Drop test shows Samsung Galaxy S22's flat display is pretty easy to damage

14 March 2022
The Gorilla Glass Victus+ didn't do much better in a flat configuration than it did with the curved display on the S22 Ultra.

        Don't drop your phone. Very simple.

          It's almost as if there's no objectively more durable type of glass. It's almost as if harder materials scratch less easily and softer materials crack less easily.

            Anonymous, 14 Mar 2022It's literally NOT. Stop saying stupid crap like this ... moreWhy not all plastic phones with a thin clear film on the entire device that can be replaced? Maybe they are made of glass to ensure new sales prior to obsolescence.

If these testers used ONE device and that ONE device cracked, it says absolutely NOTHING of how this phone fares against other devices or how Victus plus fares against older versions. They would likely have to drop hundreds of them to get results with some relevancy. Also it would absolutely have to be somehow standardized and dropped by a machine, not by some dude whose angle of drop is completely random.

                Same way, if you dropped your devices (assumedly less than 20) and didn't crack either of them, does not provide any relevant information on their durability, it only shows that you were probably quite lucky.

                  Chill guys with that Gorilla glass scam, it's just an invention to ask for more money from users, just like the IP rating. The majority of buyers nowadays understand that the best and only viable protection is an ugly but solid case and screen protection. Plastic body will do just fine since it will be in a case anyway and it's far more resistant than glass.

                    Any screen protector bought on alliexpress for 2 bucks does a lot better job than costly gimmick called gorrila glass. And of course a book case is a necessary. Also anothe r2-5 bucks.
                    Still way less than costly gimmick called gorrila glass.
                    Even button phone nokia made of plastic is way more durable than S22 and any of its siblings. Same goes for any other 5 inch or bigger phone

                      Victus, Ceramic, Nano shield, etc all are just glass and they will break. No matter how advanced they become. There still glass. And they will break.

So deep scratches are dangerous. Micro surface scratches on the other hand - yes, totally don't care. You get those every day while driving.

                              Thats usual. Other videos about Pixel and iPhone 13 drop test with the height of pocket, both displays broken in the first drop.

                              just search it from YT

You can add PLUS or CERAMIC shield or anything to the name but at the end of the day if it falls in certain conditions it will break.

Like the exynos 2200, 45w charge and the GOS system, this looks like an another scam from samsung.
                                  I have used gorilla glass 5 and the vanilla victus, both got falls and both resisted a lot.

                                    George399, 14 Mar 2022Another reason to be glad of have cancelled my S22 order.You're overreacting a bit. Any glass phone would crack like this if you just throw it around. Or may not. I don't know why people buy phones with fear "it'll get smashed". If you're so incredibly clumsy, then buy a Caterpillar or other similar "tough" phone. Or put it in a thicker case. Because even if it's all plastic, it may not crack, but will still have stupid deep dents and scratches if you drop it on asphalt or concrete. That would annoy me just the same as cracked glass. How I know that? I had plastic phones that fell on asphalt/concrete. They had really ugly and deep scratches that annoyed me every time I held my phone.
