Galaxy S26 Ultra could debut a new high-strength Gorilla Glass
The Galaxy S26 Ultra is rumored to sport an upgraded display with features such as Privacy Display. Now, a new leak suggests that the screen will come with improved protection as well.
According to prolific leaker Ice Universe, the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s display will get a new generation ‘high-strength’ Gorilla Glass.
Anti-reflective coating on the Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy S24 Ultra.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra already uses an anti-reflective display coating that largely removes the need for matte screen protectors. Now, the rumored Privacy Display feature on the Galaxy S26 Ultra could make privacy films redundant as well.
According to the tipster, the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s new high-strength Gorilla Glass may also eliminate the need for a tempered glass protector altogether.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to debut next month, powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC.

Any modern higher end phone screen is more resistant than a glass screen protector. They can help to protect a screen from breaking though, at least to some extent. But for scratch resistances we are long past tempered glass protectors

There are no scratches when you use a glass screen protector which is a necessity to prevent the display from cracking when dropped.
