Corning Incorporated has rolled out its new Corning Gorilla Armor 2, featured on the recently launched Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.
This glass ceramic cover material is scratch-resistant and anti-reflective, specifically designed for mobile devices. The Galaxy S25 Ultra’s front display showcases this groundbreaking material, marking a major advancement in mobile display technology. Corning noted that Gorilla Armor 2 combines exceptional toughness with clear display quality.
Gorilla Armor 2 is more durable than the first-generation Gorilla Armor. Devices equipped with Gorilla Armor 2 are better suited to handle daily wear and tear. The material is engineered to resist damage, such as breakage, when dropped on tough surfaces.
- Gorilla Armor 2’s anti-reflective properties reduce surface reflections both indoors and outdoors, improving display contrast and user experience.
- Corning’s lab tests showed that Gorilla Armor 2 survived drops of up to 2.2 meters on concrete-like surfaces, while other materials failed from one meter.
- Gorilla Armor 2 offers over four times more scratch resistance compared to competitive lithium-aluminosilicate cover glasses with an anti-reflective coating.
Samsung’s use of Gorilla Armor 2 in the Galaxy S25 Ultra highlights their ongoing partnership with Corning and their shared focus on innovation and customer satisfaction.
