The Samsung Galaxy S22 is a powerful device in more ways than one, but does it need a screen protector? This is a question that comes up with any smartphone purchase. After spending a heap of money on a new handset, people want to ensure that it's protected as well as it can be. This means it's always a good idea to look for things like water/dust resistance, drop protection, and scratch resistance.

So just how durable is the S22's screen? Whether someone purchases the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, or Galaxy S22 Ultra, all three variants have Corning Gorilla Glass Victus. Corning says the glass can survive intense drops of up to two meters, which is a considerable increase over the 1.6-meter drop height of 2018's Gorilla Glass 6. Gorilla Glass Victus also touts scratch resistance that's two times better than its predecessor. In other words, it's very durable.
