Julliard, 29 Jul 2016We do have Vitrum Flexile glass but that invention is lost ... moreMotorola's is not glass, its PLASTIC

    AnonD-528998, 22 Jul 2016this is bull f sheet. I heard about this unbreakable glass ... moreWe do have Vitrum Flexile glass but that invention is lost forever. It is the world one and only unbreakable glass. The closest we have is Motorola shatterproof glass.

      Anonymous, 21 Jul 2016Not interested. Better be bulletproof.Bulletproof glass is too thick. It still can crack. It is basically two pieces of glass sandwiched together with thick gel in the middle(the one that actually stops the bullet). This for a phone; touchscreen will not function.

                      My Samsung Galaxy S6Edge display got scratched just by keeping the phomne in the pocket. Hairline scratches. Google it. Samsung claims 20% of S6Edge have that issue due to less coating of some kind of a chemical. Sad that GSMArena has not mentioned this in their review.

                          some other company should just release a vibranium and adamantium enforced smartphones and be done with it instead of this yearly updates of the horrendous company name Corning with an equally idiotic brand as Gorilla Glass

                                Instead of making the glass stronger they should look at it's durability to scratches. I'm not saying that gorilla glass 4 isn't strong, it is. But not as strong as they claim. Under circumstances it gets scratched pretty easily.

                                  as i've seen too many smarphones with cracked gorilla glass screen.

                                  it would be great if it is not just another marketing hype...
