samsung has unveiled an impressive new display feature with the Galaxy S24 Ultra, and it has only gotten better with the Galaxy S25 Ultra. the screen of the Galaxy S25 Ultra is protected by corning Gorilla Armor 2, wich offers enhanced protection compared to standard Gorilla Glass found on many smartphones.
The Gorilla Armor series first appeared in last year’s Galaxy S24 Ultra. It introduced anti-reflective qualities that reportedly reduce surface reflections by up to 75%. This upgrade substantially improved visibility in bright conditions and increased durability.It boasts over four times better scratch resistance and three times better drop resistance than other similar glass types.
Despite these advancements, some users noted issues with washed-out colors and less vivid displays on the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Over time, its screen seemed more prone to permanent smudges than earlier models. Samsung seems to have taken this feedback seriously. With the launch of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, they have worked to enhance the overall screen experience. After using this phone since its release in January, I beleive every smartphone should incorporate this feature.
The Ultimate Smartphone Display
According to a post from Samsung Newsroom, “Gorilla Armor 2’s anti-reflective properties greatly minimize surface reflections both indoors and outdoors.” This is one marketing claim I wholeheartedly support.
If you’ve ever used an iPhone outside on a sunny day, you know how reflective its screen can be—turning it into a mirror that highlights smudges and fingerprints. Even at peak brightness levels of 2,000 nits, glare can make reading difficult. You frequently enough find yourself tilting or turning your phone just to see text or images clearly; brightness doesn’t always guarantee visibility.
This issue does not exist with the Galaxy S25 Ultra's display. Its large 6.9-inch screen remains easy to read even under harsh lighting conditions without needing awkward adjustments or hand shading for clarity. Whether checking emails outside or watching videos indoors under bright lights, using this phone feels more natural and less straining on your eyes.
The display quality of the Galaxy S25 Ultra surpasses that of its predecessor as well; it offers sharper visuals that remain clear even in brightly lit rooms where glare usually becomes problematic for other devices. this betterment may not show up in technical benchmarks but experiencing it makes returning to standard displays challenging.
Samsung has ensured that enhancing anti-reflectivity did not compromise durability either; they state that “Gorilla Armor 2 provides improved toughness—devices equipped with it are better suited for everyday challenges.”
This upgraded glass can withstand drops from heights up to 2.2 meters onto concrete surfaces without damage reported during my use; after accidentally dropping my device twice from waist height, there were no visible issues at all! In three months of usage so far, I haven’t seen any lasting smudges or scratches—a welcome change considering some users faced long-term problems with their previous model's screens.
A Call for More Anti-Reflective Screens
While most flagship Android phones and iPhones utilize specialized protective glass today (2025), none offer features like those found in Gorilla Armor 2’s anti-reflective technology yet samsung limits this innovation solely within their premium S-series lineup currently available on market shelves today!
I hope we see Gorilla Armor 2 expand across more models within Samsung's lineup soon—and perhaps Apple will take notice when developing future versions such as Ceramic shield for upcoming iPhone releases!
This isn’t just another flashy specification listed among others—it won’t boost performance scores nor headline product launches—but it genuinely enhances daily user experiences significantly! Whether texting outdoors under sunlight scrolling through content inside while dealing overhead lighting distractions: everything works smoother thanks largely due improvements made here!
