Anyone buying this expensive of a phone and not getting a proper case is definitely living life on the edge. Me however, I would never.

[@PBKreviews]

lol yup

[@mst4001]

There s a friend of mine who always buy most expensive iphone ( like pro max with maxed out storage) but never put a screen protector or any cases. But surprisingly, i see scratches on front glass but never a cracks or never dropped her phone since iph x to iph 14pm till now

Every year it's a new Gorilla Glass, providing the perception it's somehow better than last year's but when met with concrete, the results are usually the same. Glass is glass.

Nothing new? All smartphones start scratching at level 6, while this starts on 8, it's a huge improvement

[@PBKreviews]

It might be a huge improvement against phones which scratch at a level 6 but not all smartphones scratch at a level 6. I've done durability videos before on phones 2 years back which didn't scratch till an 8. But mainly against the S22 ultra, it is an improvement since the S22 ultra had minor scuffs/barely visible scratches starting around a 6-7. I was hoping for the Victus 2 to hold up till a 9 but yep.

[@MmANCZ]

Indeed that's quite impressive. Maybe it's one of the reasons they don't include pre-aplied screen protector.

[@PBKreviews]

Might be that or also them trying to be using the least possible plastic not sure.

[@MmANCZ]

@@PBKreviews oh yeah that's what I thought. Pretty neat! Now I won't regret not getting a screen protector after 3 years of using the phone. 🤣 My Note 10 plus screen feels like sandpaper 😅 but no cracks!

There's definitely improvement in scratch resistance, as for the cracks ... let's stick to having a case 🤣

[@PBKreviews]

lol yeah

[@ashwinhari6220]

Have you given it a thought that the initial scratch test might have compromised the structural integrity of the glass, making it susceptible to shatter easily ?

[@PBKreviews]

Yes, if it was deep enough yeah, but they are just surface scratches. If anyone put their phone in their pocket and got scratches on the screen, that doesn't mean that any protection is out the window and after it being in a pocket then the glass is going to shatter if dropped. But if it had deep scratches or any cracks, 100% would be a different story.

[@clive7776]

It is glass so it will shatter or crack

[@Mapantz1]

I smell bullshit. The Ultra scratched at a level 6, with deeper grooves at a level 7 - the same as previous generations. In this test, it would imply that the glass has sapphire in it, and it doesn't. One of two things are happening.. the person using the mohs picks, used the wrong ones, or they are lying.

[@JimboJones99]

I'm happy with the improvements in the scratch protection 👍🏼 . For the rest I always put some kind of case on. Even if it's a thin case will provide some protection from a low drop.

[@PBKreviews]

👍

[@mikeoes1]

Curious Jerry rig everything had light scratches at 6 and deeper 7 with same hardness kit?@@PBKreviews

[@chrisdturner]

I got a nasty scratch on mine despite never dropping it, never putting it face down. Just put it in my pocket and it came out with the scratch. Must have had a tiny bit of hard particle in there, no keys or anything obvious I could find. Even tough glass can scratch if you're unlucky so definitely recommend a screen protector.

[@teste-yh5df]

it does not. low drop here :(

[@kevinlopota3626]

Better think again about just "any" case, dropped mine no more than 14 inches while in a thin small case because I didn't like the defender style case I had it in and now I am waiting for who knows how long for the repair shop to be able to get a new replacement screen 😢

[@adityaisgreat21]

It's funny cause Corning didn't mention anything about scratch resistance but a lot about improved drop protection on concrete. The results say otherwise.

[@PBKreviews]

lol yup

[@hotsauce6310]

@@PBKreviews nah 8 was the level the cg victus CGG 7 used to scratch at as well. Only the s22u scratched at a 6 because I guess and from what I've seen when researching on this, the glass is softer because of the higher radius of curvature it needed to be processed at a higher temp and that affects the structure.

[@stevemcfarland4661]

I had the S22 Ultra and used invisible glass on it and had a solid case. I had dropped it probably 10+ times with no issues, then Dec 23, 22 it happened. I broke the front. Had insurance on it so it was repaired for $29, but since Samsung finally lowered the corners, screen protectors stick on this phone way better, now I have a fully protected device.

Glass going to glass, not sure why anyone would think any different because of the price tag.

[@bartmetman2453]

Regular S23 and S23+ might do better with flat screen and more chance the frame takes the hit instead of the glass

[@PBKreviews]

Yup 👍

[@Lindzzarrd]

Totally agree and I don't understand why they went back to the old note style it broke all the time

[@gihan.kavinda]

actually breaking the screen from the first drop shocked me ,It will cost like 350$+ to replace the display. they told that they are using the latest gorilla glass version . But still can't resist a simple drop test

[@PBKreviews]

Yup!

[@danrightnow3880]

I think the scratches made earlier weakened the shock resistance. That's why it shattered on the first try

[@PBKreviews]

If the scratches are really deep yeah but these surface scratches shouldn't affect it. Or else anyone with any scratches would automatically have to worry about drops cracking their screen. Even last year's 22 ultra I did cracked brand new out of the box and the S23 plus from this year. so if the flat S23 plus can't withstand the first drop, no way the curved will.

[@aliciafrappantbas]

The drop test should be done with the screen with NO cracks. Cracks are on hard materials as a cancer. Once a little one starts, the rest is doomed. To have the correct results, the drop test should be done with the screen that comes out of the box, no level 6 or 7 scratches... I'm a mechanical engineer, so it's literally my job to know this kind of things

[@PBKreviews]

You said cracks. Yes if it had cracks of course. But surface scratches like these not really. I am not saying I know any better than you if you're an expert in the field but I have done tests like this before with a phone that had scratches and one of the same that was new out of the box with similar results. If that was the case, anyone who put their phones in their pockets would have to worry that they just voided any protection on their screen since objects in their pockets would cause scratches and their goes the protection out the window. If the scratches were deep then yeah but these aren't deep. Plus the cracks didn't form from there the scratches were, but from the corners and sides of the screen when dropped. If the glass was weak at the mark of the scratch, it should have cracked from there first. But like I said, I don't have a degree dealing with glass, maybe you know something that I dont.

[@aliciafrappantbas]

@PBKreviews So, in summary, you are partially right and partially wrong. By doing drop tests with samsung phones, you get consistent results with the same type of materials (samsungs screens in this case), and you could expect consistent results on the different test. Consistent in this conversation means they will break at a similar height and in similar ways. Yet, to be able to say without doubt that the material of the screens is not "better" or "worst" we or you, or who ever is doing the test, should do it a lot of times, with a lot a phones. Like a 100 phones, for example. Then, you could use statistical methods to extrapolate the results. I'm not saying you should buy a 100 phones to break them, that's not your job to do, and I doesn't make sense.

[@aliciafrappantbas]

Also, when doing a drop test and taking into account what samsung says in their marketing info, one should be critic with the information given by the manufacturer. When samsung says the material of the new screens is 30% tougher or 30% more scratch resistant, they mean under THEIR internal way of measuring those two factors. Way we don't know (because it's a manufacturer secret). Taking into account that we also don't know the crystalline structure of the screen, neither we know how many layers of each specific crystalline structure they use (another manufacturer secret), in my opinion is very hard to affirm just by doing 1 single drop test that the phone is tougher or more fragile than the phone from last year. Yet, one drop test is infinitely more useful than no test at all

[@PBKreviews]

Yes you are correct. These tests are not 100% fact. Only many times with different ways can you come to an average result. This is just mainly a rough test.

[@atlasfenix6995]

I fully trust Samsung phones, I had a galaxy note 9 for about 6 years. Survived a fall off a 16' scaffold, and a few falls on riprap rock at a local lake. Screen was completely cracked and corners eventually fell apart and needed fixing with epoxy and superglue. The thing that finally took it out was the battery. Upgraded to an S22 recently and planning on getting the 23 Ultra in a few months as a secondary. Slap a good case and a screen protector on them and they will last as long as you need them to

Wouldn't scratching the screen at level 8 and 9 make it more prone to breaking ? I think the glass would fair better in the drop test without the scratches 🙂

[@tugberk3172]

yes, there should be 2 separate devices for scratch and drop test. 8 for topaz, 9 for corundum level which is quite deep, he says slight improvement but s22u starting to scratch at 6, so what is significant improvement? also hardness measurement tools should be checked before scratch because it is possible to change their scale unintentionally

[@nanowerx]

*without the curved screen

[@PBKreviews]

Yes correct, they need to be calibrated before use which they are. Also scratch wise yeah there was improvement but when they advertise it, they make it seem like its so much better so I was expecting vary faint if any scratches at an 8 but handles just the same as other phones from a year or two ago which also would last till an 8. However I will be testing the flat surface of the S23 to see if it does any better since last year the S22 did better compared to the 22 ultra.

While most people only show certain parts of the phone, you show different aspect, the inside of them and how durable it is and you usually do reviews faster than anyone else, I learned the difference of IP14PM design thanks to you. I understand that advertisements can sometimes be misleading, but its still promising, also there are some slight changes of S23U design, screen is less edgy but since you starched, integrity of the screen is affected and more prone to break.

You can compare my video from last year to see. I can't say I'm 100% right but I followed the directions the best I could and that's the result I got.

The phone glass as been tempered with, when you did the scratch test, it weakened the glass hence cracked on first drops

[@PBKreviews]

The scratches are minor surface scratches. If that were the case, anyone who has a phone with a scratch on the screen would have shattered glass since any drop would cause it to break. Plus from the drops the glass didn't start to crack from the scratch spots. If they were gashes or cracks in the glass then yes but not with minor scratches.

The drop test is invalid after the scratch test and you don't have to scratch every lens, one is more than enough.

[@PBKreviews]

if the scratches were deep enough yeah but they are just surface scratches for the most part. If that was the case, anyone who has a phone in their pocket rubbing against things getting scratched would have to worry that the glass will break if ever dropped once its been in their pocket.

[@ShazbotDesign]

The harder they make the glass the less it will survive shock impacts. The hardness scale just prevents scratches. The harder an object is the less it's willing to bend. It's really just physics; they're going to have to rely on coatings to make phones more scratch resistant and resistant to falls. Softer glass with better coatings. The only other chemically different glass upgrade they can to is to change to Sapphire glass but it is very expensive and also has issues with impact resistance. It's just more scratch resistant.

greatcas always. p.s. consider droping a phone on the side first si that you can check if the screen cracs like that.

[@PBKreviews]

You're welcome. Most people have asked to see front screen drop first, since once dropped, if there are any cracks anywhere, the screen glass would be compromised and any further drop would definitely cause it to crack or shatter. So the most important is to see how strong the glass is for frontal drops as well as how the phone design helps or doesn't help drops on the screen etc.

[@solomonkane408]

Your doing the lords work . I will be getting a case I’m still deciding on tpu or glass screen protector

نفس السيناريو لقد سقط هاتفي على الارض بعد ٤ شهور وتضررت الشاشة كثيرا😢😅 انا الان محتار في قيمة اصلاحه طبعا انكسر من المنحنى ..كم اكره انحناء الشاشة البارز فقد تعرض هاتفي للكسر بسبب هذا لأنه ضعيف من الحواف

[@PBKreviews]

Yup, I'm not a big fan of curved either.

[@pcxdrone]

Why they use glass for the backs instead of kevlar weave or something actually sturdy is beyond me. I guess the replacement and repair business relies on these to break for revenue.

[@vasme973]

Yep. If they make strong phones, then people wont buy offten.

[@FreeMansWay]

Can droping s23ultra on the screen from 1meter, can affect cameras?

[@semitope]

the curved screen increases damage from falls. Is there a purpose besides looks for it?

[@0528Leetho]

I have the S22 ultra and I am super suprized it hasn't cracked after having no case and dropping it on hardwood floor probably 10 times XD it hasn't hit directly face down like that tho, I wonder if it landing on it on its corner would have better luck

[@PBKreviews]

Hardwood floor I would say is not as damaging as rough concrete, plus yeah the way it hits the ground would probably make a difference.

video: galaxy s23 ad: galaxy s23 thanks google...

[@PBKreviews]

haha

[@armandorivera186]

Now I see why the phone looks tortured on the next video of the S23 ultra disassembly. Thanks for postung this video..🙂👍

[@PBKreviews]

👍 you're welcome

[@takemuramikuo5416]

I just had a nightmare where I went pick my S23 ultra and both the screen and the back were practically destroyed, but the phone still worked somehow. Here I am after waking up for some reason lmao

[@PBKreviews]

lol

[@jeraldehlert7903]

My S22 is aluminum all around. I've dropped it like 50 times. No damage whatsoever. Why the fuck did they go back to a glass back panel? Oh... so they can move more phones. Got it.

[@Tzekkie]

I saw the scratch pick and the tape with the numbers and i heard a voice inside my head: "Scratches at a Level 6 With Deeper Grooves at a Level 7"

[@PBKreviews]

lol

[@note9mnr384]

Samsung is trying to fool us into Gorilla Glass Victus plus & Gorilla glass victus 2 because nothing changed both are the same 🤪

[@user-wh8mb7tm2g]

What to learn from this, get a case as soon as you get a new phone lol

[@cyberkiller83]

i can't even describe what i feel when i see these tests... it ache my heart.

[@willl.3353]

I watched this why wondering about a camera protector. I got a case and screen protector. I'm glad to see the camera hold up.

[@PBKreviews]

👍

[@basicallytroll2705]

You can live without screen protector, but a case is a must.

[@SMITHZIM]

So screen projection would be almost useless?

[@the_real_Wieniet]

I like to see that after a test if the phones charging. With USB and wireless.

[@PBKreviews]

yeah both work
