The Galaxy S24 Ultra, released a year ago, was Samsung's first phone to boast the Gorilla Armor anti-reflective display treatment. And it worked wonders. Gorilla Armor is no gimmick and makes displays stronger and much easier to read in bright environments.
As you probably know, the rest of the S24 series didn't have this perk last year. We hoped the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ would catch up in 2025, but they haven't.
The new Galaxy S25 Ultra boasts new and improved Gorilla Armor 2 display protection, which Corning says delivers higher resistance and better anti-reflective properties.
However, the base Galaxy S25 and the Galaxy S25+ don't enjoy this luxury. They use the same display protection as their predecessors. The base and Plus models have Gorilla Glass Victus 2 at the front and back.
Victus 2 is the latest solution from Corning if you don't count Gorilla Armor and Armor 2, which are kind of their own thing. Victus 2 is a great display solution for what it is, but it doesn't have the Gorilla Armor's anti-reflective capabilities.
For now, the anti-reflective display remains exclusive to the Ultra models. Whether this will change in the future is unknown. But if you were wondering about the S25 and S25+, now you know.
Is this a deal-breaker for anyone looking to upgrade? Probably not, especially if they're replacing a Galaxy S flagship older than 2024. Nevertheless, the lack of Gorilla Armor is one more thing that makes the S25 and S25+ a tad too similar to their predecessors from last year.
