Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra’da Corning Gorilla Armor 2 is shown as one of the biggest upgrades of the phone. Looking at the data on paper, this new material seems to be a really big development compared to the original Gorilla Armor, which is used by the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. However, a new durability test suggests that the truth can be a little more complex.

As reported by Phone Arena, Jerryrigeverything has released a video that tested the durability of the Galaxy S25 Ultra in various ways. An interesting detail they found in these tests was that the phone screen was scratched at the sixth level of the MOHS hardness scale (a system used to measure scratch resistance).

Although this level is similar to many other senior phones, the Galaxy S24 Ultra had not been drawn to the seventh level in the same test. In other words, the Galaxy S25 Ultra seems to be more easily drawn than the previous version of Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Although Jerryrigeverything does not offer a definite answer for this, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra says that the glass in Ultra can be much more fragile. Increasing the resistance to scratch usually requires making the glass harder, which can increase the likelihood of disintegration when it is reduced. Therefore, Corning and Samsung may have decided that increasing the resistance to fall by sacrificing some of the scratching resistance is a better balance.

However, Corning states that the resistance to falling compared to the original Gorilla Armor has been improved, while “Gorilla Armor 2 remains extraordinary scratch resistance”.

That is, for any reason, the results of Jerryrigeverything can be extreme values. However, even if the glass in the Galaxy S25 Ultra is really more prone to scratching, it can be said that the probability of breaking is probably an acceptable and even desired concession.
