EDIT: I stand corrected. It doesnt appear to be the "gorilla glass". Its more like a tempered glass. Sorry for the misleading title.
Video above:
Reviewer did multiple scratch tests on the phone:
1) sharp metal objects inside a ziplock bag
2) use of a sharp nail
3) sharp screw
Hardly any scratch on the screen itself. Only when a box cutter was introduced did it enable a scratch to appear.
Also did a drop test: 3 hip level drop and 1 head level drop. Only after the 4th drop did the screen crack. However, the phone still seemed to work.
I don't understand Korean, but the box cutters look like they scratched the screen.
Strange test that show galaxy not scratch proof.
You tube vdo does not show fine scratches all over the phone that normally bothers everyday users.

Isn't gorilla glass just a marketing term for a plastic-glass composite made by corning. It's "gorilla" since it's more scratch resistant than polycarbonate just like any other glass-plastic composite/laminate would be. I'm sure the glass on the Galaxy S is virtually identical to that of the latest Iphone.
Gorilla Glass is a brand name I think?

Corning is a brand, Gorilla Glass is a product name.
Gorilla Glass is a name for toughened alluminosillicate glass. It is specifically distributed by Corning and telling people that you got a Lamborghini when you really got a ferrari is lying, even though they are both good. Tempered glass != gorilla, and it isn't certain that the newest iPhone has gorilla. They just say so b/c it's scratch resistant.
well, i had the galaxy s in my trouser pocket for one day.
there where no other things (keys etc.) in the pocket, only the phone.
in the evening i noticed a scratch on the display (not large, but visible on a bright background).
thankfully i was able to replace the phone with a new one, now i carry it in a bag all the time and i put a screen protector on the display.
Rough pockets eh? Screens just don't scratch themselves. You did something.

yeah, for sure
all i know is, when i have a new device i handle them with uttermost care.
as there was no bag with the galaxy i had to carry it one day without using one.
but i guess you are right and i should have known, that the cotton that pocket trousers are made of is known for its screen cutting and scratching properties.
of course, it could have been my fingernails. who knows?
This has been confirmed by dozens of XDA members who have gone above and beyond to confirm that it is indeed Gorilla Glass in the Note.
Ever since the release date, the feud over Gorilla Glass began and it ended a week later. Dozens of members contacted Corning and they said that many devices with gorilla glass are not shown in their list.
®That was for all you going "CORNING SAYZ DA NOTE HAZ NO GORILLA GLAZS"
I have read numerous threads where users have contacted Samsung and have reached the conclusion that it is indeed gorilla glass in our notes. On pretty much all the tech sites, they all list the Note as having Gorilla Glass.
Gorilla glass is Scratch-"resistant" not Scratch "proof" and even if it was Scratch proof, it would not be impervious to everything.
Gorilla Glass isn't magic, it is Glass and like any other Glass, sand can scratch it because Glass is just super heated sand.
Now, to those saying "GORILLA GLAZS IS DESIGNED TO B3 scrATCH PROOF"
Gorilla glass was created in the hopes of reducing shock from falls, to preserve the glass, while also giving adequate scratch resistance.
Hopefully, this will encourage people to spend the $20 on a decent screen protector to protect the $260 screen+ digitizer on their Note.

Right! let me enlighten you a little, gorilla glass was never designed to reduce shock from fall, hence if u drop you phone sideways it will crack
gorilla glass isn't made just from sand like other glass, it has aluminium oxide in it (you know.. the stuff sapphires and rubies are made of)

Please stop it with the Gorillas will ya. All this Gorilla talk is making me loopy.
Jesus, therz some stubbornly persistent ppl.
Corning had a patent for making GORILLA GLASS. It doesn't anymore. Once the patent expires, big companies usually start manufacturing their own version of the ex-patented product. it's cheaper and most of the times better, cuz it fits their exact needs. Moreover, sammy and corning play together for quite a while now.
So, NO, the Note doesn't have GORILLA glass but it does have a glass that is the same or better.
chrz and let's hope for no more threads on that sbj. starts to feel like a teen-problem forum here
Maybe the mods can create a new sub-forum dedicated to debating the glass used in the Note. That way we can talk about glass all day long without the clutter of less important topics related to using the phone.

I dropped it on the concrete floor 5 times now, once from a height of 1,5 m - no damage what so ever. Thank-you Samsung for choosing Gorilla Glass.
I dropped mine ~4ft onto concrete when getting out of my truck and it's practically undamaged. The plastic edge around the screen is scuffed on two corners (which I'll buff out at some point) but the screen is spotless, despite having landed face down. I've enjoyed over 2 months now of a slim, sexy, clear, case-free and screen protector-free phone.

After all the stories of scratched screens, I went ahead and got an SGP oleophobic screen protector for mine. While scratch protection may not be completely necessary, I will say that smudges are significantly reduced relative to my Galaxy Tab 10.1 with no SP. I'm actually sold on them after using this one.
It's up to you to decide whether you want a screen protector or not, but there were too many people with misconceptions over at the discussion thread. Please discuss Protector vs No protector over there.
Here are a couple of misconceptions about Gorilla Glass and it's scratch resistance (source links below).
------------------------------------------------------------
Misconception 1: Gorilla Glass does not scratch???!?!?!?!?!?
Absolutely FALSE. While it's true that Gorilla Glass is scratch resistant to many materials, some will scratch Gorilla Glass. Gorilla Glass is reported to have a hardness of 7 (some say it is as high as 9. I've reached out to Corning for their "official" value, since they only use Vickers to measure hardness) in the Mohs scale, so any material with higher hardness, such as sand, diamond, or other minerals , will scratch your screen.
So, if you drop your phone, and if it happens to land on a grain of sand, it will scratch your Gorilla Glass screen. Or, if a grain a sand goes into your pocket where you keep your phone, then the screen may be scratched.
To those who didn't learn hardness scale in elementary school: materials with lower hardness than 7, such as steel knife, coins, or car keys, will never be able to scratch Gorilla Glass no matter how POINTY and SHARP it is. You can shatter the glass using a steel knife with enough force, but you cannot scratch it.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Misconception 2: The oleophobic coating, not the glass itself, is what's causing the scratches, so use sand paper to grind the coating away!!!!!!!!!
DON'T!. According to Corning's own documents (link below), the anti-brasion/oleophobic coating on the Gorilla Glass actually provides better scratch resistance than "naked" glass surface.
Corning performed an experiment where half of the Gorilla glass was treated with the coating and the other half was naked Gorilla Glass, and they rubbed silicon carbide sand paper on it. You can see the resulting picture on the link below. To use their words, there was a "significant scratching on the non-coated region whereas few visible scratches existed on the coating".
If you already have scratches on your Gorilla Glass screen, then it would've been worse had the coating not been there.
-------------------------------------------------------------
I hope that clears up.

Gorilla glass was originally developed to be shatter resistant. It's debatable if it offers more scratch resistance than regular glass, and it may actually be slightly less scratch resistant than regular glass. In most case (not all) higher shatter resistance = less scratch resistance (IE, plastic). I've been telling people for awhile that if you have a glass screen, a good screen protector is a good way to get peace of mind.
To those who didn't learn hardness scale in elementary school, materials with lower hardness than 7, such as steel knife, coins, or car keys, will never be able to scratch Gorilla Glass no matter how POINTY and SHARP it is.

Force can lead to shattering, but you won't scratch it. Ask yourself this, how many scratches are on your car's windshield? How about the windows of your house? Take your car keys or even a steak knife and run the edge along your house or car windows. Any scratches?
Yes, if you take it and stab glass with all of your strength, you have the potential of shattering it. You can do the same by throwing a rock. But that's not the same as scratching.

Exactly. There is a difference between fracturing and scratching.
That is why phones like s3 with gorilla glass still shatter when dropped.

Or at least mention that sand mainly contains quartz which is 7 (gorilla glass is 9 and cant logically be 7, because else we would use normal glass which is mainly quarz + additives and it's a bit under 7), and sand in general has 7 to 10 depending on composition.

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.

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.

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
Hello. I have managed to scratch my precious S4 screen just after using the phone for a week. Yeah I do have a mild case of OCD (at least what I think is mild ) considering that I do use a pouch for it I wonder what is the point with all those videos showing off the impressive Gorilla glass x. Of course the second I noticed it I applied a screen protector. So much for Gorilla glass..
If you want a pouch....buy a kangaroo.
As everyone will tell you Gorilla is scratch RESISTANT NOT SCRATCH PROOF.
The ads that demo how tough Gorilla glass is show them using coins,keys and knives on the screen mainly. These are "softer" than the layer on the glass so it doesn't scratch.
Sand however is very "hard" so it can easily scratch Gorilla glass. If you got sand in the pouch and it rubbed on the screen it will definitely scratch it.
It's actually a very good product and is more resistant than other glass but it isn't indestructible and the manufacturers don't claim it to be.
Sand is a screens worst enemy.
P.S Why did you post this in Q+A?

Had my S4 for over 6 months with just the case in the picture. I check my screen every now and then for scratches and marks. I literally can't see a THING on that screen and it's very impressive. I'm pretty careful with my phones but my last phone, HTC Mozart, had a much softer screen. Seriously, you might be used to it now but old displays were a LOT more sensitive than these new screens...
Dropped mine with no cover on concrete twice. Landed screen down both times, no scratches, no issues at all. What did you do to the screen? As said above it's scratch RESISTANT. Sand and other abrasive substances will scratch it. Sand has eroded land masses over time when you think about it.
I always have to ask this as there are a LOT of clones about, is your device a real s4?
