The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra managed to find its way into the hands of Zack from JerryRigEverything, which means it was submitted to a series of durability tests.
The Galaxy S21 Ultra did great in a series of durability tests
The Galaxy S21 Ultra is the company’s most powerful phone to date, and it’s one tough cookie. It did great in these durability tests, as you can see in the video provided below the article.
Zack submitted the test to its usual series of durability tests, which we’ll go over in the article. The first test was the scratch test. The phone’s display scratches at a level 6, with deeper grooves at a level 7.
That’s what we’re used to seeing from modern smartphones. As a reminder, the Galaxy S21 Ultra’s display is protected by the Gorilla Glass Victus. Now, it is also worth mentioning that Zack’s unit came with two screen protectors.
Zack’s unit came with two screen protectors, which is quite odd
Yes, you read that right, he had to remove two screen protectors before the scratch test. Our review unit did not come with a single screen protector, so… that’s quite odd. We’re not sure where did he get his, though.
In any case, he scratched the phone’s sides, and the camera housing, just to make sure it’s metal. The backplate of the phone is covered by glass, the same one that protects the display.
The phone’s display lasted for about 45 seconds under direct flame, and it never recovered. That’s not something that you should worry about, as you won’t hold a lighter on the display.
The device did great in the bend test as well
The phone did great in the bend test. Zack tried to snap it in half by putting pressure from both the front and the back, but that didn’t do much good. The phone is really well-built.
As already mentioned, you can see the whole process in the video linked below. The video itself has a duration of about 7 minutes. If you’d like to know more about the phone, check out our review.
