A very interesting new rumor just surfaced, concerning Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S flagship. Based on this, the Galaxy S27 Ultra could end up featuring a display that can remove scratches on its own… kind of.
The Galaxy S27 Ultra’s display could be able to heal its own scratches
The information comes from @phonefuturist aka Schrodinger, a tipster. He claims that Samsung and Corning are working on a new self-healing surface coating for the next generation of Gorilla Armor display protection.
New Gorilla Armor protection usually debuts on the Galaxy S Ultra series. The post says that the goal of this new coating is to allow the surface to recover from certain levels of everyday micro-scratching. This is seen as the way to go, as making the glass harder won’t help with that.
He also mentions that Samsung could start using the term scratch recovery instead of scratch resistance for the next-gen Gorilla Armor glass, if this report ends up being true.
The Gorilla Armor first came into existence with the Galaxy S24 Ultra
As a reminder, the Gorilla Armor glass debuted with the Galaxy S24 Ultra years ago. It has an anti-reflective coating, and it actually worked really well. Both the Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy S26 Ultra ended up using the Gorilla Armor 2 protection.
Along the way, Samsung also introduced the ‘Privacy Display’ feature, which helps keep your content private from shoulder surfers when you’re out and about.
The next step on Samsung’s journey to improve display use and add utility seems to be the self-recovery from micro scratches. If you don’t use screen protectors, chances are you’re familiar with those.
The tipster does specifically mention the Galaxy S27 Ultra as the phone to debut this new glass technology, so it could end up happening. As a reminder, that phone is tipped to arrive in the first quarter of next year. It will arrive alongside the Galaxy S27, Galaxy S27 Plus, and Galaxy S27 Pro.
