Among the many improvements to the line Galaxy S22 also includes stronger construction materials. In addition to the most durable Gorilla Glass Victus+, the new phones also have a frame that Samsung calls Armor Aluminum.

Model Galaxy S22 you according to the YouTube channel Pbkreviews earned a durability rating of 10 out of 10, the model Galaxy S22Ultra then he left with a grade of 9,5 out of 10, and that was a run over.

Display of all tested models Galaxy The S22 broke on the first drop from a height onto an uneven pavement. The base model and the Ultra model were rendered unusable due to the extent of the damage, while Galaxy At least the S22+ remained operational. During drop tests on the back of the device, the panels also shattered on the first impact.
