Samsung‘s latest flagship, the Galaxy S24 Ultra, underwent a thorough durability test conducted by PBKreviews on YouTube, revealing the robustness of the device. The focus of the evaluation was on assessing the phone’s resilience to drops and scratches, which is a crucial factor in everyday usage.
Galaxy S24 Ultra’s Gorilla Glass Armor suffered from minor crack after dropping from waist height
The Galaxy S24 Ultra boasts Corning’s innovative Gorilla Glass Armor cover material, known for its durability. Corning’s laboratory tests showcased the superior resilience of Gorilla Armor compared to similar aluminosilicate cover glass. To simulate everyday wear and tear, Corning introduced a new lab test, the Auto-Scratch Device, demonstrating Gorilla Armor’s exceptional scratch resistance over four times more resistant than comparable aluminosilicate cover glass.
While the titanium frame exhibited impressive scratch resistance, the phone’s screen faced challenges in drop tests. A face-down drop from waist height resulted in a tiny crack on the display. Subsequent repeated drops led to additional cracks, although the display continued to function. The noteworthy aspect is that the cracks on the display were not severe, indicating that the screen’s glass edges are not curved, providing better protection against drops.
In contrast, the back of the Galaxy S24 Ultra remained unscathed, with no cracks on the rear panel or camera lens. It’s crucial to note that the testing methodology involved only one drop per test, leading to a less scientifically rigorous process. Therefore, the results are more indicative than conclusive.
Despite the observed cracks on the screen, the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s durability shines through, especially in terms of scratch resistance and protection of the rear components. The real-world implications of these findings suggest that, in everyday scenarios, the device is likely to withstand scratches admirably and offer robust protection against accidental drops, contributing to an overall resilient user experience.
