Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S24 series earlier this month. The Galaxy S24 Ultra is the most premium model in the lineup. Notably, it is equipped with a titanium build and also the new Gorilla Armor display. These are the two most striking aspects in the durability department of the smartphone. The device underwent scratch and drop test recently. Now, it has been subjected to an intense durability test courtesy of the popular JerryRigEverything aka Zack Nelson.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra passes durability test
The display on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is layered with Corning’s latest Gorilla Armor. It is touted to reduce reflections by up to 75 percent and this is visible in the YouTuber’s test when the device is compared with the older Note 10 Plus. Another benefit of the Gorilla Armor is that it is scratch-resistant up to four times compared to previous iterations. As usual, the S24 Ultra gets scratched at level 6 on the Mohs hardness scale. Surprisingly, the deeper grooves appear at level 8 which is the first in the industry.
Samsung has not revealed which grade of titanium it is using for the side frame on the S24 Ultra. In the scrape test, the side frame gets scratched easily same as the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The back panel on the Samsung flagship is also coated with glass and it is resistant to scratches in the durability test. The S-Pen also gets dismantled and snaps easily with even a slight pressure.
In the burn test, the display pixels withstand the flame for 30 seconds before turning White and not recovering fully. The ultrasonic fingerprint scanner works even after getting scratched repeatedly.
Finally, the YouTuber proceeds to the bend test and tries bending the smartphone from both sides with ample pressure. The S24 Ultra suffers a slight flex during the process but it manages to hold its ground. Samsung will be happy with this result since Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro’s back glass cracked immediately in less than 5 seconds of applying pressure.
