https://www.cnet.com/news/galaxy-s-9-drop-test/ >The back of the Galaxy S8 broke on the first fall from hip height in our previous drop test, but the screen remained intact despite dropping it from 5 feet onto a gravel road. Going into our test, I didn't expect the Samsung Galaxy S9 to have the same good fortune as its predecessor considering it's about 8 grams heavier and 0.5 mm thicker. Plus there's no way that curved screen could come out unscathed from another round of drops. Right?! >We took our brand new Lilac Purple Galaxy S9 to the sidewalk near CNET's San Francisco office, the same sidewalk where the iPhone X had cracked on its first drop in our test just a few months before. As in previous tests the drop height for our first round was 3 feet (0.9 meters), simulating what would happen if it fell from your pocket.
