Galaxy Note 7 Note vs iPhone 5 vs 6s: which flagship is harder on … – Tudocelular.com

One of the great advantages of the Galaxy Note 7 is to be the first smartphone to hit the market with the fifth generation of reinforced glass Gorilla Glass. And because it is a novelty, it is normal that several people are interested in testing the enhanced strength of the new glass from Corning. We have seen a test that shows that the Note 7 eventually suffered damage, at least in the rear, while the front virtually left unscathed.

A new test done by Zach Straley on your YouTube channel puts to the test Gorilla Glass 5 Glass resistance Gorilla 4 Galaxy Note 5. To complete the test was also included iPhone 6s. The methodology consists of three devices drop from an average height of 1.5 meters in different positions to measure the metal body strength back and also the glass that covers the entire front part.

Check the drop test:

the test starts dropping the devices at a height just above the user’s pocket where we see that all participants had damage to the metal structure, but nothing worrying. The second test, the same height above shows that the rear of the Galaxy Note 7 broke completely, while Note 5 passed the test. The iPhone 6s, having a metal back, did not suffer significant damage.

The second part of the test is of a greater height, this time from the user’s ear height, where we see being three devices dropped from its lateral side and having retested – and again, no critical damage. The second part of deploying the phones of the same height, but this time with the screen face down. Here is where we have the biggest surprise: the screen of the Galaxy Note 7 broke the edges, while the Note 5 came out almost unscathed in the test. The iPhone 6s screen also broke, even more than the Note 7

Closing the test have the equipment being dropped from a height of over two meters, and as expected, the Note 5 screen also broke up and stopped working. While the Note 7 screen, despite having broken a little, still functional. The iPhone 6s screen also stops running and the Touch ID button fully break.

What we see is that the Gorilla Glass 5 easier to break than the previous generation, but the Galaxy Note 7 was the only device who finished the test with its screen still working.
