Galaxy Note 9 vs. iPhone X Drop Test!

[@PhoneBuff]

The way the scoring system works is the winner of each round always scores 10 points, with the loser scoring between 6-9 points depending on how big the difference was. At the end, we tally up the individual scores from each round to determine the overall winner.

[@LUNUSt]

That's hardly scientific. In fact its suspicious. You cant claim that it's a 10 point inspection if the winner always gets 10 points no matter how badly they were damaged

[@Adrian9987]

Maybe you should revise you system and make it that if the phone doesn't crack then it gets a 10. There is no point of having a sophisticated testing system if the scoring system is rubbish.

[@gjna5143]

Biased. EverythingApplePro did the same test and the iPhone X failed miserably.

[@retrokingranch]

PhoneBuff Your system is pretty moronic. We suggest a revision. A phone cannot get a score of 10 when the back glass gets damaged, no matter how small the crack, because after the back gets cracked on any back glass phone, it loses its water resistance. The X should've gotten at least a 9 or even 8 on the first few rounds, but no, you had to bloat its score because "aPpLe". Also take note that you made a non-functioning phone fucking win against a phone that survived all 10 drops.

[@rkidlat]

I have to agree with others that the total score doesnt seem justified because of the simple fact that the 9 kept working past the X. Should reconsider scoring method.

[@prestonrobertson1442]

You don't give a phone a score of 10 when it still gets a crack even if it's a small, almost invisible crack; but that's just me.

[@LUNUSt]

Preston Robertson the water resistance is done after that. Should have gotten a 9 on rounds 1 and 2. The damage in round 1 ruined a major feature of the phone, that's hardly worthy of a perfect score

[@prestonrobertson1442]

@@LUNUSt Agreed. Several people use the back camera of a phone, and it's one of the main specks they look at (or at least that's me lol) I like iPhones, but in my opinion they are no where near as good as Android. I have a Samsung Galaxy s9 and it has one of the best cameras for a mobile phone.

[@yaminedurai]

Why should someone pay 500 dollars to get a replacement of the whole phone? While what got REALLY broken is the back glass and whole phone is fully functional? Technically, it's called loot. Selling you two perfectly fine hardware when you didn't actually need one.

[@LUNUSt]

How is it that a phone that stopped working wins in this test? How is it that it gets a 10 in rounds 1 and 2 despite being damaged in both, especially when the damage in round 1 destroys the phone's water resistance?

[@retrokingranch]

lunusT Tasker Because this is rigged and the guy's a fucking moron.

[@giorat2349]

We don’t know if that iPhone X can survive more than 10 drops, he doesn’t drop it at the end. But with common drops the iPhone X is much resistant, galaxy useless curved display is so fragile.

[@LUNUSt]

@@giorat2349 if you actually paid attention you would know that the iPhone X only survived 5 drops before it stopped working. However I find issue with the fact that the iPhone X wasnt retested for this video. All of the iPhone X tests shown are actually from their iPhone X vs. Note 8 video. Also, at least replacing that back glass on the Note would cost $30. Not the $500 it would on the iPhone. iPhones always score better with this guy on their "scientific" tests even if they suffer worse or the exact same damage. Just look at their other drop test videos.

[@PudgeFree]

I wish people would watch a bunch of these drop tests so they can see that neither is definitively more durable than the other. It all depends on the exact circumstances of the drop. Being at the same height and falling on the same surface are only 2 of dozens of variables. I’ve seen iPhone X’s dropped from 10 feet on corners and face first with no significant damage and no cracking and I’ve seen others dropped in identical circumstances that shatter from 5-6’

[@dsm7]

I think that, this comparaison is not so comparative, because the Note 9 much heavyier.

So I saw your rankings, but I don't understand why the iPhone 7 Plus got a lower rating than the iPhone 7. In your drop test, it got to 10 drops while the iPhone 7 only got to 8 and also seemed to suffer less damage in the front facing drop.

[@giorat2349]

The Variety Kid because the iPhone 7 Plus is much heavier and has a huge front glass

Giorat23, that’s irrelevant because the iPhone 7 Plus still survived longer than the iPhone 7.

Good video, but could u go back to your old scoring method. I liked it much better because you could see how well a phone did compared to another not being directly compared.

[@syed5126]

Look at the camera of the iphone x. Its slightly raised which allows it to absorb the shock. When the iphone x touches the floor the first thing that hits the floor is the camera not the back. For the note 9 its the back that hits the floor first.
