xjinit Yes very true mate, but may I remind you that I only meant it as a scratch test to see just how scratch resistant Gorilla glass is. I mean, many of these tests have someone trying to scratch the glass with the tip of a kitchen dagger/knife. How likely are you to have a huge kitchen knife in your pocket with your phone? It's a freaking test of sheer strength against one of the hardest known crystal structures.
Need to do these tests with sand or sandpaper...knife and metal tests are outdated, unrealistic and largely useless. Sand in pockets is what scratches most phone screens.
I don't think keys are unrealistic, because that's pretty much what my phone screen cuddles with most of the time, and who has sand in their pockets once they're older than 12? But I agree sandpaper should be used so you can see which one is more resistant.
Holonaut you’d be surprised how much dirt/sand is in your pocket that comes off of stuff in there. Keys simply do not scratch phone screens...the metal is too soft. If you get a scratch on your screen, there’s about a 95% chance it came from some type of sand/dirt substance.
The reason the 4 shattered like that is because the new gorilla glass uses an old principle called the "Prince Rupert's drop". A quick explanation is that the glass is heated to red hot and then quickly cooled in water, the outer layer hardens immediately and the inner layer tries to compress (because when matter is heated it expands) it creates inward tension making the glass extremely strong, but the glass still has lots of potential energy built up which is turned kinetic when it breaks.
***** Also I would like to side note that the bend test should have been thrown out. if either glass was just a bit scratched (like the gorilla 3) it would ruin the integrity of the piece.
Dialectical Monist I'm not debating or agreeing with that. I'm just saying that the bend test concludes nothing unless it's done with a brand new piece.
***** But even if the glass is severely damaged, scratched, etc, I think this test strongly demonstrates that the g4 is considerably tougher against fracturing than the g3. And that was the point of the video. He wasn't trying to demonstrate the absolute scientific limits of the material, like a controlled lab, he was just giving a quick demonstration to give people a good idea of the difference.
Again, im not arguing that the glass is not stronger. If you'll read my original comment you'll note that I explain the opposite, that the glass is very strong. I'm saying the test is inconclusive.
Even viewing two years after being posted, this video still provides a great demonstration of the true differences between the two versions of Gorilla Glass, 3 & 4. Excellent demo! I cannot imagine a scenario where the GG3 would ever be bent to the extreme at which it shattered, without additional, catastrophic damage being done to any phone. I must say though, the.GG4 is especially impressive with its additional flexibility. Altogether, I had NO idea that Gorilla Glass was so durable. Thanks for the great video. "Hey babe? Toss me my keys for a second, would ya?" ;-)
It's kind of pointless to do a scratch test comparison using only steel. Gorilla Glass 2 and better are already designed to completely resist scratches from steel as steel isn't very hard on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness compared to other things like silicates (sands/rocks) and some carbons. It's also why sandpaper is a good final test for scratching, because sand and rocks WILL scratch most phone glass even if steel does not.
Sean Kim Yeah, definitely. I've been using my Note 3 for just over a year with no protector on it and the micro-abrasions while not interfering with the display at all have caused the glass to become much more grippy, and things like dust and fingerprints get stuck on the glass more often and are much harder to clean whereas when the screen was new, you just had give it a quick wipe with any kind of cloth and the stuff would wipe off easily.
+Sean Kim so instead of looking through some micro abrasion you could never notice, you'd rather look through some cheap plastic and a layer of gel adhesive?
EleMenTfiNi Wait I can explain. The scratches build up over time and weaken the strength of the glass. Therefore you use a screen protector to help prevent that. (Also other reasons but this maybe one of them)
It´s the most smart test I ever seen, because you didn't had to destroy a smartphone to show the screen resistance!!! I cried watching some videos showing new smartphones being destroyed.
gorrila glass 3 be like- i give up i cant take the pressure gorrila glass 4- lets make this fool think that im indestructible and then explode in his hand!
This is ridiculous, 99% of the time its simply dirt, specifically, sand, that scratches screens. Gorilla Glass 4 is a damn gimmick, ALL screens i've owned from my HTC Touch, ipod touch, iphone 4s, galaxy s4, galaxy s5, s6 edge, have all scratched easily and from simple sand or dirt in my pocket, etc.
+Crystal Star Yes, anything else you need to know, so you know how small a sand particle is, how would you know there is no sand particles in your pockets of things you come in contact with on a daily basis.
+sacr3 mhm either you have a rough job or something else is going on...HTC,iphone 4s,galaxy 4,5,s6 edge, wtf are you doing to your phones...thats a lot of phones to go through lol.
Add some dust from your pocket and BAM scratched screen. Because usually dust will have some particule that are harder then glass. That's where it gets scratched. Not keys.
Gotta say my HTC one m9 has survived more than any phone ever should. Dropped it from a 20 ft ladder onto large rock gravel no scratches or cracks. Dropped it down an elevator shaft no case no protector 2 floors just dented a corner of the aluminum body screen perfectly fine. Kept it in my tool bag with tools just moving loose nothing no scratches or cracks. My toddler throws it all around nothing. But my wife has a iPhone 7 toddler threw hers and entire screen shattered same with my iPhone 6 work phone just from a short three foot drop. Gotta love that apple engineering!
This is exactly why I never put an ugly screen protector on any of my phones. I still have my S2 and S4 laying around and the screens still look flawless. I will leave my S7 edge bare.
I think you'd have a hard time scratching regular glass with those tools. It would be nice to use a slightly dirty rag, one that has a bit of sand dust in it (simulating worst case 'pocket' conditions). Or just use a piece of sand paper to really test the glass.
There's something called the "mohs mineral hardness scale." these probably rate a 7 out of ten, sapphire rates a 9. Pretty much sand and dirt will scratch it bad. Although sapphire is more scratch resistant, it is stiffer/harder and more prone to break.
I love watching these "scratch-test," videos. They look so convincing and I'd love to have a phone where I didn't have to worry about the nightmare of Screen Protection, but I bet I'd find scratches on my Screen within days and without anything close to the sort of abuse that's shown here! :O)
After few months of use the three version has a permanent where i pass my finger to unlock it, its not dirt the screen is clean as possible, you can actually feel that . How does the newer version do on that?
I remember how I was never able to put a scratch in my Gorilla Glass 3 phones, no matter how hard I tried: HTC One Mini, Oneplus One. Now my Pixel 3 which has Gorilla Glass 5 I believe has scratches all over the place just because it's in the same pocket as my headphones. I'm pretty sure scratch resistance went down and down after Gorilla Glass 3, while break resistance went up. I hate that, since I don't drop my phones
Yeah, there has to be some give and take I’d guess. I think the original Zagg invisible shields prevented scratching a lot, but they were sort of sticky. Again, trade offs...
I agree with some of the other comments that metal shouldn't do much to this level of gorilla glass which is approaching sapphire in hardness. But its nice to see Corning's claims put to the test anyway! I've had my galaxy S8, w/ gorilla glass 5, for almost a year and the screen (never with a screen protector) is practically flawless! Except for a couple small scratches from dropping it face first onto asphalt.
you are more likely to scratch your phone in your pocket or a ladies purse or drop it on the ground before you push your phone to a bending limit or you would not buy protection for it . great video im glad none of that glass hit you in the face .
Robert Martin like if everyone is carrying sand paper in their pockets along with their phone.How about also try it against lava, that would make also sense.
I'm late to the video here, but to see the scratching you really need to have a dark background and search for the scratches using angled light. My GG3 phones had micro-scratches with minimal touching to metal. I haven't scratched GG4 yet.
Agreed with the suggestion for improved testing. However, scratches aren't caused by metals as those are softer than minerals; sand is a likely culprit.
+Tommy Thai You are probably right, but more than once I have cursed myself after putting my phone in my pocket with my keys to find the micro-scratches I'm referring too (look like spider webs sitting on the screen). But that's not to say it wasn't a coincidence.
***** Ouch. But hey, sounds like you found the solution: don't put keys with your phone. I've used devices with gg3 in the past and I don't really recall having a problem with micro-scratches. But then again, I am one to meticulously look after my device.
+Tommy Thai Ha! Yeah, I am to the point where I either carry my phone in hand or leave my keys in the car (park in the garage and have remote entry from my phone) just so it doesn't happen. It feels like catching a girlfriend cheating when one of those scratches shows up. Sadness, anger, disappointment, and like I don't want it anymore...
Should test against a metal table. The wood is going to flex beneath the plastic always giving it room for displacement which how I think it's avoiding be scratched. If it can't displace then I think it will scratch very quickly as well as probably break when you apply sharp stabbing motions. My guess is they would both fail from the first tests with a solid backplate.
well, that may have some truth, but if you think about it, in "real life" de gorilla glass would be used on a phone, that have a reasonable flex, resembling more the wood table than a metal one, I even think it will have more flex. (sorry if my redaction is weird or something, I'm not a native speaker, trying my best :D)
Thank you tech geek. I have the galaxy S6 & took my zagg glass HD off of it & was worried about taking it off. by thanks to this video I have no worries. I'm a big tech geek myself. but never got around to testing out the new GG4. I've heard & seen videos but wanted to watch this before hand. just need to take a wipe with a microfiber cloth.
It's funny the torture both take from the key and knife..Funny part about it is you take the screen protector off and 2-3 mths of it in your front pocket you'll notice scratches.
The bend test is a good show of how impact resistant the glass is. It is only cover glass, so whatever damage the LCD underneath takes is not necessarily directly related to the strength of the glass. anyway, looking forward to your drop test video Noelia!
Great video especially on the bending test. Scratch test isn't valid because metal objects won't scratch Gorilla Glass, try with a grain of salt and press it againts the glass using index finger.
You should do a test where you slide glass over a sand-covered surface. I was at work lying underneath an air conditioner and my S6 falls out of my pocket and slid across the floor about 2 feet. When I picked it up, the screen was covered in scuff marks. I didn't think it was possible for the gorilla glass to be blemished so easily...but it was.
in order to make any difference on scratch test, you need to use Sand papers! need to find what type of Gorilla Glass 4 is similar to what type of Gems Stones. Diamond Sand Papers will surely Scratch pretty much anything.
The gorilla glass 4 uses compressive strength similar to a prince ruperts drop. The inside layers are always pulling in on the outer layers. Just like a price ruperts drop if a fracture is created, the whole thing explodes in milliseconds.
WOW! It is so surprising how strong the gorilla glass 4 is!:D Great video:) It gave me more confidence to be less worried about my s6 I'll be getting;)
Good video but my suggestion would be to add steel wool and then 2 different grades of sand paper to stress test the scratch resistance even further. Unbox Therapy does this in his videos an you can see how it tore up the Apple Watch once he used the high grade sand paper. I'd like to see how well the GG4 holds up against different grades of sand paper.
Yeah, steel knife is a no no, I worked in a factory that dealt in waste glass (small shards and glass dust) that stuff destroyed many peoples screens in a short time period.
use sand paper next time, most of the scratches I get on my phone's are from small mineral fragments you would find on streets and roads and just sand and rock that gets into my pockets as I work outdoors. it's all about hardness of the object not necessarily just pressure alone. using only metals to test scratch resistance does not simulate the most common real life situations when a phone is dropped on the ground it's the small rocks which scratch and compromise the glass strength causing it to eventually break.
the screens should resist scratches with hardness of 7 (sandpaper,asphalt or concrete) and in addition the prince Rupert's drop method for making glass it could give a better insight in the limits of the glass you are testing.
an additional test you could do to this is a side impact - most phones break their screens when the phone is dropped on its side - so the side is the weakest point. looking at the inflexibility of GG3, and the flexibility of GG4, that weakness might have actually been overcome - please test! ^_^
flexibility is important when you accidentally drop your phone. if you watch slo mo videos, your phone shows flex, waves and ripples as it hits the ground
You're finger placement on the Gorilla Glass 3 vs gorilla glass 4 is off. Also the scratching duration was alot long for 3 for all tests. You are trying to hard. Not accurate
Who else was closing his eyes when he tried to crash glasses? :D
Yeah, my butt hole was clenching really bad.
same
same :D :D
meee 😬
Marcin Romanowski LOL ,yeap me
For scratches, it is extremely difficult for metal to scratch any type of glass. The real test would be an abrasive such as sand or sandpaper.
How about diamond.
zdw306 because not everyone have diamonds in their pockets😒
Mohammed Alsultan that's very true, but most adults own at least a diamond ring which could be used to scratch test the gorilla glass.
zdw306 the chances of someone having sand in their pockets from let's say the beach is far more likely than someone scratching it with a diamond.
xjinit Yes very true mate, but may I remind you that I only meant it as a scratch test to see just how scratch resistant Gorilla glass is.

But the bend test suggests much greater durability against fractures for the G4.

gorrila glass 3 be like- i give up i cant take the pressure
gorrila glass 4- lets make this fool think that im indestructible and then explode in his hand!
im not understand?
lol 😂😂😂
Lmao XD
Anyone else get really nervous and back away from the screen at 6:04
I think everyone did haha
Hahahaha ! yes , I reduced volume at that point :D

Nope
Yea especially with the G4
the anticipation during the gg4 bend test...

Was about to mention that. The ip6 is made with reinforced gg3
+Christopher Dowd Thought it was just ion strengthened glass?
+llennoco22 it is but ion strengthened gg3
yes it is
The camera lens is covered in saphire glass more likely but the phone itself isnt. But show me proof that it is
I'm going to have to agree, sand, salt or tiny abrasives would be a far greater threat to the glass than metal objects.
It's simple, It's direct. It's perfect
Great video.
gorilla glass has more hardness than a knife or a key so it'll never get scratched. flexibility test was great.
Add some dust from your pocket and BAM scratched screen. Because usually dust will have some particule that are harder then glass. That's where it gets scratched. Not keys.
ya, sand contains quartz which has hardness level of 9. so gorilla glass doesn't stand a chance.
The GG 4 bend test was so suspenseful it made me jump! Great video!
Omfg the anticipation of the bend test. I flinched so hard lol

As far as I know you can't scratch glass with metal. Just doesn't work that way since metal is too soft.
The enemy of glass is sand.
I legit flinched when the GG4 broke after the flexibility test
Impressive demo! Sure beats my S3!
Which one we should buy ?
People still using keys and knives on Gorilla Glass? Everyone knows that it won't scratch. These tests are getting old.
Bring out the sand paper.
Robert Martin like if everyone is carrying sand paper in their pockets along with their phone.How about also try it against lava, that would make also sense.
Thor Idus ... your idiocy astounding. You may not have sandpaper in your pocket, but you can easily have sand particles in it.
Yup..use stone too..
Dumbass
Very good resistance for the CGG 4
I could be wrong but the I'm pretty sure the iPhone does not have a sapphire display. Just the camera lens like the one m9.
That startled me. I wasn't expecting it to shatter like that. xD

Hi which glass is better gorilla glass screen protector or a tempered glass screen protector thanks
Holy shit that's some durable glass right there o.o
I am impressed.
Does this glass take the high definition out of your phone? And does it feel the same as the phone screen? thanks
Great video especially on the bending test. Scratch test isn't valid because metal objects won't scratch Gorilla Glass, try with a grain of salt and press it againts the glass using index finger.
Wooh nice review man!
Iphone does NOT have a Sapphire screen. Apple uses Ion-X similar to GG3

nice test thanks, I was wondering if I would need a protective glass on my device.
Are they of the same thickness? Did you caliper it?
I hope you don't walk in your bare feet anywhere near that area. lol
My A9 Pro was protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4 at front and back panel 😀
Great ! So I really don't need to buy any screen film protection for my galaxy A5 2016 (Gorilla glass 4) right ?
iPhone not using Sapphire Glass. >:(Shame the hardest material you scratched them with was steel. Try some sand.
JayRay00 sapphire is so hard it's got no give and is fairly brittle. Any impact with shatter it
in order to make any difference on scratch test, you need to use Sand papers!

It is said that Gorilla Glass 4 has 80% chance to stand from 1 meter fall.
And I got the 20%.

use sand paper next time, most of the scratches I get on my phone's are from small mineral fragments you would find on streets and roads and just sand and rock that gets into my pockets as I work outdoors. it's all about hardness of the object not necessarily just pressure alone. using only metals to test scratch resistance does not simulate the most common real life situations when a phone is dropped on the ground it's the small rocks which scratch and compromise the glass strength causing it to eventually break.
In the description he said "Hey techies" i thought he's mentioning a hero in dota 2 named Techies. xD
With your Galaxy S5, try throwing it as far as you can into the air, or maybe drop it off a 2+ story building :D
the Cat S60 has Gorilla Glass 4, and thermal imaging
Very Helpful video.Great.keep it up.
not watched a video like that good in a wile best video on youtube :)
the first kiss wita the wall hurt the most
Amazing video man
the screens should resist scratches with hardness of 7 (sandpaper,asphalt or concrete) and in addition the prince Rupert's drop method for making glass it could give a better insight in the limits of the glass you are testing.
WOW THIS IS THE BEST GORILLA GLASS VIDEO IVE SEEN!
@techbreak where did you buy the gorilla glass? for galaxy s5 im trying to replace my shattered one
Weirdly satisfying.... when played at 0.25 speed.
5:15 and 6:07
6:07 heart attack

There's so much more testing you could do. This comparison didn't even... scratch the surface!
an additional test you could do to this is a side impact - most phones break their screens when the phone is dropped on its side - so the side is the weakest point.
looking at the inflexibility of GG3, and the flexibility of GG4, that weakness might have actually been overcome - please test! ^_^
In what situation you are going to bend your gorilla glass while it's on your phone?
flexibility is important when you accidentally drop your phone. if you watch slo mo videos, your phone shows flex, waves and ripples as it hits the ground
What space age phone do you have?
Who else felt a nice cold tingling sensation when he started scratching the phones.
Thanks! This is realy a good comparison
Good Job! This is a great video!
You're finger placement on the Gorilla Glass 3 vs gorilla glass 4 is off. Also the scratching duration was alot long for 3 for all tests. You are trying to hard. Not accurate
Fully agree
Shut up you're wrong.
A Christian Name Holy Grail commenting that i am a idiot? Sir you are a fuck up. And Mohammad stop trolling.
Hi, can you PROVIDE us a LINK were can we ORDER to BUY a Corning Gorilla Glass 4 for MY GALAXY S5?
PLEASE, please PLEASE! ?.
One does not simply scratch ANY glass with a knife or any key for that matter..
just imagine someones bag having keys, knife and a phone at the same time. Probably a serial killer.
