Samsung was unhappy with the original Gorilla Glass Victus, but now history is about to repeat itself, with the Galaxy S22 series being the first to introduce the improved Victus+. , will be the first model to feature the new Gorilla Glass Victus 2.
Version 2 focuses on surviving drops, including drops up to 1m (waist height) or up to 2m (head height) on very rough surfaces like concrete. However, this improved drop resistance didn’t come at the expense of scratch resistance.
GG Victus 2 has an average of 22% “pre-consumer” recycled content, so it tends to be environmentalist. This has earned us the Environmental Claim Validation mark.
The press release kept the details of the phone vague and didn’t explicitly mention “S23.” But given the timing (Galaxy Unpacked for the S23 series is scheduled for Wednesday), there’s no doubt about it.
Perhaps Victus 2 will be used to protect both the front and back of the phone, just like Victus+ protects both sides of all S22 phones. One Stephanie Choi said of the new glass:
“We are committed to working with like-minded partners such as Corning to integrate sustainability throughout the product lifecycle to improve performance while reducing our environmental impact. Our next-generation Galaxy flagship smartphone is the first device to use Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2, improving durability and sustainability at the same time.”
And a word from Gorilla Glass Vice President and General Manager David Velasquez:
“Today’s consumers expect damage-resistant smartphone displays. For over a decade, Gorilla Glass has met the needs of smartphone users and set the standard for rugged cover materials. We are proud to continue our partnership and to see our latest innovations play a key role in Samsung’s latest Galaxy smartphones.”
