Corning Gorilla Glass 7i has been announced by the brand as its latest mobile device glass for midrange and affordable smartphones to provide producers with a dependable yet cost-effective option. The glass is reported by the brand to survive drops from up to 3.3-feet in height onto rough surfaces like asphalt. This is positioned as being twice what's possible with comparable glass alternatives, while also being two-times more scratch resistant.
Corning Gorilla Glass 7i comes as part of the brand's foray into intermediate markets to provide customers with something that's budget-conscious but also up to working with the latest technologies. This includes working with displays like 10-bit and 12-bit OLEDs to maximize the visual experience for the end user.
