Last week, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra underwent a durability test conducted by PBKReviews, and unfortunately, it didn’t fare well. The S23 Ultra’s screen shattered on the very first drop from a waist-high position. The curved display of the S23 Ultra was probably the main culprit for its fragility.

However, the S23+ also failed the durability test in the same way, despite being equipped with the latest iteration of Gorilla Glass and a flat display (as compared to the S23 Ultra’s curved display). The cracks on the flat glass panels of the S23+ were comparatively smaller than those on the curved panels of the S23 Ultra, but both devices continued to display content and accept touch input regardless, which was the only upside of this drop test. It’s worth noting that most modern smartphone glass sandwiches are likely to break if dropped from waist height.

The Galaxy S23 Plus flaunts a Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels (FHD+), a 48-120Hz refresh rate, and a 240Hz touch sampling rate. The centered punch-hole screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and can play HDR10+ content. On the other hand, the Galaxy S23 Ultra brings cutting-edge hardware to the conversation. It has the brand’s best display, best cameras, and fastest chip. There’s a tall 6.8-inch AMOLED display with a QHD+ (3,088 x 1,440) resolution and a dynamic refresh rate that can go from high 120Hz to as low as 1Hz with the help of LTPO technology.

Overall, it seems that the Galaxy S23 Ultra and S23+ have similar levels of durability, and users should handle these devices with extra care to prevent accidental damage. A hard case is also a great option for those who would prefer to be a little carefree around their phone.
