The Galaxy S24 Ultra drop test video checks how durable it really is: here’s what happened

HIGHLIGHTS

• Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra was dropped multiple times to see if it cracks or scratches.
• The Galaxy S24 Ultra drop test shows the level of protection offered by Gorilla Glass Armor and titanium frame.
• We will learn about the improvements offered by the Gorilla Glass Armor on this phone.

The Galaxy S24 Ultra drop test video is out. We get to see the new Samsung flagship dropped to test the protection offered by its new flat design, titanium frame, Gorilla Glass Armor on the front and Gorilla Glass on the back. Let’s see how well the device fares in this durability test.

The Galaxy S24 Ultra dropped: here’s what happened

• YouTuber PBKreviews dropped the Galaxy S24 Ultra from waist height. In the first fall itself, the phone’s screen gets a minor crackin the top right corner.
• In the next fall, the top left corner also gets slightly scraped and in the subsequent falls too, the titanium frame gets scraped at various places. However, it suffers from no major damage.
• So, the tester concludes that the titanium frame does its job but Samsung could’ve used a better glass on the front. However, the Gorilla Glass Armor in use is said to be 3x better at drop resistance and 4x better at scratch resistance than its competitors.
• To Samsung’s merit, the display functions fine even after repeated drops and no noticeable damages were on the rear side. The screen also managed to stay scratch-free even after putting and scrubbing sand and gravel on it.
• Moreover, the phone mostly landed facing the screen even though the YouTuber tried to drop the phone from different sides. So, it wasn’t a very methodical test and the results should only be taken accordingly.
• In comparison, the back glass on the iPhone 15 Pro series shattered in a drop test by EverythingApplePro. The titanium frame showed scratches and the screen also nicked when dropped from waist-height.

Besides the test and results, the Gorilla Glass Armor on the S24 Ultra is said to be capable of reducing the reflection by up to 75 percent.

We could come across more such tests in the coming days, which could give us a better idea of the phone’s strengths and capabilities. We will keep you posted.
