Gorilla Armor provides not only superior anti-reflective properties but also a higher scratch resistance. You may have heard how, unlike most other phones, the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s screen doesn’t scratch at level 6 in Mohs’ Hardness Test.
But speaking of those anti-reflective properties, the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s screen is truly impressive, especially when you compare it side-by-side with another phone that doesn’t have Gorilla Armor display protection.
In fact, the S24 Ultra’s Gorilla Armor is so anti-reflective that it will change the way you use your phone in very unexpected ways.
No more using the phone’s reflective screen as a mirror
Laugh all you want, but we’ve all done it. At one point or another — and maybe more often than you might think — we’ve all looked at our phones’ powered-off screens and used them as makeshift mirrors to check if our hair is right or whatever the case may be.
Yes, we all know we could use the phone’s selfie camera to do that, but for some reason (maybe convenience or second nature), we often prefer to just look back at our reflections on a phone’s reflective glass.
Well, the Galaxy S24 Ultra does away with that. In fact, the entire Galaxy S24 series, with its full-screen Always-on-Display, kind of ruins our makeshift mirrors. But the Galaxy S24 Ultra, featuring the anti-reflective Gorilla Armor screen, does it more than any other.
In any case, you probably never thought about this, but if you ever pick up the Galaxy S24 Ultra and start using it as your daily phone, you might be surprised to realize how often you may have used your other phone’s reflective screen as a quick mirror in the past. You’ll know it once you miss it.
Inevitably, the Galaxy S24 Ultra will make you break this unusual habit, assuming you have unknowingly developed it over years of using smartphones with reflective screens. And we wouldn’t say it’s a good or a bad thing. It just is. It’s an unexpected side effect of a tech improvement, and it is one we never thought we’d face.
