On March 29, the Koreans from Samsung officially presented the eighth generation of their flagship model, the Galaxy S, a model from which absolutely all the features and specifications had already been leaked, so the event itself had very little appeal. . I have to admit, I was hoping that Samsung will launch something new that had not been leaked, but unfortunately it was not. As we told you a few days ago, the main difference between the S7 and the S8 is aestheticsThanks to the infinite screen (as Samsung has called it), which reduces the upper and lower frame while the sides are part of the screen as we all know.
While the guys at iFixit receive your unit and begin to examine it to see the repair possibilities (which are probably very few, like its predecessor, if the screen breaks) on YouTube we can already find some comparisons in which The resistance to fall between the new Samsung terminal and an iPhone 7 is tested. TechRax, subjects both devices to two drops from 1,5 meters. In the first one, both terminals are released sideways and as we can see, both models hardly receive any damage to the housing, damage that has caused a mark on the housing.
However, when both devices are thrown upside down, iPhone 7 get the worst of it, since not only the glass of the screen is broken, but it has also stopped working, because the terminal is still on since the dedicated button to silence the iPhone, offers us the desired response when activated. On the contrary, the Galaxy S8, and its dreaded screen protected with Gorilla Glass 5, also suffers the effect of screen breakage, but to a lesser extent, since only cracks are shown on the screen that do not affect its operation. .
If we look closely at the fall of the S8, we can see how does not fall on the ground with the entire front, as if it happens to the iPhone 7. But the fall does cause a bounce on the ground with which the S8 receives not a frontal impact, but two but on the upper sides of the screen. What is clear is that manufacturers must continue working not only on battery life, but also on the protection offered by the glass, a protection that despite the promises of the manufacturers, remains the weakest part forcing the user to have to make use of screen protections in addition to covers.
That nonsense does not fall the same in the second attempt with the screen upside down, the iPhone falls worse that is why it breaks.
Dear Jimmy. On this site, even if an image shows you an iPhone exploding to pieces, here they will tell you that it is your poor appreciation of the latest feature added to the device. Here they do not analyze Apple devices to provide a consumer service, they seem more sellers of Manzanita.
You've honestly hit a wall. I am the editor who when he has to criticize Apple, he does it first as well as when I have to defend him. If you look closely at the video, you can see how the iPhone falls with the entire front on the ground while the Galaxy S8, hits one edge and bounces to the other, it does not fall in the same conditions as the iPhone 7.
Check before criticizing when you are not right.
Mr. Sala. Since you are an "editor" learn and follow the rules of the trade. As an editor, you have the publication itself to express yourself and you should not reply to readers' messages by discrediting their observations and even less by disrespecting the petulance and clumsiness that you do.
At no time have I been lacking in this regard, I have simply told him to look closely at the fall of both terminals.
It is logical to think that being a blog about Apple, and especially the iPhone, it is assumed that we should praise them at all times, something that I do not particularly do, because there are things about Apple and the iPhone that cannot be defended, things as they are.
I invite you to watch the video again and notice how the iPhone falls and how the Galaxy S8 falls, which to be honest, could have received more damage when bouncing in the fall.
I'm sorry my previous comment offended you.
Greetings.
The test is good but the iPhone takes the worst part in the fall but it is to my liking in partilar I like the galaxy better even though it was the broken one is a matter of taste and the video editor is not doing any device a favor because none pays you
