New Gorilla Glass Armor improves Protection in Galaxy S25 Ultra

According to a leaker, Samsung could equip the Galaxy S25 Ultra with the next generation of Gorilla Glass Armor. The new display protector should not only be more robust, but also offer improved anti-reflective coating. What’s behind the upgrade?

New protective glass for Samsung’s top model

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra casts its shadow ahead. An early market launch is currently expected in 2025. Rumors about technical innovations have been circulating for a long time. Particular attention is said to be on the display protection of the upcoming flagship model.

The current Galaxy S24 Ultra already uses Corning’s Gorilla Glass Armor, a particularly durable glass variant with an anti-reflective coating. This technology significantly reduces screen reflections, significantly improving readability in bright ambient light. Now there are indications that Samsung is further improving this technology for the S25 Ultra:

According to well-known leaker Ice Universe, this new version promises even more powerful anti-reflective properties. If this information proves true, Samsung could once again raise the bar for display quality and protection in the smartphone industry.

The further development of the Gorilla Glass Armor could bring several advantages. On the one hand, an even better anti-reflective coating on the display is to be expected, which would make it even easier to use the smartphone in sunlight. On the other hand, the protective function against scratches and impacts should be further improved.

Problems with the Galaxy S24 Ultra

However, users of the Galaxy S24 Ultra occasionally reported problems with the oleophobic coating on the display, which wore off faster than expected. It remains to be seen whether the second generation of Gorilla Glass Armor can solve these teething problems.

For Samsung, the exclusive use of the next generation of Gorilla Glass Armor is likely to be an important selling point. We will know more about this soon. The performance will take place on January 22nd in San Francisco as part of the next Unpacked event.
