Smartphone prices continue to climb, with many flagship models exceeding $1000. As a result, users’ expectations for these devices are understandably high. This includes not only superior performance but also premium materials and exceptional durability. Fortunately, some manufacturers are rising to the challenge. Samsung provides compelling evidence of this with its Galaxy S24 Ultra, whose screen remarkably survived a fall from 4000 meters. Here are the details…
Galaxy S24 Ultra Breaks Durability Record!
This unbelievable incident recently surfaced in a social media post by Frank Carballido. While skydiving, Frank accidentally dropped his Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra from his pocket, sending it plummeting 1200 feet (approximately 4000 meters) to the ground. While this seems like certain doom for a smartphone, the story takes an incredible turn. Using the Find My Device feature, Frank was shocked to discover that his phone was still transmitting a signal.
After dropping his phone, he rushed to the location, hoping to salvage his $1,199 Galaxy S24 Ultra – even a minor repair would be better than nothing. Imagine his shock when he found his phone completely unscathed! Of course, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra isn’t indestructible on its own. A closer look at the video reveals both a protective case and a screen protector likely saved the day.
It landed on a soft, leafy surface, with trees likely breaking its fall. This fortunate impact point prevented any damage to the phone. Even so, the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s survival from a plane drop is remarkable. This definitely reinforces the importance of using a case and screen protector!
