Motorola will use Gorilla Glass for all its smartphones starting this year

While we’re still revealing everything that will happen at this year’s Mobile World Congress (MWC), Motorola has announced a significant change in its smartphone strategy. The company has partnered with Corning to equip its entire future smartphone portfolio with Corning’s famous Gorilla Glass, starting in the second half of 2024.

from Motorola official statement emphasizes its commitment to “advanced materials and technologies” and ensures that “every consumer has access to the sustainability and peace of mind that comes with this technology.” The announcement builds on Corning’s existing partnership with Motorola parent company Lenovo, which already uses Gorilla Glass in some laptops and tablets.

Although there are other protective glass solutions on the market, Gorilla Glass has established itself as a leader in smartphone screen protection thanks to its combination of durability, aesthetics and functionality. This move demonstrates Motorola’s commitment to improving the durability of its devices across all price ranges.

Previously, Gorilla Glass was mostly reserved for its premium offerings like the Moto Edge Plus. Now even their budget phones will benefit from the superior scratch and drop resistance of Gorilla Glass. We’ve already seen Motorola use Gorilla Glass 3 on the recently announced Moto G Play (2024).

In addition to the Gorilla Glass announcement, Motorola also revealed a concept phone that can wrap around the user’s wrist like a bracelet (can we call it the Moto RapR, please? ). Additionally, Motorola and its parent company, Lenovo, unveiled a collaborative effort: the Smart Connect Suite. This suite of features promises seamless connectivity between laptops, tablets and phones from both brands, allowing users to share keyboards and mice, effortlessly continue videos across multiple devices, use a clipboard universal smart, and much more.
