Stop! It's hammer time for the Galaxy Note7

Vince, 16 August, 2016

YouTuber xeetechcare has been testing the Galaxy Note7 durability in various ways, including dropping it, drowning it and now trying to damage it with a knife and two hammers - a small and a large one.

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.

Check out some Galaxy Note7 carnage below.

We can't help but compare the results to a similar test done to the Galaxy Note5. Dating a year back, the test from PhoneBuff shows that the Galaxy Note5's Gorilla Glass 4 protection isn't as tough as the latest generation. Now who would've expected that?

Here's our full review of the Galaxy Note7 for you to check out.
