Phone drop tests are a highly watched affair. Perhaps one could speak of constructive destruction in the interest of science. The tests often don't fully reflect the ways in which your device can be damaged by a drop in real-world conditions, but you can get a rough idea of how the Samsung range would Galaxy The S23 could hold its own against other devices in a standard drop test.
Video originating from Allstate Protection Plans YouTube can offer exactly such an idea. The company embarked on testing the durability of the phones Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23 Ultra with a special focus on how the recycled glass and plastic materials Samsung has incorporated into its industrial designs will behave. Each device was subjected to two drops from a height of 6 feet, or less than 2 meters, with the help of the devices, in one case the phone landed on the front surface and in the other case on the back. Since each of the tested phones is covered with glass on both sides, it is not difficult to guess what will happen.
Galaxy The S23 Ultra escaped almost unscathed on the front as it landed on one of its curved edges, potentially limiting most of the damage to just the corner of the display glass. A fall on the back only scratched the surface, but made the main camera completely unusable as most of the impact hit the lens element. The S23 ended up with a dented aluminum frame but was otherwise undamaged. The S23+ model suffered significant damage to the display glass, but all three devices were still fully functional. Unfortunately, the recording does not show individual devices falling to the side.

Advice Galaxy The S23 uses Corning Gorilla Glass Victus, where 2.22% of the glass in the product comes from recycled sources and a small portion of the polyester substrate is made from ocean-bound plastic. Corning says the Victus 2 has some of the best performance ever when dropped from 3 feet onto concrete. That's certainly great, assuming you accidentally drop the S23 off your desk at lunch, but if you stumble on your way home, for example, and the device falls out of your hand, it's a different matter. If you also had sandals on everyone's feet, you have to expect a stubbed toe and an unpleasant phone repair bill.

Allstate's official statement is that the S23 series is more drop-resistant than the S22, even when using recycled materials. Of course, we can form our own opinion. It is definitely worth getting a quality case and screen protector for your phone. And while no protection is perfect, this way you can avoid many problems and annoying repair costs.
Scrap 🙂
I've had the s23 ultra for a month and in the first 5 days, nothing scratched my lcd when I had it in my pocket, I don't understand how it happened, but there is a scratch that you catch with your fingernail on the s22 ultra, nothing like that happened to me in a year of use
The new glass is more resistant to cracking but more susceptible to scratches.
I have the same problem. After about a week, a scratch or a small crack, as if I hit the display with something. I carry the body in a leather case, 3 mm thick leather on each side, so I don't know what it is. I'm not even talking about the pidi skrabanvich, which can be seen mainly in the sun 🙂
