Your explanation of why they do water last makes a lot of sense. At the same time, the fact that they're going from most risky to least risky so that they can use a single device doesn't mean that they're doing the test in a way that is fair to the phone or most useful to the viewers. And yea, I agree to that it's great that they're actually doing real hard tests.
It seems like almost every torture test episode the water test isn't fair. I think she should do the water test before the drop test for more accurate results! :)
My first note 2 died a month after I got it. Went for a long walk with it in the pocket of my parker jacket. Started raining and the moisture that got into the pocket killed the phone. Sent it to get fixed but it came back with a faulty touch screen (unresponsive). Got a replacement Note 2 and it has survived over a year now :) Otherwise I love the phone!
The Gentlemens Choice, The ONLY way I'll ever give up my Samsung Galaxy Note 2, is when the Galaxy Note 3 comes out. That being said, I've dropped mine from a height of 1 foot and she cracked like a baby. However, other than dropper it, this machine is a horse, I truly love it. Great review. Thanks Kurtis K. Cullen
I dont see how it failed the drop tests when on other videos like dropping an ipad and it has a massive spider web crack but it still passes? These people are payed by Appld
I'm surprised at how easily that broke. I was considering getting a Note II but not after this. I work outside and need a durable phone, my Photon has dropped off of roofs, been slung accross the room and fallen out of my truck countless times. The screen is hardly scratched so much as cracked. Shame, I was looking forward to the stylus, loved it on my HTC View. Thanks for the test! Saved me time and money.
you shouldn't keep your phone in that black hole you call a purse! Its inevitably going to get scratched with all the keys, and shiny objects you women have in there!
+Jordan Kwok yeah galaxy 3 and note 2 has the same shape it is so vulnerable! other series such as galaxy s2 and note 4 5 etc does survive many drops! Their designs are more stronger and different. It is just s 3 and note 2 that is round shaped and breaks easily god!! haha
My HTC Magic recently fell down the wooden stairs up to my attic and then another story down onto stone tiles. It survived it without any (further) cracks, but I don't think it'll do it another time.
Water is probably the most high-risk test you can perform on an electronics gadget. They probably perform the tests from least risky to most risky so that there are more chances they will be able to use a single device throughout the testing. I doubt they have enough disposable money to destroy several of these things. I'm happy we get these hard tests at all, a lot of other people will test the devices VERY squeamishly, almost as if they want to keep the devices for themselves afterwards.
It's not even the screen (digitizer) that needs to be replaced. It's just the sheet of glass protecting the digitizer. That can be bought online for $10-15 and replaced if done properly.
The teary side of this story has yet to be told. To replace that sorry cracked screen reportedly costs $299. dub-dub-dub dot parts4repair dot comFORWARD SLASHsamsung-galaxy-note-ii-n7100-complete-screen-assembly-with-bezel-white Another YT channel did a major drop test and the GN2 fared much better. So adding your info, we know that it cracks. We just don't know at what point. I got this phone because I *love* it. Thanks to your video, I will be taking precautions. TY for a great torture test!
did you see the surface the note 2 droped on...all drop test people say that your phone has a way higher chance on smooth surface(indoor, deck) but hard surface(concrete, whatever they dropped the note 2 on) will almost always crack if it goes face down
also, I've read that it is the same stuff, it's just, that with the larger screen, it is much more susceptible to 'shattering' due to impact (for other reasons than how it (itself) falls)
Can you guys devise a torture test for a desktop computer, like the iMac? That would be so cool! I love these torture tests, please please please don't stop making them!
The larger a plane of glass the more likely it is to break, so its pretty self explanatory that the note 2 would be more likely to have a screen crack or shatter.
Maybe it gives a thought that manufacturers actually stress test these devices before releasing it to us? I like these videos. Even though some of the things aren't really practical in real situations. But at least you now know what your damages your device is capable of.
Not incorrect. It comes down to whether you want a professional factory replacement or an as you say, mucked up ebay job. No one said that it couldn't be replaced...just that it costs a grip to have it replaced back to factory specs.
What are you talking about? It's extremely prone to screen cracking when dropped... I've seen *tons* of reports of it cracking from small, knee-high drops.
i dont know how u did the drop test on 4s coz my iphone 4s glass broke twice and that too just from a 4 feet fall... u i can not say wheather the drop test you guys do predict a guaranteed result... rest you guys are doing a good job and i really love your show... take care Tej
Also, the drop tests are inconsistent cuz she drops them from different heights onto different surfaces (of course dropping onto a pillow vs asphalt will change results). The phones also drop at different angles (which is realistic, but doesnt follow the scientific rule of only changing one variable).
Something has to be said for the screen still working after it cracked. That is more important to me anyway. Screen may not look as nice but at least it functions.
would it not make more sense to do the water test before the drop test simply because if the screens were to crack and make the water test fair. It doesnt even matter if the phone were to work after the WT to do a drop test because one would only be concerned about cosmetic damage from the DT

Do the Note 7 Torture Test in the oven and smash the battery
*puts phone in the oven at 200 degrees*
Phone doesn't turn back on .... " how is it not working I'm a little surprised "
Note 2 drop test: lightly pushes it downstairs. iPod 5 drop test: *chucks at ground*

Do the note 3 torture test
Ryan Connolly I agree
luckily that was the note 2 and not the note 7
like if she is still on cnet
Note 3 is the best note ever!
Do the note 8
ill be funny if this was her boss's phone
😂
If I was the kid I would of ran off with the phone 😂😂
lol
XD
in all fairness though, if you drop any phone on a concrete service from that height and it lands in the right spot, it will probably crack.
it pisses me off that shes the one doing the torture test but shes actually worried about the phone and calling it "little guy"
They should bring back this series
It seems like almost every torture test episode the water test isn't fair. I think she should do the water test before the drop test for more accurate results! :)
I love your torture tests. Please keep continuing them they are cool to watch. 🤩🤩🤩👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I nearly dropped my note 2 on the concrete today but my headphones saved it thank god
Sorry to say, but your "god" did not save your device. The samsung engineers that designed it did.
I didn't say god saved it ?
I'm surprised a note 3 torture test hasn't been done yet. The phone was released in October and is very very popular. I can't wait til it's done.
My first note 2 died a month after I got it. Went for a long walk with it in the pocket of my parker jacket. Started raining and the moisture that got into the pocket killed the phone.

all you have to do is keep it in a zip lock bag at all times keeps it safe from rain just don't take a bath with it.
A good case for an expensive smartphone is always a good investment.
At least it won't blow up
Thank you Molly, I always enjoy you when you are with the Cnet group lol. Good test!
6:04 happens to me!

+diamondminerHD Mcpe player Well it cracked that means it got damaged.. the point is to make the phone/screen alive
Because Samshit sucks
Jake Samsung is better then a lot of things, I can tell you are a kid and don't have a clue what you are on about

I'm surprised at how easily that broke. I was considering getting a Note II but not after this.

Lol you think your so funny but in reality your just cancer.
Love the show, don't stop making them!!! I will never stop watching them, and u make the show more fun to watch!!!
That bestie thing was pathetic
You're pathetic too.
Sweet! I've been waiting for this one since the unboxing.
should have dropped the s3 on concrete
ikr! but dropping them on 2 different grounds and comparing them after is pretty much unfair :C
+Jordan Kwok yeah galaxy 3 and note 2 has the same shape it is so vulnerable!
other series such as galaxy s2 and note 4 5 etc does survive many drops! Their designs are more stronger and different.
It is just s 3 and note 2 that is round shaped and breaks easily god!! haha
Great review as always! I like your personality. It adds to the fun of the video!
What a waste african kids could have eaten that phone
If i had a gun i couldve shot you but i didint did i
My HTC Magic recently fell down the wooden stairs up to my attic and then another story down onto stone tiles. It survived it without any (further) cracks, but I don't think it'll do it another time.
THANK YOU FOR THE TEST, I LEARNED THAT THE BATTERY CAN BE REPLACED, LETS HOPE MINE NOTE 2 DOES NOT FALL INTO PERIL.
Water is probably the most high-risk test you can perform on an electronics gadget. They probably perform the tests from least risky to most risky so that there are more chances they will be able to use a single device throughout the testing.

I always put my phone in an oven for an hour while im away, what are you talking about?
It's not even the screen (digitizer) that needs to be replaced. It's just the sheet of glass protecting the digitizer. That can be bought online for $10-15 and replaced if done properly.
When you picked it up from the fish bowl, It was still on. When you said it was shutting down, the screen was just dimming from the screen timeout.
The teary side of this story has yet to be told. To replace that sorry cracked screen reportedly costs $299. dub-dub-dub dot parts4repair dot comFORWARD SLASHsamsung-galaxy-note-ii-n7100-complete-screen-assembly-with-bezel-white

I like how there were people trying to save the iPhone but not the Galaxy from the freezer
it breaks my heart to see videos like this
You gave the Note 2 CPR at the start but you forgot the defibulator.
When CNET was good...
A good trick for cracked screens in the temporary is to put clear packing tape over the cracked parts of the screen
no dip

I may be wrong but i didnt see the apple get thrown down all those wooden stairs before its drop test.
The larger a plane of glass the more likely it is to break, so its pretty self explanatory that the note 2 would be more likely to have a screen crack or shatter.
Maybe it gives a thought that manufacturers actually stress test these devices before releasing it to us? I like these videos. Even though some of the things aren't really practical in real situations. But at least you now know what your damages your device is capable of.
You should test the camera after the water test
And thats why you should buy a case for the note II.
Please do the note 3 test I am very curious what my phone can go through
On the out of car test the phone hit rigid concrete, this means the most likely the phone will crack. Not a fair test.
i wonder, after the water test, is the speakers broke?
To be fair, it has been frozen and heated prior to doing the drop test
It is supposed to represent leaving your phone in your car during the summer or winter when temps can range from 200 degrees to below zero.
Can't believe she just said "... come backs on." It was supposed to be "... comes back on."
Not incorrect. It comes down to whether you want a professional factory replacement or an as you say, mucked up ebay job. No one said that it couldn't be replaced...just that it costs a grip to have it replaced back to factory specs.
CNET when are you going to do the note 3 I been waiting for ages
2:22 you've got to come back, everything come backs on! 😂
When will you make one for the Note 3? I love your videos!
What are you talking about? It's extremely prone to screen cracking when dropped... I've seen *tons* of reports of it cracking from small, knee-high drops.
No phone can survive a drop on asphalt. Get yourself a good case and you'll never have to worry again.
It might not have a meaning as such, however it implies something that you could find if you googled the meaning.
i dont know how u did the drop test on 4s coz my iphone 4s glass broke twice and that too just from a 4 feet fall... u i can not say wheather the drop test you guys do predict a guaranteed result... rest you guys are doing a good job and i really love your show... take care Tej
I forgot how often I leave my phone in a oven. Thanks for this.
Ur tests r amazing and so helpful, but also u have to try calling after the tests to check on the signal, microphone and loud speaker..
I'm pretty sure you're suppose to open the beads, and just leave them in the wrapper.
What do you think.. Dropping out of a 4x4 onto jagged rocks and it would survive?
"Everything come backs on"
do you know what the word "Torture" means?
it kinda weird using a gal 2 because it look more like i'm talking to a brick that thin
it's funny seeing all of these crash tests and watching the iPhone 5 beating all of the competitors.
from an engineering point of view the freezer can never kill a phone. only prolong its life :)
i lvoe how a "pretty easy drop" is the phone flying down a stair case.
i wonder if the sound on it still worked?
In warm countries cars get really hot. And so, every time I go to a warm country I have to get new covers for the windscreens.
You should do a torture test on the HTC one
You should try testing it in the same drops as the gs3 because the drop out of the car was on pretty big gravel dont ya think?
Also, the drop tests are inconsistent cuz she drops them from different heights onto different surfaces (of course dropping onto a pillow vs asphalt will change results). The phones also drop at different angles (which is realistic, but doesnt follow the scientific rule of only changing one variable).
The whole point is to test if the phone can survive the heat.
Something has to be said for the screen still working after it cracked. That is more important to me anyway. Screen may not look as nice but at least it functions.
Is it broken if you just droped it will still might work
Do the samsung galaxy j7 torchure test but the xtreme test is the phone falling in a river
Also do a torture test of an RCA tablet and a Z pad
How is the drop a fail if It came on
You put it in the freezer, you put it in the oven, you kicked it down the stairs, and you get all upset when it cracks in 4 1/2 ft impact
I feel like water test should've been done before the drop test.
The fact that you froze the phone and then cooked it may have weakened the glass... First drop test I've seen it fail.
The phone dropped face first on an uneven rocky surface, of course it would shatter.
"This is surprising it has legit scuffing" as her son throws it down the stairs.
would it not make more sense to do the water test before the drop test simply because if the screens were to crack and make the water test fair. It doesnt even matter if the phone were to work after the WT to do a drop test because one would only be concerned about cosmetic damage from the DT
it hit rocks how is the drop test a failure
Yes me to! I am just using a flimsy thin case for my Note II. But now I am nervous!
Is there a torture test for the Optimus G Pro??
please tell me that did not come from that deamdau5 video
yeah you can get a screen replaced but it costs more then what you bought it for
Did anyone else notice that the battery cover was open when she said they were going to plug it in ??
Well the s3 didnt land on the screen like the note
