Samsung debuted its latest-generation flagship Galaxy S24 series last night. The smartphones come with several upgrades packed with AI features compared to their predecessors. Notably, the top-end Galaxy S24 Ultra is equipped with a titanium frame for durability. In addition to that, Corning also announced the Gorilla Glass Armor and the S24 Ultra is the first phone to adopt it. 

Gorilla Glass Armor debuts on the Galaxy S24 Ultra 

Samsung and Corning have been industry partners for over 50 years. Gorilla Glass has been adopted by a host of smartphone brands on their devices. With the latest Gorilla Armor, Corning is doing away from the ‘Glass’ in the moniker. It succeeds the previous Gorilla Glass Victus 2. The Gorilla Armor is layered on the latest Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. 

Corning says that the Gorilla Armor is a different kind of smartphone cover material. The panel is made up of 25 percent pre-consumer recycled content. Samsung claims that the Gorilla Armor on the S24 Ultra offers a combination of durability and visual clarity. It is also a lot different to the normal standard glass found on smartphones. The Gorilla Armor is touted to reduce reflections by up to 75 percent. This should enhance readability and minimize screen reflections in almost any environment. 

On the durability front in Corning lab tests, the Gorilla Armor displayed superior results compared to aluminosilicate cover glasses. The company also developed a new Scratch Bot lab test to monitor the micro scratches caused due to daily wear. The Gorilla Armor offers a better and up to four times resistance to scratches compared to the previous iterations. 

Owing to the titanium frame and Gorilla Armor, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra has a robust durability. We can expect durability tests (especially JerryRigEverything’s intense torture test) of the device in the coming weeks that should let us verify Corning’s claims.
