Corning
Incorporated

(NYSE:
GLW)
and
Samsung
Electronics
Co.,
Ltd.
today
announced
that
the
Galaxy
S25
Ultra
will
feature
Corning®
Gorilla®
Armor
2,
the
industry’s
first
scratch-resistant,
anti-reflective
glass
ceramic
cover
material
for
mobile
devices.
Samsung’s
Galaxy
S25
Ultra
devices
showcase
this
revolutionary
innovation
on
their
front
displays,
marking
an
impressive
milestone
in
mobile
display
technology.

Gorilla
Armor
2
is
a
landmark
achievement
in
glass
ceramic
technology,
combining
superior
toughness
with
excellent
clarity
on
a
smartphone
display.

Samsung’s
choice
to
incorporate
Gorilla
Armor
2
into
its
Galaxy
S25
Ultra
devices
underscore
the
enduring
collaboration
between
Samsung
and
Corning
and
the
two
companies’
shared
commitment
to
innovation
and
customer
satisfaction.

The
Galaxy
S25
Ultra
represents
significant
progress
toward
providing
our
users
with
the
most
resilient
mobile
experience
yet,

said

Kwangjin
Bae
,
EVP
and
Head
of
the
Mechanical
R&D
Team
of
Mobile
eXperience
Business
at
Samsung
Electronics.
Our
partnership
with
Corning
continues
to
push
boundaries
in
display
performance,
ensuring
that
we
meet
the
evolving
needs
of
consumers
worldwide
.”

Compared
to
first-generation
Corning®
Gorilla®
Armor,
Gorilla
Armor
2
offers
enhanced
durability

devices
equipped
with
Gorilla
Armor
2
are
even
better
able
to
withstand
the
rough
and
unpredictable
nature
of
daily
life.
Specifically,
when
dropped
on
rough,
challenging
surfaces,
Gorilla
Armor
2
is
engineered
to
better
resist
damage,
such
as
breakage,
more
effectively
than
ever
before.

Gorilla
Armor
2’s
anti-reflective
properties
dramatically
reduce
surface
reflections
in
both
indoor
and
outdoor
ambient
settings.
These
properties
can
enhance
the
display
contrast
ratio,
delivering
an
exceptional
user
experience
in
various
lighting
conditions.

In
Corning
lab
tests,
Gorilla
Armor
2
survived
drops
of
up
to
2.2
meters
on
a
surface
replicating
concrete.
Alternative
glass
ceramic
materials
failed
when
dropped
from
one
meter.
Additionally,
Gorilla
Armor
2
maintained
its
exceptional
scratch
resistance,
demonstrating
over
four
times
more
scratch
resistance
than
competitive
lithium-aluminosilicate
cover
glasses
with
an
anti-reflective
coating.1

Samsung
and
Corning
have
a
long
history
of
collaborating
to
provide
consumers
with
the
most
advanced
and
innovative
technologies
,”
said

David
Velasquez
,
Vice
President
and
General
Manager,
Corning®
Gorilla®
Glass.
With
Gorilla
Armor
2,
we
offer
consumers
an
unparalleled
user
experience
with
the
first
durable,
optically
advanced
glass
ceramic
cover
material
ever
used
on
a
Galaxy
mobile
device.
