Samsung’s latest offering, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, pushes the boundaries of smartphone technology with its groundbreaking display protection—Corning® Gorilla® Armor 2.

This first-of-its-kind glass ceramic material promises to set new standards in scratch resistance and durability for mobile devices.

Gorilla Armor 2 introduces a remarkable level of toughness, crafted to endure the unpredictable nature of daily life.

Unlike its predecessor, this advanced material boasts an improved ability to resist breakage, especially when dropped on challenging surfaces.

Corning’s lab tests revealed that Gorilla Armor 2 can withstand drops from as high as 2.2 meters onto a concrete-like surface—a feat that surpasses many other materials in its class.

What’s more, it remains resistant to scratches, offering more than four times the protection compared to alternative cover glasses on the market.

As Anthony Hutia, Head of Mobile Experience at Samsung Electronics East Africa, emphasised, "Samsung Electronics is committed to delivering cutting-edge innovation that enhances the everyday experiences of customers. This collaboration with Corning reinforces Samsung’s promise to provide premium, resilient devices that meet the evolving needs of dynamic and connected consumers."

This partnership between the two tech giants is more than just about a durable screen; it’s about creating a mobile experience that stays intact no matter what life throws at it.

Beyond toughness, Gorilla Armor 2 introduces an anti-reflective coating that reduces glare in both indoor and outdoor lighting conditions.

Users can expect clearer, more vivid visuals, whether under the midday sun or in dimly lit spaces.

This enhancement in display quality promises an unparalleled viewing experience that stands up to the harshest of environments.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra is now available for pre-order in Kenya, with the 12GB + 512GB model priced at Sh188,400, and the 12GB + 256GB model at Sh172,800.

The S25 Plus and Base variants are also available at competitive prices, starting at Sh132,000 for the 12GB + 256GB version of the S25 Plus, and Sh108,300 for the 8GB + 128GB S25 Base.

Pre-orders were open from Thursday last week and will run until February 16, 2025, through authorised Samsung retailers and e-commerce platforms.

Customers who secure their devices early will receive double storage at no additional cost, along with Sh5,000 cashback when using Loop.

With this new launch, Samsung continues its tradition of delivering resilient and forward-thinking devices that meet the needs of an increasingly connected world, offering both durability and cutting-edge features in one sleek package.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra is not just a smartphone; it’s a testament to innovation and durability in the palm of your hand.
