Samsung’s next Ultra phone could make scratched screens a thing of the past
The Galaxy S27 Ultra could ship with display glass that heals its own micro-scratches, according to a new leak.
Scratched screens are a minor inconvenience that has yet to find a permanent solution. According to a tipster, Samsung and Corning may be set to change this with the Galaxy S27 Ultra. The tipster, who goes by @phonefuturist online, suggests both companies are collaborating on an advanced Gorilla Armor coating designed to not only prevent scratches but also heal them over time.
This innovative approach contrasts with the current trend of making glass more resistant to scratches. If successful, Samsung could market the S27 Ultra as a self-healing display, capable of recovering from scratches rather than merely resisting them. The Galaxy S27 series, as revealed by the same source, will launch early next year.
The base model could start at $899, including a 50MP + 12MP + 10MP camera setup and Samsung’s M14 panel. The mid-range S27 Plus will match the specifications at $1,099, while the Pro variant will cost $1,299 and boast a 200MP + 50MP + 12MP camera. The Ultra, with its highest price tag of $1,499, will feature a 200MP + 50MP + 50MP camera system and the cutting-edge "M16 E7" display.
Design-wise, the Pro will undergo a significant transformation, featuring a thinner, Edge-inspired look, while the Ultra will adopt a similar design with minor adjustments. Competitors like Apple are also considering modest price increases for their flagship devices, but Samsung and Google may keep the prices in check, thanks to the competition.
