Samsung and Corning have announced a significant advancement in mobile display technology, with the Galaxy S25 Ultra featuring Corning Gorilla Armor 2. This innovative glass ceramic material, the industry’s first-of-its-kind scratch-resistant, anti-reflective cover for mobile devices, will protect the front displays of the new flagship phones.
Gorilla Armor 2 represents a major leap forward in glass technology, combining exceptional scratch resistance with superior clarity, creating a premium viewing experience. This partnership between Samsung and Corning further emphasizes their long-standing commitment to innovation and delivering superior customer experiences through cutting-edge advancements in mobile device technology.
The incorporation of Gorilla Armor 2 into the Galaxy S25 Ultra showcases this commitment, demonstrating a continued dedication to both performance and protection.
Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra marks a significant leap forward in mobile resilience. According to Kwangjin Bae, EVP and Head of the Mechanical R&D Team at Samsung Electronics, the phone represents a substantial advancement in providing users with a truly durable mobile experience.
This improvement is directly tied to the continued partnership with Corning, whose Gorilla Armor 2 technology is engineered to surpass the performance of previous generations. Gorilla Armor 2 boasts enhanced durability, providing even greater protection against breakage and damage when subjected to drops on challenging surfaces.
This represents a meaningful improvement over first-generation Gorilla Armor, ensuring that the S25 Ultra can better withstand the rigors of everyday use.
Gorilla Glass Victus and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 are renowned for their durability, but the anti-reflective properties of Gorilla Armor 2 take the user experience to a new level. By dramatically reducing surface reflections in both indoor and outdoor environments, Gorilla Armor 2 minimizes distracting glare. This minimized reflection directly impacts the display’s contrast ratio, creating a noticeably more vibrant image.
Whether in brightly lit environments or shaded areas, users can enjoy a consistently clear and crisp display, free from unwanted reflections that can hinder visibility and readability. This enhanced clarity and contrast results in a significantly improved user experience, no matter the lighting conditions.
Corning’s Gorilla Glass Armor 2 has demonstrated superior durability in lab drop tests, exceeding the performance of alternative glass ceramic materials. In tests simulating concrete surfaces, Gorilla Armor 2 withstood drops from a height of 2.2 meters, significantly surpassing the failure point of one meter for other glass ceramic materials.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra’s camera system builds upon a strong foundation with the addition of a new 50MP f/1.9 ultrawide lens. This complements the existing impressive suite, including a powerful 200MP f/1.7 main camera, a versatile 50MP f/3.4 5x telephoto lens, and a 10MP f/2.4 3x midrange zoom.
Samsung maintains its commitment to high-resolution capture, but importantly, this isn’t just about megapixels. The new phone’s AI-powered ProVisual Engine promises enhancements across the entire photography workflow, from shooting to viewing and editing captured images. A 12MP f/2.2 selfie camera rounds out the array, ensuring comprehensive coverage for all your mobile photography needs.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra introduces a new level of personalization with Portrait Studio’s AI-powered avatar creation. Users can now generate unique digital representations of themselves. The device comes in a range of stylish colors – Titanium Silverblue, Titanium Black, Titanium Whitesilver, and Titanium Gray – and is available in three storage configurations: 12/256GB, 12/512GB, and 12GB/1TB.
Pre-order incentives include a generous storage upgrade; doubling the base storage to 512GB at no extra cost. Pricing for the Galaxy S25 Ultra starts at €1,449/£1,249, escalating to €1,569/£1,349 and €1,569/£1,549 for the higher-end configurations.
This innovative material not only enhances the device’s resilience against scratches and damage but also boasts improved optical clarity, contributing to a superior visual experience. The partnership underscores a commitment to delivering both performance and protection in a seamless, user-friendly package.
