These are the Toughest (and Weakest) Phones Currently Available. Number 3 & 11 is Kinda Surprising.

in #busy7 years ago

he guys at TomsGuide put 12 phones to test to determine which phone was the strongest and the weakest.

To achieve this, they dropped it from both 4 and 6 feet onto wood and concrete![ff.jpg](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmSSAR23WqXs4WXFNcGjsktxua7JyoKdnAd6cMD8c9R6kp)
Each drop was worth a maximum of 5 points and the more severe the damage per drop was, the more points were deducted. They also dropped them from 4 feet into a water-filled toilet.

At the end of the tests, they got these results:

  1. Motorola Moto Z2 Force – Toughness score: 8.5/10 — It survived drops from 6 feet onto concrete, with barely a scratch.
  2. LG X Venture – Toughness score: 6.6/10 — Made it through all of the 4-foot drops, but gave up after the 6-foot drop.
  3. Apple iPhone X – Toughness score: 6.2/10 — Survived both 4- and 6-foot drops on its face onto a wood surface, but cracked face-first from 4 feet onto concrete.
  4. LG V30 – Toughness score: 6/10 —A face drop from 4 feet onto concrete caused the screen to crack.
  5. Samsung Galaxy S9 – Toughness score: 6/10 — A 4-foot face drop onto concrete caused the S9’s screen to crack and a 6-foot drop onto its edge caused a bit more damage.
  6. Motorola Moto G5 Plus – Toughness score: 5.1/10
  7. Apple iPhone 8 – Toughness score: 4.9/10 —This lasted all the way up to a 5-foot face drop onto concrete, after which its screen completely gave up.
  8. Samsung Galaxy Note 8 – Toughness score: 4.3/10 —a 4-foot drop on its face cracked the screen in a number of places.
  9. OnePlus 5T – Toughness score: 4.3/10
  10. Huawei Mate 10 Pro – Toughness score: 4.3/10
  11. Google Pixel 2 XL – Toughness score: 4.3/10
  12. iPhone SE – Toughness score: 3.9/10— it was rendered unusable before all of the others.
    I think the iPhone X and the Pixel 2 XL scores kinda surprised me — I was expecting the Pixel 2 XL to outperform the X in this regard.
