Schott’s Xensation Cover Glass might not be popular, but it is in use by a handful of smartphone brands. There is a small probability that if you have owned a Vivo, Fero, or Huawei/Honor smartphone, or an OPPO smartwatch, you just might have experienced Xensation Glass protection. A small chance.
SCHOTT Xensation Glass vs Gorilla Glass
Corning’s Gorilla Glass is the most widely used protection on smartphone screens globally. As such, it has become a standard of some sort. However, Schott claims that its Xensation Glass is stronger, tougher, and offers more protection than Gorilla Glass does. Those claims are difficult to verify. We would have to setup numerous controlled experiments and drop tests to do that. I have searched for any such tests and have yet to find them. At this point, it is Schott’s word against Corning’s.
