Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra drop test

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra's Gorilla Armor 2 glass seems to scratch easier than the Galaxy S24 Ultra's original Gorilla Armor, but glass that scratches easier can generally withstand shocks better - it's always a case of optimizing for one or the other.

So, with that in mind, does the Gorilla Armor 2 in the S25 Ultra protect it from shocks? Specifically, drops. That's what the video below aims to find out, with a series of drop tests onto concrete.

The frame does show scrapes and debris from the first test, but the scrapes aren't really very bad. Just in case you couldn't watch the video, let's spoil it for you: the phone's glass survives multiple drops onto concrete unscathed.

Of course, if you drop your phone, it probably won't be in such a controlled way, so your mileage could still vary with regard to whether the glass survives or not. But, with all that said, Gorilla Armor 2 does seem to be incredibly drop-resistant just as advertised.
