Gorilla Glass is the name of a special toughened glass that is more resistant to scratches and small chips. Corning manufactures it. These glasses are made of aluminosilicate, a mixture of aluminum, silicon, and oxygen. The advantages of this compound include resistance to damage with a small thickness and weight.
There are several generations of this protective glass. Now manufacturers are trying to install the fifth generation glass on modern smartphones. According to the manufacturer, they can remain intact even after a fall from a height of 1.6 meters. Also, in the summer of 2019, the manufacturer introduced Gorilla Glass 6, which can withstand up to 15 falls from a height of 1 meter!
