what's up guys David here and you guys have been asking for the LGV 30 drop test you've been messaging me on Facebook you've been leaving comments here on YouTube so here it is today we're gonna be doing a foam love solid drop test with the feed 30 we're gonna be dropping it side by side next to arguably its biggest competitor in the galaxy notes 8 but before we get to the test I want to give a big thanks to tech 21 for making this video possible so when we tested the Evo check case for the LG V 30 and handled the back corner and face drops without a problem tech 21 protects drop after drop with the V 30 we tested still looking flawless tech 21 cases are drop tested 20 times to ensure durability and long-lasting protection to be able to withstand the multiple drops that occur in the everyday use of a smartphone the Evo check case is available for both the LG v 30 and the Galaxy Note 8 in a number of different colors so click on that link down below in the description and get your phone the protection it deserves all right let's get to dropping round number one backdrop in three two one alright so after that backdrop both phones pass our ten point inspection and remain fully functional but cosmetically there's no contest the V 30 surprisingly survives the backdrop with almost no visible damage while the note 8 has its rear glass completely shattered so a really impressive result for the V 30 and an easy win for it here in round number one round number two corner drop in three two one after that corner drop both phones have their aluminum band scuffed but because the bands are all metal without any kind of layering over top of them the scuffs honestly don't look all that bad and neither phone really did better than the other year making it a draw in round number two round number three face drop in three two one alright so that face drop crack the glass on the front of both phones but the result on the Galaxy Note 8 does look better with the majority of the cracks being contained in just two corners which may or may not be due to it having curved edges the V 30 on the other hand suffers more significant cracking with a shattered glass of top distorting the selfie cam giving the edge to the note aids in round number three bonus round okay so with bull phones still being technically usable we entered the bonus round where we drop each phone directly onto steel from much higher up which should put the shock and impact resistance of each phone to the test last time the Galaxy Note 8 was able to survive not one not two but all 10 bonus drops while the glass in the front and the back of the phone did take a beating most of the display itself remains undamaged except for on the edges however unfortunately after doing our ten point inspection we found that no matter what we did we couldn't get the camera or the flash to work so a decent results but not necessarily the best let's see if the V 30 can fare any better three two one see doesn't make a lot of noise because this phone is so lightweight and still looks like it's working cool three two one good drop is the result good ooh alright so we have a little dimple in the screen here obviously way more shattering the back doesn't have any shattering between some phones that shatter on the back after all this impact flip the backs holding up nicely the screen looks like it's working and pretty much all the corners so let's go on cheer up whoo ooh that one hurt that one hurt um nothing much I mean same story a little bit more like little fractures in the glass but it's still responding so this thing is doing really well and drop ten drops can you do ten bonus shops three two one whoo the hoenn sounded the worst - did it do it and yep looks like it is still fully functional at least the touchscreen is okay so the v30 also survived all 10 bonus drops and while the front glass looks really bad the rear glass still remains in perfect condition and unlike on the note 8 the rear camera and the flash still work however the wide-angle camera on the back did get damaged with it unable to focus on anything you can actually see what looks like the camera housing at the bottom of the viewfinder so what the lens may have gotten somewhat dislodged the display itself though still remains fully responsive to the touch however when you lock and unlock the phone you do get this flicker that happens and what's weird is if you keep the always-on display option turned on in the settings the screen won't turn back on after you lock it you have to like fully restart the phone to get the screen to come back on again but if you disable the always-on display option this doesn't happen and it works just fine so a really interesting result all right before we take a look at the scorecard let's quickly review our new scoring method because man we needed one so from now on the scores will be based only off of how a phone performs relative to the phone it's being compared to and not off of any other phone from other drop tests the winner of each round will receive 10 points with the loser scoring anywhere between 6 and 9 points depending on how much worse it did if two phones perform similarly each phone will be given 10 points and after all four rounds the scores will be tallied up to determine an overall winner anyways let's get to the scorecard in the first round declared went to the v30 whose glass remained fully intact the bones tied in the second round and the third the no.28 suffered less damage on the front and then finally in the fourth while the notates display looked better the V 30s camera and flash still worked contributing to the V 30s higher overall score making it the winner here in this 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
