Fear Not: Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge Is Getting a Slender but Mighty Display

A new Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 cover brings a «sleek yet strong design,» according to Samsung.

If you’re eyeing the super-thin Galaxy S25 Edge but are anxious about bending your screen, Samsung says not to worry. The company is teaming up with Corning to incorporate a new glass ceramic display, called Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, into the upcoming device, the companies said Thursday.

Samsung is gearing up to unveil the Galaxy S25 Edge, a thinner version of its current flagship lineup, on Monday during a virtual Unpacked event. It first teased the S25 Edge in January, and so far has only shown models of the phone at events, including the Galaxy Unpacked event in January and Mobile World Congress in March (observers could only look, not touch).

Details on the upcoming phone have been slim, though there have been plenty of rumors on everything from the cameras to battery life to storage. But on Wednesday, Samsung confirmed the phone will have a 200-megapixel wide camera. And now, it’s sharing details about the display.

«Combining Corning’s advanced glass technology with Samsung’s proprietary processing and reinforcement technologies, the Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 cover on the Galaxy S25 Edge delivers a sleek yet strong design on Samsung’s slimmest S series device yet,» Samsung said in a statement.

Samsung’s virtual Unpacked event will take place on Monday, May 12, at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT). It will be livestreamed on Samsung’s YouTube channel, Samsung.com and the Samsung Newsroom. CNET will cover the launch, so be sure to follow along.

Customers who preorder the Galaxy S25 Edge can get a $50 Samsung credit to use toward the device.
