In an exciting collaboration, Samsung Electronics and Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) have revealed that the upcoming Galaxy S24 Ultra smartphones will feature Corning's groundbreaking Corning® Gorilla® Armor cover material. This innovative technology promises an unparalleled blend of durability and visual clarity, elevating the smartphone experience to new heights by delivering a superior display in various lighting conditions and enhancing protection against daily wear and tear.

Kwangjin Bae, EVP and Head of the Mechanical R&D Team, Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics, expressed, “Corning’s Gorilla® Glass, together with the Galaxy S series, have driven innovation and made significant progress towards achieving greater durability. This partnership has made it possible for people to use our products with confidence and peace of mind.”

Corning® Gorilla® Armor represents a paradigm shift in smartphone cover materials. With a remarkable 75% reduction in reflection compared to typical glass surfaces, this technology significantly improves display readability and minimizes screen reflections across diverse environments. The innovation in Gorilla Armor optimizes the durability of the Galaxy S24 Ultra, showcasing superior performance in Corning lab tests when compared to competitive aluminosilicate cover glasses.

Corning's unique "Scratch Bot" lab test, specifically designed to replicate micro scratches from everyday wear, demonstrated Gorilla Armor's exceptional scratch resistance. With no visible scratches and over four times more scratch resistance than competing aluminosilicate cover glasses, this new cover material sets a new standard for durability in smartphone displays.

Moreover, Gorilla Armor incorporates an average of 25% pre-consumer recycled content, aligning with sustainable practices and environmental consciousness. Validated by UL Solutions according to UL2809-2 Environmental Claim Validation Procedure (ECVP) for Recycled Content, this eco-friendly approach adds an extra layer of appeal to the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

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

As the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra pushes the boundaries of smartphone technology, the integration of Corning® Gorilla® Armor reflects a commitment to longevity, visual excellence, and environmental responsibility. Stay tuned for the official release, where users can embrace a smartphone experience that seamlessly combines durability and crystal-clear visuals.
