Samsung Electronics and Corning Incorporated have joined forces to redefine smartphone durability with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, featuring the revolutionary Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2. Announced today, this cutting-edge glass ceramic delivers unparalleled protection in an ultra-thin form factor, setting a new benchmark for premium smartphones. Launched as the slimmest Galaxy S series device yet, the S25 Edge combines elegance with resilience, unveiled on May 13, 2025.
Next-Level Durability with Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2
Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 builds on the legendary toughness of Corning Gorilla Glass, integrating advanced technology for enhanced durability. The material features crystals intricately embedded within its glass matrix, improving crack deflection and overall strength. Corning’s ion exchange process further fortifies the glass, ensuring exceptional damage resistance while maintaining high optical transparency for a crystal-clear display.
With Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, we’ve achieved a remarkable combination of thinness and strength, giving consumers the best of both worlds—exceptional durability in a modern, sleek, and premium design, said Andrew Beck, Vice President and General Manager at Corning Gorilla Glass. This innovation ensures the Galaxy S25 Edge can withstand everyday mishaps, making it ideal for users seeking both style and reliability.
Elevating the Galaxy S25 Edge Experience
The Galaxy S25 Edge, hailed as Samsung’s thinnest S series device, embodies meticulous craftsmanship.
To support this breakthrough design, it was essential to develop a display material that was both exceptionally thin and reliably strong—a challenge that brought Corning and Samsung together, said Kwangjin Bae, EVP and Head of the Mechanical R&D Team at Samsung Electronics.
The Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 cover enhances the phone’s sleek 5.8mm profile, delivering a premium aesthetic without compromising durability. By combining Corning’s glass technology with Samsung’s proprietary reinforcement techniques, the S25 Edge offers a display that’s both robust and visually stunning, perfect for high-end users who demand performance and elegance.
A Legacy of Innovation
The collaboration between Samsung and Corning underscores their commitment to pushing mobile engineering boundaries. Corning, a 170-year innovator in materials science, continues to transform industries with its expertise in glass and ceramic technologies. The Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 on the Galaxy S25 Edge exemplifies this shared vision, offering consumers a device that’s as durable as it is sophisticated.
