Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 celebrates its premiere on the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge
With the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, the South Korean tech giant launches a new premium smartphone, which not only convinces with its performance, but above all with a greatly improved display design. The focus is on the latest innovation of corning: Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2. The combination of advanced glass ceramic technology and tailor-made integration by Samsung promises a particularly robust, but at the same time filigree user experience-a milestone in terms of smartphone material technology.
- New generation glass ceramic: Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 with crystal reinforced glass matrix
- Optimized for the Galaxy S25 Edge: Exclusive cover design in cooperation with Samsung
- Slim and resistant: Thin format without compromises with stability or translucency
- Additional reinforcement: Ion exchange process ensures increased impact and scratch resistance
Crystal technology meets premium design
Gorilla Glass has been the standard for years when it comes to robust smartphone displays. With the introduction of Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, Corning now goes one step further and combines proven glass technology with ceramic components that are deeply incorporated into the glass matrix. The result is a display glass that is not only harder and more resistant to scratches and bumps, but is also visually convincing. The new ceramic crystals are processed in such a way that they do not affect the translucency of the glass-a decisive property for the brilliance and brightness of modern AMOLED displays such as in the Galaxy S25 Edge.
The development took place in close cooperation with Samsung in order to perfectly coordinate the material on the design and the technical requirements of the Galaxy S25 Edge. Despite the increased glass design, the smartphone remains remarkably slim and elegant – an important point in a market in which optical sophistication often counts as much as technical performance. The special processing allows the most thin, marginal design to be realized, which nevertheless comes up with increased resistance.
Progress through ion exchange
A central aspect of the improved resistance of Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 is the so -called ion exchange process. Smaller sodium ions in the glass surface are replaced by larger potassium ions. This creates tensions in the material that make it firmer overall. This technology is not new, but was specially adapted and further developed for the ceramic component.
The display glass achieves a higher impact resistance without being brittle – a often criticized weakness of conventional glass ceramics. For users: Specifically, this means specifically: The Galaxy S25 Edge is intended to put everyday loads such as falls, friction in your pocket or pressure through other objects in the backpack much better than earlier generations. At the same time, the display remains pleasantly thin, quick and clear-ideal for streaming, gaming or mobile content production.
Conclusion
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge sets new standards for display design and robustness with Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic. Through the combination of innovative crystal technology, precise processing and increased material structure, the new flagship combines aesthetics with suitability for everyday use. The device is presented on May 13th at 2 a.m. CEST via Livestream On Samsung’s YouTube channel. Information on prices and market launch is expected as part of the event.
