Many people were concerned when we first announced that the Galaxy Nexus will not include Gorilla Glass. Samsung’s previous phones have all used this highly toughened glass, while competing phones suffer from weak screens & cracking issues. Several high profile bloggers and smartphone experts even questioned the resilience of the screen on Samsung’s upcoming Nexus device, since it lacks Gorilla Glass.
However, if this video is to be believed, there’s nothing to worry about with the Galaxy Nexus. Some crazy guys have actually take a key, and tried their hardest to scratch the screen. But apparently, all such efforts were futile.
This isn’t something that we’d try at home, but it seems like Samsung’s found some other glass that is at least as resilient for real-world usage. Because let’s face it, who’s really going to be pulling a car key across their phone screen, with maximum pressure?
