what's up guys David here and we already did a drop test on the iPhone 8 plus but we still haven't done one for the smaller and lighter iPhone 8 which just like the H+ apples claiming to have the strongest class to ever be used on a smartphone now the jury is still out on whether or not that statement has any truth to it so today we're gonna be dropping the iPhone eight side by side next to another glass phone in the Galaxy s8 to see which one is actually more durable but before we get to the test 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 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 tech 21 protects drop after drop with the iPhone 8 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 smart phone the Evo check case is available for both the iPhone 8 and the Galaxy S eights in the 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 dropping round number one backdrop in three two one so that backdrop cracked the glass on the Galaxy s8 but on the iPhone there's not so much as a scratch the glass is completely intact and it shows no signs of damage this result is actually somewhat surprising given what we saw with the iPhone 8 plus but you know maybe the smaller body or the lighter weight played a role here so really impressive results and an easy win for the iPhone in round number one round number two corner drop and three two one after that corner drop both bones get some nasty scuffs on there aluminium bands however the scuffs do seem to run a little bit deeper on the galaxy s 8 given the iPhone the slight advantage in round number two round number three base drop right in three two one all right so once again the Galaxy s8 has this glass crack and just like with the backdrop the results aren't actually all that bad most of the S eights damage is contained to the edges but the real story here is the iPhone 8 with its glass once again coming away unscathed I was thinking that the backdrop might have been just a fluke but nope the face drop gets us the same exact result so Wow just a really impressive result giving some credibility behind Apple's statement of using the strongest class ever on a smart phone and easily earning at the win here in round number three bonus round okay so with both phones still being technically usable we entered the bonus round where we drop each phone directly on to steal from much higher up which should put the shock and impact resistance of each phone to the test last time the Galaxy s8 survived all 10 drops in the bonus round showing its high level of impact resistance with our 10 point inspection finding it to be fully functional of course the initial damage from the first three drops was only masturbated in the bonus round with the glass on both the front and the back being even more shattered but let's see if the iPhone eight can do any better all right three two all right still going no cracks three two one okay ooh that's interesting a little shatter on the back on that drop so that is the impact and the front actually is doing fine that's kind of interesting the fat guy without the front three two one okay damn it on the back still looks the same whoo so we have shattering on the run club hook what three bonus drops to get some shattering but it looks like screen itself for working three two one oh all right still going at some chunks of glass is actually missing from the front the back a little more spider webbing but technically still works camera still works all right iPhone just one more and you make it all the way through three two one I don't wanna look at this one nice come on can I survive yes it did sweet so the iPhone eight survives all ten bonus drops as well actually being the first iPhone to ever do so and while it definitely took a beating and saw it's originally undamaged glass cracked all over the phone takes most of the check boxes in our ten point inspection the touchscreen still remains fully functional however there is some damage to the LCD itself which may or may not get worse over time also the selfie cam seems to be affected as well however this is most likely not due to the camera itself but to hold that cracked glass in front of it okay so with all four rounds in the books let's take a look at the score card we're in the first round the iPhone eight just dominated the galaxy s 8 with its glass remaining fully intact the iPhone got the edge in the second round dominated again in the third the SI it's got the edge in the fourth but overall the winner by a huge margin is the iPhone eight 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
