Stop! It's hammer time for the Galaxy Note7

16 August, 2016
You don't have to be a fortuneteller to know what'll happen. The Galaxy Note7 sports a Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and it survives the knife test pretty well. However, that's not the case when the hammers started dancing to the tunes of destruction.

    I have an xperia Z5, and it's also glass sandwiched. Once it fall straight on the road while I was getting into a bus. No damage at all except from the raised edge next to the glass. I'm so happy Z5 has these edges around the glass, they absorb hits.

    You were lucky to pick up your phone and see it was as good as new after it fall. Must had been a shock ha? It was for me.. I was like "oh fu.ck! please glass don't be broken"

        and about the glass itself, my dog pulled on my headphones and the s7 edge fell face first on the floor...no probs..i think having gadgetshieldz coating helped..its a soft screenguard unlike temperd glass...it deforms if you scratch with a key or pen..but they are relatively cheap and may have a shock absorbant quality..best part..wet application

              Mate you don't need PhD to know that glass is very fragile. Especially this edge thingy is a guarantee of bad day. Don't buy these kind of phones. Edge and 2,5d glass are not durable at all! Get a case if you have phones like this one.

              My point is that glass is fragile, you don't need videos like this to know this.

                It is good to know that the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is so resistant to damage, but one can assume that Samsung has tested this already before bringing this phone out.
                So actually it is a waste of money and respect-less to such a piece of impressive technology. Overall: Well done Samsung!

                  Wow it feels so good seeing a Samsung phone getting hammered like that!
                  They should do this in anger management therapy :))
                  Keep smashing samsung and crapple phones!

                    DenisXD, 16 Aug 2016Seriously GSM boys? You share these like we should watch ... moresome people want to know how much punishment a phone can take without having to spend the coins to find out.

                    "idiots" like this are helpful in that regard.

This units are given out to many bloggers so they can promote the brand and even if he did purchase the phone the video will generate enough revenue to write off any expense... we simply love destruction.

If the screen was fatter it would be much tougher, and it would be nice to separate glass areas on the device. Another piece of glass for the bezels and another for the screen for example. That way, if the phone falls and the impact is on the edge the screen will remain intact.
