Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge to Get Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 Protection

In a press release, Samsung confirmed that the Galaxy S25 Edge handset will use Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 display protection. The company said that the Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 has "crystals embedded within its glass matrix, which is said to improve "the durability and crack resistance of the display cover."

The South Korean tech giant further explains that the "combination of glass and crystal components" in the Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 is meant to enhance toughness "while maintaining high optical transparency." The ion exchange process Corning uses is said to strengthen the glass ceramic material more and increase the damage resistance capability of the glass cover.
