Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Durability & Drop Test

[@imtypingwords]

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.

[@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.

[@thealaris]

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!

[@jonathanoxlade4252]

Still have extra protection for drops tho just because it's harder it means it will shatter like tempered glass

[@Dark.KnightYT]

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.

[@Lecon128]

JerryRigEverything: Scratch at Level 6 with deeper groove at Level 7.

[@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]

Pathetic how easily it shatters

[@choujiakimichi]

Exactly my Corning gorilla glass 6 does better lmao🤣🤣🤣

[@chrischoy9]

Funny thing is how they nailed it back in 2011 with the S2 which survived face down drops onto concrete

[@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 😢

[@udiealot]

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.

[@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

[@zachmartinez6260]

​@Lindzzarrd it didn't "break all the time" if you took care of it,if that were the case no one would have the bigger iphones and/ or ipads, samsung tablets,etc ,they were always good phones you just had to be more careful as an owner

[@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.

[@floatingpeaks4584]

Looks like they have been releasing the same glass for the last 10 years with a new name.

[@bonaventureofodum1625]

Each time he drops it....I get shivers🥺🥺

[@PBKreviews]

the first is the worst

[@adixar]

2:18 JerryRigEverything has shown it scratching at the normal 6 and 7.

[@PBKreviews]

As per instructions in the kit, it states to hold it like using a pen and apply only medium (7lbs) force. I do as the instructions on the kit state and those are the results I got. whether he is applying more force or not or if I'm not doing something correctly I am not sure but I did the galaxy s22 ultra from last year the same way and last years scratched at a 6 or 7 but for me the S23 ultra didn't scratch at a 6 or 7. 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. I can always press down really hard and force scratches but that won't be accurate either.

[@fadedgam3r]

Anyone buying this expensive phone and not getting a device protection plan is crazy

[@otakukj]

Honestly gorilla glass ought to be sued by now. Every year, it's stronger! It's better! But the glass screen still breaks just as easily as always.... Literally no difference

[@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.

[@mikyah49]

So to this day the note 20 still has the strongest glass out of all Samsung phones

[@Xkun-Tea]

Samsung a10 too, because base on my experience mine fall from 2nd floor of our school building twice no scratch and crack Ù^Ú

[@coffeemakerbottomcracked]

No scratches at level 7, are they finally getting better?

[@PBKreviews]

yeah its improvement vs the S22 ultra. But I have a feeling the S23/23+ might handle scratches better just like last year how the S22/22+ did better vs the Ultra due to the flat vs curved glass which the process of making curved glass usually makes the glass a bit softer.

[@RahulSharmaReviews]

What is the meaning of scratch test at 1,2,3 etc. Do you use a sharper tool each time to test across levels?

[@alanbio]

Yeah, these are official Mohs Hardness Scale, used to measure hardness of minerals, and so, other materials can also be classified according to this scale. 1 is talc and 10 is diamond. So plastic is around 2, fingernails around 2.5, copper coins 3.5, knives around 5.5, and so on. One material is harder than other when it can scratch it but not be scratched by it.

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

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.

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.

Yeah if its deep scratches of course.

Would've liked to have seen various drops on undamaged phone even tho it'd cost 10 grand and the results would likely be the same. Here's hoping none of us drop these expensive glass bricks 🤞

Which case is good for prevention broken screen

[@nomore-constipation]

Instead of the lame scratches from keys and coins. Why not put them in your pocket and sit down with them crunched together. That'll be a real world test imo As far as the drop, once it breaks, I'm not sure you can judge the quality of cracks since it was already compromised. Maybe test each drop with a new screen? Me personally I think if I drop my phone it's going to be a goner. So dropping is pretty much a killer regardless. I would however like to see you test the repair shops waterproofing after a fix. I'm pretty sure Samsung will sell it for the 30m 1.5 meter dunk, but I'm a little Leary after my S7 was repaired and the place used inferior quality glue. I'm just lucky enough to catch it before it was DOA

[@JTxTX]

Right. Put in a real situation, like in your pocket with your keys or something. This proves nothing that we didn't already know.

[@PBKreviews]

well when holding the keys I can apply more pressure to see if it will scratch. In the pocket it wont apply that much pressure. As for the drop test, It would be really expensive to use multiple devices for each drop. My channel as is runs at a loss so yep its the best I can do at the moment.

[@nomore-constipation]

@@PBKreviews Appreciate your reply. Personally I think if you have keys in your pocket and sit down (like in a vehicle) you tend to be more susceptible to scratches. Any point where you rub two things together it leaves minor dings. As far as the drop test, that's understandable. But unless someone tries to do multiple tests like that I just feel it's always gonna be cracked especially on a concrete surface. Still would like to see IP68 tests after it's been fixed. Good luck with the channel

Thank you for your services. I just got the S23 standard & this video was very informative. God bless you.

[@PBKreviews]

Thank you and you're welcome

omg first drop down and display full broken so bad

[@PBKreviews]

yup

[@VipNazra]

Can I react your video sir ?

[@PBKreviews]

As long as logos aren't removed and credit is given, I don't see a problem with it.

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.

[@GAMIR_SFM]

Disappointed to see Victus 2 went with better scratch resistance rather than drop

[@jonathanoxlade4252]

Rather have scratch resistant that's why you buy a case lol

[@jonathanoxlade4252]

It don't matter anyway glass is glass and glass breaks you can't do much with glass you ether want scratch resistant glass or thicker glass

[@GAMIR_SFM]

@@jonathanoxlade4252 I don't use cases since i rarely drop my phones. But im talking to those that do drop it. Even with a case i see cracked phones

[@user-wh8mb7tm2g]

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

[@passivaggressor]

You always are so quick with these! 😂

[@PBKreviews]

👍 :)

[@masterchief9148]

For the 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 and 9 scratch test, in real life what type of object it could be comparable ?

[@FreeMansWay]

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

[@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.

[@RocZi]

i wanted to know about drop test with phone case. but came across your video. you sir, are brave, dropping a brand new phone on concrete. and for that you deserve a like and subscribe. hope you got the phone for free. the glass is always said to be stronger, etc but it couldn't even last 1 drop. and its not even directly on the corner side which will be worse. but its great to see that it still functions well despite deep scratches

[@PBKreviews]

Thanks for the support! 🙂

[@N26-e8w]

Jerryrigeverything just did a durability test and in his video the screen started to scratch at a level 6, so how did yours started to scratch at only level 8?

[@PBKreviews]

As per instructions in the kit, it states to hold it like using a pen and apply only medium (7lbs) force. I do as the instructions on the kit state and those are the results I got. whether he is applying more force or not or if I'm not doing something correctly I am not sure but I did the galaxy s22 ultra from last year the same way and last years scratched at a 6 or 7 but for me the S23 ultra didn't scratch at a 6 or 7. You can compare my video from last year to see.

[@N26-e8w]

@@PBKreviews Hi, i am sorry if you felt offended i am not accusing you it just felt very weird how the results can vary so much, especially since i was very excited to see increased scratch resistance of the s23 ultra in your video.

[@PBKreviews]

Hi, I am not offended :) I was just replying. Sorry if it came off that way. Maybe my typing is very mono tone like my speaking lol.
