The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra features Corning Gorilla Armor 2, providing excellent durability with unique anti-reflective properties.
Gorilla Armor 2 Features
| Property | Specification |
|----------|---------------|
| Scratch resistance | Mohs level 6 |
| Anti-reflective | 75% reflection reduction |
| Fingerprint resistance | Enhanced coating |
Scratch Resistance
The screen resists scratches from everyday items like keys and coins (Mohs level 4-5). Deeper grooves only appear at Mohs level 7, matching flagship competitors.
Drop Performance
| Drop Height | Result |
|-------------|--------|
| Pocket height | Minor frame scuffs, screen intact |
| Head height | Frame absorbed impact, display undamaged |
| Overhead | Corner damage, screen functional |
The titanium frame effectively absorbs impact force.
Structural Tests
The phone passed bend tests without structural weakness when pressure was applied from multiple angles.
Potential Vulnerabilities
- Sand and mineral particles (harder than glass)
- Direct impacts at vulnerable angles
- Edge and corner drops
Protection Recommendations
For a device at this price point, consider:
- Tempered glass screen protector for additional scratch and impact protection
- Quality case for frame and corner protection
The flat display design simplifies screen protector installation compared to curved screens.
Summary
The S25 Ultra's Gorilla Armor 2 screen ranks among the most durable smartphone displays available. While highly resistant to everyday wear, supplementary protection remains sensible for a premium device.
