Transcript

00:00What's up guys, EverythingApplePro here, and I've got the new Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.

00:05This thing is Samsung's vision reimagined, and it's now waterproof.

00:09It's got microSD removable memory, low-light camera that can take pictures in almost dark conditions.

00:15It's incredibly flat, and it's got a lot of great things going for it.

00:18But how's the durability?

00:19In this video, it's only natural that I'd want to test Samsung's new phone,

00:23pit it against the iPhone 6S Plus.

00:26This thing we've tested already, but as a point of reference, I thought it'd include them.

00:29So, Galaxy S7 Edge versus iPhone 6S Plus drop test in various conditions.

00:34Now, these things are both mad durable.

00:36The iPhone 6S Plus has aluminium 7000 and that new dual-ion exchange glass.

00:41We've tested it. It was durable.

00:43Galaxy S7, Gorilla Glass 4, and hardened aluminium on the edges.

00:47It exposes a lot of the glass. I'm a little worried about how it's going to fall.

00:51You know, there's a lot more exposure to sensitive materials on it.

00:54But that's what this video is for, right?

00:55We're going to test waist height, head height, and we're going to go above and beyond that

00:59and see what it really takes to destroy these things, put them out of their misery,

01:03how durable they're going to be in your day-to-day life.

01:05So, let's go ahead and pit these guys against each other

01:07and test the S7 Edge versus the iPhone 6S Plus in a durability drop test.

01:12In the past, Galaxy and Apple have been battling for as long as we know.

01:16In terms of durability, Galaxy's have always been very good

01:20and see if that continues nowadays.

01:23The design has changed a little bit. How's the durability?

01:26iPhone 6S Plus.

01:28Let's do this one first about waist high.

01:30You're taking it out of your pocket.

01:32The phone slips.

01:33Let's do a perfect side drop first in three, two, one.

01:38Nice little jump there.

01:45The material on the 6S Plus has always been very durable

01:49and there's a good dent in there.

01:54But if this was a 6 Plus, it would have been a lot more noticeable.

01:57That was a softer metal.

01:59Not bad.

02:00We're good.

02:01Same deal with the S7 Edge.

02:04This hurts.

02:04This hurts so bad because, you know, this is such a beautiful phone.

02:09But I want to know how durable it is.

02:10This is the only way.

02:12Waist high drop in three, two, one.

02:20Wow.

02:22Some of the water lodged in there from the water test just jumped out.

02:25And it looks good.

02:26So I've always noticed that with Samsungs,

02:29they're more resilient to scratches and dents.

02:31It's almost as if the material used is a lot tougher.

02:34But it looks good.

02:35It works fine.

02:37Let's do the back.

02:38Not too worried about the 6S Plus because, you know, there's no glass on it.

02:41Just the cover right here.

02:42Those do break once in a while if it lands right.

02:45But, you know, it's just, I don't know, the worst you'll get is scratches.

02:49Waist high.

02:50Rear impact.

02:51Three, two, one.

02:56Nothing to report.

02:58Just little scuffs and those aren't even that visible.

03:01Rear impact.

03:01Three, two, one.

03:03One, two, one.

03:07Wow.

03:08Okay.

03:08So still good.

03:09Starting to notice some scratches right here on the top of the glass.

03:15Otherwise, we're good.

03:16Same deal.

03:17On these precious, precious displays, beautiful AMOLED is about to say hello to the ground.

03:23First, though, the 6S Plus in three, two, one.

03:26Perfectly flat.

03:33Evenly distributed.

03:34We're good here.

03:35No issues.

03:37Definitely more glass exposure.

03:40I'm worried about this one.

03:41Three, two, one.

03:42Oh, we're good.

03:49So, again, a little scratch is starting to become visible.

03:56Otherwise, good.

03:57So, time to ramp it up to the head height.

03:59It's about five feet, I'd say.

04:01And drop these guys.

04:03Same deal.

04:04Now, I know the world doesn't talk on the phone anymore.

04:07It's all text nowadays.

04:08But say you are talking for a very long time.

04:11You just get tired and you got to let your phone go.

04:13Here it is.

04:14Head height, side impact on the 6S Plus.

04:17All right, so, more dents, more scuffs.

04:27Still usable display is good.

04:29Head height, S7 Edge.

04:31Three, two, one.

04:40Oh, that was quite the impact, too.

04:45So, we're good.

04:46It's still looking incredibly clean for the amount of abuse it's taken.

04:52All right.

04:53Oh, wow.

04:55Okay, I spoke too soon.

04:56So, there it is.

04:58The rear is cracked.

05:00Head height on the rear.

05:02You know, you have more glass on the phone, so there's a better chance that it will crack.

05:07But the important part is the front hasn't broke yet.

05:10Back impact, how much worse can it get?

05:12So, head height here.

05:15So, you're talking.

05:15And it falls.

05:17So, three, two, one.

05:22Activated some buttons right here.

05:24Camera.

05:25That's not broken.

05:26It's looking pretty good.

05:29Ooh.

05:30Ouch.

05:31You know, look at that.

05:33Spider webs everywhere.

05:34But it's actually surprisingly smooth.

05:37When the glass breaks, it doesn't jut out.

05:39It still holds in place very well.

05:42It's almost like safety glass.

05:44So, wow.

05:45Face down.

05:47Can it take the impact?

05:48Let's see.

05:49Unfortunately, the Gorilla didn't protect this guy.

05:52Let's do the front-facing test now.

05:53And this is almost certainly going to end in failure.

05:57So, let's do the iPhone first.

06:00Too much anticipation here.

06:01All right.

06:02Three, two, one.

06:07Wow.

06:09Scratch.

06:10Deep scratch in there.

06:12No crack.

06:13No crack.

06:13That's the best part.

06:15So, at this point, looking good.

06:18Let's do the same to S7 Edge.

06:21Here we go.

06:21This is it.

06:22Three, two, one.

06:26Wow.

06:27There's no way that survived.

06:30Oh, my goodness.

06:32You surprised me yet again, Samsung.

06:36Beautiful.

06:37So, no cracks.

06:39The back is starting to jut out a little bit.

06:43But, wow.

06:44Still usable.

06:45This is the most normal drop test.

06:47You're not going to usually drop your phone above five feet.

06:50And at this point, five feet, the iPhone 6S Plus looks miles better than the S7 Edge.

06:56But, the good news is the back plate is very cheap.

06:59You know, you can replace it for under $30.

07:01The front screen, though, you know, those are expensive and both are doing great.

07:05In terms of scratches, let's turn these guys off and take a look.

07:07Both are looking great.

07:09The iPhone 6S Plus isn't as good as scratch resistance.

07:12I'm seeing a lot of scratches right here, right here, up here.

07:15And I have seen none on this guy.

07:18So, very impressive scratch resistant on the Gorilla Glass 4.

07:23Let's up this and do a 10-foot drop.

07:2610 feet because tall people do exist.

07:30And a side impact, I'll try and land it on the side.

07:32It's kind of hard to do, but here we go.

07:35Three, two, one.

07:40So, from 10 feet, your headphone jack is bent.

07:43It's going to be very hard to put it in.

07:45Otherwise, not looking bad.

07:48The Galaxy S7 Edge, definitely worse for the wear.

07:51But this thing has a couple dents that are noticeable.

07:54Your headphone experience won't be as pleasant.

07:57But the display has survived.

07:59And that's the best part.

08:00So, to the S7 Edge.

08:02Two, one.

08:07Wow, so, I think I see the battery, the shape of it start to emerge.

08:12Pretty soon, it's going to pop out here.

08:16But it's a survivor.

08:17Not looking too bad.

08:18The actual metal, the scuffing.

08:21But this glass back, yeah.

08:23This is 10 feet, iPhone 6S Plus.

08:27Three, two, one.

08:33Still alive.

08:35That's a solid thunk, too.

08:37The S7 Edge, will it survive?

08:39I don't think so, but let's do the same deal.

08:41Face down, 10 feet, dropping in three, two, one.

08:45Oh, yeah, that's it.

08:52So, we've got LCD bleeding in there.

08:56It is still working, though.

08:57So, I guess that's the good news.

09:00Ouch.

09:01So, 10 feet.

09:04Which phone is going to survive?

09:05The iPhone 6S Plus.

09:07We've tested it many times in the durability drop tests.

09:10And every single time, it's impressed me with how durable it has been.

09:15Definitely, 6S Plus is the one that's looking better here.

09:18So, this is just to see, naked phones, which one is going to survive.

09:22And both did great.

09:23You know, if you're not going to be dropping it from 10 feet, your phone will survive.

09:27It'll do just fine.

09:28Of course, this guy has the advantage of being water resistant, waterproof.

09:33And I don't think that can be topped.

09:34So, let's see what it takes to completely destroy this guy and go up to 20 feet.

09:40Drop both of them.

09:41See which one will survive.

09:42Dropping in three, two, one.

09:51Both of these guys landed on their back.

09:54They did some aerodynamic skills.

09:56A lot of glass shards coming out of here.

09:59Redo face down.

10:01Three, two, one.

10:07Oh my goodness.

10:08The iPhone 6S Plus just refuses to die.

10:12It's actually bent like a banana a little bit right there.

10:17But the screen still hasn't broken on this guy.

10:21Still working.

10:22I just can't believe this.

10:23It's bent.

10:25But it still doesn't want to break.

10:26So, that doesn't speak miles about durability.

10:29I don't know what else will.

10:30So, there you have it.

10:31Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge versus iPhone 6S Plus.

10:36Both very durable.

10:37One, you know, survived far longer than the other.

10:41And the S7 Edge, the battery is loose inside.

10:43You can hear it shaking.

10:45You see a whole bunch of cracks.

10:47But it's still trooping on.

10:49It's going to be expensive to fix.

10:51But it does work.

10:52So, there you go guys.

10:53Thanks so much for watching.

10:54Be sure to check out the water test and actual comparison.

10:57Have a great day guys.

10:58Hope you enjoyed this video.

10:59Peace.

11:00Peace.
