Samsung’s Galaxy S22 devices appear to be more prone to damage when dropped than Apple’s iPhone 13 models, according to drop tests conducted by Allstate Protection Plans. With major new smartphone releases, Allstate does the same set of drop tests to determine the degree of front, back, and side damage when a device hits the ground, and the testing indicates the iPhone‘s design is more durable.
When dropped face-down, the S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra displays shattered on the first six-foot drop onto the sidewalk, and two of the three were unusable due to the severity of the damage. The middle tier device, the S22, was usable, but had notable damage at the corners.
Comparatively, when Allstate Protection Plans drop tested the iPhone 13 models back in September, they fared better. In the face-down drop, the iPhone 13 survived a single drop with minor damage, cracking in the second drop test. The iPhone 13 Pro cracked along the bottom, but both phones were largely usable.
In the back-down test, the Galaxy S22 devices all had their back panel shattered, and while all three phones continued to work normally and the camera housing remained intact, it was not possible to safely handle the phones bare-handed because of the glass damage.
The comparable test on the iPhone 13 models saw the iPhone 13 survive two drops, ending up with minor cracks along the camera and the corner after the third drop, while the iPhone 13 Pro back glass shattered more similarly to the S22 devices.
