Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra: The Toughest Screen Yet

Want a phone that can take a beating? Meet the Galaxy S25 Ultra. This year, Samsung is kitting it out with Corning's latest Gorilla Armor 2 screen. This isn't just any glass; it's a blend of glass and ceramic that's super tough. So tough, in fact, that Samsung saw a 60% drop in screen repairs with the previous model. But what's the big deal about Gorilla Armor 2? It's not just durable; it's also anti-reflective. That means no more squinting at your screen in bright sunlight. Plus, it's exclusive to the S25 Ultra. That's right, no other phone gets this cool feature this year.Why? Well, it's pricey to make. Corning can't crank out enough for all the flagship phones. That's good news for Samsung, but not so great for the competition. The S25 Ultra is up for pre-order today and starts shipping on February 7. It won't come cheap, though. The base model with 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM starts at $1, 299. Sorry, 16GB RAM fans, that model's not coming to the US.
