Looks to me like the corners of the S3 are cracked too. From what I've seen both the SGS and SGS2 were way more durable than the S3.

Not really, some of those SGS1 models were ultra cheap. The Verizon Fascinate would bend using only you index and pinky fingers. Piece of crap.

Damn must be nice to be able to destroy 1200 for a YouTube video.

Easy enough to do when you're sponsored by Samsung

Of course what no one sees: later attempting to turn either phone on reveals they're both deader than dead.

So what does this really prove? Drag your cellphone behind your car and you'll end up with either a beat all to hell paperweight with a smashed screen, or a somewhat less beat all to hell paperweight with an intact screen.

What a complete waste of...everything.

i thought both phones used the same gorilla glass, the only reason the iphone is less durable is because the glass in more exposed on the corners

 

[Strk]

As long as Apple continues to do edge-to-edge glass on the phone, other companies using the same material (Gorilla Glass etc) will always be more durable (well, the glass will be). Gorilla Glass is amazing straight on, but its weak along its edges, which the iphone doesn't protect without a case.

yeah, but the numpty in the video keeps talking about samsungs superior glass, samsung doesn't make the glass, and apple uses the same stuff. but i agree it makes more sense not to have edge to edge glass.

What a foolish test.
People don't use their phones for drag racing. What exactly is this test trying to achieve?

A drop test? Now that makes a lot of sense...Unlike this one.

Not exactly a real world usage scenario...

Pretty close to how my wife seems to use cellphones, though with a bit less water involved.

Seems pretty obvious to me. Testing the screens resistance to scratching in an absurd way. I don't think they were trying to simulate real world scenarios.
