Forward thinking...., 04 Feb 2012This is because Samsung are developers at the cutting edge ... moreAgreed! If Samsung wouldn't have done this major changes to the smartphone world Nokia will still Be the dominant with their ancient specs and laggy OS symbian! I Am really greatfull to Samsung for bringing all new good innovations first.samsung deserves to be the no.1 in the news anyaway I will never touch a nokia product in my entire life!

          lol, 03 Feb 2012can someoen explain why we're still using glass instead of ... moreGorilla glass It's not real glass... more like synthetic glass... It is realy hard to make scractch resistan plastic surface - softer - wont' crack and harder - scratsch resistant but less resistant to crack on hard impact... Gorilla glass is no 1 at this moment... just take a look at iphone "glass" just one drop is enough to crack the whole phone... "apple" tick glass - Personaly I think Iphone uses gorilla glas, but they paid for silence, so they can claim their own tehcnology, just like they lied about hardware and display... 90% korean technology... Samsung & LG...

            [deleted post]This is because Samsung are developers at the cutting edge of many industries.

            You may not like them, but they are making a global impact and difference to our lives.

            The Koreans are both good designers, engineers and in-house manufactures with a balance of good quality to price ratio.

            Without guys like these, you'd still be stuck in the 80's my friend.

            Ultimately, they are popular because they are giving people quality they want at ALL price levels. That is a thumbs up from me!

                lol, 03 Feb 2012can someoen explain why we're still using glass instead of ... moreThe reason why we need that Gorilla Glass because to avoid mark scratch like other screen of phone.

                It's really annoying if you see your phone have mark scratch.

                    lol, 03 Feb 2012can someoen explain why we're still using glass instead of ... morePlastic dents and scratches much more easily than glass... and breaks down and scuffs.

                    And if that plastic is made hard enough to not be affected by those things, then it inherits the ability to crack anyway.

                    So like ... thats why we use glass.

                                  Also feels better to the touch and easyer to clean . Also plastic degrades in time.

                                    can someoen explain why we're still using glass instead of clear plastic ? i'd rather have 5-10-15% less light but the guarantee it won't crack.
