The Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 is the latest innovation from Corning, created to meet the evolving demands of flagship smartphone durability without compromising on sleekness. It features crystals embedded within the glass matrix, enhancing both crack deflection and damage resistance.
Gorilla Glass Ceramic offers significantly improved drop protection on rough surfaces compared to traditional aluminosilicate glass. In Corning’s lab tests, the new material survived 10 consecutive drops from a height of one meter onto surfaces mimicking asphalt, whereas standard aluminosilicate glass often failed on the very first drop. This advancement further strengthens Corning’s portfolio of durable cover materials, providing OEMs with more robust solutions for premium smartphones.
Samsung’s slimmest Galaxy yet!
According to Samsung’s EVP Kwangjin Bae, the Galaxy S25 Edge will be the slimmest Galaxy S series phone ever, blending advanced engineering with a user-first design philosophy. The phone’s premium body will showcase the Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 to protect its stunning display without adding bulk.
Bae explained, “To support this breakthrough design, it was essential to develop a display material that was both exceptionally thin and reliably strong — a challenge that brought Corning and Samsung together.”
What does Corning say?
Andrew Beck, Vice President and General Manager of Gorilla Glass at Corning, highlighted that this partnership reflects the companies’ commitment to modern durability. He said, “With Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, we’ve achieved a remarkable combination of thinness and strength, giving consumers the best of both worlds.”
