In lab tests, Gorilla®. survived drops from up to 2 meters. Competitive aluminosilicate typically fails from less than 0.8 meters. The typical threshold for competitive aluminosilicate is at 2-4 Newtons. For Gorilla® Glass VictusTM, the scratch threshold is typically at 7-10 Newtons. That’s up to 4x better!

Unlike Corning, however, Asahi has yet to publicly disclose its drop height numbers. A point of comparison, meanwhile, would be through another hardness scale. In the Vickers hardness scale, which came later than Mohs, Gorilla Glass reports a range of 590 to 691, while Dragontrail reports a range of 595 to 673.
