Only drop test on youtube atm! Nice. Seems quite durable
Honestly I would never expect a phone dropped face down on concrete to not get cracked, s24u did amazing
Go watch Note9 drop test...
I agree, something like that to me at least is expected and also they you cases are so recommended.
The screen cracked on first try...so i see nothing amazing...Get a case at least
It did really poorly, check the Pixel 8 pro drop test . . .
Back in the day, dropped my Note 4 face down from waist level, no case (I usually have a case) onto cement. Like straight down. Thought it was done, but it was perfectly fine.
The most impressive thing about Gorilla Glass Armor glass is reflections and how it compares to other phones, especially side by side, the colors are so much brighter and not lost due to reflections, it stays clear even in bright light, with way less reflections and mirrors effect, the difference is massive comparing S24 Ultra vs S23 Ultra, or vs iPhone 15 Pro Max. This probably will be new trend. It is interesting that Samsung did not showcase it on launch.
👍
This is not a very powerful technology. Anti-reflective mobile phone films are available on the market and have the same effect.
Will that remain equally non reflective even after applying screen protector.
@@yatsen251sure. if you say so.
@@sahil123-32No, it negates the anti-reflective coating of the screen unless you buy the official samsung screen protector
Nice drop test. At least you realized that the front glass' integrity was already compromised and will lead to further damage when dropped again face down. Looks like one durable phone. Like Jerry Rigg says... glass is glass and glass breaks.
Well as mentioned in the video, Huawei has glass that doesn't break.
Thanks!
@@samp6162but also the screen is not as nice so stronger the screen uglier the picture
so the front as as fragile as back glass of iPhone 15? that's a shame as front glass of iPhone is very durable
@@samp6162 Unfortunately Huawei is banned for sale in the US. Huawei's glass will eventually break as all glass will. I do admit they are more resilient. I have a Huawei phone which I've gotten prior to the ban.
Finally a drop test! 🙌 thank you for making this idk why these are so rare these days ❤
Bro who the hell spends 1.5k $ for 5 minute long video
You're welcome
@@ajin5339 the one who reward a 3000$ form UA-cam views on this video 👋
@@ajin5339 he will make it back, the video pays for the phone
I work for Tmobile and I have to say, even with a more durable phone still get a case. I've seen too many damaged phones from a lot worse scenarios than just dropping it.
👍
I don't know anyone who doesn't use some kind of case. I never use a screen protector, but always a case. The test should at least use a cheap case imo.
That's really a huge difference,
The first phone of its type
Probably the first S phone to do this far with the test
S23 and s22, immediately got some cracks on the first fall...
The power of flat display
Lol
So painful to actually watch but it's totally necessary as well. Thanks for this
You're welcome
It hurts me to see 1300€ falling down and getting damaged.. personally, i NEVER use my phones without a good case. Its just too sad and shamefull to risk even a little scratch..
1700É here
Any suggustion on a good case?
@@jtcbermoment case
Get samsung care plus and you can replace the phone unlimited times. It's a shame to put a case on a such a beauitfully made device with the new titanium
@@luisvelez647I also purchased the care + insurance but it doesn't cover for scratches and dents. So debating whether to get a case or not. Like the previous comment said, such a lovely looking phone without the case.
Painful to watch such a great device be destroyed. But good points made and good info on the device. Thanks
👍
Destroyed?
I would pay for this tested device, in this condition, about 50 euros.
I'm crying when i see u drop this phone😢
@@bangi2757 ill pay 200 euros
The sand/gravel test was fantastic. A more practical scratch test than a Mohs scratch test
Moral of the video is: Always use a case and a screen protector in any phone. Even if it has the most "protective technology released so far".
A case is a must, but the screen protector is up for debate. Adding glass ruins the effect of the anti-reflective coating on the screen. Samsung has an anti-reflective screen protector, but it's FILM. That means no protection against falls only scratches and scrapes, and this is what the new glass does very well with. I tried Spigen's glass for only a few hours before returning it due to bad fitment, fingerprint reader issues, and dust collecting and being trapped on the sides.
Forgot to say: If you're sloppy and lame and fear you will drop your phone all the time so you destroy the experience of having the 1400$ phone by attaching 20$ low quality items to it(plastic case/regular glass)
@@AlexandreG "sloppy and lame" isn't a term for someone that wants their phone to be broken or scratchedfrom a single accidental drop. Glass is glass, and glass is fragile alone no matter the protection the manufactors give it.
@@lavahoundbrlava1883 I know people who don't even trust themselves with their baby on their hands, still, they are not dressing the kid in a iron suit. There's some things that need to be fully experienced, and to me the premium feel of a phone body is one of them. I've used a screen protector on my 1000 bucks device and I broke one and ended up using another, had them installed for almost 2 years and used case for almost 3, but the difference of not having both those things feels so good I will never be able to install a screen protector again. Maybe in the summer for the beach time
@AlexandreG meh if your that worried about it jus pay samsung care plus $100 -120 a year for accidental drops just need to pay a small deductible and if the unlucky thing you do 6 months down the road you can get a replacement for $100 or new screen for 30 from a shop honestly this will work better than any screen protector will I find it worth it $120 for a year of coverage personally I have dropped my s23 ultra it had a case and it hit the edge of the screen and my phones display turned into a split screen all black and flashing green on top and visual on the bottom luckily I signed up for samsung care had to pay $100 for replacement deductible got a free 512gb upgrade from 256gb so wasn't too bad
Learn your material characteristics as they make the glass harder to resist key scratches. Something harder will crack easier from a drop.
Think about a ceramic cup that has no give in it whatsoever. If you wanted to survive a drop test, then you would want the glass to have a lot of movement, but it would scratch up real easy. You cannot have one Characteristic without making the other characteristic worse. If they're going for scratches, then the screen will crack easier.
Not the case necessarily. Look at the mate 60 pro with kunlun glass. It not only does not break or crack, it doesn't scratch as easily either.
@PBKreviews I'll check into that because generally it's a trade-off you either get one or the other.
good points you mentioned here.
@@PBKreviews3:13 which glasses you mentioned here?
Kunlun Glass which is used on the Mate 60 Pro from Huawei
Oh shiiii... you have it already?!!! Waiting for the teardown!
should have it uploaded tomorrow :)
@@PBKreviews, It would be wonderful if you made considerations regarding oxidation resistance, such as the use of gold or copper in electronic connectors and connectors. Obrigado pelo trabalho maravilhoso que você faz
I'm not too verse on that to review those aspects of it
@@PBKreviews, Thank for your answer. I am looking for a UA-cam channel that reviews cell phones from the perspective of oxidation resistance. I have had many problems with oxidation, such as the phone turning off and not turning on, green screen, white screen, and others. Since cell phones are getting more expensive and the manufacturers are promising up to 7 years of system updates, it makes sense that the components are more noble, with gold coatings that resist oxidation more than copper, and thus have a longer lifespan. Another factor that matters to avoid exposure to reducing agents is the ip68 protection against water. So far I have not found any UA-cam channel that takes this into account, which makes all the difference for those who buy a used phone or want to keep the same phone for as long as possible.
Each time Corning comes out with a stronger glass, Samsung makes it thinner, which negates the additional strength. They are obsessed with ever thinner phones, whereas most customers would be ok if the phone was 0.5mm thicker and more drop-resistant
Hell, give me 3mm thicker and put me a bigger battery in it while theyre at it.
I’ve been waiting for this video, at least the screen still works with the small breakage on the screen. All my Samsung S series whenever I drop it, the breakage was always at the curve part of the phone and ends up changing the whole LCD. I think the flat screen helps too. Thanks for helping video.
You're welcome
I've bought Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra a couple of days ago. Colour: Titanium Violet. Storage: 512GB.
So shocked first time seeing the box - looked like a child's play. Simply can't wait to start using it (still waiting for a charger, case and a screen protector, getting them these days for sure).
Device colour is absolutely immaculate - outlines the Titanium frame and silver rings of the camera module. S pen being gray keeps you feel not missing the other colour that much.
👍
bro I searched for so long for a drop test,thank you for doing these videos
You're welcome :)
perhaps the glass should of been slightly thicker in the corners to deal with the compression of the square frame when dropped
would of been pretty impressive if the corner didn't smash on the first drop
Should HAVE been, not should of been!!!
@@brazzo975he wrote it wrong but he's right about those awfully sensitive corners! You better NEVER drop that phone without protection! (Which makes this already thick phone even fatter!)
@@SAIIIURAIHe wrote it wrong two times which makes it even worse. Why can't Americans speak their own language so that a German like me has to correct them???
@@brazzo975 how do you know he's American!?
@@SAIIIURAI Because no one else is that dumb.
Thanks for the fast video. Now I'm considering using a case but no screen protector.
You're welcome
Ummm, doesn't this video prove the exact opposite? I mean, the screen chipped but the phone's body survived so you absolutely must use a screen protector, but a heavy case isn't mandatory
Needs armour case. With side protection.
yo no se si quitarle el vidrio templado xd pero no quiero que se raye la pantalla xd
It's kinda sad. They design phones to look great with all that titanium case, but then you have to squeeze it into a plastic-rubber protection case to safe it from damages.
Exactly I miss the metal body era of phones like htc one only needed a screen protector back couldn’t crack
Really appreciarlte this men. Ill subscribe to you since you are the first to do the drop test
👍 thanks
Thanks for this. I ran my S23 Ultra for two weeks with no screen protector and the scratches on the screen were enough to make me upgrade to the S24 Ultra and fit a screen protector as I unboxed it.
you're welcome 👍
You used the same color to test that is going to be delivered to me tomorrow. The video is actually amazing, and giving the details of sturdyness of the device. Thanks man, love from 🇮🇳
You're welcome :)
I am honestly shocked that when you put that sand on the screen and rubbed it in that it didn't leave a mark or scratch!! That gave me a lot of anxiety to watch lol but it was nice to see the positive results!!
👍 :)
Damn! Cracked from just a waist height drop! So much for Samsung’s S24 Ultra being built like a tank 🤭🤣
lol
If you compare it to the iphone and s23u, IT IS A TANK
Did better than the 15PM LMAOO. It couldn’t even survive a bend test 🤭🤣
Was you made this after teardown it? Or you use a different phone for teardown?🤔
I did the drop test first, then took the phone apart after.
I prefer the mosh scale pens to test the screen. The composition of the sand you use will vary from test to test, also the pressure and movements of your hands. So not very scientific or can't compare between phones.
Yep, but too many people would comment saying I was copying others by doing that so decided to do more "real world" type of testing.
@PBKreviews People will always complain, no matter what. Maybe do the pen test before and then the sand. This also makes the video longer and increases profit. But for me, the test with sand it a bit pointless :)
Yup thats true. I got good results from people wanting scratch tests done in pockets or with sand etc., so I continued to stick with it. But I will consider mohs picks again in the future.
@@PBKreviewskey test would be nice. People copy others all the time. But if you copy and do it first then oh well. You the first to test the durability
👍
That shit looks pretty durable. Just one more day to have mine :D
Me too. 😂. We the S24 gang 🤣
Just one more day? Well that is fast.

how are you getting it so early?
@@mantid83 i Made pre order and thats why i Will get it tomorrow s24 ultra on 24 jan. Lol
This channel deserves more subscribers. Thank you for the great content
Thanks
Imagine buying a $1300 phone and seeing it getting cracked by a single drop from waist height. (POV: You were just about to put on the case.)
lol
Oh noooo o I will not even open the seal off until o get the corner case or grip case 😅
Samsung wasn't kidding about 7 year software support. They really made it to last 7 years✨️
This Pains More Than Breakup For Tech People, But Guys Remember Someone Has To Do This For Us !
👍
I would still like to see drop test from shoulder height. Many times I continue using my phone with already broken screen and would be nice to see how it continues to resist after the integrity is already broken
👍
Worth mentioning, the crack you got initially was on the curve. Everyone is talking about how they love flat screens because they're so much more durable, but this is still slightly curved on the side edges. As you can see, any curve at all compromises that front panel.
Thanks. Been thinking of not using cases anymore. This gives me more confidence to go caseless
You're welcome
Caseless?
If you have a low end or mid range phone sure. But this thing costs $1300 so a case is a MUST regardless if it has Gorilla or Godzilla Armor.
@@Gurenn83 I have insurance on my devices, worst case, I pay 250 MAX for a full replacement but only $20 for a screen replacement.
@@1993rufus how much do u pay for that insurance and will they replace it even if u accidently drop it
That is why I ALWAYS get a "Durable Military Shockproof metal Bumper Silicone Case. Protected my previous phone like brand new for 4 years(went through 2 cases). Loving my S24 Ultra now.
I'm using the Otterbox Defender Pro on my S24 Ultra, no screen protector. I've used the same combo since S9+ and haven't had any issues.
@@That_One_Guy-STL Nice solid lightweight case. A bit pricey though. I got my -Simicoo Samsung S24 Ultra Metal Bumper Silicone Case- for 1/3 of the Ottercase price.
I removed the clear cover from my case and I love my case. It is a little heavier, it has screws, but I dont mind.
@Zaturn_ I only paid $35 for it, so it wasn't the full $64. I have a connection at Best Buy. MY last 5 phones have survived a lot with the Defender Pro.
no se si usar protector de pantalla solo para que no se raye xd
Scratch resistance is a very good improvement
👍
With glass - it is always a compromise.
a softer glass is more drop and shatter resistant ... but much easier to scratch (especially microscratches). A hard screen (lets say - the hardest used on any smartphone yet .. HTC U Ultra 128gb version with a sapphire screen) ... nearly impossible to scrach (lvl9) .. but very easy to shatter on drop.
Similar with the frame - a soft frame can take some impact force from a drop by denting. Some more force is taken from the thin plastic frame the glass sits in - and it all adds up. A very hard frame offers less impact deformity, transferring more force to the plastic rim and thus to the glass itself.
all depends on what type of glass and tech is used. look at kunlun glass on the mate 60 pro. it's both really strong which doesn't break and very scratch resistant at the same time
@@PBKreviews i do not know Kunlun glass. Is it more like Apples ceramic shielding? slightly less scratches at lvl6 .. but still lvl6? or is it like this Samsung glass that seems to endure lvl6.
I still cannot quite believe it - because if it was an actual lvl higher than tempered glass ... it should completely shrug off micro abresions in daily usage (judging from an HTC U Ultra with sapphire screen, that my father has, that still has a pristine screen). I mean, Samsung wont bless us with transparent aluminium, because that is way too expensive and also even more resistant than sapphire.
kudos to samsung for making a more durable phone. not as good as the honor x9b, but waaaaaay better than the s23 ultra
👍
would love to see head height drop, phone will usually get dropped multiple times...
also fliping it and drop to random position as well would be nice
I've always wondered what happens to these phones after they get scratched and taken apart/reassembled.
usually I wait for parts to become available and I repair them, or I sell them as is broken.
The most expensive drop test, Samsung, should make a dummy phone for drop test
Неееееет, только не фиолетовый, он же такоц красивый 😢😱😱😱
I wanted to know about the durability of the titanium, particularly if it was scratch resistant and if Samsung learned from the Apple iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max situation. Good to finally know that the phone titanium is not scratch resistant.
In my opinion I think it handled the scratching on the frame much better.
Some crazy Indian youtuber did many drop test of premium phone to date. S24U, S23U, Ip 15 pro max, OP12, Iqoo 12, etc. Most of these flagship phone's screen survive drop test except OP12 because of the heavy weight. The usual crack happen at the back glass especially if the back glass is weaker than the front glass like the Iphone. First place goes to Iqoo12 with no dmg at all using Schott glass and aluminium frame. So yes, you need a good case more than a good screen protector nowadays for flagship phone. I would say you don't need a screen protector at all for S24U because you will lose the anti reflection feature. If you hate scratches on screen then get the wallet type case.
I just have a question, what do u u do after this test with this phone do u throw it away?
You must add more pressure when performing a scratch test with sand on the screen ... To better replicate pressure from your leg onto something like a chair or table . Rather than just tapping the sand lightly .
It looks like I'm moving around the sand lightly but I'm putting pressure. You can also watch the mohs scratch test video I did for another idea of the resistance.
@@PBKreviews it's just i know that dust and dirt is often the cause of screen scratches , and often when we lean on something like a table , resulting in bad scratches .
Add a scratch test to those videos with a screwdriver and pressure levels, on the screen, back of the phone, and at the cameras. This would be really really helpful
This is exactly what is holding me back from buying such an expensive product. The minimal accident and it might be gone. I would buy it if it was durable against drops.
I dropped mine from not too high with a case and screen protector. It hurt my soul! No damage or scratches. Awesome phone.
I have one question. Does Samsung approve this or do you need to pay for the phone by yourself. 😊
Paid for it myself :)
I have the S21 ultra, same case dropped many times and still works like new and looks new. Verizon was surprised after 4yrs it being untouched
To Samsungs credit the screen is pretty durable and who the hell is using this phone without even a cheap case with raised edges. I'm sold
Doesn’t seem like a screen protector is necessary this year
But it might crack more easily without a screen protector.
@extrabigmehdi a screen protector helps scratches, not cracks. It's not like a protective case.
@@GD2XProbably, but I'm not 100% sure. In fact I nevet got any cracks, but still managed to kill few amoled screen that turned black.
respect to him for your sacrifice.
That phone is tough! it is understandable there will be scratches when it impacts hard concrete. or on a single pressure point like corners hit first. bound to chip off something.
My Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus is also quite tough, it has survive a lot of drops until the back glass finally cracked (a few spider web patterns). the hardest drops are on the corners or when it drop together with a stand (extra weight). my tempered glass is cracked but the screen is still good.
👍
I havent watched a drop test since Galaxy S6 and judging from the reaction, you seem pretty disappointed with the results. I see minimal cracks yet on the screen but you seem rather harsh on it. Is it the standard now for a phone to be able to tank a drop test with no cracks/scratches?
There are phones like the mate 60 pro which survive drops of all kinds plus more. But the reason I wasn't completely happy was the fact that it's a flat design vs last year's curved which on its own should be a big improvement for drops since curved is weaker. But on top of the more flat design, it has a newer gen glass on top so I was expecting it to survive a drop from waist height with no cracks. But the glass is still rounded at the edges causing it to be weaker there. on the S24 drop test video you will see it's completely flat and survived drops from higher.
Bro how much do you sell after the drop test.? let know when to pick or schedule for a pick up
I don't think you should be dropping any kind of electronics whether it's a phone or not but yes accidents happen I don't know why anybody would not want some sort of a ultra thin case minimally on their phone or something clear
Cos some people like me prefer to touch the original body/case of the phone.
And yes I go caseless.
Ah yes finally was waiting for someone to destroy this Titanium
👍
Thanks for this durability test and detailed breakdowns on the logic behind each + notations regarding other, stronger phones.
Hi sir, why my phone affected by automatic touch problem 😢, pls tell about this problem , i am waiting for your sol
Oxidation. They should use more gold, instead of copper, in electronic component coatings
I saw that cell phone and thought it might be exactly what I need. It would be an incredible gift that would make my life easier in so many ways.
Now this a durability test I want, and not some wanker snapping phones in half and then judging the strength of the phone that way. love your videos!
Thanks!
Almost misses noticing the crack because of how small it is: proceeds on saying he cannot see much of an improvement from the previous gen.. 😐
The problem is, previous gen had curved glass which were susceptible to cracking from falls and would get large cracks along the screen from the first drop. The flat glass should not crack from waist height at all if there were improvements since the fact of it being flat alone should be an improvement. So if it already is getting an improvement with it being flat vs curved so it's "stronger", and they say it uses a newer gen gorilla glass with more improvements on top, I would expect it at least to survive any cracks from that height on the very first drop. Hope this explains.
At minimum put a TPU Screen Protector on yours.
Looks like Titanium isn't much tougher that Aluminum here.
I've had a EVG TPU Screen Protector on my S22 Ultra since it's release & I don't have a single micro scratch on the screen.
I Even Dropped it from belt height on to rocks & all I seen was a shattered display, I freaked!
Then I pulled off the TPU Protector & nothing, not even a scratch!
These made me a believer!
I'll be putting Glass Screen Protector on my S24 Ultra..
I bought this phone yesterday, they gave me a free Samsung silicone cover. It only lasted 6 hours, the screen cracked badly on the first drop, but I have to admit the drop was on rough concrete. This is a heavy weight phone!!
wonder how much it will cost to replace the screen since the the local authorized service center it doesn’t have the part available.
Cell phones are the same as human beings, there is no perfect cell phone.
How tall are you? Just need the meters for curiousity of this test
5 foot 8 inches
Based on your video, I just placed my pre-order - thank YOU!
You're welcome
Very cool. While it looks fragile from the first drop, I'm thinking the most minimal case with somewhat of a lip above the screen (such as a number of those Aramid/fiber cases) plus screen protector probably would like prevented the damage. A bigger case, even better. Glad to find a drop test on UA-cam! I might pony up for the insurance just in case lol.
Yeah a case should definitely prevent such damage. 👍
Manufacturer's could easily use sapphire for the screens, and it would not add much cost to the phone if any. The issue that they have absolutely no incentive to make a phone that doesn't break. Screen repair and phone replacement due to screen damage is a couple hundred million dollar business for them.
It's funny because both of these phones the s24 ultra and the iPhone 15 pro Max used titanium this year and neither one of them are more durable than the previous generation without titanium, and not just the frames but even the glass
Today I accidentally dropped mine on concrete from about a meter high. Even though it has a case and screen protector I thought for sure it was gonna have some scratches and cracks due to how it dropped but there's nothing I can see! I'm very impressed.
I mean, we all know that glass is glass, and glass breaks, that's what it is, so it's not a shock that even with all the latest gorilla glass victus innovations, it still broke. We all know a 1300$ should be in case and with a good screen protector, will make it last longer an minimize the pain of having to use insurance and pay a 100$ deductible for a broken screen. My parents and my wife have s22 ultra, s23 ultra, and they are all fine with a case and screen protect even after a lot of drops
Huawei's mate 60 pro glass doesn't break, neither does honor's x9b. So that saying about glass doesn't hold water now a days.
The reason for screen cracking is because titanium is harder and less flexible than aluminum meaning it transfer more energy from the impact to the screen.
Всё таки на верхнем правом углу стекло разбилось,,какая бы это не была горилла,,стекло всегда разбивается
Guess Airplane mode didnt help lol

THE HORROR PROBLEM WITH MODERN PHONE IS NOT NARSCISITIC DURABILITY BUT 🔋 🔋 OVER HEAT 🔥 🔥 AND UNABLE TO RESIST (SUN) + RECORDING
They finally stepped it up on the durability
All you have to do is just put it in your pockets and you are guaranteed to have thin little scratches.
That's why i need a screen protector.
Its Pretty durable considering most of the drops the phone ended face Dropped.
Appreciate this alot man! But it hurt to see it slapping the concrete in slow mo 🤣

The moment we've all been waiting for, the first ever S24 Ultra - durability x drop test on YT✌🏽😅
👍 :)
Bro I am a master student of material engineering and my field is ceramic so I can maybe be the only a few people who can answer you,in fact Huawei and its partner which are making Kunlun glass just use from a rather old but never used transparent material name"nano transparent glass ceramics" which at least in term of thermodynamic science basicly doesn't consider a glass or amorph structural material unlike glass including gorilla glass.I don't blame Kunlun glass or Huawei at all in fact they didn't a great work but their material is not comparisonable with gorilla glass.
👍
All that hype from Samsung about the stronger glass is exaggerated!
Shoking 😱 to see it cracked at waist height! 😳
Thank you for sacrificing your phone to demonstrate that 🙏
You're welcome
All baloney advertising hype. Gorilla glass. Tyrannosaurus glass. Yeah right. Now what's the story on Huawei!? It has emergency satellite transmission too, but because of politics we can't get it here.
Very stressful but honest review.. 😊
👍
So while you did bash the S24 for breaking, and said it wasn't an improvement. But did you re-wratch your s23 video... every drop was a shatter.. front and back (and you said the s22 did even worse). That phone was so shattered that while it was on, it was practically unusable... 99% of us would want to get rid of that device or get the screen replaced.
The damage to the s24 was a chip/crack in a small part of the corner of the screen.. very easy to live with for a while at least, and no damage to the back... yet, you had to knock the s24 as no better than previous devices. This is a huge improvement. Sure, maybe others do it better, and thats a fair point.. but to imply that the s24 isn't an improvement over the s23 is nonsense.
Yeah but your not taking into account that the screen being flat on the S24 Ultra should already be a big improvement against drops since curved glass is softer and more prone to getting cracked or damaged from falls. So if it's already suppose to be a big improvement by being flat, and on top of that they are using a newer gen of gorilla glass, it should not even crack at all what so ever from such a low drop. Head height maybe. That's why I don't see much of an improvement for the screen glass. But scratch resistance yes I do see improvement.
Its common sense that a curved screen is less durable, so why give this one any props for being more durable than the previously flawed designed screen? Ill refer you to a built out of plastic Nokia Lumia 910 being used as a hammer. Those drop tests dont mean anything, at the end of the day there are too many variables for 4 drop tests to be meaningful in anyway. This is more of an anecdote. How about a less durable phone that can be fixed for a reasonable price? I would rather replace my digitizer 2, 4, or more times easily than have some phone that costs the same as used unit to replace the screen. Either way dust is going to scratch it, just make it to where its as easy.
The one and only time I dropped my S22U was in the bathroom and it landed perfectly edge of glass on the edge of the sink. It cracked so bad, half the screen didnt respond. The insurance I paid for had an exact replacement phone in my hands LESS THAN 12 HOURS from the time of the incident!!
My kid accidentally knocked my s24 dropped and the screen broke
That's why you should have a case
Dropped this thing 4 times and he is unimpressed there is a small crack? I'm actually impressed it isn't messed up more.
The S23 Ultra cracked and shattered first drop. So the fact this has flat design than curved, should have survived a short fall from waist height without any cracks, especially if they are using a newer gen glass protection which doubles on top of the fact its a flat design vs curved which is more susceptible to cracking. That's why I'm unimpressed. But the scratch resistance is a different story. Also if you watch the S24 drop test not the ultra, it survived both waist and head height drops on the same concrete. The S24 has a completely flat screen. Ultra has the slightest rounded edges which weaken the glass on the edges.
I can recommend to choose a cover with a black frame instead. The dark color really helps to make scratches disappear. In wirst case you could use a black permanent marker with the same color
How come you didn't use the scratch kit like you did on the s22 and s23, ultra. How did it hold up when you did that? Or have you done it yet on this phone?
I just uploaded a scratch test video with the scratch kit since a lot of people were asking for it.
Came here after my daughter drop my s24u. lol Thanks for the drop test. Glad my phone is in a case and has a screen protector. No visible damage and screen works fine.
🙂 you're welcome
thats why you buy a proper case to protect the phone as the phone makers make them to work, not last , thats on you to make it last
Idk if face down is how most people drop their phones. Every drop of mine has been by missing my pocket so corner it is... from waist or chest height.
The sand was the most important to me. Putting a phone in your pocket is like there is a rock quarry inside there.
