Corning has announced Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3, a new upgrade to smartphone cover glass that promises protection against years of drops, and it\u2019s launching first on the upcoming Motorola Razr Fold.<\/p>\n

Gorilla Glass is what you\u2019ll find on nearly every flagship-tier smartphone, and the latest iteration is aiming to protect even better against drops. Corning says that Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3 is designed to handle repeat drops for years, with lab testing finding that the glass can stay intact through \u201cat least\u201d 20 repeated one-meter drops onto asphalt-like surfaces. <\/p>\n

Corning says<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3 also\u00a0demonstrated\u00a0substantial advantages in repeated drop scenarios. In Corning lab tests, the material survived at least 20 repeated drops from one meter onto surfaces simulating asphalt\u00a0\u2014 another\u00a0common\u00a0surface\u00a0where\u00a0devices are dropped.\u00a0In contrast, a competitive aluminosilicate glass typically failed on the first drop, underscoring the\u00a0long-term\u00a0durability benefits enabled by Corning\u2019s\u00a0glass\u00a0ceramic technology.<\/p>\n

We saw this for ourselves in action at MWC 2026, with Corning representatives dropping a test device using Gorilla Glass 3 Ceramic from a few feet in the air into a free-fall onto an asphalt-like surface. The device fell face first \u2013 arguably the scariest way to land \u2013 and came out unscathed. Corning said that the device had already taken several falls before that, too.<\/p>\n

Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3 will launch first on the Motorola Razr Fold, the new foldable that was detailed more in-depth at MWC 2026 this week.<\/p>\n

Corning says that Razr Fold will be the \u201cfirst smartphone\u00a0available\u201d with this new glass, but other brands are likely to follow not too far behind.<\/p>\n
