- Samsung's Galaxy S20 Ultra is really expensive. That's why we tested its durability by seeing how it holds up after a few drops outside.

Samsung: We got Gorilla 6 Glass !!
Sidewalk and Floors: We got Pavement 9 !!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Movie matics And We all know who is harder !! Lol
kingkong pavement.?
Junito Punto Comm There should be a drop test that covers the damage inflicted on the pavement and floors from having things dropped on them all the time 😂
Caden Churchill Yup !! Lol
I don't see any improvement with Gorilla Glass. All they do is add numbers.
Yup
Marketing scheme like usual
They need to sue them for being so stupid and unethical. If a $1400 phone cannot even take a few fall then what’s the point. Stupid research has to go in making these stupid phones durable. It’s so annoying they say strong glass for every version of corning gorilla glass and then it breaks so easily
@@electrology lol they never claimed it doesn't shatter, there's plenty of different types and strengths of glass for all kinds of applications. gorilla glass is the most common company that creates glass for tech products. If they put glass from say a drinking glass in your smartphone screen that thing would shatter first time every time. It's just a strong glass but glass is glass.
I know. I just use cases because I dont have the $150 to get it fixed or replaced!
Well, you know what they say. Glass is glass and glass can break.
Or in the case of the Flip, glass is glass except when it's not.
@@RobsRemixes When its not its not. Glass is is glass except when its not makes no sense. May as well say an apple is an apple except when its an orange.

Like a little Lego......
Glass is Glass, and glass breaks
Lool
Honestly, who actually thought an all glass phone would be a good idea? 🤔
I think it's for wireless charging
Right. It’s glass but still looks plastic and plastic wouldn’t have cracked . Lol I dont think it’s for wireless charging
I’d rather plug in my phone and have a Solidly built phone over a fragile premium feeling phone.
Apparently some moron, guy needs to be hanged
Phone companies, so they can make more money while fixing your glass phone
3rd drop looks like s20 doing gymnastics
True to their Olympics sponsor status 💁♂️ 😅
@@karungany6968 btw Olympic is cancelled. So that's why S20 doing gymnastics
😂👍
"Despite the screen protector" That protector will only protect the glass from minor scratches. Not drops
Really ? I always thought it does protect a bit. My screen protector always breaks but the screen doesn't. Maybe I'm just lucky ?
@@noka5730 what you do have is a glass screen protector (otherwise known as a screen guard). That does offer some protection against drops. What comes on the S20 is a factory installed plastic screen protector.
@@briankay101 got you 👍🏼 I read and replied your comment before watching the video :p
Glass screen protectors work as they take the shock wave first and break, reducing shock that gets to the glass screen under, they work to a good extent, it's simple science. And not the plastic screen protector she was using.
No they will still help on drops a small amount.
They should just make the whole back from the camera material
It's the same material just thicker
@@thinkspeed6787 I dont mind my phone a little thicker if it will make it stronger then lol
Lmao!! Hmmm
Eu sou muito grato a sao judas tadeu acabei de receber o meu galaxy s20 ultra
hahahaha, u realy funny, but i think the camera are made of the same material but a but more pressed and thick
Seriously, when you've spent so much money on a phone like this, you buy a good case for it immediately!
You do not tempt fate, my dear. 😉
Which begs the question why use glass. Your going to cover it up.
Bad design! Think about it. They think they are making the phones thinner, but the required case makes it as thick as a 2009 phone. Doesn't it make more sense to make a tougher case that does not require a case ?
Gorilla glass is Very tough when the proper thickness is used. And it is not that much Thicker. Older smart are better for that reason.
@DerpyDoge or plastic
@DerpyDoge wow that would make it even heavier... The S10 Plus ceramic set I owned was heavier than the regular one
Either way people gonna use it with case then what's the point of making a glass back phone...
You're kind of the only ones still doing drop testing. There were a few just a couple of years ago. Kudos and thanks. This is more helpful than 99% of the specs hyped reviews
Because they are the only few that can afford it. This video might break even.
Helpful? They don't demonstrate anything that anyone doesn't already know.
Phone Buff: Well I guess they didn't know about me!
It would be great that for the next drop test Vanessa uses the dropping machine that was used for the iPhone 11 drop test
yup, exactly this. doing tests but not being consistent in the testing method is dumb. Also, she cant even hold the device level when performing the drops. Oh let me do a face down drop test now, but she holds the phone side ways crooked so the phone lands on the edges. Real smart, CNET.
I mean, yes the machine would add consistency, but this type of test simulates real world instances.
@@beweglichable I second Yezhik. This test is more realistic for actual use.
My heart will go on after see this
Terribly fragile.
Yes, that's why l always buy a cover for it.
yep like literally every other phone when hitting the pavement with rocks in it
Glass is glass. We can put plastic on the back, but then customers will complaint about scratches. Since scratches happen more often, and glass feels premium, glass is the way to go. Just don't drop your phone.
Manufacturers can but diamond on the back, but it will be so much expensive that no one will buy the phone in the first place.
Mohammad M.E. Glass sucks
Has anybody noticed how she pushes the phone down to do the drop.
i thought i was the only one seeing that haha lol
They charge over a thousand dollar for a phone,it's time to put sapphire on them!
Actually, sapphire has a higher hardness, but at the same time is more brittle. Meaning that the vibrations of a drop could lead to the screen shattering little fragments all over the pavement!
Bruh Samsung's curve screen obsession has to go ! Also the phone needs to have a premium metal back like stainless steel or 6000 series almunium like the good old days !
Kept thinking, "Man it's totally possible for that phone to fall through the sewer drain"...quickest end of the test...hahah
It looks like they need to cover the entire phone like the camera module 🤣
$1500 dropped on the ground.........
All for a good cause, which you watching this video helps finance.
Free to them since it's a review unit provided by Samsung haha
@@jk12324 I doubt that. Review units typically have to be returned to the OEM after a while. That would be Jessica's S20 and maybe 1 or 2 others.
The ones they drop-test are either paid for by sponsors (in exchange for advertising), or purchased by CNET themselves.
Its important, this video may stop 1000's of phones to be cracked, first thing I would do would be to watch these videos before spending half a months pay on something
@@tillbot8 "half a months pay" look at this humble bragger!
The video I was waiting for and same time breaks my heart..
Nobody:
Her: "It didn't break because it's so thick and so large"
🤣
She likes them thick and large.
😭😭🤣
More fragile with higher price. I'll pass
Buy a case?
Aaron Amaral Yeah eventually that will fail too. Because Samsung chooses curves in front its higher risks for damage. I recently replaced my front screen and the actual screen is worth 100 bucks on ebay
@@miketothesupra dropped my phone with case, never cracked
I have droped my Samsung S10 a lot of times with a cheap Insignia clear case from BestBuy and not a scrach on my phone.
@@dager1 I dropped my phone many times 1 out 50 will do. It all depends what the screen lands on, I was at gym with small pockets and kept sliding out and landed on one of the machines
Wow, I w never seen a phone so week.
Lol it's glass not old school plastic
How is it weak? The frame of the phone didn't break. Just the glass like every other phone.
At least it's stronger than your spelling.
@@chumlunglimbu882 damn
Rico g From such a small height? I've seen lots of driop tests, that's proper crap.
3:37 Who's the guy holding the phone now?? I know is not You !! 🙈😁
Its her bro, 3:43 you can see her hair
@@iPhone_3GS You didn't get the joke but it's ok !! Lol Her hands look like a man's hand.
I don't want to sound too rude but her hands definitely don't look like female hands. BTW I got your joke the moment I read your comment and scrolled to 3:37.
@@junito1008 is it..? 🤔
I don't like long nails on girls so I don't mind that or something
Did you shoot video from the smartphone itself while this drop tests? I'd like to see this.
There's no point in these drop test there are people who don't need a case but unless you have a ruggedized phone no modern phone will stand up to this type of abuse and if it does you're just lucky
S20 ultra is an overhyped and overrated gimmick phone with trash software.
New Gorilla Glass 12..........its the same as Gorilla Glass 1, but we thought a name change would be nice!!
Does anyone else see these videos as pointless? Glass is glass and glass breaks. Until its made of plexiglass with a 8 mohs hardness rating I don't want to see anyone dropping a smartphone it proves literally nothing.
It's fun to watch
Hmmm we landed on the moon in the 60s but in 2020 they can't make a screen that won't crack when dropped from hip hight? Any one else suspicious about this?
*What I hear Saturday night...* @6:29
I'll see myself out.
Screen record & make it a meme.
Can you sell me this S20 Ultra after all this damage
They probably gonna fix it for free at Samsung under warranty
@@noka5730
The S20 Ultra is so expensive in America because they use Snapdragon processor about 1400$ and I can't buy it, but maybe they sell me under half price, that makes me happy, and I will be appreciated that
@@gamingneverdiegnd6567 wait till black Friday. The note would already be out and they will make around 50% discounts.
For all the money we pay for them phones, they should be damn near invincible.
5:01
S20 ultra :"LOOK MY FRONT FLIP"
The camera module has the real Gorilla !!
Some say its Gorilla Glass 11
Maybe they use sapphire glass for camera?
I Y Definitely it’s something really strong.
NRSegasonic Sapphire could be too and that’s what i don’t understand !! SMH They Know the materials that They can use to make the phone almost unbreakable, but They use other materials so We have to buy more.
@@junito1008 they need to stay in buisiness, if they release a phone with everything the best thye have they do not have new stuff to launch. They already have 4 phones for the 4 upcoming years ready.
lol broken on first drop
My s20 ultra to me: BOI DONT YOU EVEN!
Who hired this lady to drop the phone? My grandma's shaky hands could drop it better than this smh...
Why did you do it like that when the iPhone 11 test was done with a machine dropping it perfectly flat on a smooth floor?
George Costanza don’t know about the iphone test but this is a more realistic test. Don’t you think its better for the consumers?
@@mayankkamra6
It's less consistent.
mayankkamra6 it would be better for consumers if all the products were "tested" equally and consistently across the board.
George Costanza you’re right
Nxt video to watch. "Best Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra Cases", or save the coin, I think ill stick with my S10.
Drop it from 100ft!
10/10, no yelling today!
They should have put the camera glass on the back and front areas.
The dumbest "improvement" made to phones was the addition of a glass back. It defies reason. Apparently, we're all fish and need to have shiny things. 💎🐟🐡🐠
There is a reason wireless charging wouldn't work without glass back!!
@@aaditpaul5393 Sure it would. It's called plastic.
@@jaypob and plastic looks like cheap crap...
jaypob would you buy a $1000 phone that has a plastic back.
As JRE always says, glass is glass and glass breaks.
This drop test isn't useful. Everyone who uses an s20 costing 1k will obviously have a case on that costs only an extra 15-30 dollars.
Phone companies have already stronger glass, and better featured for everything but they do not release it otherwise thet have no new product to bring out. So every year they release a small improvement meanwhile they can release the ultimate phone
"we dropped a piece of glass and it shattered" wow, what a surpirse.
Every idiot here that can't afford it: fOr 1400 iT sHoUlD Be InDeStRucTaBLe
💯
It should be, given its price.
@@thearousedeunuch Bruh. He was trying to... Nvm...
Lol. Whoops I dropped it, ah nvm I still have 4 more chances.
No one:
Phone: *doing cool flips*
My heart is breaking to see it.. I preordred..
I must purchase a protective case to save it
I ordered Zilo cases it looks great and my phone should also come by tomorrow! :)
U should buy a case asap, i also do..
wished they made the material of the glass on both front and back like on the camera module. Way more tougher.
Hael Francisco it has a slight ridge that protects it material is prob the same
Stop disliking it. CNET is doing amazing Job here
Honestly I think Samsung should've put more effort in making this phone more durable, I mean u r paying 1400 bucks, and it can break easily from 3 feet drop!!!
I'm more financially invested in the pavement now as it seems to be Thor-hammer grade.
Please drop this into my poor broke hands
Jerry :Glass is glass and glass breaks
Wow! I don't remember any phone breaking as easily or badly as this in CNET's drop test in years, possibly ever! We've got a winner! You show 'em, girl. :)
Can I have that cracked phone. Could never afford a S20 Ultra 😭😭
Damn it private! have some self respect! Take that old nokia from your pocket and call proudly!
@Shineinpoverty no thanx. Take that self respect and shove it. I was taught that you ask and you shall receive
Have you ruled out the possibility that the phone might slip into the drain lines through the mesh?
Wonder what happen to prism glass in galaxy phones just like s10?
The regular Samsung s20 is the SE
why don't you hold with just one hand? it's easier to drop it in the way you want...
"It is not only big, it is thick as well. So that there might be a liability" - Vanessa Hand ✋
CNET now became TechRax now
Maybe someday cracked phones would become a fashion statement a.k.a distressed jeans.
Why must the entire backs of phones be glass? Why can't they just have a small circlular glass piece for the wireless charger and the rest be a more durable material?
If you think about it the phone didn't really fail because after all, phone manufacturers are no longer selling us phones but cameras with a phone built-in, and, the cameras did not fail nor break at all on the S20
The camera bump glass didn't break because its a small piece of glass which is harder to break than a piece of big glass
Imagine a random person walking by that same spot after the drop test while wearing flip flops.. OUCH! I think I stepped on glass!
Anyone who wears flip flops in March in NYC deserves glass in their foot.
How exactly would you get glass in your feet if you are wearing flip flops? You do know flip flops have a sole that protects your feet, right? 🤔
@@venom5809 Depends on how thin the flip flop is & how big the piece of glass is.
I think the problem was the rims, and that crazy big camera bump
And the last of the Galaxy phones with a plastic back - the S5 - would have survived the entire test completely intact BUT NO. You all wanted a phone wrapped entirely in glass. Happy now?
Thank goodness it’s not an iPhone
All that money, one quick fall and it done. Wow!
Didn’t the iPhone make it past round 1?
Glass is galss and glass breaks
The drop test of the naked phone are great. Now add a case like 99% of us are going to do and drop it and see what happens. That is the test I would really like to see
It seems to be a camera trick designed to make iphone look great.
It has two cuts. One shot the lady dropping the phone, and the other separate shot, the phone dropped from 1000 meters above!
Why can't they show us the whole scene. Makes me wonder...

"Which is not only big , it is thick as well. So that there might be a liability" Vanessa Hand Orellana
It’s glass and glass breaks
What is surprising about this? This is kinetics and physics. You need a quality cellphone case which distributes and redirects the force.
When we move onto nano materials in construction we could solve this problem.
the camera on this phone, shows that they could make it all alot stronger. i say that because they don't mind replacing the regular G6 glass. but they don't wanna be changing out super expensive camera lenses on a warrentee
It would be rather great, if the dropping scene wasn't divided in two.
There is silica on the road which is the same material from which the glass is made of. It will surely scratch and crack the glass of any kind.
For anyone that wants a good phone case go to the mous website and they'll ship it to you.
Didn't realize I was in 2013 still... People still do drop tests?
They need to remove the camera bump by making the phone thicker. They need to do this by increasing the battery size and increasing the thickness of the gorilla glass. Every year they upgrade the gorilla glass number but reduce its thickness on the phones so essentially more brittle.
You're not paying for a durable phone. You're paying for aesthetics and functionality. Who in their right mind wouldn't put a case on a $1500 phone?
Why are we still drop testing phones... glass will break always at the right angle
Can you stop destroying new devices? Do you think somebody doubts that a glass phone will shutter? Seriously? At least open them after and show how to replace the broken parts.
Dropped it once now my entire camera is shattered. Gotta love ot
OK , now there is other test you really did forget , and that is mica/you can call it the Laminate used for furniture - just a mild drop from "1mm" then touchscreen boom. Real experience about gorilla glass.
Why can't they make the whole phone out of the indestructible camera module parts.
How to prevent this.
1. Get a good case
2. Get a good screen protector
She is doing that near a gutter. Confidence level max.
So no matter how high the number it is, it still cracks. Number is just a number
I wouldn't be mad if companies went back to making phones out of some plastic on the back (maybe with a glass spot for wireless charge in it). I prefer scratches over breaks on the back (cheaper manufacturing costs too)
glass absorbs the shock. You can get the glass replaced for like 23 bucks if you have insurance.
This is Y i would Keep a Case on it at all times.
The last time i used a phone without a case was a Nokia...
So the prominent reason behind cracks is curved edges unlike flat edges like camera glass is more rigid.
Still waiting for ULTRA drop test
