As SquareTrade said very well at the beginning of the video “Smartphones are getting smarter, more beautiful and more fragile”. Samsung’s latest flagship, the Galaxy S9, is no exception to this rule. With its glass shell and curved bezel-less display, the smartphone doesn’t look very solid. “Samsung claims the Galaxy S9’s new Infinity Display gives it better resistance” Reminds me of SquareTrade. Time to check what Samsung has to say!
Galaxy S9 vs S8 and iPhone X: Which is the most fragile?
In the video below, SquareTrade will launch the Galaxy S9 from a height of 1.80m! Depending on the angle and shape of the device hitting the curb, the damage is pretty random. Galaxy S9 finallyfragility grade 71/100. The lower the rating, the more resistant a smartphone is. For its part, the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus is even more fragile than its younger sibling: That’s why SquareTrade gives it a score of 76/100. This new vintage model from Samsung is therefore not one of the most rugged smartphones on the market.
Still, the Galaxy S9 is more durable than the Galaxy S8, which is content with a score of 76/100. Compared to its rivals, the Galaxy S9 far outperforms the world’s most expensive smartphone, the iPhone X. Apple’s anniversary model scores a really sad 90/100. Still, Apple manages to save the furniture, thanks to its iPhone 8, which benefits from a score of 67/100. Just below the Galaxy S9’s video drop test, we invite you to explore or rediscover the trials that the Galaxy S8, iPhone 8 and iPhone X have undergone. Does a smartphone need to be rugged to please you? Is this a decisive criterion when buying a smartphone?
