? Note 8 vs IPhone 8+ drop test ?.. you gotta see it!! - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

What yall think ??

Bump

What I think? I think I am gonna buy instead of pneumatic phone drop device, some decent case for my Note 8. AKA, couldn´t care less about all these tests.

These are NOT tests they are idiots acting like..............idiots.
Tip. If you drop a metal and double sided glass device chances are it will break....Shock, horror.
Ryland

Got a TPU case to cover corner drops and let me be comfortable turning the phone face down.
No worries about this stuff. Does anyone use this phone naked?

Does anyone else have the link open them to YouTube in the browser instead of the app? I want to fix that so it opens in the app. Any idea how?

So sorry to learn your life is "Crap". Can we do anything to assist you? WE could always perform one of these drop tests on you if you like? How about we drop you from the fourth floor of a building and 'test' how you land? That would stop you from feeling like "Crap" and give you a whole new perspective on 'life'......What do you think?
Keep well. :fingers-crossed:

Kind of a jerk thing to say regardless if you're playing or not.

Maybe somebody's claim of having strongest glass ever put on the phone is shuttered into little pieces. And like the fact N8 could survive multiple drops and still work.

So called 'drop tests' are a blight on technology and totally ignorant, absurd and stupid.
WHY do people 'drop test' a device that does not claim to be drop proof?
WHY are the 'testers' always shocked when the device breaks?
What approved method of quality control, ie testing standards, are being used.....Of course the answer is non.
Its not an industry secret that if you drop your Hi Fi amp', DVD player, speakers, lap top, DAP or many many other technological devices they WILL break. I akin this stupidity to purchasing a car and driving it into a wall to test the airbags! WHO does that?
Then we have the freezing of our Note 8 etc etc in coca cola, hot soup, fried and boiled and so, such absurdity goes on. These devices are expensive and to deliberately destroy such things for ZERO reason is just bloody absurd.
I don't find such things a joke I find them rather sick and those who perform such actions need help. Its vandalism pure and simple. When I consider how many people are waiting to receive their Note 8 on back order then see some jerk smashing one to pieces I feel anger. Its becoming an accepted 'Norm' and its a worrying trend.

Read what you said to the guy again to see why I said it was a jerk move. He was talking about a phone, so you offered to "drop him off a building to fix his crappy life".
Regarding the subject though, people accidentally drop phones all of the time. Some would like to know if the phone will be dead if it happens. Regardless of what you think, phones of 2 years ago even survived most drops. The new ones of today are getting more and more fragile due to the materials and curved aspects of the glass.

I 'thought' the irony of my post was obvious? One drops a mobile from a fourth floor it WILL break. One is dropped of same floor and one will break. If this point of 'testing' needs spelling out what's the point?
I accidentally dropped a 15k watch 25 years ago. It broke, I was not surprised. Point is I didn't drop test it when I bought it 5 years earlier to see if it would break! :silly:
Regardless of what you say if you drop a mobile off a roof or by drone or helicopter, boil it etc blah blah it will break.
You agree mobiles are "fragile" if you understand that why advocate and support these absurd so called 'tests'?

Well, while I agree that freezing a phone and dropping it sorta stupid, drop tests aren't. No phones beyond Galaxy Active are advertised as drop-proof (that I know of) yet we all drop them, it's a reality of life, and while certain phones aren't specifically designed to be drop-proof, some designs are intrinsically better at distributing the energy of the drop to the frame, which the drop tests show. Like Nexus 6p is going to be significantly sturdier than Galaxy s8 because of the design, not because someone tried to make Nexus 6p a drop proof phone.

OMG... broken too easly
Any screen protector can fit good and protect the screen for Note 8?

Sneak attack technique of ad-ing mid-vid. :highfive:
I enjoyed watching the two drop because of how Steve Jobs had everything ON THE INSIDE symmetrical. The other-than-Note-8 phone landed so flat. Haaaaaaa.

[Q] How durable is the GS2?

Hey guys,a question about the SGS2 popped into my head earlier that I had forgotten to care about.
How durable is the GS2?I mean without silicon cases etc.It depends on the quality of the plastic used.
I know that the screen is pretty durable for sure(isn't it Gorilla Glass?),but what about the rest of the phone.From what I've heard,the original Galaxy S was pretty durable(heard stories of phones flying out of cars' windows etc),and my current Desire HD is really durable("really" is there because I have personal experience from the phone,not because it's more durable than the GS or something).
I intend to take care of my phone(Who doesn't take care of a 600 euro phone? ),but you cannot never be too sure!
Any feedback WITHOUT FLAMING OR HATING INCLUDED (taking precautions here as some people tend to defend the awesomeness of Sammy's phones with far too much zeal) is welcome.
Still eagerly waiting for the phone to arrive!
A lot of people think plastic automatically equates to bad build quality. Well, the Galaxy S II is proof that isn't the case -- it doesn't creek and there are numerous reports of people dropping theirs with no marks.
To sum up - does it feel as tough in the hand as my old HTC Leo? No. But does that mean it isn't? Not necessarily. I have had mine for a month with no build quality issues and long may it continue.
Durable = lasting in spite of hard wear or frequent use
So time alone will tell one month most definitely will not .
jje
Well,I am happy to see you two guys here(You ermmm...answered in a not so wanted manner in my other thread,remember?).Perhaps we started wrong,but never is too late now,is it?
I never said that plastic means build quality is bad.It's just more likely to mean so than aluminium is,because there are various qualities of plastic and no one can guarantee(is it spelled like that?I'm studying atm so my English is a bit out of the ordinary,too many mistakes,sorry) that a manufacturer uses high quality plastic.
However it doesn't need to scream quality.My father has a Panasonic DSLR which is mainly(if not completely) mad of plastic.It has fallen on soil,water,rocks(in a cave-holy sh*t that man! ) and other surfaces numerous time and there is only a tiny(Like the tip of a nail) piece broken from the lens' cover.Nothing serious considering it's been going through that stuff for about four years now!
What I wanna say is that the GS2 might prove far better than most of us believe.
Did you guys own a GS1?What are your experiences from it?I mean apart from the usual problems with the device,like gps.
Again,thanks for your replies guys!I hope we will be cooperating and understanding each other better in the future!
(I hope I don't sound like a politician,but we have to be polite,don't we? )

Don't say one month won't tell anything.Give a phone to my sister.If it survives the month,it's most likely extremely lucky or extremely well made!
Like the original sgs id say its a lot more durable than it feels- Ive droped mine already, but didnt get a scratch
Yes i droped mine within 10mins of opening the box lol it bounced but no marks chips cracks scratches nothing. On the other hand i droped my desire hd when i had it and that gained a dent in the top both droped in my living room so they both took the same tumble and hit the same floor.

Hard to say, wait some weeks for more stories to develop
I'd say since there aren't many (any?) people screaming "ONOES IT BROKE ALREADY", it's probably made pretty well.
If it had truly bad build quality there would surely be some people complaining about it by now!
Once I got mine, I thought it felt like a toy and got a case for it immediately, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be able to survive a drop. It just means my financial paranoia got the better of me

Hopefully I'm getting mine tomorrow but If you look at the situation in which you'll drop the GSII logically.
(Correct me if I'm wrong, btw )
If you drop it, it's lighter, meaning it has less momentum on it, meaning that there's less force acting on the phone when it goes "smashing" into the ground and is there's less force, it's more likely to survive.
OFC not sure how that situation will take place in real life though.

Well,in a similar scenario my DHD kinda damaged the floor more than the floor damaged it.
Well,comparing the two isn't really that much fair.See,the way I see it,the biggest advantage of the plastic used on with the Galaxy series is that the reduced weight of the phones makes the force with which they hit the ground,should they fall,much smaller.And,using common sense,this means less damage.
That is my opinion though!

One more question guys...
How is Samsung with their warranties?Do they honour it as they should?And how do they treat people with rooted devices?
HTC is well known for the fact that they are quite good with their warranties so,coming from a long line of HTCs,I'd like to know about Samsung too.
Thanks!

It feels fragile, but like someone just said the amount we've paid for them does instill some paranoia. I had my first test yesterday. In a Case-Mate Tough Case, the phone fell out of my hand, dropped arrow straight vertically and landed on one top corner. It then flopped on its face. This was on a concrete floor. I know the case saved it, but regardless the shock it took was pretty severe. So it's not frail and I'm now a Case-Mate fan.

Are you buying sim-free? And I haven't heard any rants about warranty, so I'm assuming it's good.
Plastic definitely has it's advantages. When you think of all the shattered iP4's, and the comments above about dented aluminum HTC's it might be a blessing. That and of course weight has me thinking maybe the Sensations hand feel might not be so great when it's out of your hands....and into gravity's
I dropped mine 12 days ago.
Took it out of my pocket whilst hurrying to get to a meeting I was late for, juggled it, managing to launch it to about 5ft in the air before it landed totally flat, face down on concrete with some small stones scattered across it.
That shattered the glass and broke the LCD screen. NO damage or marks anywhere else. It has been in for repair (£90 quoted) with the official Samsung service centre in Luton since Saturday 21st. Samsung are taking their time sending the replacement.
Just a little bit annoying!

iPad 4 vs. Nexus 10 drop test - and the winner is...

I really don't like these drop tests. They're not accurate on which handles it better because they are both not dropped the same. A good test would be dropping them both face down, not on the corner.

It's not a test. It's a advertisement for SquareTrade. Note the prominent branding in smack middle of the vid.
The so-called "drop tests" take advantage of the gadget torture porn fad to get views. Peeps like to see expensive toys get destroyed. It also helps that blogs, always in need of filler to pad out their pages, pick these ads up as legit "news" and propagate them.
SquareTrade is a purveyor of accident-insurance for tech toys. These ads sensitize people to such events happening, and thus are effective in getting more of them to buy SquareTrade policies.
It's really hard to get people to watch an online ad nowaday, let alone watching one from start to end, so this is one of the more effective efforts. Congrats to SquareTrade for its creativity.

It's more of an "accidental" drop test (nobody drops their devices the exact same way accidentally), not a "100% controlled environment exact specifics scientific angles" drop test. Such a precise drop test wouldn't really mean much anyway; better of just doing an overall "durability" test at that point.
In any case, it's nice to know that the Nexus 10 can take some damage, although of course results will vary

These single drop test are no good for comparing you need to have a good range of different tests to make a comparison.

Phonesoap UV Sterilizer

Anyone heard of or used this before? Seems like a decent option for those "clean freaks" out there. A little pricey, but if it saves you from getting sick just once, it can pay for itself (or more). I don't want to use alcohol pads on the screen due to the oleophobic coating, so this seems like the best alternative. Plus you can clean anything that fits inside with it (keys, credit cards, etc.)
The G3 should fit inside (barely), but probably not with the charger attached. I also don't expect it to fit with a case unless it is minimalist (separate sterilization needed then, but not worried about damaging the case with a cleaner). Apparently they plan on making a bigger one for tablets. The issue is this phone being a phablet and it's pushing the design of the product to fit. It only takes a few minutes to sterilize, so it's not really an issue in my opinion. I'm just surprised there isn't more buzz on XDA or around the net about this kind of thing. If you think about it, our phones are probably pretty damn disgusting... You may wash your hands to eat, but then touch your phone in the middle of dinner - guess what? Covered in germs again. The website is well made, and it began as a kickstarter by two veterans for those who care. I ordered one on Amazon just to check it out. The bulbs are lifetime warrantied, but I worry about coverage further down the road since it is such a small company with little buzz. Saw a few reviews of DOA's or quick failure, but other than that people seem to like it.

Do you use money, both coins and notes? If you do I would be too worried about getting sick from the germs on your phone.
I see it this way...what doesn't kill you will make you stronger.
It's like kids. Kids get sick a lot that's because their immune system isn't strong enough. As they get sick more often, they're body will learn to fight the germs and make their immune system stronger and potentially make them less sick.

We're exposed to enough crud as it is, and I understand what you're saying. But it's obvious that a big germ cess pit is one's phone because most people never disinfect them. With that mentality, I suppose I shouldn't ever bother cleaning the bathroom or kitchen either? We make a mess in the bathroom, have food in the kitchen, and are constantly using phones. They're high risk areas for nasty stuff beyond a stuffy nose, so I see no reason why they can't be taken care of. That's my .02 though .

Its pointless. Killing bacteria on a phone isnt necessary. Millions of people have them and never clean them, but they arent all sick or dying, you don't have to worry about it. Bacteria are everywhere, your entire body is covered in them, good ones and bad ones, your immune system is designed to handle them. Stop worrying about it.

Bendgate?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y7tPczbOec&feature=youtu.be
Thoughts?
Don't be a fatty and sit on your phone i guess?
We all carry around an industrial press in our pants....don't we?? That was a couple minutes of my life I'll never get back.
Really.. ?
The fact it took less pressure to break completely than the iPhone 6 is a bit worrying....
Sorry, but I'm gonna take what a machine did to this phone with a grain of salt. I did see on another video where a guy tried to bend the S6 Edge with his hands, and just could not do it at all. I wouldn't worry about this phone bending in your pocket. I promise you, that if this machine took every phone you've owned, and put it to the test, most would bend just the same? Now I've never bent a phone in my whole life, have you?
wow...a phone bends in an industrial press...impressive. LOL All phones will break under a press like that. If it is made of metal it will bend and not go back as well. Bendgate was about the phone bending in peoples pocket from general use and overall pressure on the phone. My son actually had an iPhone 6 (not the plus) and it bent in his pocket. He was lucky that AT&T let him exchange it. This video just wasted a good phone for no reason.
The issue with the comparison with the IP6 "Bendgate" is wrong
What this demonstration misses, and what it makes people draw erroneous conclusions to, is that the iPhone 6 was easily bent by hand or in your pocket due to a particular weak spot around the volume buttons. This didn't require a machine to bend, it was performed by kids on Youtube. Drawing conclusions between how much pressure this machine took attempting to bend the phones from a point that was *not* the iPhone 6's original weak spot (in addition to Apply having quietly reinforced said weak spot since), causes people to believe that the S6 must, by way of not withstanding this machine's test, be as or more bendable than the iPhone 6 as it pertains to "bendgate", which is flat out wrong.
I think we can all agree, that we don't care how much pressure it takes to bend/break a phone, just so long as it is an unreasonable amount of pressure - phones being bent by kids and pant pockets are obviously below an acceptable threshold.

Not really, both are at pressures that aren't really going to happen in your pocket. It's another benchmark test that is useless. Sit back and think about how many times your phone is going to experience a bending force like this. The only thing I can really think of, is if it is in your back pocket... but even then, why would you sit on your phone? It's uncomfortable, and you just spent a bunch of money on an electronic device you are going to sit on? You wouldn't sit on any of your other electronics.
The fact of the matter is, yes, maybe one phone can handle less stress than the other, but at 149 lbs vs 179 lbs, both are well above a normal bending force the phones will experience. It would be a worry if one of the phones failed at 20 lbs of force... But I doubt we will here about many stories of phones bending.
Also, what was stated earlier, it wasn't that the iphone wasn't strong enough, it was that it had a weak spot due to the design. So even though the galaxy s6 had a lower threshold, it most likely doesn't have a weak spot that significantly reduces the threshold to normal, everyday forces experienced by your phone.
At the launch event, Samsung went out of their way to point out that the s6 / s6e wouldn't bend easily..even cracking jokes about it. I'm also pretty sure they said their metal frame was 50% stronger than any competitor's, so something about this video doesn't sit right with me. Not that this worries me in any way, the whole thing is ridiculous.
I wouldn't worry about this, yet... When I hear of people bending phones in their pockets or easily walking into stores and bending display devices with their bare hands, then it will become an issue.
I've had the 6 plus since day 1 never had it bend. Not even warped a little. As long as your not a dumbass with your phone you should be good.
Honestly tho. Wait until unboxtherapy can do a bend test or someone like his test. Because a machine can obviously bend any phone. Proves next to nothing in real world usage terms.

first of all., that video is of the s6 edge and the s6 edge has a thinner and smaller frame than the s6 so it is much easier to bend. second of all. the glass is curved and we all know what happens when you put force on a curved glass. it smashes easily compared to flat glass. Unless they do the s6, i would not trust that video. never the less, i am still getting the s6 edge because i like the design.
isn't it pathetic that Samsung always bashes apple like they did with iphone bendgate, then they slap their own face?
just like they mocked Apple for years about not having removable battery and SD card, and guess what? they slap their face again.

isn't it pathetic that Samsung always bashes apple like they did with iphone bendgate, then they slap their own face?
just like they mocked Apple for years about not having removable battery and SD card, and guess what? they slap their face again.

This is a moot point. No Samsung flagship to date has bent in a consumer's pocket or hands. Every device will bend/break at some point in a hydraulic press. I don't care for the negative advertising, but their point was accurate and still is with the S6 Edge.

so would you have preferred if they used their hands instead? because i'm there will be a flood of them coming soon..
personally, i don't care if the phone bends, only an idiot would put their phone in their back pocket.
i'm only saying that Samsung is notorious for mocking Apple and with the Edge it looks like it will bend under the same pressure iphone did. point is, Samsung should learn keep their mouth shut and stop bashing apple, because they are starting to look just like them.

How's that comparable to iPhone 6+ story? The guy bent 3 ip6+ with his hands, unless someone does the same thing to the edge I call apple propaganda. You can tell by looking at which sites posted the video first

bgr is the worst. they act like an unbiased site until you see the articles they name and write. it is just pure bashing. they block my messages and disregard articles i sent to them because it does not "appeal" to apple.

Only on the machine with fixed pressure points at both ends and the center of the device using bars to evenly distribute the load. But with the correct pressure points, the iPhone will bend under much less pressure. It has not yet been demonstrated that a Samsung flagship chassis will behave in the same way.

I look through the titles of their articles... It is obvious that they hate Samsung.

Build Quality issues?

Not sure if I want this phone anymore.

I just sold my note so I might go pick up a s10+ until I figure out if these issues are widespread
I have my s10 plus but now I'm debating whether to cancel pre order
Theres a good video from Mark munoz YouTube explaining this right now seems its only 2 devices malfunction others is trying to remove the plastic on top of the screen that's had been labeled not to be removed do i guess good news.
Here’s an important notice for current and future Galaxy Fold owners :angel:

SAMSUNG GALAXY FOLD ??????
Having watched an unhealthy amount of review videos, quite a few are mistreating them in my opinion. Slamming it shut really hard, tossing it down on to the desk, holding one side and trying to flip it open or closed. Not how you'd actually treat a device youd spent almost 2 grand of your own money on. And the one with the screen bulge that broke, they admitted to having used clay to hold it up for a photo shoot and that some could have got inside the hinge and caused the damage.
I'm not sure there's actually an issue here for anyone who looks after their devices. And if it turns out that the devices can't cope with real life, then get a refund. You either end up with a fantastic device that you really wanted, or you've gotten to play with one until it breaks and you get your money back. There's not really any downside apart from hassle of setting up a new phone again.
I literally watched a reviewer on YouTube put a pizza and hotdog in the Fold and pretended to eat the food from the device *smh

Yeah that really pissed me off ? for some reason. It's like they're showing off. It's not their money though.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah there attack articles are really unair whey all say in title galaxy folds are breaking No.... reviewers are breaking the devices a few idiots removed a very hard to remove screen protector that didn't come off easy at all one person got clay in the hinge another device looks like it was sat on and a display cable was likely broken
then at the very bottom, they actually say what happened there click bait caused Samsung Stock to drop sharply losing millions in value i would never send them another unit but im petty

Just like the Verge but without the failure. I don't think its build quality but rather it just happens in the real world.
