Iphone 5 vs samsung galaxy s3, endurance test
Among the comparisons between smart phones there is one that is especially interesting and painful in equal parts for fans of the sector: that of resistance to bumps, falls and accidents. This type of test expected an exceptional contest, starring those who, today, are the two benchmark teams for the smart mobile market: Apple's iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3.
In this test, carried out by the guys from Android Authority, we check how the high-end of the two main smartphone vendors behave at three heights, emulating possible situations in which both teams can run into the cold and hard ground. The first test reproduces the following situation: they call us by phone, we receive a message or notice a notification, to which we react by taking the terminal out of our pocket, but it slips out of our hands and, oh my God, the mobile phone falls on our faces against the firm. Given this, the iPhone 5 offers marks on the bevel that surrounds the device that clearly shows the blow. For his part, in this situation,the Samsung Galaxy S3 emerged unscathed from the accident, showing no injuries after rushing against the road.
Different fates will both run on the next step of the analysis. Now, the teams will see them at a greater height. Specifically, more or less aligned with the examiner's chest. These types of situations are especially given when we are consulting content on the screen, writing a message, watching a video or simply taking a look at the time.
Once again, the mobile can be particularly attracted to the ground and hit. In such a case, the iPhone 5 will suffer damage again, presenting a very painful notch, again, in the aluminum margins of the device. But more hurtful will be the consequences that this blow will inflict on the Samsung Galaxy S3, which presents after the fall a cracking of the screen in the upper left margin.
The third height reaches to raise both phones to the user's ear. This case is typical: we are talking on the phone and, either because someone accidentally hits us, or because in a clumsy movement the mobile slips from our hands, it ends up rushing and hitting their bones on the ground. Once we have recovered from the terrifying sensation that accompanies the gradual fall of the device, we pick it up and we find the following. The iPhone 5 would have picked up a new label on the sides of its design, but the screen would remain intact. Different luck the Samsung Galaxy S3.
After a spectacular safety disassembly "" this equipment, like its previous model, is designed so that the rear cover absorbs the force of the impact, detaching itself to avoid greater evils "", the terminal will show a wound on the chrome side, and a new one Fissure that runs through the screen in the upper right area of the phone. However, its operation will continue to be operational.
Given this, it seems that the iPhone 5 passes the test in this sense, showing damage that, however, it also collects in case they receive much weaker actions, such as the simple sliding of keys or accessories with which they share a pocket: and it is We have already told you that this phone is especially sensitive to scratches. Given this, it seems that Apple has ended up giving one of lime and another of sand as far as resistance is concerned.
