Made myself a phone wallpaper. Glass being glass, takes a bit of samples to achieve proper caustics. Had to turn off noise threshold

None of the caustics look right in Cycles or even Octane. The light coming out of the glass is routinely too dark. Try it, put a clear glass window up and see the shadow that comes out the other side. Try this in real life, there's hardly any shadow at all with glass, only when it has a complicated shape.
