Made from a glass ceramic cover material for mobile use, 'Corning Gorilla Armor 2' is characterized by a clear screen and durability.


In particular, compared to the first-generation product 'Corning Gorilla Armor,' its durability has been enhanced to withstand damage such as breakage even when dropped on rough surfaces. In Corning's internal tests, a model equipped with 'Gorilla Armor 2' was dropped from a height of up to 2.2 meters onto a concrete-like surface without damage. In contrast, an alternative glass ceramic model broke even from a height of 1 meter.


It is also highly resistant to scratches, reducing the occurrence of marks that can happen during daily life. Internal test results show that 'Gorilla Armor 2' has more than four times superior scratch resistance compared to general lithium-aluminosilicate cover glass with anti-reflective properties.


With its anti-reflective feature, it reduces surface reflections in indoor and outdoor environments and enhances the display's contrast ratio. Because of this, users can see a clear screen even under sunlight.


Baek Gwang-jin, head of the mechanical development team at Samsung Electronics MX Division, said, "The partnership between Samsung Electronics and Corning has led technological innovation," adding, "Based on enhanced durability, it provides a new product experience."


David Velasquez, Vice President and General Manager of Corning's Mobile Consumer Electronics Division, stated, "'Gorilla Armor 2' offers an innovative user experience through excellent optical performance and durability superior to any material applied to previous Galaxy mobile devices."



Meanwhile, Samsung Electronics and Corning have maintained a partnership for over 50 years, starting with the establishment of a joint venture in 1973 for the distribution of TVs in Korea.
