Apple iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S3 – drop test

28 Sep 2012

If you're wrestling over whether to pick up an iPhone 5 or a Galaxy S3 – and you've already pored over our exhaustive comparision between the two phones – this may be the clincher.

It's the one test we didn't try – dropping the two phones onto a pavement to see which fares best. Well, we didn't want to smash up our review unit, did we? Fortunately, SquareTrade has no such qualms – so if you want to see which phone is the more durable of the two, check out the video above.

    initial drop test not identical as iphone landed on edge and galaxy landed on face - not a fair comparison. Bit of a joke video.

    Infact the more I think about this video the more I'm beginning to wonder about the impartiality of the staff at stuff.tv. Come on guys, be a bit more professional.

    Balls, I forgot to use Google maps to get me to my destination as I was busy dropping a tin of mackerel on my phone. Stupid test, smells of fanboy desperation.

    this test is sooo not serious.
    you can see that the Samsung falls full on the front and the iPhone on the side. this will have a different impact on the phones of course.
    if they want to do a serious test they should set it up a bit more professional and serious, this is amateur stuff.

    The Galaxy S3 is not as robust as the new iphone!!

    The Android Authority have also tested and conformed this:

    But maybe because the Galaxy is made from cheap plastic. Supprised though as Fisher Price make their toys from the same material and they are tough!!!
