 4, the new material was about twice as likely to survive a 1-meter drop onto a rough surface (Corning uses 180-grit sandpaper for these tests) than Gorilla Glass 3. "

Maybe you should go back and read the PRESS RELEASE that I was referring to, before you start spewing marketing articles (aka 'bull-poop'), which have no basis in... anything at all. The author of that ADVERTISEMENT you refer to, is the one who made that claim, FYI.

Even if there is Gorilla Glass 10, it can be easily scratched by sand or something

I have no idea what you're trying to say. Corning officially states that it is more resilient to drops that GG3, period. Whether or not you believe them is your opinion.

no, it's protected by corning gorilla glass 3

Any idea if this is going to be gorilla glass?
I hate to be as hard as I am on my phones but, I have an unfortunate tendency to drop phones at least a few times over the course of a two year contract.
My captivate has held up amazingly but, I'm worried about a newer phone.

Man.. I thought I had found my phone for my December upgrade.
Prospects are surprisngly bleak on At&t :/
I just hesitate to use a phone that doesn't have gorilla glass.. My captivate has been beaten savagely and yet it still looks relatively great.
Aren't all manufacturers using some Corning variant of the gorilla glass these days? I know there are various grades of gorilla glass now, so that may be the question at hand.
The T got no gorilla glass at least accdg. to this article. http://www.gadgetreview.com/2012/08/xperia-t.html
I've got three to choose from on my next upgrade, note 2, the upcoming nexus, and T.

michelle: Thank you for holding, I checked the phone specs and it seems that the actual front screen of the phone is made of Gorilla Glass only, the back or the back cover it is not.

Alessandro : how's that possible?
michelle: Sorry about that, the back it is not. I will inform our engineers to correct that information

LG has been pretty clear about this since day 1, the back is not Corning Gorilla Glass. They have specifically informed reviewers in the press to not call the back gorilla glass. It is some other kind of hardened glass, either from Corning or another maker. Gorilla Glass is a brand name. Don't get hyped up on brands, they're near-meaningless.

fyi Sprint S4 does not include gorilla glass

So I have had 2 screens crack for no apparent reason. 1st replaced by costco under warranty. Second I send to samsung. Samsunf supervisor claims the sprint version as well as multiple other us carriers do not include gorilla glass. They discounted the repair from 200 down to 70 due to the confusion but warned me that the phane absolutely does not have gorilla glass and if it had they would without a doubt civer it under warranty.
Multiple samsung reps will confirm this. If you check on Sprints website you will see no mention of gorilla glass on the s4 either

They all have Gorilla Glass. I repair the screens and get real intimate with the glass when taking them apart and they're all the same. Just played with a L720 and I545 and they both break with the same amount of force.
I know its not scientific but as best I can tell its the same glass.

Why the hell would the US variants not use the same glass as international. Doesn't seem logical to me. It would cost more money as you would have two different assembly lines, increasing the cost just to put a cheaper glass like the guys above us are saying.

Gorilla glass is scratch resistant...not scratch-proof or unbreakable.
No phone directly says Gorilla Glass anymore. Check tech specs on most phones and for the most part they say scratch resistant glass.
In the US, Gorilla Glass is no longer a selling point as it once was. A few years ago when it was new everyone asked about it. No one really asks this anymore. I have had maybe 1 person ask about gorilla glass in the last 6 months. The focus is resolution, camera and extras. Those are what providers focus their info on.
If you compare these screens vs normal glass screens (cheap ebay replacements) there is a noticable difference. From thickness (check with a micrometer) to strength and weight. A real gorilla glass screen is a hair thicker than glass but noticably heavier.

Pretty much any phone these days is made with some form of chemically-treated scratch-resistant glass, with or without the "gorilla" branding.

All US S4's have Gorilla Glass 3. Just confirmed with Samsung on the phone and with a Sprints Phone Rep. Not on the phone with a desk jockey. But the actual Rep for phones. No one brags anymore about Gorilla Glass as its just common knowledge. But it's there and part #'s prove it. Samsung stated basicly the same thing. All S4's have GG3. Its standard and they would not deviate from that for any reason.

Well understand that metal is softer than glass. So it won't scatch it but it can scratch the top layer that is there to prevent finger prints and stuff. I'm not sure how to spell it so I won't attempt but I'm sure someone else knows.

Good to know - thanks for the research
The only thing it is, is an "Oleophobic" coating on the glass for scratches, prints, things like that. That is why if you see some older or lower end phones once the coating deteriorates you can see like blemishes and scratches that seem to look like there almost in the paint or under the glass. Really common wither older iPhone screens.
Although I know this has been addressed just to reiterate. .. I am a sprint Rep myself and yes the S4 (all versions) does contain the GG or Gorilla Glass. Anyone think we can get a Cleaner out here to close down this thread. No offense CJ I am sure were just trying to help and get info you were told out there. But unfortunately everyone doesnt know their stuff ( as I'm sure you now know) this is how false information gets around.

"Oleophobic" just means that the screen is fingerprint resistant (it repels grease to some degree). It doesn't have anything to do with scratch protection.

Confirmation from Corning the Note 4 uses Gorilla Glass 4.Thats a really nice Suprise!
That's good to know, perhaps that's the reason why when the metal pin (used on adjusting weights in the weightlifting machine we own) fell about 3 feet straight to my phone screen, only the thin film on top of it got scratched, I almost got a heart attack when I saw that heavy pin plunge straight to my phone screen
*edit
I just read the article from the corning site, does this mean that only phones made past nov20 get the glass or do they mean that other phones outside of the phones mentioned like the iPhone 6 and Galaxy Note 4/edge /alpha would get the glass because I bought the phone last Nov 17
It's an exynos 910 C though
So I have managed to scratch Gorilla Glass 4 without really doing anything with the phone, nice. The scratch appeared shortly after I bought the phone - I didn't even put it in my pocket or anything.
^Awww, this is my first really good phone that's cutting edge for its year so I'm really protective of it, I'm planning to buy a tempered glass protector for it, and recommendations?
I was happy to find out that there weren't any scratches at all on my phone screen after the weight training machine pin (is there a real term for this) fell straight on to the phone screen

Beware Note4's Screen protection

Hi all,
For those of you cares about scratches on your screen; you'd better put on a screen protector.
Upon noticing a tiny little one centimetre scratch on my phone I am outraged to find that it is no where to be found in the listed Official $am$ung Specifications for this phone, the Corning Gorilla Glass 4 announced on 20/Nov/2014, as a feature.
As a matter of fact that such protection mechanism is of right now industry wide standard practice. And as to why I find a tiny little scratch on my phone is evidence that $am$ung did not employ a proper screen protection on this massively expensive cellphone MADE CHEAPLY.
As a result those of you who might not be aware should check to see if your cellphone's screen contains little to many scratches. At least with my cellphone I find that the screen protection was inadequate due to this scratch. To bring all of you reading this to the attention of my phone being "Made in Vietnam"; could it be a reason why $am$ung did not include and mention Corning Gorilla Glass 4 in its specifications website. Such a product is a shame for $am$ung to announce the release to its consumers. The fact is now clear that $am$ung's Note4 is a overpriced product with incompetent design and after sales services, ie, firmware update delay and rumours in the media. Evidently, as seen on this forum there were clones and fakes of this cellphone which degrades the name and value of it to the lowest in comparison to other major companies and brands of smartphones and tablets.
Further more to this outrage upon less then three months (since 17/Oct/2014) of the release of Note 4, it has already made news the new Note 5 is coming soon.
This is almost like that $am$ung has admitted that this Note 4 is an utter failure and would kindly likely to stop production and support of any of its variants in favour of a New Market segment to the new Note 5. This is all nothing but to drain the global economy on a massive scale of smartphone markets and buyers. As a propaganda of the product from this company, it could have ruined its long built reputations.
Who would want a expensive smartphone without sufficient screen protection ? And now with such discovery, this leads to the conclusion that Note4 is nothing more than a piece of expensive rip-off cheaply built low quality product with a screen that is easily scratched.
Gorilla glass 4 is not a sapphire or diamond and it is scratched by sand for example. You can't blame Samsung for content of your pockets. If I could afford to have a few loose diamonds in my pockets, I wouldn't worry about little scratch.

........What the heck did I just read?
Let's break things down, shall we?
- NO phone screen is scratch-proof! NONE! Any form of Gorilla Glass is scratch-resistant, but it's just that - resistant! That means scratches can still happen. I also can pretty much guarantee that any other phone you may have had without a screen protector would have small, micro-scratches. Deny it all you want, but as I stated originally, no phone display is scratch-proof.
- Regarding lack of firmware updates, obviously you've never owned a Samsung device (or most other non-Nexus device). Has HTC released Lollipop everywhere for the HTC One (M8)? No. LG G3? Only rolling out in select markets. Heck, even Moto hasn't updated all their Moto X (2014) devices yet, and those are about as close to stock Android as you can get! Part of the blame is on the manufacturer, part on the carriers. So if you think Samsung is alone here, think again!
- Regarding a "cheaply-made" device, it's built better than previous Samsung devices! Sure, an iPhone may seem better built, but it has its own share of problems ("bendgate" anyone?)
- With regards to talk of a Note 5, guess what? A new Note appears every year around October! Just like a new Nexus, a new iPhone, a new HTC One, etc. Any rumor now is incredibly early, and thus is almost pointless to speculate on.
In short, sounds like someone just wanting to rant and be a troll because they didn't bother protecting their expensive phone like they should have. You won't get much sympathy here, as there's really nobody else to blame but yourself. Not Samsung, you.
Corning have said themselves it uses Gorilla Glass 4.Its listed on their website .
http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/en/products-with-gorilla/samsung/samsung-galaxy-note-4
As another poster said, Gorilla Glass isn't 100% scratch resistant, it gives protection but you can still get scratches on the screen.
Anyway, there's no way Corning would list the product as having GG4 if it didn't, that would be commercial suicide.
Also, why would it being made in Vietnam mean it would be of lesser quality?!
:facepalm:
All credibility was lost when you decided to type '$am$ung'.
If you're going to complain, at least be adult about it.

The fact is that the device should be scratch proof as with many other devices I own previously. Like Asus TF700T, Samsung Galaxy S3, S4, and S5, iPad 3, 4, Air and Air 2. I don't have any problems with screen protection on these devices.
Despite any slow updates, I do not object that such important updates require multiple processes, however, when it comes to priority on servicing its customers none of its models updates should be in a serial manner but as a parallel. That's to say this process should be consistent not intermittent.

Corning have said themselves it uses Gorilla Glass 4.Its listed on their website .

As another poster said, Gorilla Glass isn't 100% scratch resistant, it gives protection but you can still get scratches on the screen.
Anyway, there's no way Corning would list the product as having GG4 if it didn't, that would be commercial suicide.
Also, why would it being made in Vietnam mean it would be of lesser quality?!

I am not satisfied with the screen protection compared with older products which I own previously and had no screen protections problems.
The fact is that generally if it is made with quality then I should not have seen a scratch on the screen.
And if it is made in Vietnam I am only speculating as to why they have chosen this route and produces a screen which is capable of being scratched easily.

If you're going to complain, at least be adult about it.

Tell me what's __wrong__ and immature (as you suggested) with $am$ung ?
This is the fact that a unhappy user does not like to type its name in the proper form.

And how does this justify that Samsung did not list the type of screen protection on its specifications web page??

Tell me, do you put a screen protector on your phone or not?

Oh yeah and don't tell me that you can not complain because Samsung did not officially list the type of screen protection on their specifications web page.
And if you do scratch your phone unconsciously, should you mind that Samsung did not want to provide a proper screen protection nor do they want to tell you exactly what is the form of screen protection they have implemented on Note 4. But, instead leave you to wonder what screen protection is on the phone and let's wander into third party websites which lists the device as with Corning Gorilla Glass 4.
The fact is that Samsung did not formally acknowledge that this device has Corning Gorilla Glass 4.
Mind you, if you do get a scratch on your screen, how would you feel about your new device being scratched and becoming ugly and do not look like new.
We're not your enemies here - take a breath. Clearly you're upset and feel wronged or deceived in some way.
Vote with your wallet and buy an alternate brand next time.
For what it's worth, I'm pleasantly surprised at how well-built my Note 4 is. It doesn't have a single scratch or scuff on the screen of any kind. I keep it in my pockets and leave it on surfaces without a thought. It's also survived three heavy hits onto solid tiled floors from about one metre without so much as a ding on the band or anywhere else. I don't have any case or screen protector either.
By contrast, my old 5s hit the same tiled floor from a lesser height and had two significant dents in the alu band and looked like the screen was about to submit at any moment.
This is not meant as a boast but rather to say my experience is different to yours.

How is it Samsungs fault that you, by not fitting a screen protector, have scratched your phone?
I don't use screen protectors. If the screen gets scratched, it's my fault. Take some responsibility and stop blaming others.

As everybody said, nothing is scratch resistant...just use a screen protector and that's it.
BTW i had mine for 2 months and no scratch or whatsoever
... And the important takeaway here is that no company has a scratch-proof screen. Just because you never noticed a scratch on a previous device does not mean it was scratch-proof. No company has ever made such a claim either, because they know they'd be sued pretty darn quick for false advertising.

I am not saying that, but they did not list it in the specs, how do you know what do you get?

Totally defeats the purpose of Corning Gorilla Glass by using a screen protector.
