Glass compositions are provided with low Young's modulus and compatibility with slot drawing techniques, due at least in part to liquidus viscosity and liquidus temperature. When ion-exchanged the resulting glass articles are capable of exhibiting a ratio of a peak compressive stress value in MPa to a Young's modulus value in GPa of 13.0 or more. The glass articles may have a peak compressive stress value in a range of 850 MPa to 1400 MPa. The glass articles are suitable for various high-strength applications, including cover glass applications that experience significant bending stresses during use, for example, cover glasses for flexible displays.
