iPhone XS Max vs. Galaxy Note 9 Drop Test! By PhoneBuff

Last year with the iPhone 10 Apple claimed that they were using the strongest class to ever be used in a smartphone and this year with iPhone 10s and the 10s max they're, doubling down on that claim, saying this year's new iPhones or even more durable than lasts. So today, we're going to be putting that claim to the test, comparing the iPhone 10s max to easily its biggest competitor in the Galaxy Note 9, to see which one of these thousands or our flagships is actually more durable. Let's get right into it round number one backdrop in three, two one. So after that backdrop, both phones have their rear glass, cracked, but there is a pretty big difference in the total amount of damage that each phone took. The iPhone 10s max suffered a few cracks at the bottom, with a single crack going up across the back. While the note 9s glass, on the other hand, just completely shattered all the way across I'm, not sure if the difference here is because the iPhone actually has stronger glass like Apple claims or had to do more with the iPhones protruding camera lens, helping it break the fall, which is definitely a possibility.

Given the scuff marks, we see here on the camera housing itself, but either way the total amount of damage on the iPhone was less than on the notes giving it the win in round number one round number two corner drop in three two one, so neither phone suffered too much damage after that corner drop, the screens on both phones are still fully intact, and the only real damage is a few scuff marks on each of the phone's frames. The aluminum frame on the note 9 does make the scuff marks look a little more visible to the camera under direct light here, but in most other lighting conditions, the scuff marks on the iPhones stainless steel band look equally bad making it a tie here in round number two round: number three bass drop three to one. After that face drop, both bones, unfortunately have their screens cracked, but just like with the backdrop the iPhone did manage to do a better job at keeping the damage contained with the majority of the cracks being limited to the bottom of the phone, whereas on the note 9 the cracks just spider webbed all across the display, so it looks like the iPhone 10s s. Glass is actually stronger after all, giving it the wane here in round number 3 bonus round. Okay, so both phones still remain fully functional.

After our 10 point, inspection, meaning each phone will move on to the bonus round where it'll be dropped up to 10 times from just under 5 feet. Last times the no 9 was able to survive, not one. That's 5, but all 10 bonus drops technically remaining fully functional despite its severely shattered glass. Let's see if the iPhone 10s Max can do any better bonus shop in three two one, so that was really loud. Does the phone still work ooh? So this screen does seem to be working.

That's good news, but the shattering just got wow, that's quite a bit, so before we had that, like relatively light crack at the bottom and over here, but now we have full-blown shattering bonus, drop two and three two one, three, two one: how much damage can one phone take? How much abuse? Oh okay, the screen is off was like okay, but the phone does seem to be working with speed like all four corners work, camera. Let's do the mail app. Is it working here? Hmm? Well, that's interesting! Whoa, whoa! Look at that, so that works right, the TV app, and then it looks like up here. It can't touch can't touch right. There, nope whew, the very top left works.

Okay, so I'm assuming these will work. So the second and third rows, unresponsiveness eyes, you'll see a 3d touch, works on them. Nope, though, that's an interesting result. Can we dial nine-one-one? Can we do make an emergency call? Yes, no! No Wow! Okay! So after just three bonus drops, we had to throw in the towel dye phone's display just wouldn't respond anywhere in the area between the second and the third rows on the home screen pretty much making the phone unusable. There's also some damage to the display itself underneath the glass, so all in all, just not a very good result here for the iPhone in the bonus round.

Alright. So with all four rounds in the books, let's take a look at the scorecard. In the first round, the iPhones rear glass sustained significantly less damage from the backdrop in the second, both walls performed roughly the same while in the third, the iPhone tennis max showed us that it's glass actually is stronger and then, finally, in the fourth round, the no nines superior impact and shock resistance, a lot of to wipe away the iPhones lead from the other rounds, ultimately giving it the win here in this drop text anyways. That is it for me in this video. Thank you guys for watching and as always, I'll see you in the very next episode.
