This is a nothing article with no real substantive information or answer to the question.
The answer is undoubtedly 1. cost, and/or 2. trade war.

As the article notes, Gorilla Glass is expensive, companies would rather not pay for it and use older versions in cheaper phones, quite frankly this is a plausible enough of a reason to not even bother writing the “article”.

If the author had wanted to spend another minute thinking about it before posting, they might’ve realized that Corning is an American company, and Chinese smartphone makers might be hedging their bets and investing in in-house / in-country alternatives in case they get cut off by the petulant child of a country that is America.
Trade war makes sense but your first point is utter fucking nonsense and if you had a braincell you would read the article before commenting like a twat. You’re exactly the kind of person who screams fake news before doing any research like those conservative vaccine repelling morons.
Considering it looks like you need clickbait headlines to operate on a day to day basis, here you go - article CLEARLY states and in house glasses are SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive than Gorilla Glass for some manufacturers.
Umm, is it possible you might be taking this personally? Your response seems super unnecessarily aggressive.

I don’t care what PR rep says, its cost cutting one way or another. I hypothesize that gorilla glass had a 10 year contract with the phone manufactures and now that the contract is up some are choosing to cut out the moddle man in hopes of cheaper in-house solutions.
