Samsung Electronics and Corning Integrated (NYSE: GLW) right this moment introduced that the Galaxy S25 Extremely will function Corning® Gorilla® Armor 2, the business’s first scratch-resistant, anti-reflective glass ceramic cowl materials for cell units. Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Extremely units showcase this revolutionary innovation on their entrance shows, marking a formidable milestone in cell show expertise.
Gorilla Armor 2 is a landmark achievement in glass ceramic expertise, combining superior toughness with wonderful readability on a smartphone show.
Samsung’s selection to include Gorilla Armor 2 into its Galaxy S25 Extremely units underscore the enduring collaboration between Samsung and Corning and the 2 corporations’ shared dedication to innovation and buyer satisfaction.
“The Galaxy S25 Extremely represents important progress towards offering our customers with essentially the most resilient cell expertise but,” mentioned Kwangjin Bae, EVP and Head of the Mechanical R&D Staff of Cell eXperience Enterprise at Samsung Electronics. “Our partnership with Corning continues to push boundaries in show efficiency, making certain that we meet the evolving wants of shoppers worldwide.”
In comparison with first-generation Corning® Gorilla® Armor, Gorilla Armor 2 affords enhanced sturdiness — units geared up with Gorilla Armor 2 are even higher in a position to stand up to the tough and unpredictable nature of every day life. Particularly, when dropped on tough, difficult surfaces, Gorilla Armor 2 is engineered to higher resist harm, equivalent to breakage, extra successfully than ever earlier than.
Gorilla Armor 2’s anti-reflective properties dramatically scale back floor reflections in each indoor and out of doors ambient settings. These properties can improve the show distinction ratio, delivering an distinctive consumer expertise in varied lighting circumstances.
In Corning lab exams, Gorilla Armor 2 survived drops of as much as 2.2 meters on a floor replicating concrete. Various glass ceramic supplies failed when dropped from one meter. Moreover, Gorilla Armor 2 maintained its distinctive scratch resistance, demonstrating over 4 instances extra scratch resistance than aggressive lithium-aluminosilicate cowl glasses with an anti-reflective coating.1
“Samsung and Corning have an extended historical past of collaborating to supply shoppers with essentially the most superior and revolutionary applied sciences,” mentioned David Velasquez, Vice President and Common Supervisor, Corning® Gorilla® Glass. “With Gorilla Armor 2, we provide shoppers an unparalleled consumer expertise with the primary sturdy, optically superior glass ceramic cowl materials ever used on a Galaxy cell machine.”
