This brand-new type of display protection has been developed by Samsung in partnership with Corning, and this will mark the first commercial use of the new glass protection. Corning announced Glass Ceramic in March, and it is capable of surviving 10 repeated drops from a meter onto a surface like asphalt.

Interaction between the glass and crystal components is engineered to enhance toughness while maintaining high optical transparency.

Samsung hasn’t confirmed if Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 is stronger than Gorilla Glass Ceramic, or is it just a reengineered version for the sleek phone like Galaxy S25 Edge.
“Galaxy S25 Edge will set a new standard for craftsmanship and performance. To support this breakthrough design, it was essential to develop a display material that was both exceptionally thin and reliably strong,” says Kwnagjin Bae, EVP & Head of Mechanical R&D at Samsung’s MX Division.
Corning claims that Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 will offer better durability due to the company’s ion-exchange strengthening process. “With Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, we’ve achieved a remarkable combination of thinness and strength. The craftsmanship of Galaxy S25 Edge with Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 underscores our commitment to durability in premium mobile design”, says Andrew Beck, VP & GM of Corning Gorilla Glass.
