Samsung S24 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro Max drop test results are bright

Samsung S24 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro Max are the two top high-end flagship phones currently on the market. What the two have in common is a titanium frame, but JerryRigEverything’s durability tests show that the Samsung is better in this regard. Now, PhoneBuff has put both phones through a thorough drop test, and the results are pretty interesting.

PhoneBuff’s durability testing includes a series of tests on Samsung and Apple phones. The phones were dropped onto the concrete floor from different angles.
Round 1: The first round of testing involved dropping the S24 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro Max on their backs. The glass backs of both phones were shattered, with the S24 Ultra suffering more serious damage. This is an interesting phenomenon considering the phone comes with an armor layer of Corning Gorilla Glass. The camera lens cover of the Samsung S24 Ultra also suffered more damage than the Apple phone. The winner of this round is clearly the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

First round

• iPhone 15 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra both intact.

Second round

• Vertical drop test:

  • Both phones had no obvious dents and performed well.
  • Shards of glass started to fall off on the edge of the back frame of the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
• Result: Tie

  

  Round 3: Moment of Truth

1. The third round of testing involved dropping the phone face-down to evaluate its screen durability.
2. Both the S24 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro have cracked screens, but the damage is more severe on the former.
3. The Corning Gorilla Armor Glass on the S24 Ultra was more damaged, and the cracks extended to the selfie camera module, causing a decrease in selfie quality.
4. The S24 Ultra’s under-display fingerprint sensor cannot recognize or register fingerprints.
5. The iPhone 15 Pro Max screen has less damage, and FaceID and selfie camera still work normally.

Results:

The victory in the third round belongs to Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Round 4:

This is an extra round where the Samsung S24 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro Max are repeatedly dropped face-down on a metal surface instead of concrete. The iPhone began to show more damage, with a vertical line appearing on the screen during the second drop, and by the seventh drop, the screen completely turned white and became unresponsive. On the other hand, there are also problems with the S24 Ultra. Yellow lines began to appear on the screen and cracks increased. However, even after 10 drops, the phone is still fully functional. In the fourth round, the Samsung S24 Ultra takes the crown.

Conclusion: PhoneBuff gave the Samsung S24 Ultra an overall score of 37 points, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max followed closely with a score of 36 points. Apple's iPhone received perfect scores in the first three rounds, but lost in the fourth round. This is where Samsung phones take the lead.
