Corning releases new Gorilla Glass SR+ for wearbales.

Corning today released a new product, the Gorilla Glass SR+. This new variant is especially designed for wearables such as smartwatches and smart bands.

 According to corning ,the Gorilla Glass SR+ has 70% better damage resistance and 25% better surface reflection as compared to previous alternatives used on wearables. Corning also says that it achieves scratch resistance coating that of "alternative luxury cover metals" (probably sapphire crystal).

The improved optics now means better readability due to less reflections outdoors and idoors. It also means less brightness is needed and this can affect the battery , thus improving battery life in the process.

The Gorilla Glass SR+ is expected to be present on the upcoming smart wearables later this year.
