The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is equipped with the new Gorilla Armor 2 glass, promising remarkable drop resistance, tested to survive falls from 2.2 meters. However, independent testing reveals that while the previous S24 Ultra scratched at Mohs level 7, the S25 Ultra only withstands a level 6 scratch. This may be due to an emphasis on drop resistance, which compromises scratch resistance. Despite this, the S25 Ultra addresses display issues from its predecessor, maintaining important features like anti-reflective properties, showcasing Samsung's balancing act of consumer demands.
In testing, the Galaxy S25 Ultra's Gorilla Armor 2 glass scratched at a Mohs level 6, while the older S24 Ultra scratched at level 7.
The new Armor 2 glass prioritizes drop resistance over scratch resistance, indicating a trade-off that may affect user satisfaction.
Samsung has improved anti-reflective properties and addressed issues with low brightness graininess in the S25 Ultra, but scratch resistance is now a concern.
Striking a balance between scratch and shatter resistance is crucial, reflecting the diverse preferences of consumers in the smartphone market.
