The latest flagship smartphone of Samsung - Galaxy S4 may be crammed with features, but it has left many disappointed with its plastic build. However, the handset is sure to impress the consumers as it is capable of thwarting all manner of abuse with sharp things.

 

Galaxy S4 is the first smartphone to arrive with Corning Gorilla Glass 3, a new chemically strengthened glass that is claimed to prevent the display from scratches. Also, Corning claims that the protection is three times more capable of repelling scrapes and grazes as compared to Gorilla Glass 2, which is used on Galaxy S3 and many other devices.
