Last updated: February 7th, 2025 at 14:08 UTC+01:00 Shortly after Samsung announced the Galaxy S25 Ultra at Unpacked in San Francisco, the company issued a press release citing a Corning laboratory test. The gist was that the new Gorilla Armor 2 solution, used for the front and back of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, is highly resistant against drops. Corning said the material can survive falls of up to 2.2 meters (7.2 feet).
In a recent video, independent YouTuber PBKreviews tried to put that claim to the test by dropping the Galaxy S25 Ultra on concrete at different angles. The results are truly impressive.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra survived without major damage. In fact, the impact with the concrete barely left any marks on the phone. After a few drops, the screen and back panel were in perfect condition, and the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s new grade 5 titanium frame had only a few scratches and minor dents.
Galaxy S25 Ultra outperformed the S24 Ultra
In another drop test last year, the Galaxy S24 Ultra performed similarly but did suffer a small crack across one of its corners from the first drop.
Does this mean the Galaxy S25 Ultra is more resistant to drops than its predecessor? It certainly looks like it, but there is always a degree of randomness and luck to these types of drop tests. One tiny pebble or change in angle can always change the outcome.
Nevertheless, Corning did dial back the anti-scratch capabilities of Armor 2 compared to the original Armor, resulting in the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s screen being less scratch-resistant than the S24 Ultra’s. And in turn, this may have improved drop resistance.
As we mentioned yesterday, there’s always a trade-off between drop and scratch resistance, and glass manufacturers have to walk a fine line and decide which property they should prioritize.
All in all, the Galaxy S25 Ultra appears to have been built with extreme care and looks almost indestructible. It also helps that the phone has completely flat panels at the front and back, which makes the glass less vulnerable.
