Samsung Electronics and Corning Incorporated have announced that the flagship Galaxy S25 Ultra smartphone is equipped with the latest Corning® Gorilla® Armour 2 coating.

Here's What We Know

This is the world's first glass-ceramic coating for mobile devices that combines high scratch resistance with anti-reflective properties.

Improved durability and image quality

Gorilla Armour 2 is an important breakthrough in glass ceramic technology, providing increased protection against damage and reduced glare. As a result, the image on the smartphone display remains clear even in bright light. In laboratory tests, the new material withstood drops from a height of up to 2.2 metres onto a concrete-like surface, while alternative materials shattered from as little as one metre.

In addition, Gorilla Armour 2 has increased scratch resistance - four times higher than other glass-ceramic coatings with an anti-reflective layer.

This is not the first time Samsung has collaborated with Corning.

Gorilla Armour 2 anti-reflective coating significantly reduces glare both indoors and outdoors. This improves the contrast of the image, which ensures comfortable use of the smartphone in any lighting conditions.

Main advantages of Gorilla Armour 2

  • Increased resistance to drops and scratches;
  • Reduced glare and improved display contrast;
  • Durability in harsh environments.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra with Gorilla Armour 2 is expected to be available in the market in the first quarter of this year.
