Galaxy S25 Edge Gets Tougher with Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2

Samsung is taking a bold step in smartphone design. The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge will be the slimmest Galaxy S series phone ever made. But there’s more to this sleek design than meets the eye. For the first time, Samsung is using Corning’s new Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 to improve durability without compromising on style.

Why This Glass Matters

Corning is known for making glass that resists drops and scratches. Now, it brings a new kind of material—Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2. This isn’t just regular glass. It has tiny crystals built into it, which helps the phone handle cracks better and stay clear for viewing.

Samsung says this was key in making the Galaxy S25 Edge so slim without making it fragile. The new glass lets Samsung design a thinner phone without the usual risks of breakage.

A Joint Effort in Smartphone Engineering

Samsung and Corning worked closely to build something that balances strength and beauty. This glass is not only tougher, but also clearer, thanks to a special process that mixes glass with ceramic crystals. The result? A screen that looks great and holds up better when life happens.

Samsung’s Kwangjin Bae, head of mechanical R&D, says the challenge was to make a thin phone that didn’t break easily. Corning helped meet that challenge by developing a material that fits the slim design while still protecting the screen.

What Users Can Expect

For buyers, this could mean fewer screen cracks from daily drops. The Galaxy S25 Edge is likely to feel lighter and more premium, but its durability will be tested over time.

The glass sounds promising on paper, but real-world use will be the real test. While this new Gorilla Glass aims to be strong, it may still face scratches or damage with heavy use. Users who often drop their phones should still consider cases for full protection.

Launch Event Details

Samsung will officially launch the Galaxy S25 Edge on May 13 at 9 a.m. KST (May 12 in the U.S.). The event will stream live on Samsung’s YouTube channel.

We’ll know more about the phone’s performance, battery life, and price at the launch. For now, the big news is its thin body with stronger glass, making it a key release in Samsung’s 2025 lineup.
