One of the many, many leaks regarding the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge was that it would be using Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2. It was notable due to the fact that the first Gorilla Glass Ceramic was released not too long ago. But it looks like this specific leak was accurate after all, as the South Korean tech giant has just confirmed the use of the material in a new press release.
In it, the company mentioned the importance of making “a display material that was both exceptionally thins and reliably strong” for the new, extra thin phone. Describing the new material, Samsung says that the Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 “features crystals intricately embedded within its glass matrix, enhancing the durability and crack deflection capabilities”. Though it’s unclear if it provides better protection than what came before, or a similar performance with a thinner piece of glass.
On the surface, no pun intended, the Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 is made specifically for thin devices like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. That being the case, it also remains to be seen if it’s a material that will be found in future thin phones or if it’s something that the company has a monopoly over.
At any rate, the company has also confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is getting an online launch on 13 May. We’ll have to wait until then for all of the previously leaked specs to be confirmed or denied.
