Any informaion on if the Z5 line use Gorilla glass 4, or do they still use Gorilla glass 3/Dragontrail X?

Also is there any word on what headphones are included in the box? Noice cancelling as some regions got with Z2 or regular?

I'd love to know the answer to this too. I've waiting for a Z5 since seeing a Z3 advert a while ago, but my friend bought a Z3 just over a month ago and has already had the glass shatter twice.

Sony service & Vodafone have refused to replace it for him. After years living with Apple's exceptional service and having not yet had an iPhone break on me, his experience has completely put me off.

I've dropped all my iPhones hundreds of times and never had one break, so for me, whether he dropped it or not is totally irrevelant; all phones get dropped at some point - so I don't want to buy one with cheap glass!

Corning's own website does not list Sony as a user of Gorilla Glass; I highly doubt wikipedia is accurate on this front. http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/en/products-with-gorilla

I know thsat Sony used gorilla 3 and Dragon Trail on the Z3. It would be nice to know if that is still the case, or have they moved on to gorilla 4.

I sent them email to ask about gorrila glass in sony products

Subject: Need Information of supported products.

Hello,
I would like to know is sony smartphones have gorilla glass protection? If yes then which models have gorilla glass protection? I would also want to know whether Sony's latest upcoming flagship models Z5 series will have gorilla glass protection or not? I have seen at wikipedia that few sony smartphones are listed as supported products is it true? Link to wiki https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_devices_with_Gorilla_Glass But in your website no sony products are listed why?
Thank you.

And they replied this

Good day, 

Corning® Gorilla® Glass has appeared on more than three billion electronic devices. 

Because of non-disclosure clauses in some our customer contracts, we cannot identify all the devices that feature Corning® Gorilla® Glass, so we encourage you to contact the manufacturer of your device. If you would like to know which devices do use Gorilla Glass or to learn more, you can visit our website at www.CorningGorillaGlass.com.

So it looks to me only sony reps can answer about gorilla glass.
