huge thanks to LastPass for sponsoring this drop test today will be dropped testing the iPhone 10 our burst the pixel 3 I noticed something strange when the pixel 3 came out all of the review units were breaking from people like iJustine mkbhd Danny even Jonathan Morrison broke Austin Evans unit and I don't think it's their fault it could just be that the pixel 3 is weaker than it should be but the only way to find out for sure is with a drop test huge thanks to LastPass for sponsoring this drop test switching phones as a hassle every single app has its own password and if you're probably being lazy and using the same password for everything that's not good one app that makes switching phones easier is LastPass used by literally millions of people LastPass has the ability to generate long secure passwords that are encrypted which means they're secure and you never have to remember what they are since they're saved inside of the LastPass app and autofill for you and since you don't need to remember your passwords you don't need to write them down somewhere that's not secure and you don't need to use the same password for everything whether you're at your computer or your cell phone LastPass is 100% free I'll leave a link in the description but if you want a few extra perks like a gigabyte of encrypted storage it's just two bucks a month use things - LastPass again for sponsoring this drop test link is in the description let's get started so you might remember from the previous iPhone 10's drop test the 10s did really really well it didn't break it all but the side rails of the iPhone 10s are made from stainless steel which is much different than aluminum aluminum is softer which could change the results of the drop test so right here we'll be recording in slow motion with my transparent pixel three and then over on this side we'll be using the razor phone too which is also transparent and then I'll be performing the drop test from relatively realistic situations you know like getting up from a chair or knee height dropping it as it pulls out of your pocket from waist height and then if it lasts long enough we'll be doing from a head height drop all the way onto the concrete both these phones are brand new and ready to be drop tested so for the first drop we'll start from about knee height because that's why if you're sitting in a chair and the phone's on your lap and it just slides off that's where it'll be we'll start with the iPhone first sitting a knee height so far so good and now we'll do the pixel - starting from knee height both phones so far looking pretty good no damage done to the iPhone 10 are and no damage done to the pixel 3 a little bit of scuffing right there along the the aluminum frame scuffing up along the top but no cracks or anything yet both phones are still working perfectly fun drop test number two this time I'm gonna be pulling it out of my pocket and simulating it just slipping out of your hands starting with the iPhone 10 are and the pixel 2 pulling it out of my pocket letting it drop check this out no damage done to the back glass yet still got those same scuffs along the bottom no cracks along the screen yet same thing goes for the iPhone 10 are no damage whatsoever a little bit of scuffing right there along the top let's go for drop number three will do the same pocket style drop as last time starting with the iPhone 10 are pulling it out of my pocket and then the pixel three pulling it out of my pocket so far no major damage yet pixel three oh wait just kidding the pixel three is the first one to get damaged right there along the corner the glass is shattered just a little bit down at the bottom still no major damage just a little bit it's a little bit of scuffing no damage on the back and no damage on the front it'll be itching to see which phone cracks first this time we'll do it from chest height I'll be pulling out of my pocket and dropping it from about you know a four and a half feet or so drop number four okay we'll go with the pixel oh yeah my pocket four-and-a-half feet still no damage I'm impressed you would think the phones from a drop that tall do you think there'd be more damage we're gonna keep going until one of these is completely broken yeah the pixel three has a little bit of damage up top but that's not a crack yet let's do one more from chest high chest high iPhone drop right here straight down chest high pixel three drop right here straight down I think we might have a crack check that out right there all along the bottom but still no damage to the screen we'll keep going until one of these screens is shattered no damage to the camera lenses no damage to the upper glass one interesting thing to note with the repair prices of both of these phones to repair the screen on the iPhone 10 are is a hundred and ninety-nine dollars to repair the back glass it's 399 now to repair the back glass on the pixel three is just a hundred and to repair the screen is two hundred and sixty nine dollars because it's an OLED so the screen is more expensive on the pixel 3 but the back is much less expensive to replace than the iPhone 10 are now let's do it from head height alright we've got the iPhone 10 are from head height just like you're talking on the phone and you accidentally drop it oh that's a bad one and then we got the pixel three head height talking on the phone accidentally dropping it I bet still no damage to either one let's keep going we're going telescreen breaks iphone 10 our head height and then pixel three head height oh boy pixel three is not having a good day check this out right there the camera lens is completely shattered out of the pixel three that's not good news but the iPhone 10 are still intact I'll check it out there's a screen crack right there all through the screen all the way down so would you rather have a cracked screen or a shattered camera lens the reason I don't do drop tests very often is because the results are totally unpredictable you know it really just depends on what surface you're dropping on how high it is how the phone flips in the air but it's still interesting to see what breaks first on which phone with the pixel three the back glass is cracked along with the camera lens both relatively inexpensive repairs but with the iPhone 10 are the front screen cracked which is the cheapest thing to fix $199 but the back glass is still intact which is good because the repair price on the back glass of the iPhone 10 are is 399 dollars through Apple directly let's do one more drop for kicks and giggles from above head height and we'll drop it from there all right the screen cracked iPhone 10 are from above head height will do it right here no the screed and then we have above head height the pixel three oh man above head height that did not turn out well for the iPhone at all the back glass is totally shattered all the way through and the screen is now completely worthless Wow the pixel three the screen is still totally functional which is good because it's an OLED and relatively expensive to repair and the back glass has about the same amount of damage as before cracks running through the whole thing and there we have it I tried to keep it as scientific as possible but the results of this particular drop test are a completely destroyed iPhone 10 are both the front in the back non-usable the display is completely non-functional and we still have a functional pixel 3 with the cracked glass and it cracked camera lens so the main takeaway from this is that a case is always a good idea because glass is glass and glass can break which phone held up the best in your opinion let me know down in the comments if you have any questions leave down to
