It's funny how both "titanium" phones are less durable than their predecessors
word. just look at the note 20 ultra drop test vs this crap.
right? We need to go back to the S21 and iphone 12 days. Those two were literal tanks.
Aluminium absorb shocks and get deformed but titanium is hard and it won't absorb shocks, it'll pass those impact to glass and internal components as u can see clearly in the video. Nowadays smartphone brands are fooling everyone, they'll use new useless stuff and increase price of the phone.
The sides are, just not the glass 😂
Because titanium is stronger than aluminum. All of that shock, instead of deforming the side, just goes to the glass. Aluminum is the best material for phones, and nothing one can say will disprove that. Overall, it was a very disappointing year from Samsung, not even including this drop test.
Titanium is more rigid while aluminum is more flexible. I don't understand why people think that titanium is gonna make the phone better at absorbing impact. It only makes it better when it has impacts on the edges, but not on the screen. If that impact doesn't affect the frame, well, it has to go through something else on the phone - like the screen.
Aluminium is so great at absorbing heat and impact . Titanium transfers more of the drop shock to the glass . Just because Titanium is expensive and cooler to say , people think it would be better.
It's all marketing I guess. From a young age, people learn that Titanium is the "strongest" metal - without knowing the full context and nuisances of material science, and that sometimes the "weaker" material is actually more suitable and practical/gives better results. People also view things like Titanium as an expensive and "premium" material. All the marketing that it's "Space-Grade/Aerospace" Titanium, etc. Therefore, when both Apple and Samsung are charging $1.2K+ for their phones, and Apple implemented Titanium whereas Samsung still stuck with Aluminum for the S23 Ultra, Samsung looked bad and "cheap" in comparison, so it pressured them to implement it too
@PrabhablyAGoodKZheadr Titanium isn't the strongest metal on earth. it's Tungsten many people doesn't know bout this it's just Titanium has a nice Ring to it clearly its weaker grade Titanium apple and Samsung uses not what we expect
My 6.7 inch screen on an aluminium frame bent after 4 years of constant use of taking out of my sort of tight jeans pockets. So now the display does not fit perfectly and it pops out a bit and dust particles enters my selfie camera. A TPU soft case make aluminium frame redundant. Its a good move for people who use protection case
It's not about rigidty, but the titanium feels more premium and much beautiful and less shining
The thing to make your phone more durable than ever: case and screen protector
Truth. I swear they make the back of these phones glass to make more money on repairs.
literally a $5 clear case and tempered glass protector will save you from 95% of drops under normal use (given that you dont abuse ur phones)
Invest in a case. Spigen, Otterbox, UAG. Oh yeahhhh. 😊
No screen protector for me I rather use lanyard and a decent case
why you don't use screen protector?@@TomiIslam33
the iphone durability definetly peaked at the 12
yep. and the samsung peaked at the Note 20/S21 (same generation as he iphone). Coincidence right?
@@pettyoffndebe163a pretty big coincidence. Frick all this titanium shit, Apple doing no ‘innovation’ and Samsung just copying the innovation-less idea.
@@raed.gilanithere isn’t much left to innovate in smartphone industry other than front display. That’s the reason why brands are focusing more on foldable displays.
Yeah, the 13 also
@@raed.gilani you talking about me brother?
Wow, okay. The gorilla armor certainly disappointed me there. I didn't expect it to shatter upon the first on-face drop.
It's not curved anymore.
"4x more scratch resistant" so it's 4x more fragile from dropping
More scratch resistant = less shatter resistant
it's basic physics which cannot be avoided I guess. The more scratch resistant a material is, the more brittle and easy to shatter it becomes. Gorilla Armor performed exceptionally well in JerryRigEverything's scratch test. Personally, I would always prefer shatter resistance because I'm going to put a screen protector on to avoid scratches anyways
Perfect phone for me anti shock case and lanyard i hate scr protection...@@PrabhablyAGoodKZheadr
These phones are going backwards in durability. Just look at the Note 20 ultra drop test. it barely shattered.
Everything is regressing
I'm watching on my Note20 Ultra Built to last, but as Zack says Glass is glass 😅
The thing with glass is you either gonna go with shatter resistance which increases scratch vulnerability or the opposite way. You can't have both in one glass
and glass breaks @@beezrow
@@Alirezarz62 true. But like he said, the company can make the glass thicker. The Samsung S9 had screen glass twice as thick as normal. That phone screen was very durable.
Half of KZheadrs- Samsung used a flat screen which is stronger because force is not centered on the edges like curved glass... Tests- Glass is glass and glass shatters. Curved glass is fine!
Probably would've done way better with an aluminum frame. The titanium just transfers the force to the glass.
Probably because it landed on its side of the glass instead of full face
i mean glass doesnt really like being curved but the difference wont matter when you drop it flat on concrete, maybe on softer floors it would matter
@@nothughmahn the titanium to plastic to aluminum might help or might hurt. I would be fine with aluminum for a phone- it is lighter than steel or titanium and is still plenty durable. The coating on the frame is easily scratch able. I would rather have a preinstalled glass screen protector on a curved display then a titanium frame.
Flat screens are still better imo, just for other reasons.
Looks like the S23 Ultra is way more durable than the S24 Ultra. I am watching on my violet S24 Ultra with no case. Now, I am gonna have to order a case.
Yeah, aside from scratch resistance, S24 ultra durability is disappointing.
More similar but okeyy... also lanyard...
@@DragonOfTheMortalKombat it will fix by update 😂😂😂😂
Well you either gonna have scratch resistance or shatter resistance not both
@@theonlyoneofficial😂😂😂😂
"Glass is glass and glass breaks"
-a wise man
the durability of these phones peaked in 2020 with the 12PM and Note 20 Ultra
My S21 Ultra is still a champ even after multiple drops nothing broke.
Facts, I still have my s20 ultra 4 years later. Although the screen isn't functioning that well, it still works!
I had to replace my note 20 ultra 4 times it's the most breakable phone I've ever had. Small drops too. Folds are the most durable, had my fold 3 for like 4-5 months now, not even a scratch
@@-Christian-_-75 my note 20 ultra fell 3 feet onto concrete and landed on a tiny pebble which shattered the display.
12 pro max here after multiple drops with otterbox and no screen protector. One minor scratch and no damage anywhere else.
I’ve been waiting for this video it finally happened, you’re the best 🎉
Before I watch this. Finally, you drop this video. I have been waiting for too long. I even checked on ig too see when you going to drop it
So glass is getting weaker on phones.
Nope the titanium edges are too rigid and won’t absorb shocks to the glass.
wdym? you can littely drop your iphone 6 and its whole screen would shatter
@@forzen4008 lmao iphoner 6 bent in ya pocket !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what dya nwan beuv
more scratch resistant means also more brittle
@@benno66691 why would u need it this scratch resistant like ur not gonna get a knife and try to scratch it but u are going to drop it
Glad to see someone's still doing drop tests. Earned a sub.
Been waiting for this 🎉❤
When you copy your competitor and now everyones phone sucks.
Titanium isn't the reason in the s24u lmao it's because the glass is way more scratch resistant which means way less crack resistant. It's physics.
@@Frozoken Titanium is also way more durable to impact and drops which sends the drops impact directly to the glass, it’s physics.
@@ThatShitGood easier to replace the glass than the whole titanium casing
Man , I love watching your videos.... I think your channel is underrated....
underrated ? dawg he has 1.5 mil subs
The reason in writing a comment so fast is cuz I clicked this video in unreal speed. This is the only guy I trust to give me a speed and drop test
Always wait for you video❤
phone buff back at it again! much love!
U r my favorite youtuber because your results are almost perfect and too much hardwork behind every video. 😊😊😊
Samsung S24 Ultra: “Titanium is only applied on the device frame. Frame does not include volume and side keys.” 🤣
It doesn't matter at all, lol , Keys are Replacable..
Applies the same to iphone. Got that titanium on the frame.
@@curious_Mind87iPhone buttons are made up of titanium….
@@SilencyGamer when it comes to Samsung, you fanboys will always close two eyes when comes to Cost cutting lol
@@SaintxRebornSame man, I will keep two eyes closed to your comment.
I love the extra bonus rounds. Definitely keep this format!
The back on the S24 Ultra is Victus2, not the new Armor. That is only on the front.
PhoneBuff already reply to another similar comment, with a Samsung official link saying that both front and rear are made of Gorilla Armor
@cms_samuel doesn’t change the fact they are wrong. It’s Victus 2 on the back of all 2 models.
@@ChrisGraham8Samsung is wrong?
@@HABO2210 no. Samsung uses Armor on the international variants and Victus 2 on the US/Canada Variants.... PRetty sure that was victus 2 in the video
who cares. they both shatter.
Gorilla armor is actually only on the front display, not the back panel.
According to Samsung’s site, the S24 Ultra is using Gorilla Armor on both front and back. www.samsung.com/ae/support/mobile-devices/what-are-the-materials-that-the-new-galaxy-s24-series-are-made-of/
That's a mute point because it still cracked on first front screen drop.
Based on the US/CAN page of the S24 Ultra, the rear glass still uses Gorilla Glass Victus 2
So the first drop is the measuring stick according to you, LMAO😂.@@sirgreen2792
@@sirgreen2792 Clearly it's ablative armor :)
Glass is forever glass and glass breaks! Till another new material is invented, they will always shatter!
Sapphire does not need inventing.
@@djplonghead5403 Sapphire is more scratch resistant than glass, not more crack resistant
@realnub235 Thank You
Yall dk how long ive been waiting for thisss ughhhh
Always wait the drop video 🎉
All of us were waiting for this test. Now we can get on with our lives! 😎👌🏻
i’m honestly impressed that the iphone’s screen died so bad, it might have something to do with the bezels being thinner this year
So I’ve heard channels say thinner bezels make phones less durable, how is it that phones with thinner bezels are supposedly less durable?
@@thevarietykid686 it's weaker because the screen is closer to the edge and with getting even a small dent in the frame can lead to the screen breaking
As expected, that's how they sell iPhone cases
Your videos are always amazing
It's about time... I kept waiting for your video for these two phones... What took you so long?
The previous generation's build quality was far better than this.
How? The s23 ultras edge screen is garbage I've had one drop with case on and the edge of the phone got hit and the whole screen went out 1 drop dropped my s24 ultra with case on about 7 times now without the screen cracking once s24 ultra more durable jus cuz that
So both suck but one will survive a car crash while the car spins multiple times lol 😂
Watching the bonus rounds is like a boxing match, I love it
I am questioning the drop surface. I feel like it's not the same for both products, do you clean it after each drop? @PhoneBuff may you please clarify for us your opinion on this?
Would be cool to test the phone with different cases. A slim case vs a regular silicone case for instance
in my book Samsung lost. I loved the curved display and now knowing that there's no difference between curved or flat, it makes it worst.
Lies!😂
Some people constantly saying bs like curved display is less durable just for the new flat display to shatter just as easily as a curved display
@@user-sb4jm1od7tthat’s funny iPhones went to a flat display from a curved display and it’s more durable it could also be that the flat displays all have the ceramic sheild
@KARMA-wz2nj iPhones never had curved screens
@@user-sb4jm1od7t lmao ya they did the screen wasn’t fully flat. look at the iPhone 11 screen from the side then the iPhone 12. It’s not curved like the Samsung curved display it’s still curved even tho it’s the bezels wich still is the display.
I'll say this and I wont change my mind....The Curved display on the older models like the S20 made the phone look better and as we're seeing now...flat or not flat doesnt really matter
Yay bonus round is back
Really hope these companies just switch back to aluminium and we can all forget "Titanium" as a fever dream clearly compromising the structural integrity
what we learn - never drop your phone
been waiting for this one

Been waiting for this one
Is that the same clip from 4 months ago when you tested the iPhone 15pro max against the S23u? Coz on the iPhone I'm seeing literally the same damage patterns from the back to the frame and the front... difference being that this new clip is extended on the face drop...
I was looking forward to this test. Please also test the battery
I have a claim/assumption: It's a shame, because I often check the battery test (exynos vs Snapdragon) of the Galaxy s24 and the pre-order campaign is now over. I think Phonebuff was bought so that they wouldn't release the test too early. First they bring out all the other tests. Feel free to tell me other reasons if you think I'm wrong. But please don't have delivery problems or anything like that, because the Galaxy s22 battery test Exynos vs Snapdragon was only tested on June 4th, 2022.
I did not expect it to happen like this, especially with Ultra! I think I will wait for the S25 Ultra
Lol this is stupid cause you’re not buying a phone to drop it I’m sure you don’t work somewhere where you have to worry about that neither
@@keefboominfacts
So thank you for returning the 10 bonus drops, I really feel like 1 bonus drop was not enough at all. Anyways, with the iPhone 15 Pro Max did you use footage from the previous drop test up until the 1st bonus drop or did you use a different iPhone?
No matter what quality the glass is on the phones. A case is always recommended.
I thought 99% of the world put cases on their phones. And I still insure in case somehow glass breaks. Maybe I'm naiive and and a lot of people are rolling with no case.
Personally, I used Otterbox Defender series cases because I feel like they are more protective than others besides tech21.
Well, S24U made history @jerryrigeverything with being the first phone to scratch at level 7 with deeper grooves at level 8
1:37 nice decorative design u got going on on the back of ur phones I dig the look 😀 How do I get mine like that 5:59 man's activated the always on flashlight feature
2:09 spark = energy dissipated 🤣
With the battery percentage on each as always in all of your drop test, I have been able to know the winner in the drain test, just by looking at the percentage here in the drop test
Bro was edging the call button 7:01
I mean phones were desperate for help😂
Why are you so biased, that corner drop was clear winner to Samsung
6:10 really interesting to see that the black bit inbetween the two senor and lens elements of the dynamic island was just the screen being black all time
black spot in the corner is the OLED panel bleeding, the purple line is a puncture point from the back/shorted connection in display. too many electrical shorts in the display (more lines seen is signs of life) made it fail and display all white. Samsung mounts their displays to a flat aluminum back with an adhesive/foam gasket, (tedious but satisfying to replace) which is likely the cause for better face down durability since the iPhone has a gap between the display and the internal components.
How beautiful it was in old phones when the phone fell on its back and all you had to do was reinstall the battery. I don’t know what the benefit of using a glass back is, it just increases the possibility of breakage and a significant increase in weight instead of using carbon fiber or glass fiber or anything.
This is what happens when you make glass more scratch resistant. It breaks easier. Each new 'generation' of glass makes it better at one and worse at the other, so they can keep advertising "2x more impact resistant" and "4x more scratch resistant" in alternating years. Both glasses here are the scratch resistant generation
Yeah, and unfortunately their interest is to make them break easier, to some degree.
so, what is the best type of cover for both? the armour type?
Never clicked on anything faster😂
The back is Gorilla Victus 2, not Armor
They both failed for me too expensive to be cracking like that on the first drop
I really hope you are planning to do a battery test!
what do you do after you do the tests? i say you guys can probably give em away it would be cheaper fixing one then buying one
Apple won the battle, but Samsung won the WAR...!!!
F titanium. I’m keeping my 13 pro max. It’s a tank😄
Using a phone without a case and screen protector is like driving a car with no windshield and hiking bare foot
The Gorilla Armor only improved on scratch resistance and not shatter resistance. JerryRigEverything showed it had deeper grooves at a level 8 instead of the normal 7.
It's funny that the guy isn't aware that the back glass of the S24 ultra isn't made of Gorilla Glass Armor, but of victus 2! It would be nice to get a bit of information before making your video and misinforming thousands of people!
It actually is dummy. Looks like you need to get some info
I think the back glass of the S24 ultra is victus 2 not armor!
I would like to see how it differs when you apply a glas or plastic screen protector on both so how many drops can it take than or maybe screen protectors don't help at all?
my mind is blown, every year, when it turns out that glass still shatters when dropped from high distances ! wow !
What’s funny is that my girlfriend had that problem with her iPhone 14 Pro Max after dropping it once and got that white screen. So it looks like it’s something to do with the upper part of the phone that causes the screen to go white. She had to replace it twice already
That's a lot. Does it have a case?
No man back glass is not gorilla aglas armor it is Gorilla glas victus 2
So how many more videos before we get battery drain test? I'm super interested into s24 ultra and the only battery drain test videos i watch are from you. You somehow keep managing to avoid the battery test and i need it more than ever .-.
Conclusion : Phones are getting expensive and less durable with time.
Interesing that the 15 Pro Max was winning pretty easily until that final drop. I wonder if it would have responded if it got hard rebooted
they tried and it didnt work
@@The_MEMEphis no he only held the power button which doesn’t do anything. He should’ve done volume up + volume down + power button which hard reboots it
@@jimjamjon2285cope harder
Remembering Glass is glass from Jerry rig everything 😂 3:09
I’m glad the bonus round of 10 drops came back. I know that it’s unrealistic that I’ll drop my phone like that ever let alone 10 times, but since I plan on keeping my phone for 4-6 years, and I know it’ll get dropped plenty, it’s good to know how much force it takes to truest do it in. Of course I’ll be rocking a case and screen protector always cause it would be crazy not to 😂😂
I use a case and glass protector, so these are just for fun. I am a bit cack-handed, so would not dare go naked.
The camera glass is better than the front one.
🤦🏻♂️😌🤗
How is that scored a “close one” when they were tied going into the second round and the IPhone failed completely a few rounds before the 10th!??🤔🤨
Because the iPhone was better or equal to the Samsung in every round but the last one. In my eyes the iPhone won cause only the first 3 rounds matter for irl purposes.

Nice work
Made my night watching this 😅
To me this is a tie considering the unfair point that was given to the galaxy in the corner drop. The superior titanium on the iPhone held up better than the S24U.
Calling Round 2 a tie is a real stretch, with the iPhone literally missing pieces from the back 😒, but good video overall
This video was bias AF lol
DO U REPAIR THEM AFTER
I'm waiting for this video
The thing is, no phone would be repeatedly dropped and in such a condition. So considering the more common ones, they both are very similar in strength but iPhone had lesser of those spider webs.
don't you dare daring people, some have them shattered for years😂
@@serhansmarthis isn’t an overall galaxy vs iphone comparison, it’s s24u vs 15pm not any predecessor or upcoming one.
Okay, but who cares about the spider's web damage size on the screen when iPhone stopped working far earlier than Samsung. Ppl're using cracked phones, but NOT the ones which are not working anymore. This is the case and Apple should learn from Samsung about durability tricks
@@theonewhoknows338 If you think someone is going to drop their phone 5-10 times on a steel surface from a height such as this, you’re wrong
ur wrong, many people will drop a phone thats cracked again and it will be onto rough surfaces like asphalt or stones. case haters use their phone even if it's smashed to pieces
Glass is glass, it breaks. Even the toughest metal tungsten shatters due to brittleness do you expect a glass to not break???

Samsung still worked…but people still saying iPhone won!😂😂🤦🏽♂️

Why stop at ten? S24 u could have blown the iphone out of the water
Realistically nobody drops the phone 10 times once it’s cracked bad. If you compare first few drops Samsung did bad then iphone. So in real life Samsungs case might be worse than IPhone.
The Samsung was still definitely worse lol. And I'm a Samsung user so stop glazinf
Galaxy is better than iPhone agree...
What a comeback! Team Galaxy!
did you made a test with honor magic 6 pro ? :D :D:D
Ill never forget the note 20 ultra drop test that was nuts
I think corner drop should be done two/three ways, "perfect" (like on video), "back tilted" so on top of being on corner phone is tilted to the back (so that it will force a smash of it's back into ground), and "front tilted" where phone is tilted to the front on top of being perfect corner (forcing a front smash). The last two should be more common drops, than just pure/perfect "corner drop".
