Is the Samsung Galaxy S23 scratch proof? This is a sensible question to ask as this is a smartphone that costs a lot of money. Samsung is known for creating outstanding displays; the company uses its latest and greatest on the flagship S series devices, the Super AMOLED display.

The Super AMOLED displays are great, but this is neither here nor there: being AMOLED doesn’t make a smartphone screen scratch-resistant or impact resistant. Anyone who has ever cracked a smartphone display would know how easy it is.

In short, Samsung Galaxy S23 is not scratchproof because there aren’t any scratchproof smartphone displays, only scratch resistant to a certain degree. This is where Gorilla Glass enters.

What are Gorilla Glass screens?

Gorilla Glass is an alkali-aluminosilicate strengthened glass. It is scratch-resistant and impact resistant, which means the smartphone display is protected against accidental scratches.

When it came to the durability factor, the preceding Samsung Galaxy S22 displays came with the Gorilla Glass Victus Plus glass panels. Samsung made some bold claims regarding the durability of these displays, which were somewhat exaggerated.

The devices were protected against regular drops. After the S22 released, YouTuber PBKreviews tested the durability of the smartphone. At a drop from waist height on wooden floors the device came out unscathed. On pavement, when the metallic frame took the hit it got minor dents and scratches, however, the results were different when the Gorilla Glass Victus Plus side took the hit. The front and back glass panels got cracks from the drop, and the back glass even shattered. The phone did keep working with the cracked display without hitch, but you’d hardly call such a display durable, never mind scratchproof.

Does the Galaxy S23 have Gorilla Glass screens?

The Galaxy S23 does indeed have a Gorilla Glass screen. Specifically it uses Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for the main display, and also for the back cover. This is an upgrade from the Gorilla Glass Victus+ used for the Galaxy S22 series.
