Corning’s Project Phire to Further Improve Gorilla Glass

Gorilla Glass, probably the biggest manufacturer of glass used in smartphones, may soon be taking their product to a whole new level.

Project Phire is Corning’s newest attempt in producing a new material that can be used for smartphones and tablets. CNET reported that the new product will combine the toughness of the Gorilla added with sapphire like scratch-resistant properties.

CNET also stated in a report that Corning is also planning to have the new material ready later this year, and even if sapphire did suffer some setbacks, the big question is which material will be used for up-coming smartphone and tablet models.
