Samsung Electronics and Corning Incorporated<\/a> (NYSE: GLW) today announced that Galaxy S24 Ultra<\/a> devices will feature Corning\u2019s new Corning\u00ae Gorilla\u00ae 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cCorning\u2019s Gorilla\u00ae Glass, together with the Galaxy S series<\/a>, have driven innovation and made significant progress towards achieving greater durability,\u201d said Kwangjin Bae, EVP and Head of the Mechanical R&D Team, Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. \u201cThis partnership has made it possible for people to use our products with confidence and peace of mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

Corning\u00ae Gorilla\u00ae 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<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Corning\u2019s new cover material optimizes durability on the Galaxy S24 Ultra<\/a>. In Corning lab tests, Gorilla Armor demonstrated superior durability when compared against competitive aluminosilicate cover glasses.2<\/a><\/sup> To measure its exceptional scratch resistance, Corning created a new lab test \u2014 the \u201cScratch Bot\u201d \u2014 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.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The launch of Galaxy S24 Ultra phones<\/a> with Gorilla Armor follows a celebratory year for Samsung and Corning. Last year marked 50 years of industry-leading partnership for the companies. Samsung and Corning first partnered in 1973 to make televisions more accessible to consumers in Korea.<\/p>\n

This same spirit of collaboration has been carried through half a century. Corning\u00ae Gorilla\u00ae Glass has been featured on countless Samsung devices, from some of the earliest Galaxy smartphones to the most recent, including the Galaxy S23 Series<\/a>, Galaxy Z Fold5<\/a>, and Galaxy Z Flip5<\/a>, which all use Corning\u00ae Gorilla\u00ae Glass Victus\u00ae 2. The launch of Galaxy S24 Ultra devices with Gorilla Armor continues this longstanding relationship dedicated to creating world class innovations vital to the mobile consumer electronics industry.<\/p>\n
