Corning further developed the material for a variety of smartphones and other consumer electronics devices for a range of companies.[6][7][8]

The manufacturer markets the material's primary properties as its high scratch-resistance (protective coating) and its hardness (with a Vickers hardness test rating of 622 to 701),[9] which allows the glass to be thin without fragility. It can be recycled.[6]

By 2010, the glass had been used in approximately 20% of mobile handsets worldwide, about 200 million units.[10] The second generation, called "Gorilla Glass 2", was introduced in 2012. On October 24, 2012, Corning announced that over one billion mobile devices used Gorilla Glass.[11] Gorilla Glass 2 is 20% thinner than the original Gorilla Glass.[12]

Gorilla Glass 3 was introduced at CES 2013. According to Corning, the material is up to three times more scratch-resistant than the previous version, with enhanced ability to resist deep scratches that typically weaken glass.[13] The promotional material for Gorilla Glass 3 claims that it is 40% more scratch-resistant, in addition to being more flexible.[14] The design of Gorilla Glass 3 was Corning's first use of atomic-scale modeling before the material was melted in laboratories, with the prediction of the optimal composition obtained through the application of rigidity theory.[15]

When Gorilla Glass 3 was announced Corning indicated that areas for future improvements included reducing reflectivity and susceptibility to fingerprint smudges, and changing the surface treatments and the way it is finished.[12] Antimicrobial Gorilla Glass with ionic silver, which is antibacterial, incorporated into its surface was demonstrated in early 2014.[16]

Gorilla Glass 4, with better damage resistance and capability to be made thinner with the same performance as its predecessor, was announced at the end of 2014.[17]

Gorilla Glass 5 was first used on the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 in 2016.[18]

Gorilla Glass SR+ was first used on the Samsung Gear S3 smartwatch in 2016.[19]

Gorilla Glass has also addressed the automobile market. For gorilla glass automotive application, Corning and Saint-Gobain established a joint venture. Ford Motor Company announced it will be using the material for the front and rear windshields on its Ford GT sports car beginning in 2016.[20] This glass is lighter than the traditional laminated glass, which is effective in fuel efficiency, but it is more expensive than the traditional laminated glass.

There are photographs products printed on the surface of gorilla glass.[41]

Gorilla glass will not be applied to the foldable display and their application.
