Drop Test Video: Samsung Galaxy S7 vs HTC 10. Here is the Winner !!!

Comparison is a very important thing in the Smartphone Industry because we really need it to know which device is better for us to purchase, especially when it comes to durability, affordability, features, strength, performance and so on. And that's why today's post is gonna be another interesting post that features a video which compares two of the latest flagship smartphones of 2016, to shed more light - it's actually a drop test between Samsung's Galaxy S7 and HTC 10 [Video]. Before we move on, here are some things we need to consider!

The HTC 10 has a metallic build while the Samsung Galaxy S7 is surrounded by glass, if you are to judge yourself, you would probably guess right which one will suffer most when it comes to a drop test. Well, using what Phone Buffs describes as a professional drop test machine, both devices were dropped from a meter (3.3 feet) high on their back, side, bottom and front. Any Smartphone that survive the drops would be subjected to further testing until it could no longer make a phone call. 

As we expected, despite the harder landing on the back drop for the HTC 10, the metallic model held up much better than the Galaxy S7 in terms of damage. The bottom drop saw both phones respond similarly to the fall; this time it was the HTC 10 that was slightly worse off after the fall. Both phones took on some damage on the right side of the bottom. The pair once again suffered evenly on the side drop. Both the HTC 10 and Galaxy S7 had scuffing all the way down the side that took the impact.

 

Next came potentially the scariest test of all, the front drop. When it was completed, it turned out that neither front screen survived as both models ended up with a cracked display. The HTC 10 actually did better than its rival since it was still usable despite the damaged display. The Galaxy S7 screen, on the other hand, was no longer working after that one drop. Since it could still make phone calls, the HTC 10 went to the bonus round where it would continue getting dropped until the screen was no longer functional. It took an amazing 32 additional front facing falls for that to happen. WTF!

The HTC 10 is an amazing device which is very strong and it eventually defeated its rival - the Galaxy S7 at the end of the drop test. Now, take heart as you see the expensive flagships being dropped & stylishly damaged in the interesting drop test video below -
