The Samsung Galaxy S10 have been on the market for days. The South Korean company decided to officially announce these devices on February 20. Many users have already managed to get hold of a unit and we can see different tests on the internet. One of the most interesting is the one that YouTube JerryRigEverything usually does with newly launched devices. In this chaos, the Samsung Galaxy S10 has to suffer. This is how it holds up in this durability test.
The terminal arrives brand new, Jerry unpacks it from its box and removes the different protective plastics from it before starting to scratch it. With a cutter, he begins to scratch the front protector that comes with the Samsung Galaxy S10. No, it is not the screen. The front panel is not so easily scratched, although some marks do remain. The glass in the lenses holds up quite well, although the frame suffers a bit. The back, which is also made of glass, does not scratch easily enough.

The second phase of the durability test is to burn the screen. Specifically, the OLED panel. Although it manages to burn the pixels, they return to normal in just a few seconds and the screen continues to function properly. What about the fingerprint reader? The Samsung Galaxy S10 has an ultrasonic scanner built into the screen. Does it work when grating it? It looks like it is. The fingerprint reader still works fine, but only with superficial scratches. Then it puts more force on the reader and spoils it. The fingerprint is not detected.
The last step is to fold the device. Jerry puts some pressure on the sides to see if the screen can be easily broken. The terminal manages to hold out a lot. In general, the terminal withstands scratches very well. Both in the back and in the front. It is in the fingerprint reader where we see more failures. With a screen break, the scanner could be unusable and we would have to have our Galaxy S10 repaired.
