Dropping and abusing the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the Galaxy S24 Ultra: is there a toughness winner?،
Much has been made of the titanic battle between the Galaxy S24 Ultra and the iPhone 15 Pro Max, but here's something else: a drop test.
Remember, this in no way makes the Galaxy S24 Ultra or iPhone 15 Pro Max fragile or “bad”: when a phone drops (especially one that costs over a thousand dollars), only the gods can tell us help. because luck is what matters most. I've seen “flimsy” phones survive epic abuse, and I've also seen “tough” devices crack after a gentle drop.
A video of PhoneBuff The YouTube channel shows what happens when you put the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the Galaxy S24 Ultra during a drop test (via Gizmochina).
Both Galaxy S24 Ultra and the iPhone 15 Pro Max are built with titanium inside, but the Galaxy S24 Ultra also features Gorilla Armor Glass for a significant improvement in durability over its predecessor, the Galaxy S23 Ultra.
The drop test begins with the Galaxy S24 Ultra And iPhone 15 Pro Max falling flat on his back. It shattered the glass back panel of both phones, with the damage more visible on the S24 Ultra. The camera lenses also suffered in the test. According to the host, this turn comes down to iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Then, in the second round, the two flagships are dropped from the corner to test the titanium frames. The devices had minor dents, but the iPhone also started losing glass. This round ended in a draw, according to the host.
The third round is nicknamed “Face Drop” and it's painful to watch. The two phones are placed on a concrete floor at the front. Compared to iPhone 15 Pro Max, the S24 Ultra suffered more screen damage with cracks, which is surprising considering the Gorilla Armor glass used here. The selfie camera and fingerprint scanner features have been compromised on the Samsung flagship. On iPhone things worked normally. A clear victory for Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max.
The last round had the Galaxy S24 Ultra and the iPhone 15 Pro Max repeatedly falling face down on a metal surface – pure sadism. The iPhone suffered a lot and had a vertical line on the screen on the second drop and on the seventh drop the screen just went white. THE Galaxy S24 Ultraalthough abused beyond belief, is still functional and the prize for this hardcore round goes to the S24 Ultra.
THE Galaxy S24 Ultra achieves an impressive overall score of 37 points from PhoneBuff, narrowly surpassing the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which follows closely with 36 points. While the iPhone 15 Pro Max shines with a perfect 10 out of 10 in the first three rounds, he only weakens in the fourth and final round.
