It's easy to spot these days Corning's Gorilla Glass as it sits on top of most smartphone and tablet display panels, and as it also appears to be sturdy. The less used Dragon trail Glass by Asahi also boasts impressive toughness. Samsung will soon join these two for a similar offering. Samsung has filed for a trademark for Turtle Glass with the authority of South Korea.
GSM Arena said Samsung's application for the trademark asserts that it will be used for a protective tempered glass designed for tablets, music players, phones, cameras, and so on.
Samsung Company is one of the biggest customers of Corning so far, so if it's true that Samsung is going to start using Corning's solution in the future, it will be interesting to know what position the maker of Gorilla Glass will be.
While the Korean company has a plan to use Turtle Glass on the Galaxy S7, it may be possible also that this type of glass will also be utilized in the production of the foldable smartphone that Samsung has patented recently.
Corning's latest and most protective glass touch screen cover to date is Gorilla Glass 4. Unlike many new products that are being developed today, Gorilla Glass 4 is available right now in the market, provided you pick the Samsung Galaxy Alpha which will come out to be the first smartphone to use the new material. The decision of Samsung to use Gorilla Glass 4 enabled the company to make the Galaxy Alpha its slimmest phone yet.
Digital Trends reported that Samsung wants to work closely with Corning on the Galaxy Alpha, so a phone with "a sophisticated look'' can be produced without sacrificing functionality.
The Korean company works closely with Corning on the Galaxy Alpha to create a phone with a sophisticated look. Galaxy Alpha seemed to be the first to use Gorilla Glass 4. Samsung, however, expects more to happen in the first quarter of 2016, potentially starting in early January.
