Huawei launching sapphire-clad Ascend P7

Are sapphire displays all that?


Of course, all this talk about the transition to sapphire displays makes us wonder just how much these are worth all the hype. Previous tests prove Sapphire displays are great for protecting against scratches, but contrary to common belief, these are not shatter proof (though they are strong).

Gorilla Glass maker Corning states sapphire is brittle by nature, and not able to best Gorilla Glass 3. This comes from a company with vast experience and reputation in the industry, but we have also seen Marques Brownlee give an iPhone 6 Sapphire display quite the beating.



Furthermore, big names like Apple and Kyocera (known for their rugged devices) are signing up to join the sapphire party. We can’t know just how strong sapphire crystal is yet, but you can be sure we will put it to the test. As usual, you can expect some drops to come!
