SMARTPHONE STRENGTH

How thin glass on mobile devices resists shattering

Phones are much more advanced than the chunky devices they used to be, required only for texting or calling. Smartphones store so much data and sentimental photos and are used for multiple jobs, from navigation to research. They help to connect us, and so many of us take them everywhere. Smart devices have reduced in size, with slimmer models becoming the most desirable. But does slimming down also mean increased fragility? Dropping your new mobile phone may be a frequent fear, but specialised glass helps to give these devices the best protection.
