what's up guys David here and today we have a foam bob style drop test with the all new Google pixel two XL where we're gonna be dropping it side by side next to the iPhone AIDS plus to see which phone is most durable but before we get into it I want to give a big thanks to tech 21 for sponsoring today's episode so when we tested tech 21 Evo check case for the pixel 2 XL the case handled the back corner and face drops like it was nothing TAC 21 protects the drop after drop with the pixel we tested still being in perfect condition this is thanks to a scientifically proven material with a three layer protection system that spreads out and absorbs the impact energy preventing it from passing on to your device you can pick up the Evo check case at your local verizon store or by using the links down below in the description so check it out and get your phone the protection it deserves alright let's get to the drop test round number one backdrop in three two one so both screens are still fully functional after that backdrop but the difference is the iPhones rear glass gets shattered while the pixel to glass remains fully intact the only real damage to the pixel are actually just a few small scratches on the aluminum at the bottom but compared to the iPhone AIDS results the pixel easily gets the win in round number one round number two corner drop in a three to one oh all right so both phones get dinged up after that corner drop but the damage does look a little bit worse on the pixel with the pixel scuffs running a little bit deeper giving the slight edge to the iPhone in round number two round number three base drop and three two one oh my gosh okay after that phase drop both won't suffer similar damage along the bottom but where they differ is up top where the pixels front glass just looks horrible I mean the iPhone screen got shattered too but on the pixel there are literally chunks of glass missing from the top and all that cracked glass up top unfortunately also distorts the selfie cam so it's an ugly win for the iPhone in round number three bonus round all right so while neither phone looks great they're both still technically fully functional so they both move on to the bonus round where they'll be dropped from much higher up directly onto steel really put in the shock and impact resistance of each phone to the test last time the iPhone eight plus was able to withstand eight additional bonus drops before it finally gave outs with this inner LCD being severely damaged and not really responding to the touch while its rear camera and flash completely failed so let's see if the pixel two can do any better and three two one glass flying around everywhere but phones still working so like we there's pretty much no glass left at the top that is nuts 3 2 1 geez 3 2 1 oh man oh man so now at this point we have three little dimples in the screen we have almost no glass left at the top and does it work oh if I wanted dial nine-one-one I get dial 1 1 but I can't no matter what I do dial 9 so at this point I'm gonna have to cut it off so this guy's out so after 5 drops we had to throw in the towel the pixel twos inner display has a few dead spots and unfortunately it doesn't respond to the touch on the entire top half of the screen nor does the response hit anything along the bottom right making the phone pretty much unusable and up the damage to the top of the phone only got worse in the bonus round with so much glass missing from the front that you can actually see some of the components underneath so not a pretty result all right with 4 rounds in the books let's take a look at the score card in the first round the pixel two just dominated the iPhone sustaining almost no damage to the back the second round was much closer with the iPhone just barely squeaking past the pixel in the third round the pixel made the iPhones shattered screen seem somewhat acceptable and finally in the fourth the iPhone was able to outlast the pixel by three additional drops however in the end it was the first round with the iPhone shattered and the pixels didn't that made all the difference along the pixel to just barely get the win here in the drop test 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
