The recent drop tests of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra from a height of 6 feet revealed significant weaknesses, especially when dropped face-down, resulting in a shattered display that rendered the phone unusable. While the titanium frame held up against side drops, sustaining only minor damage, the back glass broke upon being dropped rear-down yet still functioned. These results contrast with Corning's claims about the durability of Gorilla Armor 2, highlighting the importance of protective cases for users prone to high drops.
When dropped front-down, the glass on top of the screen shattered, and the display stopped working completely, rendering the handset unusable.
When dropped on its side, the titanium frame took some dents and scratches but was otherwise intact, and the buttons remained fully functional.
Corning claims the Gorilla Armor 2 used in the Galaxy S25 Ultra will survive drops from up to 2.2 m (7 feet 2 inches), and it tested this with a 'concrete-like' surface.
Your Galaxy S25 Ultra will probably be fine when dropped from lower heights, but if you know you're prone to dropping it from up high, then it's probably best to use a good protective case.
