No. He took a butter knife, a serrated knife, and a bunch of coins to the GS4’s screen, tried to scratch the living bejesus out of it, and he failed. Why? Because Samsung’s 2013 flagship uses Gorilla Glass 3 technology. What’s different about Gorilla Glass 3 compared to the two previous versions? Gorilla Glass 2 was just as strong as Gorilla Glass 1, but 20% thinner, and Gorilla Glass 3 is allegedly three times as strong as Gorilla Glass 2. Does any of this matter? No. Someone, somewhere, will drop their GS4 and shatter the display. It’s inevitable. Fancy screen technology helps prevent accidents, but there’s only so much it can do when put against cobble stone European streets, American concrete, and heavy Asian pedestrian traffic.
