"Gorilla glass" on Samsung Omnia 7. Still not confirmed... And probably never will...
"Gorilla glass" on Samsung Omnia 7? Still not confirmed .
Dell Streak has it.
Samsung Galaxy S has it.
Samsung Focus has it. Just tweeter confirmation from Samsung USA.
Omnia 7 - still no 100% positive source.
Thanks!
Update:
This is by far the best explanation that I got so far by Mobiletechword.
Hi Kraft,
There's obviously no official confirmation (press release etc..) but that's what a Samsung Rep told me when I asked him about it during the Oct11th launch event. You may also remember that The Gorilla Glass announcement of the Galaxy S line of phones only came (IIRC) 3 months after the product release. My guess is that Samsung can't officially say anything because the Gorilla Glass is one of the Dell Venue Pro selling features too so OEMs (and MS) decided to all have their own differentiating features to talk about and not step on each others toes. Take DLNA for example: It's available on all of HTC's new Android handsets and Samsung handsets too but is missing from the WP7 devices. That's because LG got it as "an exclusive" for WP7. Same for SRS/Dolby: It'son all Samsung's Android devices but surprisingly only on HTC's WP7 phones etc...
Now I'm definitely not going to try to "test" the Omnia 7 screen to really see if's a Gorilla glass but everything is pointing towards it. Gorilla Glasses aren't indestructible thought and can be relatively "easily" scratched like any other piece of glass (take a sample diamond ear ring or sand paper etc..) they just won't shatter in millions of piece if your device hits the ground etc.. Anyway the official list isn't even up to date: http://www.corning.com/gorillaglass/devices.aspx No Dell Venue Pro, Nokia N8 etc...
The samsung reps could have been wrong thought.. but glass on my Galaxy S is perfectly identical to the one on the Omnia 7... so who knows lol..

Sorry for asking, but what is "Gorilla Glass"? I own an Omnia 7, so how can I check?

Checked on the Website, nothing mentioned, so no idea at the moment.
Gorilla glass is a special process that toughens the Glass to help resist against scratches, shattering etc.

Dell Streak has it.
Samsung Galaxy S has it.
Samsung Focus has it. Just tweeter confirmation from Samsung USA.
Omnia 7 - still no 100% positive source.

dropped phone and it slid across my floor tiles for about 50cm.... and it got scratched.... if its got gorilla glass then its pretty weak imo.

What do you mean by scratched? How bad is it? Do you have to replace the screen?
Edit: Can you post any pictures? I' known for dropping my phones, so I'm particularly interested in this info.

I got insurance with my phone, so if it gets more scratches I might get it repaired for $50AU. What's better is if it breaks I can get a replacememnt for $250AU, but i've only had this for just over 2 weeks ><
I bought a screen protector, and as my posts in this forum has shown, multitouch gets affected when a screen prot is added. Maybe its just the screen protector? no idea, my guess was its the phone having conductivity problem when a plastic screen prot is added.

Thx.
I don't like screen protectos either. I do not buy one for my phone.

I never use any protectors, too.
This was just to clarify . So far I cant find 100% positive information.

I called Samsung Technic Support (France) two times. Each time, they confirm me the Gorilla screen for the Omnia.

waiting to see tests to see if its really gorilla glass or not

Yes,
that's fine, and in this case that's probobly true.
The only problem is that I never trust technical support and I am trying to find some more trustworthy source

I have yet to scratch my screen on either my hd2 or my hd7, neither has my wife or son on their hd2's. What kind of screen is the hd7 and why would the omnia scratch so easy? Is there a coating on it that scratches?

good morning to all
this is a beautiful forum
I have a question
is glued the glass to the screen?

i dont think its gorilla glass as i have a tiny hairline scratch on mine.

Glad i got a screen protector on it out the box it seems with some reviews popping up on the net about little marks being too easy to obtain on the samsung screen.
Don't care if people think it looks silly with one on it works...
The slogan "don't be a fool, wrap your tool" seems to have moved on to phones now.

I'd rather have scratches (as long as there tiny) then a sticker on my device.
Each to his own, I guess

I've had mine for over a week now and I have just been using it as I did with my last phone. I'm not wreckless but I dont wrap it in cotton wool either. There isn't a scratch on it yet, it still looks brand new, so I'm with 001mic I would much rather have the full touch sensitivity and feel of an exposed screen (even with a few scratches) than a sticker on the front!

I picked up a Samsung 'phone sock' for my Omnia 7 as I didn't want to go down the whole screen protector route either. Annoyingly, although the sock was marketed as being an Omnia 7 accessory, it is of course a generic 'one-size-fits-many-models' accessory, and this case, it happens that the size doesn't fit this model particularly well.
With some rather vicious and vigorous stretching, the phone just about squeezes in, though if I drop it, there's a very good chance that the top edge will take some scratches if it goes down head-first.
That said, from a screen protection point of view, it's not bad - it means that I don't have to freak out every time I almost put my keys or loose change in the wrong pocket, and offers at least *some* protection from scratches should my drunken paws lose grip on a particularly savage night out.
Also very easy to slide the phone in and out of the sock - and there's the added bonus that the screen gets some of my greasy fingerprints wiped off it each time I slide it in and out of the sock as well.
Almost an all-round win - if only it fit the phone just a bit better... Maybe I'll just use a normal sock and slap a Samsung sticker on it.

This video of the 10.1v appears to be scratch resistant
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yisgkOOWEXI

So does the Galaxy Tab 10.1 (not 10.1v) use Gorilla glass?
Are screen protectors necessary for it? I spotted a Zagg screen protector for the Tab 10.1 at Best Buy but found it overpriced at around $30.

I bought the zagg yesterday and I ripped it off last night. It really seemed to kill screen sensitivity.

When u apply those kind of skins, u gotta give it a few days to dry and stretch out. Until then its wavy and lessens the screen sensitivity a bit

Yes, it' s gorilla glasss. A few reviews mentioned it and how the screen was fine even after carrying it around it in a bag naked with keys. Just oogle and you ll find out.

I am not sure if it uses Gorilla Glass or not, but I asked the same question on the samsung site and this is what Samsung10 answered:
Does the Galaxy Tab 10.1 use gorilla glass for the screen?

I don't know if Samsung10 is the official account for Samsung but I don't think anyone else can answer questions on that site. You can see Galaxy Tab is listed but they don't specifically say the 10.1 version. So, it could mean the 10.1 does use Gorilla glass, but could also mean only the 7" version does.
My guess is that it does not because if it did for sure they probably would have advertised it and the answerer on the Samsung site would have said "Yes" instead of giving the roundabout answer they did.

That list is on Corning's site: http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/#products-with-gorilla
Although it doesn't mention which specific tab; from this clip i'd guess it's not though...

I have one of the tablets from Google I/O and unless they changed the screen, I already have a small scratch on my screen . Be careful, because I don't even think I was rough with mine.

Zagg
I wasn't sure whether it had gorilla glass so i bought the screen protector by zagg just to be safe, but it also gives the added bonus of reducing finger smudges. It was trickier than most zagg covers i have used in the past to get on. I was concerned i screwed it up with lots of air bubbles but now after sitting over night it is nearly flawless. Touch sensitivity was a little iffy last night after i applied it but seems to be fine this morning.

I haven't seen concrete evidence in regards to the Tab 10.1 having Gorilla Glass.
I contacted Samsung and they assured me that it does.
If that's the case, I'm wondering if I still need a screen protector.

If you aren't careful with devices, you might as well. You can still scratch and crack gorilla glass...it's not indestructible.

Not Gorilla Glass?

I just picked up a Nushield DayVue screen protector, mostly for fingerprints than anything else.
I noticed while polishing the tablet before installation that I've got a scratch in the glass. Thankfully it's over the black border and not the screen so it doesn't impact my use at all. If I had to guess I'd say it was caused by something being on the inside of the Acer case when I slipped it over it, and getting dragged across the screen. You know how tight that case is when you slip it over.
If this thing were Gorilla glass I don't think it ever would have happened.

It is not. that's bad.

I got a scratch on top right corner and don't know why i got it. luckily it is kinda not noticable. I post this before and got deleted somehow

strong glass
There are many different types of so called super strong glass.it really is just a selling strategy. Thou some glass is stronger then others all of it can and will be damaged.especially touch devices.
Be careful even gorillas can be injured if they decide to be careless.Just because something says its better does not mean its damage proof
The blonde geeky girl
Gorillas are cute and cuddly

gorilla glass doesn't mean scratch proof.
a guy at work was leaning over my desk yesterday and propped his hand on my iconia to reach for something on the other side of the desk... i freaked, but the iconia was unbroken.... which saved the other guy full msrp!

True, but you'd think that getting a scratch on the glass while it's in the case and UNDER where the case covers would be pretty darn difficult...
I've seen videos of people dragging keys across Gorilla Glass and not causing damage, and I guarantee nothing near that kind of abuse happened to my A500. It apparently scratched as easy as a cheap window.
With that in mind, I'm double glad I got my screen protector. And I know people have called Acer and been told it is NOT Gorilla Glass despite the posting on Corning's website so there seems to be much confusion of the makeup of our screens.

A little off topic, but I would take anything Acer support says with a big grain of salt. I was told that the A500 does not have a GPS receiver and it was impossible to transfer files via USB with a Mac.
No scratches on my A500.

Actually, if you get a bit of sand stuck between a case and any glass, that is the most likely to scratch as is has a reasonable amount of pressure, the case still will let the tablet wiggle, and it can be there for a while.

agree, is very strong, but is NOT un-scratchable (I dont know is this last word is an english word XD)

small pieces of silica such as you'll find in pocket lint will scratch gorilla glass. Also, as you carry the tablet outdoors fine pieces of silica dust may adhere to finger print oils on the screen and scratch it the next time you rub your finger across the screen. If you want your screen to stay pristine, get a protector or clean it gently, regularly

Galaxy S phone has Gorilla glass and mine is scratched... so Gorilla glass or not, it will get scratched without protection.

Trust me...I got scratches on my tab Though I have no clue what happened

Actually, the true test to see if it's Gorilla glass or not is to take your A500 and bash it over your head. Let us know the results...

Hi,
http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/samsung
I think it's enough official...

The gorilla glass is scratch resistance and not scratch proof like what most ppl think it is.

too late to have such a pathetic doubt.

Gorilla glass... It's just a brand. They make advertising's while other glass manufacturers don't. That has nothing to do with quality. My Desire HD (soon to be retired) doesn't have gorilla glass and only minimal scratches after 2years of usage. It gives you a false security when you have it.

Thats really funny.

Actually it does state it in the official website
http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxys3/superamoled.html ...

On the other side of things, the Gorilla Glass on the S3 is a joke...Mine has with many scratches already and as others have posted, I have the Desire HD and Galaxy Nexus both have been going strong with barely any scratch at all since their release dates when I bought them.
I will just wait till it get really bad then replace the glass probably.

I won't bother about replacing the glass, it means replacing the whole screen, at least USD 200.

Yeah, looking at the reflectance measurements at displaymate, while they were good, they weren't the super-mega-amazing results that GG4 should of brought. However, I don't doubt whatsoever that it has anything less than GG3, especially since the S4 has it, and the Note 3 is better than the S4 in every way(not to mention it has the best display out of any phone ever).

These are press releases before the anouncement of the device, but that is all i have for now mate!

VZW says Note 3 has GG3
It's been bugging me that no mention is made of Gorilla Glass on Samsung or Corning. No carriers mention it but in the Verizon detailed specs they say Gorilla Glass 3.
I wonder if VZ is perhaps wrong as once upon a time I had read that Samsung was using a GG clone of some sort.

Bolding is my doing.
The mystery continues.

Corning Gorilla Glass 4 has an anti-reflection coating and an anti-fingerprint/grease coating.
Thus, the Note 3 has CGG3. Because I can count the individual reflected birds is the sky on the glass, once I clear off the fingerprints.
We know it has 3, because the S4 has CGG3, too. Samsung already told us we have the S4's screen.

there was nothing official. everything is just inferred conclusion like:
1. S4 has GG3. Note3 is higher/better than S4. So it has the better, or at least same screen.
2. Samsung has stake or ownership in Corning. So its assumed they would have put at least Gorilla Glass on it.
corning site doesn't mention it (seen that news below was updated nov 4 2013)

Side note. I had to replace my day one Note 3 with a new just days ago and had the new one laying right next to the old one. With polarized sunglasses on the new one was darker when looking straight on and would then lighten to match the old one if I tilted my head. Normal with polarized glass. Its weird that it seems there was a change.

I don't think you can assume the Note 3 has GG3 - simply because Samsung has been known to use parts from various suppliers according to their needs at the time. Also, if it was GG3, I'm sure Samsung Marketing would be touting that fact hard to sell these phones.

I do know that the Canadian model of the Note 3 has Gorilla Glass, but I do not know what version it is, and I don't know if the other models of the Note 3 have it.
EDIT: Before someone asks for proof, I talked to the product manager in the Canadian facility. Just call your nearest Samsung facility and pester for a product manager or someone who deals with the products.

Judging by the scratchproofness (i declare that a word.) it seems logical. Normal glass does not handle keys, idiots and catclaws as well as this.
It's not GG4, because that is glare-free. The S4 has GG3, makes sense this one does too.

GG is not totally scratch proof... There are certain things that will scratch it like sand. It is generally going to be pretty tough to scratch though... It is also NOT shatterproof...
Personally I use a hardened glass screen protector.
I gave my old S3 to my brother with a hardened glass screen protector, he recently dropped it out of his pocket face flat onto concrete and the glass shattered but the screen underneath was fine... Good idea to use....
GG is a good thing to have but it can be broken....
