what's up guys David here and today we have another foam of style video this time a drop test between the galaxy sm+ and the iPhone 10 as Smacks now what's interesting about this drop test is on the one hand you have the iPhone which Apple claims is using the strongest glass to ever be used in a smartphone or at least that's what they were saying back when they announced it and then on the other hand you have the galaxy s 10 plus which is using the new Gorilla Glass 6 which at least according to Corning the company who makes Gorilla Glass can survive drops up to 2 times better than Gorilla Glass 5 which is what Samson was using on their phones last year which of course begs the question which one of these two very expensive smartphones is actually more durable and of course if you don't want to drop a thousand dollars on a smart phone you can always check out this new 3d smart phone that comes in at just under $300 from the sponsor for today's video in rocket so rocket just launched a number of new smart phones that offer some pretty unique features without breaking the bank the i/o 3d and 3d pro used patented screen technology that allowed them to play 3d contents without needing to wear 3d glasses for contents rocket is including one month of their rock flick service for free which they say has the most extensive 3d library in the world but going beyond just 3d all their smart phones include 12 months of rock talk for free where you can make unlimited outbound domestic and international calls over Wi-Fi and you also get 12 months of rock health for free where you can talk to a personal doctor whenever you need and benefit from pharmacy savings of up to 75% on prescriptions rocket also has other bundled services like roadside assistance and music at a low monthly cost which you can learn more about in addition to learning with new smartphones at the first link down below in the description alright let's get to the drop test round number one backdrop in three two one after the backdrop both phones have their rear glass damaged the Gorilla Glass six on the Galaxy has 10 plus didn't really seem to make any difference here despite all of Corning's claims with the glass completely shattering and spider webbing all across the back the iPhones glass on the other hand while not completely undamaged did significantly better with its back having just a few cracks and you know although it's big protruding camera lens did get a few scuffs around its housing the iPhone did well enough here to get the win in round number one round number two corner drop in three two one the screens on both phones remain undamaged after that corner drop which is actually pretty impressive when you consider just how thin the bezels are on these devices and while both phones did receive a few scuff marks on the corners themselves there really isn't much of a difference between the two making it a tie in the corner drop round number three face drop three-to-one the face drop did its damage to both phones though cracks on the iPhone are mostly contained to the bottom corner of the screen whereas the s tense cracks spiderweb all across the front and to make matters worse after doing our fifteen point inspection where we test everything from the cameras and sensors to the flashlight and charging port we found that the s tens finger and scanner under the glass no longer works like no matter how many times we tried how much pressure we applied we just couldn't unlock the phone with a fingerprint we even tried restarting the S 10 without any luck and after going into the settings the s 10 wouldn't even allow us to register a new fingerprint so a really really disappointing result for the s 10 plus here giving the win to the iPhone in round number 3 bonus round okay so while the sans fingerprint scanner no longer works the good news is everything else still does meaning it gets to go on to the bonus round now we call it the bonus round because it's the least important round in this test due to the fact that nobody really drops their smartphone ten times consecutively however this brown does at least give you an idea as to the impact and shock resistance on a phone last time the iPhone was able to survive three consecutive drops before the area between these seconds and the third rose on the touchscreen stopped working so we'll see if the galaxy as 10-plus can do any better and three two one so one bonus shop in phone looks like it's good if the screen works yes it does all right let's move on three two one that was amazing this fell flat no balance just stuck the landing can we call yes we can and uh one more drop buddy and you're done all right drop number ten and three two one so some glass flew out just for the grand finale this insane totally ridiculous bonus round and bone is still going can make an emergency call if we need it to all right it passed so after ten consecutive drops from just under one and a half meters the sn+ seems to still be going relatively strong we checked if all those drops smack some sense back into the fingerprint scanner but as expected it's still Ino in that department but otherwise the camera and the touchscreen still remain fully functional so a pretty good result in the bonus round okay so with all four rounds in the books it's time to take a look at the scorecard the way scoring works here is the winner of each round always receives ten points with the loser of each round receiving somewhere in between six and nine points depending on how much worse it did so in the first round the Gorilla Glass six on the s ten plus didn't seem to help at all with it shattering significantly worse than the iPhone in the second round both phones held up rather nicely and the third both bones cracked but the galaxy has ten suffered one of the worst results we've had in a while with the functionality of its fingerprint scanner being completely destroyed and finally in the fourth round the SN proved that while a single drop can kill its fingerprint scanner at least its other components have great impact and shock resistance but in the end the S tense more shattered glass and the failure of the fingerprint scanner caused it to match making the winner of this drop test the iPhone 10's max anyways that is it for me in this video thank you guys for watching and as always I'll see you in the very next episode
