Samsung and Corning introduce Corning Gorilla Armor, the toughest, most scratch-resistant, and most optically advanced Gorilla Glass yet, on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.
“Corning’s Gorilla Glass, together with the Galaxy S series, has driven innovation and made significant progress towards achieving greater durability,” said Kwangjin Bae, EVP and Head of the Mechanical R&D Team, Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “This partnership has made it possible for people to use our products with confidence and peace of mind.”
Corning Gorilla Armor is a new kind of smartphone cover material that reduces reflection by up to 75%, which improves display readability and reduces screen glare in any environment.
Corning Gorilla Armor also enhances durability on the Galaxy S24 Ultra. In Corning lab tests, Gorilla Armor showed superior durability compared to other aluminosilicate cover glasses. To test its scratch resistance, Corning developed a new lab test called the “Scratch Bot” to simulate micro scratches caused by daily wear. On this test, Gorilla Armor had no visible scratches and had over four times more scratch resistance than other aluminosilicate cover glasses.
Gorilla Armor contains an average of 25% pre-consumer recycled content, as verified by UL Solutions following UL2809-2 Environmental Claim Validation Procedure (ECVP) for Recycled Content.
“Gorilla Armor combines Corning’s research and engineering expertise with Samsung’s design and user experience focus,” said David Velasquez, vice president and general manager, Corning Gorilla Glass. “This innovation addresses both the need for durability and better optics – bringing the future of mobile phone experience to the present.”
Corning Gorilla Glass has been featured on many Samsung devices, from the early Galaxy smartphones to the recent ones, such as the Galaxy S23 Series, Galaxy Z Fold5, and Galaxy Z Flip5, which all use Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2. The Galaxy S24 Ultra with Gorilla Armor continues this long-term relationship dedicated to creating world-class innovations for the mobile consumer electronics industry.
