what's up guys David here and if you're in the market for a big phone more than likely either the Galaxy Note 8 or the iPhone 8 plus has crossed your mind and unlike in the past both of these phones are actually using an all-glass design samsung has been using all glass designs for a while now and they've made a number of durability improvements over the years but for Apple like this is the first time they've had an all-glass phone since 2011 yes they're claiming that the iPhone 8 plus is using the strongest class to ever be used in a smartphone which you know really only means one thing it's time for a phone buff style drop test but before we get into it I want to thank tech 21 for sponsoring today's episode so when tech 21 sent us their Evo check case for the iPhone 8 plus they asked us to do what we do best and put it to the test and when we did the case handled the back corner and face drops like it was nothing tech21 protects drop after drop with the iPhone 8 plus 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 the Evo check case is available for both the iPhone 8 plus and the Galaxy Note 8 in a number of different colors so click on that first link down below in the description and get your phone the protection it deserves all right let's get to the drop test round number one backdrop and three two one alright so the good news is that Bullough phones remain fully functional after that backdrop but the bad news is both of them have their back glass shattered the iPhone 8 plus looks like it has more spider rubbing overall on the back but the note eights damage actually looks a lot more severe up at the top right of the phone so really not the best results from either device round number two corner drop and three two one after that corner drop both phones get some scuff marks on their aluminum bands the damage really isn't actually all that bad but it does look like the scuffs on the note eighths are slightly deeper than the ones on the iPhone given the iPhone this slight advantage in round number two round number three face drop and three two one okay so while the face drop cracks the glass on both bones it's actually not as bad as I thought it would be especially on the Galaxy Note 8 where most of its damage is contained to the corners this is most likely thanks to the curved edges on the phone and it's a great result because most of the actual touch screen remains unaffected meaning you could probably use it without cutting yourself at least not as bad as you would on the iPhone where a good chunk of the top right of the display has some spider rubbing so easy win for the note 8 in round number three bonus round okay so with bow 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 up first is the Galaxy Note 8 3 2 okay there's no way nope we are still rocking and 3 2 1 oh I see glass like blowing every time I poles all right now we got some serious chattering going all the way across and drop okay I think this one actually killed it because when they hit the platform like I saw light kind of dispersed around nope still working all right laughs rough can I survive all ten three two one and oops turn it off working all right survived all ten drops all right so the note eight technically survives all ten drops the screen is still responsive and still fully functional however this is definitely not something that you'd want to use on a daily basis the glass on the back of the phone suffered arguably more damage than the glass on the front with all the impact from the high level drops spreading that pre-existing damage in terms of functionality after doing our 10 point inspection everything on a note eight still works save for the camera in the flash which no matter how many times we try to open it or restart it it just wouldn't work so disappointing results and let's see if the iPhone 8 plus can do any better three two one perfect drop with the results still working three two one oh my gosh okay all right so literally a trunk a chunk of glass Bella this is crazy I've never seen that before Wow super shatter screen but it's still working oh my god this is brutal okay three two one okay glass almost hit me hey my face that is crazy this is getting dangerous Oh No oh it's I think it's dead this is dead I don't care if it's not responding all right I mean it kind of responds but then I like freaked out so how about throw in the towel guys this one's done so unfortunately the iPhone 8 plus doesn't make it all the way through the bonus round like the note eight did with it literally falling apart with chunks missing from the back and that the screen is completely unusable at this point with a major portion of the LCD being blacked out now I've seen this happen on phones before and typically once it gets to this point it's only a matter of time before the damage spreads all the way through the phone and it completely gives out and as if that wasn't bad enough just like with the note eight the camera on the iPhone Ace Plus doesn't work but to its credit it at least launches the camera app where the note aids didn't even let us do that okay so with all the rounds complete let's take a look at the score card we're in the first round the iPhone just barely squeaks past the notes eight it also got the upper hand in the second round but in the third round the no dates made a comeback in a major way and finished off the iPhone in the fourth 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
