Galaxy Ultras haven't need screen protectors since the Note9 at the latest. Gorilla Glass is the real deal. Speaking as someone who owned a Note9 and currently has both an S24U and iPhone 15+. Guess which one of those has screen scratch? It's not the Galaxy. Apple's refusal to compete on screen durability is puzzling.
One of the most compelling upgrades to the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra may be the glass protecting its display. According to the latest information from a leaker, the new glass will not only enable Samsung's new Privacy Display feature but also deliver improvements in other areas.
