Samsung & Corning Reinvent Smartphone Glass for the Galaxy S25 Edge

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge will include Corning’s Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 on top of its display. The company confirmed as much. Samsung says that this glass will offer “enhanced durability”.

In its press release, Samsung said that this glass “further extends the legendary toughness that Corning Gorilla Glass is known for.” The company added that the Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 cover on the Galaxy S25 Edge delivers a “sleek yet strong design.”

Kwangjin Bae, EVP and Head of the Mechanical R&D Team of Mobile eXperience Business (MX) at Samsung Electronics said: “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, united by a shared vision for purposeful engineering and user-centric innovation. That vision is embedded in every detail of Galaxy S25 Edge.”

The Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 features crystals intricately embedded within its glass matrix. That enhances its durability and crack deflection capabilities. Samsung said that the synergy between the glass and crystal components is engineered to provide improved toughness while retaining high optical transparency.

This glass is more damage-resistant

Corning’s ion exchange helps fortify the glass ceramic material and improves retained strength. That all makes the Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 more damage-resistant.

The whole point of this glass was to achieve a “remarkable combination of fitness and strength”, said Andrew Beck, Vice President and General Manager at Corning Gorilla Glass.
