Gorilla Glass 2 - HTC One X

Hi guys long time no speak,
I was just watching the video of that crazy Russian guy attacking a nail with his One X. On the article in which the video was embedded on the particular website I read it on, it was saying the Galaxy S III has Gorilla Glass 2, well I was just wondering does the One X have Gorilla Glass 2?
I have Googled it, however I was only able to find one source and despite it saying that we have Gorilla Glass 2 I was skeptical to believe. Thanks in advance!

Whatever they call the glass, I have read it scratches so I presume the video is fake. Just read a article a Asian guy tried the nail trick and it costed him 200$
One gentleman from Taiwan put his brand new $700 HTC One X to the test. According to the reports, this gentleman was intrigued by the youtube clip and decided to try the experiment for himself. He began by knocking the face of the screen against the knob of his stick shift in his car for about a dozen times. No problem. The Gorilla Glass is puffing his chest at this point and withstanding the punishment as advertised. But he probably should have stopped at that point. Reportedly, he then proceeded to replicate the hammer test for himself, but in this case, the face shatters within three knocks. The damage was a roughly $200 bill and a whole lot of regret. I would say he’s lucky damage was done only on the screen itself. Lesson learned.

Guess so, sometimes I'm skeptical to the whole Gorilla Glass, I've seen hairline scratches caused with nothing in my pocket before now.

Here is the crash test of HOX http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=O1jVPgH6ZMI

I don't get all these tests? Its a phone at the end of the day, not a hammer!
Also why don't people start testing it in water or putting it in ovens to see if it melts? Just a few more ideas about using the One X how its meant to be used NOT. lol

Yes, it is Gorilla Glass 2.
The spec-sheet matches, and HTC have validated this information.

Gorilla glass is only better and more resistant in certain circumstances, glass is glass after all and will break if hit correctly/hard enough.

Didn't Samsung advertise the SIII as being the first phone with Gorilla Glass 2?

The screen on this phone is extremely smooth

Wow, I've never used a phone where my finger glided so easily across the screen, its also the brightest and most vibrant display I've ever used
Point of this thread? I don't know, enjoy
Sent from my Pay phone
Agreed. Love how the screen feels when gliding finger. Especially on the edges where you feel the smooth curved sides. HTC gets an A+ on this phone designwise in all aspects imo

Yeah agreed. I like sliding my finger off the edge to feel that beveled edge.
I like it, but it's like holding a wet bar of soap sometimes :sly:

I do this all the time. The "labs" feature in the stock browser which lets you bring up the context menus by sliding your thumb on the edge of the screen is one of my favourite things about the phone.
Haha it's so true. I recently used my Desire again (my brother is using it now, poor lad!) - it just feels wrong.
OP read in infomercial Billy Mays voice.
Another brilliant thing about the screen is that it hardly retains fingerprints. No need to use a matte screen protector imo.

GOD! This is something i am so scared offffff. I remember when i brought my galaxy s when it was considered one of the better ones, i dropped it in the first week a few times already. My HTC One X i'm taking care of it like it were a device that's pumping blood into my veins. I've taken good care of it so far, at least when it comes to being dropped. But accidents happen, so i can just try my best to avoid it. Despite having watched out very carefully, there are a few scratches that are hardly noticeable when the screen is on. But it annoys the living hell out of me. I'm going to probably buy a screen protector and a case today. The last thing i want is my so far favorite phone ever held to look like it's been worn out.

No it doesn't..I think its better than screen protectors..coz the finger slides much easily on the screen n it doesn't attract that much finger prints either both on the front n the back..its a steal for this price..

Pale yellow!
I am thinking of purchasing this for my Galaxy S3. Unlike the HOX, the S3 has a lot of white on the front as well. Do you think the pale yellow problem would be more prominent on the front of my S3 as compared to the HOX?
Yes ofcourse.

yes indeed
but it should be less breakable than the Galaxy S3... because One X uses the Gorilla Glass "1" and the S3 uses "2".. makers of Gorilla glass say, they're both even strong, but "2" is thinner, more chance to break you're screen on the S3
I once dropped my HTC Desire HD from 2m10 or something, nothing to see from the outside, screen also perfect... only 5 functions were broken inside sent for repair, free repair
I think you just was unlucky

They both use Gorilla 2, the advantage of the S3 is that is has a small lip around the screen absorbing any fall shock into the casing instead of directly into the glass as on the X. This is where you pay with functionality for getting aesthetics.

So, they just made up an article because they didn't know, sounds about right - anything to put another pro for the galaxy, even if not true,
Same with camera, the direct comparisons I've seen show the HTC ONE X camera to be significantly better, but GSM disagree of course, instead they pictures that ain't even taken on the same day, the pictures don't match.
There are direct photos on the android central forum, and the HOX clearly gives better photos.
There is also this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNRuw48ACNc&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Make your own mind up, but the comments speak for themselves, the HOX is superior.
The HOX has a f2.0 28mm lens with a dedicated image processing chip and multi-flash depending on proximity,
The SGS3 only has a f2.6 3.7mm (EXIF data) lens with no dedicated chip or multi-stage flash,
There is also massive discrepancies for the screen quality too, no way is a pentile Amoled display with lower ppi greater than the Super IPS LCD2 display, sure it would be for blacks, but that's where it stops to impress in comparision, colour reproduction, brightness and 'whites' are significantly better on the HOX screen.
Android central gave a TON of coverage from the event in London, videos, reviews & podcasts and over & over have stated the HOX screen to be better.

And they are still listing the Desire Z as having Gorilla Glass, even when I have direct confirmation from HTC through email that no Desire range has Gorilla Glass.
Being Gorilla Glass I or II will affect thickness. As per Corning's own words, From their own FAQ:
Gorilla Glass 2 can be up to 20 percent thinner than the original, but still just as tough.

Hi,
Are you sure about oneV having gorilla glass. Nowhere I came across claims from HTC that One V has the proprietary gorilla glass display. Could it be just scratch-resistant glass of any other make? Please post some screenshots or images if you happen to have any.
Thanks
I'm pretty sure right now that One V doesn't have gorilla glass because I already have one scratch on the screen. It's 1,5 cm long and it's kinda micro deep, but it's visible under sunlight when the screen is off. I don't know how that happened because I don't carry keys and phone in the same pocket. I had wildfire for two years and never got that kind of scratch, which was dropped on the ground many times. Screen protector (foil) is a recommendation for One V. Sorry but I can't make a shot, don't have the camera on me.
HTC One V is not listed on Wikipedia: List Of Devices with Gorilla Glass Display or something..

Well Hannan, that almost settled the discussion till I read the disclaimer by Corning on top of everything on that page which, i quote below
"Corning® Gorilla® Glass is used by more than 33 major brands, has been designed into more than 750 product models, and is featured on more than 750 million devices worldwide. Due to customer agreements, we cannot identify all devices that feature Gorilla Glass. Your favorite device may include Gorilla Glass, even if you don’t see it listed. Ask your manufacturer or retailer to learn more."
The confusion continues... I also feel that OneV does not come with gorilla glass. But it can be a scratch-resistant variety by some other manufacturer. If you see the list you will notice a prominent name missing and that's SONY (SONY ERICSSON) except for the bravia TV's. Sony do provide scratch resistant glass in some of its xperia models which I believe they call "scratch resistant mineral glass". Probably sourced from another supplier. Even then I have never seen OneV mentioned with scratch resistant glass anywhere.
We will keep looking....
ROFL... Big confusion is created here which is not yet confirmed by anyone.

True, but HTC has no reason to ask Corning to not identify One V when they've already identified One X and S and others. One V glass is very 'scratch friendly'. I have an ungainly small, surface scratch in the middle of my screen which glows against white background; seriously its such a small, insignificant scratch but when the screen is white, it shines in full glory. Also many other small scratches despite the fact that I don't carry it in my pocket and do my best to avoid scratches (no screen protection... don't like the feel of them)

I have an ungainly small, surface scratch in the middle of my screen which glows against white background; seriously its such a small, insignificant scratch but when the screen is white, it shines in full glory. Also many other small scratches despite the fact that I don't carry it in my pocket and do my best to avoid scratches (no screen protection... don't like the feel of them)

Hey, did you read my entire statement? Below that I said - I do not think One V comes with gorilla glass (I just hope it did). And further down the thread it is sort of understood that oneV do not have a CG glass. But there was a remote possibility that it may have come with some scratch resistant glass (not corning's). But from your scratch I think it is not. Better use screen protectors and opt for a glossy type. It will look exactly like the screen unlike a Matte finish one.

[Q] Never Knew Gorillas Get Hurt from Short Drops!

Gorilla Glass this, Gorilla Glass that. I kept hearing how amazing this glass is and how much it can handle.
This morning, I accidentally dropped my HTC One X around 3 feet off the ground onto concrete and smashed the display pretty bad. Unlike other smashed displays I've seen, this is broken all the way through. Small shards broke off and you can very clearly feel the cracks and feel like they're about to cut you if you press any harder! See attached files for shots of the phone.

So now my question: What's the process of fixing this? Is it just the top glass that needs to be replaced or do I need to replace the display too? Is there an official place I can order the parts or should I just get them from eBay?

wow, almost what happened to mine.
it got under a bus... gorilla glass sucks.
they should be using bulletproof glass since i dont get shot very often...
I think that you made a bad choice buying an HOX.
You should try this: http://bit.ly/N4Nvic
Anyway... i never understood how one could drop a phone so expensive like these. I dont think its a gorilla glass fault, instead a bad handling or very very bad luck.
I had 6 different phones in all my life, and never dropped/slipped one out of my hand. I´m always very carefull with them.
Sorry for your loss dude. Hope you dont take offense for the upper joke.
You do know Gorilla Glass is scratch resistive, not crack proof?

That is bad luck i think. Last wednesday, my phone felt out of my hand wen i was cycling. It smashed hard on the ground. But rarely no damage on the screen. Only the white cover was damaged. I have to thank god for that
Good luck with your repair.

talking about scratches, my HOX screen has some scratches on it. Not some tiny ones but, the ones which you can see with your own eyes, no mag.glass needed.
I have HTC DZ and it has been in pocket with keys and everything else, and no scratches on it, but HOX is another story. Dont even know how i got the scratches on screen.
Anyone else had this problem with so called "gorilla glass"?

a friend of mine had an Htc Desire also, and now an Htc One S. He complains of the same exact thing! is S got scratched even wearing a protective purse after 2 or 3 weeks and the Desire was used for almost 2 years and directly on his pocket and got nothing.
Dropped mine 2ft on a pile of hangers in a changing room, all mighty crash, it fell face down, fortunately got just a very small chip on the side - phewww
