Drop Test: iPhone 5 VS Galaxy S III

The iPhone 5 has just been released in 9 or 10 countries last September 21. As expected, the lines were long...kilometers long to be exact (Not kidding!). The waiting list for online orders is pegged at 3 to 4 weeks already. And, of course, the launching will not be complete without the anti-Apple rallyists.

While most fanatics are still waiting for their precious iGadget to arrive, a lucky few have managed to get their hands on the world's most coveted smartphone. Some disassembled the device immediately to carefully examine its entrails. Others tested the phone's processing power in online benchmarks, which proved that the iPhone 5 is indeed a computing powerhouse. Several peeps are already reselling these iDevices online (via the gray market) with a super-inflated price tag.

But one person stood out as he opted to test the iPhone 5's sturdiness (with its new aluminum and glass casing) by dropping it intentionally together with Samsung's flagship Android smartphone, the Galaxy S III. So which do you think of the two smartphones will win? As you may know, the iPhone 4S had gone through the same drop test together with the Galaxy S III and the former emerged victorious as the latter's screen got crushed that you could no longer used the touchscreen. Will the iPhone 5 share the fate of its predecessor or will it be outdone by Samsung's best-selling smartphone this time?

Check out this video below:


As you can see, both smartphones managed to survive the 3 feet and 4 feet drop! But only one emerged victorious in the 5-foot, 6-inch drop test! Which phone was it? Wait a minute...wait for it! wait! You bet it's the iPhone 5! Perhaps, the new aluminum casing really helped it survive such a high drop.

While this drop test is not scientific in any way, this video shows us how NOT to drop our dearly beloved smartphones in certain ways. Of course, damage to the phone depends on the point of impact, which cannot be controlled with this kind of test. By the way, my heart just got crushed seeing both devices fall to the floor, shattering like an expensive piece of item. It's like indiscriminately burning a bag of dollars or probably Godzilla eating your new Porsche. In any case, it hurts...so bad.

So, there you have it guys! I'm sure you enjoyed watching the video. Please tell me your thoughts on the Comment Section below.
