The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra uses Corning Gorilla Armor 2, the most advanced display protection currently available in smartphones.
Gorilla Armor 2 Features
- Glass-ceramic material with enhanced durability
- Superior scratch resistance
- Improved drop protection
- Anti-reflective coating for outdoor visibility
This is the first smartphone to use Gorilla Armor 2 technology.
Scratch Resistance
The display resists scratches from common items including keys, coins, and sand. However, materials harder than the glass ceramic can still cause scratches. Some users report micro-scratches developing over time, though these are typically only visible at certain angles.
Additional Durability Features
- IP68 water and dust resistance
- Titanium frame for impact absorption
- Flat-edge design
Anti-Reflective Coating
A notable advantage over competitors is reduced screen glare in bright outdoor conditions. The S25 Ultra is significantly easier to use in direct sunlight.
Protection Recommendations
Despite the advanced technology, consider:
- A tempered glass screen protector for additional protection
- Samsung Care+ ($13/month) for repair coverage
Repair Costs
Screen replacement costs $250-350 if damage occurs, making protection coverage worth considering.
Bottom Line
Gorilla Armor 2 provides excellent everyday durability and outstanding outdoor visibility. For maximum protection, pair it with a quality screen protector.
