Samsung Electronics and glass wizards Corning Incorporated have just announced a rather interesting new development for the upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge. The highly anticipated phone will be the first to feature Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, a brand-new glass for smartphones engineered to deliver top-notch protection in what Samsung is teasing as its ‘slimmest Galaxy S series device yet’. It sounds like a perfect marriage of sleek design and serious toughness.

This isn't just your average screen upgrade; Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 apparently takes the legendary resilience of Gorilla Glass and cranks it up a notch, thanks to a new formulation. The material features crystals intricately embedded within its glass matrix, a design choice aimed at significantly enhancing durability and the screen's ability to deflect cracks. Corning also uses its ion exchange process to further fortify the glass ceramic, improving its retained strength while still maintaining high optical transparency; so your display should look great and be tough.
While details on the full specs of the Galaxy S25 Edge are still under wraps, the promise of advanced protection from this new glass ceramic on an ultra-slim phone is certainly an intriguing one.For those eager to learn more about the Galaxy S25 Edge itself, Samsung will be livestreaming its launch event on Samsung’s YouTube channel on May 13th at 5:30 a.m. IST.
