Hello Everyone.
I saw a a video proving that galaxy s has a gorilla glass but that was the internation version not the vibrant!
Is there any official news that T-mobile vibrant has the same glass?
Because a lot of people assume vibrant does beacause it looks similar in design. Similar doesnt mean anything! Euro galaxy has a front cam while vibrant doesnt.
Can anyone confirm that vibrant has the gorilla glass or doesnt?
Because I applied a t-mobile screen protector and its very poor quality makes the screen look very grainy!
Thanx to all!
If you go to the corning website it states that the galaxy s has gorilla glass.

How about this. Take a key and scrape the hell out of your screen and then see if it does any damage. Then you'lll know
It does... and you really needed multiple threads?

You can go to http://engadget.com and search for Gorilla Glass and it will bring up the story that they did last Tuesday on the VIBRANT.

the big ass scratch right down the middle of my screen begs to differ, put it in my backpack when went to the beach, took it out later, and bam, huge ass scratch. good thing i have gorilla glass huh? fail
oh nevermind, post above me says tmob doesn't have gorilla glass. no wonder. was gonna say, this glass is pretty ****ty imo
I don't think the vibrant is gorilla glass, because I have several small scratches on my screen from only having it and my wallet in the same pocket.

i think it has chimpanzee glass, not too sure though
It's not gorilla glass.....mine is scratched already and it was from the metal clip on my belt...
wow. so many people complaining about scratches. i though i was the only one.
this is the FIRST phone (out of Nexus, MyTouch, iPhone, and few others) that has a deep scratch on the screen, and in LESS then a month, and with bodyglove ON
Yes i think you said it....it's one thing to get small lights scratches......but this is indeed a very deep scratch and you can see it no matter what you are doing with the phone...
I guess once again we got ripped off and this time its Gorilla Glass......
oh well, I am getting my replacement Vibrant tommorow and already have Steinheil anti fingerprint screen protector.
this is my question...

Controversial as to whether the Note has Gorilla Glass, but I found this:

The answer is *NO*.
http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/full-products-list
Galaxy Note and Galaxy Nexus does not have Gorilla Glass. Full list above.
DISCLAIMER: Next statement is not my own research, just copied from another post.
Gorilla Glass was trademarked in 2008 for Corning's alkali aluminosilicate glass, their patent for such glass ran out some 20 years ago, anyone can make as much alkali aluminosilicate glass as they want without having to pay Corning for a name, Apple uses alkali aluminosilicate glass in the iPhone not Gorilla Glass. Using a non-name version isn't what makes them fail drop tests, since alkali aluminosilicate glass isn't shatterproof by whatever you call it but due to the design of the phone itself, alkali aluminosilicate glass is just more scratch resistant and a bit more bendable.
Also note that Corning has collaboration with Samsung for manufacturing of glass:

Right. But question remains why would Samsung not mention it if it's there? Samsung mentioned previously when they used Gorilla glass in their devices.
I'm really curious if the GNote has Gorilla Glass, I wanted it to be my first device that I didn't have to apply a screen protector to! Strange how there's no official word from Samsung to confirm whether GGlass is included or not.
So, regardless of gorilla glass, is anyone using a screen protector?

Good advice I'll probably invest in a screen protector anyway then. However I for one would have been satisfied if samsung officially confirmed it's gorilla glass instead of third party sources. Right now I still don't know who to believe.

I ve just mailed corning asking the same question. Will update once I get a reply !
When the note was first announced on sep 1st, the official samsung page listed it as having gorilla glass. I see now that it has gone from their page.
Quite dissapointed, I did buy it believing that it had it, seeing as I was all over this thing from the moment it was announced. Gorilla glass was one of the first specs I sought to confirm

Personally I dislike screen protectors. One thing that's really good about the Note screen is how it just does not pick up finger marks. It's amazingly resistant to prints. Better than any device I've used in the past. Maybe if you text after munching through a KFC family bucket it might show something... I doubt if a screen protector would have as a good a resistance. My preference is to just use the official flip cover.

Eagerly awaiting for an official statement or reply to you, stating whether that the Note does indeed haven't got a Gorilla or equivalently strong enough front glass.
NO
I have the streak (for sale) and the S.G.Note,
only the streak has the real Corning gorilla glass, the difference is evident:
you can knock your fingernail against the glass: TOC TOC vs TAC TAC (no tic-tic but neither toc-toc as real and powerfull gorilla glass )
So I've had my phone for a few days now, haven't received my case/screen protector yet..
I've noticed got 2 little scratches, isn't this gorilla glass?? I thought it was meant to be hard to scratch!

yes we all know that.. because Corning seems didnt update it (not sure) because the last device mentioned is the S2 and there are many new devices from Samsung and many others (has Gorilla) but not mentioned/updated..
you see, I am not trying to argue you guys... but really the fact Samsung never mentioned its Gorilla on the Note official Samsung page (neither they ever mentioned even for the S2) our only source of info is always Corning website and they didn't add many devices to the list since long already in the Market with Gorilla. such as the new Samsung 8.9 or the 7+ samething with other brands if i recall.

sorry if you interpreted my response as an insult, it wasnt meant like that.
but basically, from my experience with cars and computer parts... who cares what branding it has? who cares if its branded as gorilla glass or branded as hardened glass? if its still tough enough to be scratch resistant and still does the job, then does it really matter whether its branded or not?
my galaxy note screen has no scratches on it. i kept it in the same pocket as my keys as well until i got my flip cover a week ago. still no scratches. this was before my screen protectors arrived.
The scratches are tiny but clearly visible. Considering I haven't haven't abused it all and my old inspire 4g had no scratches and was abused I think this glass isn't as good and isn't gorilla at all.

GG is scratch RESISTANT. Not scratch PROOF. Stop getting your panties in a bunch. It got scratched because it came into contact with something hard enough to scratch it. Who's fault it that? Oh, yours. It's nice to have GG right? Right, but regardless of that fact even GG can be scratched. SO get your screen protectors if a little scratch is going to bother you.

There is a fundamental difference between 'scratch proof' and 'scratch immune'
As posted by few others
1. Gorilla Glass can get scratches
2. Corning's patent ran out on gorilla glass quite some time ago and just about anyone capable of making one can make one
3. Corning and Samsung has a joint venture together that specializes this under scp.samsung.com and may not be using "Gorilla Glass" label

Corning does not update their list of devices and if you contact a rep they will say the same.

Do not try to be arrogant. There have been dozens of these threads and the consensus reached is that the Note has Gorilla Glass.

i'm almost sure the 7.7 features gorilla, simply because the corning site always took it's time to update on new products. and i can't imagine that samsung wont use this feature on it's otherwise VERY sophisticated and well built 7.7...
example:
it took corning MONTHS to state they use gorilla on the galaxy note,
and in the note forums had been quite similar discussions than this one!

Well, Gorilla Glass isn't nuke proof or anything. It's going to break, scratch, and shatter like any other glass. It just has a higher threshold. I think sometimes people think that since their device has Gorilla Glass then they can be a bit more carefree with it, and then are disappointed that *whoops*, smash!

Heck, with as many separate manufacturing facilities (I think the 7.7 is made in at least two countries) and overlapping product lines as Samsung has, they might not even be sure themselves which device has Gorilla Glass
I think it has gorilla glass, because of it's blueish reflection...
just like on the GSII.
But, hey, maybe I'm crazy

I also think this baby has the CGG protection
I accidentally dropped a padlock on the screen when the tab is lying down on the floor while I was fiddling with my locker padlock
The padlock's corner hits the screen near the earpiece, I'm using a screen guard and the impact bores through it! I immediately checked for damage, thank God theres none!

Just saying.
I had my hands full with shopping and a screaming baby a month or two ago. I put the tab down on the boot ledge of my car and once I'd finished putting away the shopping, forgetting where I'd put my tab, I closed the lid. It didn't close but I remembered tab, in a moment of horror, a split second before I gave it a slam.
The glass edge had been popped out a couple of mil and amazingly there was no damage. All was fine after pressing it back in.
I don't know if it was the glass or hard plastic of the anymode cover but regardless, the glass itself must be pretty tough.

The email mentioned OLED - the only Galaxy Tab with an OLED screen, at least as far as I know, is our 7.7

Dunno what it is... but it's STRONG
My friend's dog attacked it , dropped it about 1m (3ft) onto concrete glass-down...and there was no damage to the screen or the internals (edges of the side/back plastic had slightly scuffed paint though).
I've dropped it on tile floors from about the same height or higher (I'm 189cm/6'2" and somewhat nearsighted) while standing up... still works.
I've dropped an E-cig (heavy bugger, and made of metal to boot) directly onto the screen, many times... not a scratch.
Whatever glass it is, it's even more durable than Sammy's Galaxy S1 (aka AT&T Samsung Captivate's) screen, which does show a grand total of 1 tiny scratch (only visible on black, several pixels long). Still no scratches despite my clumsy and at-times drunken lifestyle :good:

FFS, Gorilla Glass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof!
It really is a simple equation - if your screen comes into contact with an object that is harder than the surface of the glass, it will likely end up scratched (depending on the force and the direction it is applied in of course).
Gorilla Glass is not a panacea and should not be treated as such. However, it will protect your screen from scratches far better than it would if not equipped with Gorilla Glass.

Dave

If you are obsessive about your screen getting scratched then you should use a film to protect it, the glass on the note 2 looks to be song enough but I'm sure scratches are quite possible.

Guys guys guys.... IT DOESN'T HAVE GORILLA GLASS (Thats what Samsung says) I know Gorilla Glass is scratch resistant not scratch proof. But Note 2 doesn't have it. Do u know why Samsung did somethig like this ?

It does. The person at Samsung who said it didn't probably doesn't even know what gorilla glass is.
It has GG2, GG is more scratch resistant than normal glass of the same thickness but will still sratch - it is not scratch proof.
The fact that you have a scratch does not mean it isn't GG...
Gorilla glass's biggest problem is advertising...everyone thinks it makes the glass invincible for no reason. It's just stronger, and regularly glass is pretty weak, so...nowhere near invincible.
On a sidenote, how are screen protectors faring with S-pen and such? I saw a warning against using them, but will probably want one myself.

Where did Samsung say this? Every review site says it does have Gorilla Glass because those are the specs that Samsung provided to the reviewers.
It's time to put this to rest once and for all.
If you Google "Galaxy Note 2 Gorilla Glass", every site that did early reviews states that the Note 2 has Gorilla Glass. Why? Because those are the specs they got from Samsung, not just made up or speculated out of thin-air.
Secondly, THIS VIDEO that was posted on the previous page proves that the screen has Gorilla Glass. There's no possible way that you'd be able to press that hard on your screen with scissors or keys and have no scratches if Gorilla Glass was not present.
Thirdly, you're scratching a stylus on the screen all day for some people. The Note 2 will most definitely have Gorilla Glass for that reason alone, just like the Note 1 did, and almost every other modern Samsung (and touch-screen) device.
Finally, Wikipedia has a list of all devices that are known to have Gorilla Glass and the Note 2 is listed:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_devices_with_Gorilla_Glass
So, let's stop this madness and disseminating misinformation until it's officially posted on a Samsung webpage that the Note 2 does not have Gorilla Glass. Every indication proves that it does.
mine has Dinosaur Glass
There are other manufactures that make similar glass too. It's not rocket science and the idea has been around and used since the 60's. They are just replacing sodium ions with larger potassium ions, the larger ions put the glass under tension making it harder. Kind of like pretensioned concrete. It will still scratch, sand with a little pressure will scratch it easily.
Every new samsung high end phone have gorilla glass1 or 2. At samsung service works a lot of silly people. One time I asked does s3 has micro sim or normal sim card slot and he said me- normal.....
When i called up to speak to someone at HTC about a few problems with the phone i use the now, i was in contact with 3 HTC employees and not one of them knew anything about the phone HTC sensation i had to get put through to the technical department before i finally spoken to someone that knew about the phone..
The email that you say you got from Samsung was probably written by someone who works for them and has no idea about the Note 2, as everyone has said the phone does come with GG2.
Christ my HTC Sensation and the girlfriend has the HTC One X both have GG and she still managed to put scratches on both phones. as people have said its scratch resistant not proof. My cousin has managed to put loads of scratches on her S3 and that has GG2, so it can be easily done. even thought the GG is supposed to make it harder but as anyone will tell you.... every phone they have had they have always managed to put scratches on the screen in some way.
I have one more question... Is it possible to scratch the screen while cleaning with cleaning cloth ? (The same cloth that we use to clean glasses)

If there is a bit of grit between the cloth and screen then yes its possible, some forms of grit can be so small that you may not be able to see it on the cloth or screen but yes its possible
