Poco X3 Pro confirmed to sport Corning Gorilla Glass 6 ahead of India launch on March 30

Poco X3 Pro, which will launch in India on March 30, will sport Corning Gorilla Glass 6. The company confirmed the feature in a tweet. Poco India also posted a 23-second video that showcases the durability of Corning Gorilla Glass 6.

Corning Gorilla Glass 6 will be scratch-resistant, capable of handling up to 4 Newton load, and 28kgf of pressure. To recall, Corning Gorilla Glass was unveiled in 2018 with improved performance, up to 1.6m, and higher resistance to scratch and sharp contact damage.

Poco X3 Pro will be a successor to the Poco X3, which was launched in September last year. The Pro variant is expected to feature slightly higher-end specifications, though the design will remain similar.

When it comes to screen protection, it looks like Poco X3 Pro will step up from a Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on the Poco X3. However, do keep in mind that the company has not confirmed whether the Corning Gorilla Glass 6 coating will be present on both the front and back of the device.
