Keywords

💡Drop Test

A drop test is a method used to evaluate the durability and robustness of electronic devices, such as smartphones, by dropping them from various heights to see if they sustain damage. In the script, the video conducts drop tests on various flagship smartphones, including the Galaxy S24 Ultra, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and iQOO 12, to compare their durability. The test includes dropping phones from different heights and angles to assess their resistance to physical damage, particularly focusing on the screen and back panel integrity.

💡Gorilla Glass

Gorilla Glass is a brand of chemically strengthened glass developed and manufactured by Corning, designed to be thin, light, and damage-resistant. It is commonly used in smartphones for its scratch and impact resistance. In the script, Gorilla Glass versions like Armour and Victus II are mentioned as key features of the Galaxy S24 Ultra and OnePlus 12, highlighting their purported durability and resistance to drops and scratches.

💡Titanium Frame

A titanium frame in a smartphone refers to the use of titanium metal for the phone's structural frame, offering high strength, light weight, and corrosion resistance. The Galaxy S24 Ultra and Apple's titanium phone (presumably the iPhone 15 Pro Max) are mentioned to have titanium frames, indicating a premium build quality aimed at enhancing durability and providing a robust foundation for drop and impact resistance.

💡Ceramic Shield

Ceramic Shield is a type of glass-ceramic material used by Apple in its iPhone models, starting with the iPhone 12 series, to cover the screen. It is engineered to offer better drop performance than any other smartphone glass. The script mentions the iPhone 15 Pro Max having a Ceramic Shield, focusing on its track record in drop tests and its comparison with other materials like Gorilla Glass in terms of durability.

💡Tempered Glass

Tempered glass is a type of safety glass processed by controlled thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared with normal glass. The script discusses using tempered glass as a protective layer on smartphones during drop tests, highlighting its role in absorbing impact and preventing screen damage. The mention of breaking tempered glass without harming the actual screen illustrates its effectiveness as a sacrificial layer.

💡Case Protection

Case protection refers to the use of external cases to shield smartphones from physical damage. The script emphasizes the importance of using cases, along with tempered glass, to prevent damage during drops. It mentions conducting drop tests with and without cases to show how effective they are in protecting phones from impacts, illustrating the cases' role in preserving the device's integrity.

💡Stainless Steel Frame

A stainless steel frame in smartphones provides a durable and corrosion-resistant structure, contributing to the device's overall rigidity and impact resistance. The script mentions the iQOO 12 having a flat frame made of stainless steel, suggesting its use for enhancing the phone's structural integrity and durability, particularly in drop scenarios.

💡Flat Display

A flat display refers to a smartphone screen design where the display panel does not curve or wrap around the edges of the device. The script contrasts the iQOO 12's flat display with other models featuring curved displays, implying that the design choice might affect durability, particularly in how the device absorbs impacts from drops.

💡Real-Life Test

Real-life test in the context of the video script refers to the practical evaluation of smartphones' durability through drop tests that simulate common accident scenarios. The narrator emphasizes conducting these tests to verify manufacturers' durability claims, providing viewers with authentic insights into how well the devices withstand real-world conditions.

💡Scratch Proof

Scratch proof refers to the characteristic of a material or surface to resist scratches and minor abrasions. The Galaxy S24 Ultra's display is described as '4X Scratch Proof,' indicating a high level of resistance against scratches, which is a crucial aspect of smartphone durability. The script highlights this feature to underline the importance of screen durability in everyday use and during drop tests.

And

I have also put a beautiful case on it.

Here we go

Now, let me tell you about it.

Also

How can we forget, guys?

The latest phone that has arrived.

And that phone is

OnePlus 12

There is also metal.

Curved display

Gorilla Glass Victus II

A lot of things

It is a super heavy phone.

I think its weight was around 228 grams.

I have also put a beautiful case on this phone.

Let's start and see what the story is.

First

Initially, I will show you the Drop Test with tempered glass and Case.

After that, we will do the flat drop test.

From different angles

And we will go up to eight feet.

Because there is nothing beyond this

And

Let's find out what will happen.

Let's get started.

My rule is pretty simple.

No matter how much a company advertises

I don't trust any product until I test it myself.

You know, we do reality tests like this.

The Case that I am using,

I'm recommending it as long as it lasts.

That's the simple fact.

It is the brand.

I am showing you tempered glasses and cases.

You can purchase it from Glazeit.

Glazeit is a brand.

Seriously

The cases are good enough.

You can see the cases are pretty cool looking.

And the tempered glass that I am using

It is also from the Glazeit.

Both UV and

Ready-to-use one is also available.

Its installation is pretty simple.

One drop

Just two drops of life

You have to fix it with your hand.

And in three to four minutes, your glass will be ready.

Touch Sensitivity

Everything is good.

I will not talk to you more about that.

I told you about what I am using.

Now, let's quickly do the Drop Test of this case.

With the tempered glass on the iQOO 12

Because it is already installed here

And

I show you the Drop Test from six to eight feet in height.

After that, we will proceed with the Drop Test usually.

Let's Go

Just from the casual height

Like

From the

Two feet heights

If your phone drops this way

From different heights and angles

From the

Rear side

And of course

From the display side

Of course, tempered glass may break at this height.

Still

No worries

Not broken,

Because it's inside it

No issues

And

It's a different height.

From

If we try it from a six feet height

Okay

And

From the rear side

Cool

Maybe the tempered glass might break from this height.

By the way, some drunkards here have broken glasses after drinking alcohol.

I tried so hard to clean it up.

But if it hits him,

It's my bad luck.

And

From the head height

Cool

Let's throw it randomly a bit.

Right

Now, let me show you the result.

Of course, the tempered glass must have been broken.

So

No big deal

It's gone.

The Case is perfectly okay.

There is no dent on the body.

Perfectly fine

The back panel is perfectly okay.

And

The tempered glass has broken from here.

Because that's its purpose

If I remove it

In actuality, it is non-UV tempered glass.

So

Yeah

Screen

Perfectly okay

No such problem

And

Perfect

Now, let's perform the drop test without a Case.

Now, let's come on Real real-life test.

Let's drop all these phones one by one.

What's the story?

First of all, let's start with the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Super duper Titanium

And the

Armour

By the way, we scratched here from the level 9.

I don't know whether anything will happen.

So here we go

From the first

Two feet height

And

At the same place, we tried Galaxy and all those phones.

And its S Pen has broken.

It is filled with a lot of liquid.

Now, we have the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

It is my phone.

It is where it died.

Still

Cool

Galaxy S23 Ultra

It is a super-winner phone.

Liquid is coming out from all the phones.

Because we had done deep water test some time back

OnePlus 12

The company is praising this phone a lot.

It is a super flagship killer phone.

Now, we have the iQOO 12.

And

Three

Two

One

Okay

Let's see if any phone has become dead or not.

iQOO 12

Flat frame

Because it dropped from the edges, nothing will happen.

The OnePlus 12 is also okay.

The phone was impacted from the side.

There are also no issues.

Everything is working perfectly.

iPhone

Yeap

Works fine

And

The S23 Ultra

We have done drop tests from one side randomly.

Now, we will do the drop test from the rear side.

Let's see whether any phone breaks from this height or not.

From the waist height

The iQOO 12

OnePlus 12

Galaxy S24 Ultra

Something has happened

iPhone 15 Pro Max

Last time this phone failed quite badly.

Galaxy S23 Ultra

Oh!

Wow

The Galaxy phone has broken.

You can see its display has gone.

In the first drop

The side from which it fell

I mean

We dropped it this way.

And its display has gone.

I just saw it right now.

It is working properly.

But

Now, its fingerprint sensor will not work.

You have to use the Face unlock.

Wow

I can't believe it.

This phone survived the drop test twice.

But today, it went in the first shot.

It defeated POCO F1.

No problem

Let's try the back panel.

The one who was a champion proved to be a super failure this year.

The back panel is okay.

A lot of liquid has come here.

Samsung again

S24 Ultra

In the first drop test

I mean

From the two feet height

The Gorilla Glass Armour has broken.

And

You can see the point of origin is here.

So much for the world's most durable glass

Gorilla Glass Armor

It has also become failed.

iPhone, on the other hand

Wow

The iQOO is okay.

OnePlus

Is also okay

Hmmm

But both Samsung phones failed in the first shot.

I had high expectations from these phones.

But eventually, both these phones have gone.

Anyways

Let's drop randomly from the screen side.

Let's see if the display of the S24 Ultra gets damaged or not.

From the waist height

And

Three

Two

One

S24 Ultra

Gorilla Glass Armor

By the way, you have seen that it does not get scratched easily.

The back panel get scratched easily.

And

The iQOO 12

Flat display

iPhone 15 Pro Max

Ceramic Shield

OnePlus 12

Gorilla Glass Victus II

Which phones have gone?

OOOO

OnePlus

Okay

And

There are no issues from the front side.

The S24 Ultra's Armor is okay.

iQOO

Perfectly okay

No Problem

Perfectly fine

Samsung

Of course, there are cracks.

But the cracks did not increase.

Eventually, its condition is the same.

Only these cracks have slightly increased.

iPhone

Okay

No such problem

From this height, nothing much happened.

Now, we increase the height a bit.

And

Now, we will drop the phones from six feet height.

Let's see what will happen now.

Let's start with the Ultra phone.

From six feet height

Let's see what happens now.

From the six feet height

And

Three

Two

One

It felt like a spark came out.

And now, the OnePlus 12

Now, we have the iQOO 12.

All the phones are falling from the corner.

Galaxy S23 Ultra

What about the iPhone 15 Pro Max?

You see

The iPhone is performing just like the last Drop Test.

Even before this, it was cracked from the back side first.

The cracks are still the same.

It is okay from the display side.

But from the backside, it has completely cracked.

Of course, the Samsung has cracked.

But

Display

It's not like that.

The back panel is still entirely intact.

There is no problem with the iQOO.

And

It is perfectly working.

On the other hand

Samsung's display is okay.

And

Only the back panel has cracked.

Oneplus 12 is also badly cracked.

The reason for this is that it is a too heavy phone.

That's why it broke.

It is pretty big as well.

All the phones dropped from the corner.

It is not that any phone fell from the display side.

We couldn't test the display.

All the phones impacted from the corner.

So far, iQOO is coming out as the winner.

Nothing broke in this phone.

All the other phones are broken somewhere or the other.

Now, we will drop the phones from the backside.

Let's see if any phone goes dead or not.

Let's start with the Ultra phone.

Which was the Main Highlight

And

Here we go

From the six feet height

And this is the

After that

S23 Ultra

The back panel is okay.

So

From the six feet height

The iPhone has already broken.

But still

Let's see whether the AMOLED display dies due to shock or not.

OnePlus 12

OOOO

iQOO 12

Which is coming out winner in our test so far

Come on guys

Quickly

The Samsung is working.

Its back panel has broken.

I think it's all the fault of the creator.

Or perhaps due to excessive falling, it has reached its last limit.

The Ultra's display is okay.

The cracks in its back panel are increasing slightly.

But the touch and other things are working perfectly.

No problem

iQOO 12

Wow

This phone is not breaking from anywhere.

It is working properly.

All things are okay.

What happened with the iPhone?

iPhone 15 Pro Max

Hmmm

The display is okay.

The back panel has become cracked more.

OnePlus 12

So far, its display is also okay.

And

Its back panel has entirely shattered.

Now

Last

From the six feet height

Let's see which phone will survive.

Here we go

Galaxy S24 Ultra

From the six feet height

And

Three

Two

One

S23 Ultra

Its display has already cracked.

Will it become dead or not?

iPhone 15 Pro Max

And the

Head-height

OnePlus 12

You can see what could be the consequences of not using the case.

No matter how strong the glass is

Nothing will left

And the

Three

Two

One

The last phone is

iQOO

12

Alright

Come and check

Wow

iQOO

Stainless steel is still proving to be very durable.

Companies are going with the titanium.

But I think the stainless steel is super cool.

You remember

The iPhone 14 Pro Max was also very okay with the stainless steel.

For now, the iQOO 12 is perfectly okay.

No such problem

Samsung's panel is okay.

Nothing happened

The front's Armor is pretty good.

The back's Armor is not that good.

It's causing a little problem.

The OnePlus display is okay.

The Victus II is also coming out well.

No issues

iPhone display is also okay.

It's working.

And

Here we go

Galaxy's touch is also working.

You have seen the result from six feet height.

Now, let's perform the last drop test.

From eight to nine feet in height

Nine feet height is slightly extreme.

Last time, the S23 Ultra passed the test by six feet in height.

It passed the test even at ten feet height.

You remember

With the 15 Pro Max

Now, here is the

Ultra

Its back panel has broken.

That's why we try it from the display side.

And

Three

Two

One

It is nine feet in height.

Super high

We will see later what happened.

For now, let's talk about the Next phone.

And

Now

iPhone

The track record is poor.

Let's see how long the ceramic shield will last.

And

Three

Two

One

Okay

S23 Ultra

Of course, its display has cracked more.

You can see its display is slightly more cracked.

Like

It has also cracked from the side.

Maybe it's the last breath.

But still, guys

I think it's a survivor.

You can assume it is an old lion.

It has reigned for a long time.

But eventually, it seems that its time has gone.

Because S24 Ultra has arrived

By the way, it has completely cracked.

OnePlus 12

Back panel cracked

Let's try from the display side.

Three

Two

One

A lot of glass came out here.

I have great expectations from the iQOO 12.

Maybe it will pass.

From the nine feet height

And

Three

Two

One

End of the test

First of all

Galaxy

Wow

The Armor 2 is still working.

There is no problem with its display side.

Just back somehow

I don't know how its back panel became broken.

It's super shocking, guys.

The display of the iPhone 15 Pro Max is okay.

This time, the ceramic shield worked well.

Great

Back panel

Not so lucky

Now we have

Galaxy

Its condition is also very bad.

But eventually

It's working.

OnePlus's display has cracked.

As expected

Because its weight is too much

The surface area is more.

Maybe that's why it happened.

iQOO

Wow

Congratulations iQOO

Most durable phone

Most flagship killer phone

In budget

Flagship killer

I mean

When an iPhone price is 1.5 lakh, a phone priced at Rs 50K can be considered a budget phone.

Front side

Back side

Perfectly Okay

So, the winner of today is iQOO 12.

That's it with this Mega Drop Test episode 20.

I hope you liked it, guys.

The result can be anything.

Therefore, you must use case and tempered glass.

You can thank me later.

Alright

Let's do the cleaning.

My hand is pretty hurt and dirty also.

Let's go guys
