S24 Ultra Drop Tests

[JAMES4578]

One Test from Allstate suggests the S24 Ultra may be a bit more fragile than its predecessor, any concern or would the risk not be that high in your own real life useage - dropped from a height of six feet on concrete.    https://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s24-ultra-drop-test- 

However mind you  Tests from  PBKreviews  when dropped from waist height showed that damage was mostly cosmetic. https://www.croma.com/unboxed/samsung-galaxy-s24-ultra-drop-test-video-online

Hey @JAMES4578

The saying glass is glass and will break will always comes to mind.

Personally this is why I always use a case and screen protector.

I will get a case. I am not too concern with this drop tests.

It wasn't just the glass that broke, the whole phone fell apart. 🤣😂

And yet, this drop test, does give a different the picture

These drop tests are not standardised tests, so we need to take them for what they are.

I've never replaced a screen. So assuming that replacing the screen is £200, one can get a phone cover for 10 time less money. £20 can buy a decent phone cover which will protect the phone. My S22 Ultra is in mint conditions after almost 2 years of use.

The other argument is the phone was not designed to endure those tests. They are a bit more than an accidental drop. If car had an accident at 90 miles per hour, it will be totally destroyed, cars are not designed to impact at that speed.
