A YouTube video detailing how the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra survived a rigorous scratch and bend test has surfaced. The success of the Galaxy S22 Ultra is further accentuated by the fact that it does not come with a factory-fitted screen protector. The JerryRigEverything test involves a razor blade, hardness picks, and heat application via a lighter.
The YouTube video showed that when the Galaxy S22 Ultra was put through the scratch test, its Gorilla Victus+ glass showed scratches at Mohs hardness level 6 upwards. The metal frame is prone to scratches by a stainless steel blade. The buttons and the S Pen’s end are also subject to scratches via a blade. However, the Phantom Black matte back cover did not show any signs of razor activity. The camera lenses and their protective rings around the camera are prone to razor activity.
As per the heat aspect of the test, after charring slightly a part of the screen pixels with a lighter, the fingerprint reader is still able to function and it is not affected by the slight heat and scratches on the detection area. The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra also showed a sturdy build by holding firm when bending pressure was applied to it. It did not show any sign of buckling or bending under hard pressure. Not all phones were able to survive this durability test, hence the success of the Galaxy S22 Ultra may be due to its rugged design.
