Despite the fact that most smartphone manufacturers claim that their devices are made of increasingly resistant materials, broken screens are still a huge and very costly problem for owners. Repairing a screen using an official repair is an expensive business, with Apple and Samsung charging more than £ 200 to repair the screens on their latest phones.
This problem has been further aggravated in recent years with the introduction of wireless charging, which requires the entire device to be covered in highly breakable glass.
Now it seems that Samsung may have finally fixed this nightmare with its latest Note 20 Ultra which seems to perform much better when dropped than Apple’s iPhone 11 Pro Max.
The PhoneBuff team just put these two flagship devices to the test and the results show a huge difference between the two products.
The Note 20 Ultra and iPhone 11 Pro Max faced a series of grueling tests that included being dropped on their screens, corners, and back.
If your phone has ever slipped through your fingers, then the YouTube video will bring you terrible nightmares, but Samsung should be happy with the results.

While the Note 20 Ultra didn’t survive completely flawless, it wasn’t nearly as bad as the damage suffered to the iPhone, which saw cracks and chipped glass all over the front and rear glass.
It’s worth noting that after the first round of releases, both devices continued to work fully with cameras and displays working normally.
However, things did not turn out so well during the final test, in which the phones crashed into the platform 10 times in a row.
The iPhone almost survived this test, although pieces of glass began to break off the back cover and the camera stopped working.
Surprisingly, the Note 20 Ultra survived the entire experience without any significant damage. The screen remained crack-free and everything, including the camera and the integrated fingerprint sensor, continued to work as it should.
PhoneBuff also noted how impressed they were that the damage suffered in the early drop tests did not get worse during the Ultra’s final grill.
Of course this is just a test and we certainly wouldn’t recommend dumping your £ 1,179 Galaxy Note 20 on the floor to see how well it survives.
However, it still looks very impressive from Samsung and it seems that the Gorilla Glass case it is wrapped in is more than capable of surviving life in your pocket.
