As announced today by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW), the 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐬𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐱𝐲 𝐒𝟐𝟓 𝐔𝐥𝐭𝐫𝐚 will be equipped with Corning Gorilla® Armor 2, the first scratch-resistant, anti-reflective glass ceramic cover material for mobile devices. A major breakthrough in mobile display technology, this innovative idea is shown on the front screens of Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra handsets.

A groundbreaking development in glass ceramic technology, Gorilla Armor 2 combines exceptional robustness with sharp clarity on a smartphone screen. The decision by Samsung to include Gorilla Armor 2 into its Galaxy S25 Ultra handsets highlights the long-standing partnership between Samsung and Corning and the two businesses' shared dedication to innovation and client happiness.

“The Galaxy S25 Ultra represents significant progress toward providing our users with the most resilient mobile experience yet,” said Kwangjin Bae, EVP and Head of the Mechanical R&D Team of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “Our partnership with Corning continues to push boundaries in display performance, ensuring that we meet the evolving needs of consumers worldwide.”

Gorilla Armor 2 provides increased durability over the original Corning® Gorilla® Armor; gadgets with Gorilla Armor 2 are even more resilient to everyday life's harsh and uncertain conditions. In particular, Gorilla Armor 2 is designed to withstand harm, including breakage, more successfully than ever before when dropped on difficult, uneven surfaces. 

The anti-reflective qualities of Gorilla Armor 2 significantly lessen surface reflections in ambient conditions both indoors and outdoors. In a variety of lighting scenarios, these characteristics can improve the display contrast ratio and provide an outstanding user experience. 

Gorilla Armor 2 withstood fall of up to 2.2 meters on a concrete-like surface in Corning lab testing. When dropped from a height of one meter, alternative glass-ceramic materials failed. Furthermore, Gorilla Armor 2 continued to exhibit remarkable scratch resistance, outperforming competing lithium-aluminosilicate cover glasses with an anti-reflective coating by a factor of four.

"Samsung and Corning have a long history of collaborating to provide consumers with the most advanced and innovative technologies," said David Velasquez, Vice President and General Manager, of Corning® Gorilla® Glass. "With Gorilla Armor 2, we offer consumers an unparalleled user experience with the first durable, optically advanced glass ceramic cover material ever used on a Galaxy mobile device."
