The YouTuber "EverythingApplePro" compared the durability of the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus and the iPhone 7 Plus through a series of drop tests. The tests involved dropping the phones from various heights, including waist height, head height, and 10 feet, and from different angles, such as back, side, and face down.
The results showed that both phones were surprisingly durable, but the iPhone 7 Plus performed slightly better. The Galaxy S8 Plus's Gorilla Glass 5 screen cracked and spider-webbed, but still functioned, while the iPhone 7 Plus's dual-ion glass screen withstood the drops with minimal damage.
However, when dropped from 25 feet, the iPhone 7 Plus's screen shattered and became unusable, while the Galaxy S8 Plus's screen still functioned, albeit with some cracks. Despite this, the YouTuber declared the iPhone 7 Plus the winner due to its overall better performance in the drop tests.
