Business Wire
Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., a leading mobile phone provider,
and Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW), a world leader in specialty
glass and ceramics, announced today that Corning® Gorilla® Glass
has been designed into the GALAXY S II, Samsung Electronics’ most
powerful smartphone.
The Samsung GALAXY S II, launched at February’s Mobile World
Congress in Barcelona, Spain, is a dual-core-smartphone powered by
the Android™ 2.3 (Gingerbread) platform, and packed with rich
multimedia and data communication features. Thin, lightweight
Corning Gorilla Glass, used as a damage-resistant cover, helps
enable the sleek-yet-durable mobile design of Samsung GALAXY S
II.
Continuing a tradition of 160 years of innovation in materials
science and technology, Corning Gorilla Glass is an environmentally
friendly glass designed specifically to function as a cover glass
for high-end display devices such as smartphones, tablets, notebook
PCs, and televisions.
Hankil Yoon, Vice President of Smartphone Product Planning,
Samsung Electronics, said “GALAXY S II features the next-generation
Super-AMOLED-Plus in strikingly slim and modern design, taking
Samsung’s leadership in mobile screen technology to a whole new
level. Corning Gorilla Glass has enabled super-slim mobility on the
high-quality touch display on GALAXY S II.”
“Corning Gorilla Glass has now become the leading strengthened
glass standard for the continuously evolving mobile device market,”
added James R. Steiner, senior vice president and general manager,
Corning Specialty Materials. “Following last year’s cooperation on
the GALAXY S and GALAXY Tab, we are excited to provide Corning’s
unparalleled glass expertise for GALAXY S II.”
Gorilla Glass is a thin-and light-weight material which supports
the seamless full-glass fronts of the most sophisticated device
designs. Because it is strengthened at the molecular level, its
ability to resist damage creates a performance advantage over other
cover materials.
