The Samsung Galaxy S22 series has passed the drop test: in a new video from Allstate on YouTube, we see that the entire Galaxy S22 line of smartphones proved to be less durable than the iPhone 13.
The video shows how smartphones are thrown on the front, back and sides to see the levels of damage. Speaking of front-facing first, the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra crashed in their first 1.8m sidewalk drop test. It is noteworthy that two of the three models were completely unusable after falling.
In comparison, the Apple iPhone 13 series was also tested by Allstate back in September 2021 and performed better overall. In terms of the front-side drop test, the iPhone 13 survived the drop with minor damage and only cracked on the second drop on the front.
In drop testing, the back panel of all Galaxy S22 models completely shattered, but everything else worked fine. Although it was difficult to use them with bare hands, as they contained shards of broken glass. On the other hand, the iPhone 13 models survived two drops with only minor cracks along the camera and corner.
Side-drop results have also been tested, which is important considering the Galaxy S22 Ultra has a curved display. In addition to being more durable overall, the iPhone 13 was also more prone to damage than the last generation Samsung Galaxy S21 series. According to Allstate Protection Plan Vice President Jason Siciliano, the design upgrades for the S22 and S22 Ultra have “resulted in a reduction in durability compared to their Galaxy S21 predecessors.”
