Enhanced Display Durability for Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL
Google has introduced significant durability upgrades for its Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL smartphones. Both models feature an anti-scratch display coating applied over Gorilla Glass Victus 2. This coating is claimed to provide more than double the scratch resistance compared to previous Pixel devices.
Proprietary Coating Details
The anti-scratch coating is 800nm thick and is positioned between the glass and the oleophobic layer. Google conducted tests simulating real-world conditions, such as contact with keys and other items in a purse, to assess the coating's performance. The company has not disclosed the exact composition of this proprietary coating.

The Pixel 11 Pro Fold incorporates different durability enhancements. It utilizes a new ceramic glass material for its display, distinct from the coating on the Pro and Pro XL models. Additionally, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold features a new glass fiber composite back cover, which Google states is nearly impossible to crack. These combined features make the Pixel 11 Pro Fold three times more durable than its predecessor, the 10 Pro Fold.
