Phone makers swap Gorilla Glass for in-house glass-ceramic tech

Phone makers swap Gorilla Glass for in-house glass-ceramic tech

Some handset makers are moving away from Gorilla Glass in favor of own glass-ceramic or Shield Glass solutions (e.g., Honor NanoCrystal Shield, Xiaomi Shield Glass) to improve durability, weight, and curved-screen performance. Honor cites cost and fit issues with Gorilla Glass, while Xiaomi says its shields optimize durability and experience. Independent testing on these claims is inconclusive, and Gorilla Glass remains widely used by many major brands, with Apple using Ceramic Shield instead of Gorilla Glass. Consumers should pay attention to screen material when evaluating devices.
