Samsung Galaxy S9 is passed through a professional resistance test, the new Samsung smartphone finally having a very good presentation for the level of resistance it has. The Samsung company boasted that the Samsung Galaxy S9 is very resistant and should not be destroyed too easily from various accidents, but those from SquareTrade demonstrate the fact that the statements are far from simple.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 has Gorilla Glass 5 on the screen and a durable glass case, but unfortunately both crack when the phone is dropped on a hard surface at a height of approximately 1.8 meters. Practically, a person who drops a Samsung Galaxy S9 from his hand while talking to it, should expect that both the screen and the glass case will crack after the impact, which also applies to iPhone X, in the tests done so far.
Is the Samsung Galaxy S9 more durable than the iPhone X?
The Samsung Galaxy S9 does not fare better in a test in which it is simulated to be dropped several times from the hand on hard surfaces, but from low heights, but that was to be expected. Those from SquareTrade give the Samsung Galaxy S9 71 points out of 100, the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus having 76 out of 100, regarding the risk of breaking, this being an average one, so an insurance for the phone will not be that much cheap.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 is more durable than the iPhone X, which scored 90 points out of 100 in terms of the risk of breaking, while the Samsung Galaxy S8 scored 77 points, so the difference is not very big. The interesting part is that the Samsung Galaxy S9 is more durable than the iPhone 8, which would not have materials as "premium" as the iPhone X, and this says a lot about how Apple thought about its phones.
