The Galaxy S24 Ultra arrived in early 2024 with powerful specs, AI features, and a capable camera system. The device’s display quality was also great, although there was another related aspect that was not far behind. The phone’s screen boasted a layer of Corning Gorilla Armor Glass with impressive anti-reflective properties. A new report claims that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will follow this path by using the second generation of Gorilla Armor Glass.
Corning Gorilla Armor not only provides remarkable extra resistance to the display but also includes anti-reflective capabilities that put its rivals to shame. The difference between a device with Gorilla Armor and others is quite noticeable when comparing them directly side by side. A less reflective screen greatly helps visibility under intense sunlight. It also favors image quality by preventing light reflections from affecting contrast, colors, and other parameters.
Samsung to integrate second-gen Gorilla Armor Glass on the Galaxy S25 Ultra, tipster claims
According to Ice Universe, a reliable tipster focused on Samsung products, the Galaxy S25 Ultra will boast a “more powerful second-generation” Gorilla Armor Glass. The post on X/Twitter doesn’t offer more specific details on how the next iteration of the protective glass will be better. However, you can expect a higher level of durability and, perhaps, even more impressive anti-reflective properties for Samsung’s next-gen mobile flagship.
User feedback about the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s display has been generally favorable. However, a few months ago, some cases arose where the oleophobic layer of the glass showed visible wear after a few months of use. Hopefully, Corning will be able to resolve this issue in the second-generation glass, which, while not widespread, did cause disappointment for the few affected.
Regarding the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s display, recent findings suggest that it will be brighter than its predecessor. An analysis of an in-test unit revealed that it will support up to 3000 nits of peak brightness. Previously, the same tipster also said that the company has resolved the grainy effect issue that some Galaxy S24 Ultra owners were complaining about.
Lastly, below you can see comparisons between the Galaxy S23 Ultra (without Gorilla Armor) and the S24 Ultra (with Gorilla Armor) displays under the sun to give you an idea of what to expect on the upcoming model.
