As we mentioned earlier this week, the Galaxy Note 7 comes with brand new Corning Gorilla Glass 5. This new glass is more shatter-resistant than ever before, but it turns out that comes at a cost: the new glass scratches way more easily than the previous versions, thanks to its use of a softer and more flexible material.
Last weekend, I went to a jazz night at the local university’s botanical garden. Between the eager play of the usual standards and a glacially-paced raffle, my girlfriend managed to drop her Galaxy S7 Edge onto the asphalt. Her phone, devoid of any protection, suffered a nasty crack in the screen that ran between the home button and the left side.
