Samsung presented its new flagship just a few weeks ago, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8. This device comes to make us forget everything that happened with the previous Galaxy Note 7, which as you know, had to be withdrawn from the market due to a problem in its batteries. The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is the first Samsung terminal to incorporate a dual camera with the possibility of taking photos with 2x zoom and blur effect. In addition, it is built in glass, both in the back and in the front, and fused with aluminum frames. This device may seem very fragile, but the truth is that it behaves like a true flagship. This is how they have treated it in these endurance tests, and that's how well it turned out.
JerryRigEverything is a YouTube channel dedicated to inspecting the latest devices on the market. Sometimes he just opens them to see what's inside the phone, but without a doubt, what he (and we) like the most are the resistance tests. Although yes, it is very likely that it hurts to see how it scratches a 1,010 euro device. Jerry begins the video by unpacking the device, removing the protective plastics and showing that it is a real Galaxy Note 8, just released.
Next, you are going to check the durability of the screen against scratches and scratches. ”“ We remember that the Galaxy Note 8 has Gorilla Glass 5 protection ”“ The screen is notoriously scratched at points 6 and 7. On the other hand, the front and rear area is hardly damaged (the speaker does, because it is made of aluminum with a thin layer of paint). The S pen is also scratched. Also try inserting the S pen backwards, but Samsung seems to have fixed this bug.
Does the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 bend?
The back is also protected with Gorilla Glass 5. The edges of the camera are made of aluminum, and they scratch quite easily. Fortunately, the lens seems to be scratch resistant. But the fingerprint reader is not so lucky, and it ends up scratching quite easily. Even so, it still works. Aluminum edges, as you might expect, are also scratched. Of course, adding a lot of strength. In the last steps you are about to burn the screen with a lighter. The screen seems not to respond very well for a few seconds. Afterwards, it returns to normal and decides to continue with the last step, folding the device, and it seems that it does not succeed.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has passed the destruction test with good marks. It is a resistant and robust terminal, without losing quality in the materials. Maintaining a sophisticated design. It seems that Samsung does a good job building their smartphones. We will see in the future if this continues.
