Nokia Lumia 800 and the perfect battery life

Corning Gorilla Glass is lightweight, yet incredibly tough, and enables the 3.7-inch screen of the Nokia Lumia 800 to be one of the strongest smartphone displays you can find. Resistant to scratches, chips and drops, you can carry your Nokia Windows Phone in your pocket without any worry of damage.

The basic science behind Gorilla Glass is that it is chemically strengthened through a complex ion-exchange process, to create an incredibly thin and tough sheet of glass. This lets it be light enough for use on the slimmest gadgets and yet durable enough to survive the busiest portable use.

To prove just how tough the Nokia Lumia 800’s 3.7-inch Gorilla Glass screen is, one man has posted a video showing himself putting the display though some fairly major trauma, to see if it can walk away unscathed. The results are pretty amazing and leave no doubt as to how tough the display is.

As well as a experiencing a close encounter with a corkscrew, the Nokia Lumia 800 is pelted with keys and coins, and even gets up close with the business edge of a Swiss Army Knife. And throughout it all, there is nary a scuff or scratch to be seen on the gorgeous 3.7-inch AMOLED screen.
