Galaxy Nexus gets a scratch test, Gorilla Glass-less screen not actually an issue.
If you’re following all the news about the Galaxy Nexus, you probably know the fact that the Galaxy Nexus doesn’t include Corning’s branded Gorilla Glass “scratch free” screen coating. Some buyers said it is a “deal breaker,” but it looks like the lack of Corning’s technology is not actually a BIG issue.
a Youtube user named Samsung Mobiler Dom has uploaded a video to show us that the Gorilla Glass-less Galaxy Nexus Prime screen can withstand a car key — and obviously suggesting that the phone can withstand scratch damage from other hard objects.
“Keying this bad boy does nothing!” The uploader added, “Lots of people are rather worried about the durability of the screen on the Galaxy Nexus. I wouldn’t worry too much…” See the video below.
Viewers also reacted, one commenter said “Anyone still complaining about gorilla glass?” Another added, “Awesome!! It’s better than gorilla glass.” But not all are convinced. One guy wrote, “The relatively soft metal keys are made of is nowhere near hard enough to scratch even regular glass. Take a perfectly normal drinking glass out of your kitchen cabinet and key it; surprise, no scratches. This proves nothing.” Another one added, “try some rough sand paper. dull key proves nothing.”
Last month, Corning said in a Tweet that the Galaxy Nexus doesn’t include its screen technology, “For all who have asked, just confirmed (Corning) Gorilla Glass is not on the new Galaxy Nexus,” says the company in a tweet adding that buyers should “ask Samsung.”
Samsung quickly responded, but not in Twitter. One of the company’s rep has responded in Facebook, “instead of the Gorilla Glass we use another kind of fortified glass.” However, the Korean company has declined to mention the glass company behind the fortified glass of the Galaxy Nexus. Asahi? Well, maybe.
Many Android smartphones are using Corning’s Gorilla Glass to protect their new high-end devices. In fact, these OEMs often use Corning’s brand name just to convince customers that the phones are durable and sturdy enough to withstand the scratches.
Galaxy Nexus (or Nexus Prime if you hate Galaxy) is now available in United Kingdom and reports say Verizon will sell the LTE variant late this month or early next month. The Galaxy Nexus is the first Android Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone.
