In what can only be described as an incident, nothing short of a miracle, the Galaxy S25 Ultra managed to save a Ukrainian soldier’s life by coming in between a shrapnel that would have otherwise delivered a fatal blow to the person. Sure enough, the impact left the flagship worthless, becoming an expensive paperweight with a hole. Fortunately, the soldier will not have to fill out the bill from his pocket because Samsung has apparently reached out to the owner and stated that the repairs will be done for free.
Shrapnel got stuck in the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s top part, not the battery, which could have resulted in a small explosion
A picture doing the rounds on the internet shows a Galaxy S25 Ultra whose front glass has been shattered by the shrapnel’s entry, with the panel side protruding outwards. It appears that Samsung not only made the device lighter by incorporating a titanium alloy chassis but also made it more durable by adding Gorilla Glass Armor 2 at the front and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 at the back.
After all, a premium smartphone like this will feature the very best protections, and we strongly feel that these additions made the difference in successfully stopping the shrapnel. On Reddit, an individual with the username ‘Dapper_Chance8742’ has shared that Samsung has offered to repair the device for free, but it has not been confirmed how the Korean giant managed to contact the soldier, assuming he was in the middle of a warzone.
It is also important to note that if the shrapnel came from a gun, then higher caliber bullets would deliver more penetration power, and effortlessly pierce both the back and front side of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, delivering a fatal blow to the owner. Another fortunate aspect of the incident was that the entry point was the top of the smartphone and not the back, where the battery is located, because it would have resulted in a small explosion, resulting in some high-degree burns.
