Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Creates New Standards of Durability and Visual Clarity with Corning Gorilla Armor

Corning Gorilla Armor is the most scratch resistant, optically advanced Gorilla Glass yet, enabling unprecedented durability and a maximized visual experience on Samsung’s latest flagship smartphone

Corning, N.Y., Jan. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced that Samsung’s Galaxy S24 Ultra devices will feature Corning’s new Corning Gorilla Armor cover material. Gorilla Armor offers an unparalleled combination of durability and visual clarity, delivering a richer display in sunlight and greater protection against damage caused by daily wear.

“Corning’s Gorilla Glass, together with the Galaxy S series, have 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 different kind of smartphone cover material. Compared to a typical glass surface, Corning Gorilla Armor reduces reflection by up to 75%, which enhances display readability and minimizes screen reflections in almost any environment.¹

Corning’s new cover material optimizes durability on the Galaxy S24 Ultra. In Corning lab tests, Gorilla Armor demonstrated superior durability when compared against competitive aluminosilicate cover glasses.² To measure its exceptional scratch resistance, Corning created a new lab test – the “Scratch Bot” – to replicate micro scratches caused by day-to-day wear. On this rigorous test, Gorilla Armor showed no visible scratches and demonstrated over four times more scratch resistance than competitive aluminosilicate cover glasses.

Gorilla Armor contains an average of 25% pre-consumer recycled content, as validated by UL Solutions in accordance with UL2809-2 Environmental Claim Validation Procedure (ECVP) for Recycled Content.³

“Gorilla Armor brings Corning’s research and engineering prowess together with Samsung’s consumer-centric design and focus on user experience,” said David Velasquez, vice president and general manager, Corning Gorilla Glass. “This latest innovation simultaneously addresses both the need for durability and the increasing need for better optics – bringing the mobile phone experience of the future into the present.”
