Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra Boasts Head-High Drop Protection with New Corning Gorilla Armor 2
Samsung's latest flagship, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, takes a significant leap in durability with the introduction of Corning Gorilla Armor 2. This advanced ceramic glass promises to withstand head-high drops of up to 2.2 meters (7.2 feet) onto concrete, a remarkable feat considering the previous generation's waist-high drop resistance. A New Standard in Smartphone Durability While neither Samsung nor Corning explicitly guarantees that your phone will survive such a dramatic fall, the lab tests conducted on a phone-sized, weighted "puck" demonstrate a significant improvement in drop resistance. This leap forward in durability is a testament to ongoing advancements in materials science and smartphone engineering. Uncompromising Scratch Resistance One of the key concerns with introducing new, more durable glass has often been a compromise in scratch resistance. However, Corning claims that Gorilla Armor 2 maintains the same impressive scratch resistance as its predecessor, offe…
