what's up guys David here and due to popular demand I am back again with yet another drop test this time with the HTC One m9 so if you saw the last video you know that instead of doing your typical drop test we're going to be doing it Bombo of style where we use a professional drop test machine to help us get more consistent drops and we use two different services in both tile and concrete to help us better determine a phone's relative strength so that way you can actually compare one phone drop results to another last time the iPhone 6 got a durability score of 5.3 and the galaxy s6 got a score of 3.7 so how will the HTC One m9 stack up well let's go ahead and find out okay so we'll start this thing off by dropping the HTC One m9 from one meter onto tile alright so despite that dramatic bounce the m9 had after the drop the back the phone actually fared pretty well with only minor scuffs and scratches mostly to the right edge but nothing too bad in this next drop we're dropping the one m9 from one meter onto its side so the phone still works with the only damage from that drop to the bottom of the phone with a large scuff on the bottom right along with some light scratches across the bottom left now it's time for the tough one with a face front drop from one meter on to tile so while the screen is working and fully functional the glass over top of it has shattered spider webbing all the way across and can definitely cut your finger if you use it enough all right time to take it to the next level and test just how tough the m9 is by dropping it on its back again but this time on an even tougher surface in concrete so another crazy balance by the m9 after the back drop but this time it does sustain more damage than the back drop on tile as well as kind of to be expected with a tiny little dent near the center along with heavier scratches and scuffs along the bottom insides of the back of the phone moving on we're dropping the one m9 on its side from one meter onto concrete all right so the phone is still working with all the damage coming to the bottom where it made impact with additional scuffing going all the way across and as you can see they're actually pretty heavy scratches at least when compared to the other phones that we've tested all right you ready this last drop is the hardest drop in the whole test dropping face front from one meter onto concrete and the screen still works and is fully functional of course the glass is now even more shattered than it was before with some pieces actually looking like it'll fall out if you shake it but nonetheless the phone still works so if you absolutely needed to use it you technically still could of course at the risk of cutting yourself so in the end the HTC One m9 gets a phone book durability score of five point five beating both the iphone 6 and galaxy s6 as well as taking the top spot in our durability chart at least for now anyways if you liked the video and want to be among the first to see more foam style content just like this be sure to hit that subscribe button thank you guys for watching and as always I'll see you guys in the very next episode
