out but with that said let's go ahead and get right into it round number one backdrop three two one okay so after that backdrop the iPhone 7 only suffers a small little scuff by its camera while the Galaxy s8 being the all glass phone that it is gets its back glass cracked it's not the worst scratch in the world but definitely something you wouldn't want to happen to your seven or $800 phone giving this clear advantage by a huge margin to the iPhone in round number one round number two corner drop three two one that corner drops surprisingly didn't do too much damage to either phone the displays are perfectly intact even on the galaxy s 8 despite its thinner bezels however each phone 7000 series aluminum does get an equally ugly scuff mark on its corner making it a tie in round number two round number three space drop three two one alright so both phones get their displays cracked after that face drops that eights damage is mostly contained along the left side of the phone without too much spider webbing going across the screen whereas the iPhone screen has spider webs all over the place on top of that after going through our 10-point inspection that we do after every drop we found that the rear camera on the iPhone just stopped working it literally wouldn't show us anything when we're trying to use it indicating a loose connection or damage to the camera module with even the flash light failing to turn on the selfie cam was also affected mainly due to the cracked glass on the front giving the Galaxy s8 the clear win in round number three bonus round okay so with both phones still technically having a fully functional display we enter the bonus round where unlike in the past we'll be dropping the phones from higher up at four and a half feet compared to just three feet which should be a better test of each phone's shock resistance first up is the iPhone 7 3 to one alright still working the touch is working so uh again there's no way you hear that good we wish you glock everywhere but it's still working gee oh nothing happen on screen all the display starting to give up oh oh it's disappearing oh my gosh oh I think the home button work but yeah it's being shot so after three drops the iphone 7 s internal LCD cracked making the screen completely unresponsive to the touch and the damage just kept getting worse and worse the more we try to use the phone let's see if the Galaxy s8 can do any better three two one oh wow it'll get three two one why do I be going everywhere but it's still good okay I see glass flying everywhere let the phone don't work three two I think it think it's still good still going Wow so with the higher drop height we figured ten drops was more than enough clearly Samsung has done a really good job here after ten consecutive drops the s8 is still technically fully functional however the glass in the front is now in really bad shape with some chunks of glass missing at the edges and unfortunately it feels like the initial damage on the back that the s8 took in round number one has gotten significantly worse with spider webs now going all across the back right so with four rounds in the books let's take a look at the score card in the first round of the iPhone easily beat out the galaxy earning a near-perfect score the phone's time to seconds the s8 dominated in the third round and knocked out the iPhone in the fourth making the overall winner to Galaxy s8 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
