2018-01-29
these are the top five most breakable phones we called in our resident destroyer vanessa han doori honor to rank which phones cannot take a fall she wanted me to let you know that these tests are not really scientific so your mileage may vary let's get to it and number five is the essential phone when this phone was introduced it turned heads with barely-there bezels and an odd notch for that camera the company said it used titanium is said of aluminum since that material is more durable when we drop the essential foam from around three feet the frame scuff at selfie height around six feet the ceramic back and glass front were a okay the frame got a little scraped though what killed the essential phone in our tests two trips tumbling down a tough staircase practice ring but the ceramic back survived coming in at number four is the Samsung Galaxy s8 a three-foot drop onto concrete created a small crack on the back of the s8 but the screen survived with an eye level fault the metal frame had some dings and the back cracked some more we tried another test where we left the phone on top of an SUV then drove away the back continued to crack but the screen survived again and number three is the Apple iPhone 8 with its glass back it handled the hip-height fog just fine with the eye level test the screen was completely shattered for our final test we dropped the iPhone 8 out of a fourth-floor window because why not guess what the camera was busted in the rear glass was smashed that brings us to number two the LG G six the front panel uses Gorilla Glass 3 while the rear panel uses a griddle glass five the three-foot drop test led to a hairline fracture on the screen but the back was fine at five feet the screen was cracked some more the back was relatively unharmed which is great except you probably want the screen side to survive instead and the most breakable phone we tested with our unscientific tests is the iPhone 10 the glass back cracked on the first drop at 3 feet dropping its screen side down the back cracked even more the bottom of the iPhone 10 was pretty damaged on the screen side Apple said the new iPhone is designed to be durable but not indestructible if anyone is concerned about dropping their iPhone and damaging it we just using one of the many beautiful cases available to protect iPhone I remember when I busted one of my phones my samsung galaxy s3 fell out of my pocket while I was upside down on the v2 vertical velocity roller coaster at Six Flags the entire front was shattered let me know the craziest ways you've broken your phone again big thanks to Vanessa for her help Amaya Zack Cardinal see you online
