In a groundbreaking collaboration, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and Corning Incorporated have joined forces once again to bring us the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, featuring Corning's latest innovation - the Corning® Gorilla® Armor cover material. This partnership aims to set new standards of durability and visual clarity in the world of smartphones.
The introduction of Gorilla Armor on the Galaxy S24 Ultra offers users an unparalleled combination of strength and visual experience. Corning's Gorilla Armor cover material boasts incredible scratch resistance, making it the toughest and most durable glass option available for smartphones today. In fact, Corning put Gorilla Armor to the test in their lab, using a special device called the 'Scratch Bot' to replicate the micro-scratches that occur during everyday use. The results were astonishing - Gorilla Armor showed no visible scratches and proved to be over four times more scratch-resistant than other aluminosilicate cover glasses on the market.
Not only does Gorilla Armor offer exceptional durability, but it also enhances the visual experience on the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Corning's new cover material reduces reflection by up to 75%, making it easier to read the display in sunlight and minimizing screen reflections in any environment. This means users can enjoy a crystal-clear and immersive viewing experience no matter where they are.
What's more, Gorilla Armor is also environmentally friendly. It contains an average of 25% pre-consumer recycled content, validated by UL Solutions in accordance with UL2809-2 Environmental Claim Validation Procedure (ECVP) for Recycled Content. This demonstrates Corning's commitment to sustainability and reducing waste in the manufacturing process.
The partnership between Samsung and Corning is not new. They have been working together for over 50 years, constantly striving to deliver innovative and cutting-edge technologies to consumers. Corning's Gorilla Glass has been a staple in Samsung devices, from the earliest Galaxy smartphones to the latest models like the Galaxy S23 Series, Galaxy Z Fold5, and Galaxy Z Flip5, all of which feature Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2. The launch of the Galaxy S24 Ultra with Gorilla Armor is a testament to the long-standing relationship between these two industry leaders and their dedication to pushing boundaries and creating world-class innovations for the mobile consumer electronics industry.
Corning's vice president and general manager, David Velasquez, expressed his excitement about this latest collaboration, stating, 'Gorilla Armor brings Corning's research and engineering prowess together with Samsung's consumer-centric design and focus on user experience. This latest innovation simultaneously addresses both the need for durability and our increasing need for better optics - bringing the mobile phone experience of the future into the present.'
With the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and its Corning Gorilla Armor, users can enjoy unmatched durability and visual clarity, ensuring a seamless and immersive smartphone experience. This groundbreaking collaboration between Samsung and Corning is poised to redefine the standards of smartphone durability in the industry, setting a new benchmark for future flagship devices.
