Abusing phones with sharp points, knives, fire, falls, frost and finally bending. You don't know what you're talking about? Well-known YouTuber JerryRigEverything has become famous for various unconventional smartphone tests. In order to properly test the smartphone, he performs hussar stunts with them. If you got the impression that no phone can withstand such treatment, you are wrong. Such a Nokia 6 withstood demanding abuse without losing a flower, on the other hand, the HTC U Ultra was not enough and it was almost "dead". What about the newly introduced Galaxy S8 from Samsung?
On both sides Galaxy The S8 is Gorilla Glass 5, which has the task of protecting the most important parts of the phone, i.e. the display, camera lenses and a whole range of sensors. Gorilla Glass of the fifth generation has a hardness of 6 according to the Mohs scale - so nothing should happen to the phone, for example, in a pocket together with keys. The only place that is more prone to scratches is the fingerprint reader.
The frame around the phone, the buttons and the grille of the phone speaker are also in good condition. They are made of metal, so they are quite durable. A sharp object will only mark these parts with a scratch or peeling of the paint.
The most interesting part of the video was the trial by fire. While LCD displays usually turn black after exposure to fire and miraculously recover after a short time, OLED panels do not last long and are almost always destroyed by fire. However, this does not apply to Galaxy S8, the properties of the AMOLED panel were restored after a few seconds.
Although it isn't Galaxy The S8 is not a durable phone, it held up quite well in the tests and performed excellently in the bend test as well. As the iFixit server pointed out, there is a relatively large amount of glue in the "es eights", which makes the possibility of repair more difficult, but at least provides more durability to the phone.
