**In the world of high-end smartphones, Galaxy S23 Ultra and iPhone 14 Pro Max are the two most popular devices, but which one is better resistant to drops and other damage?** To answer the question In this case, the famous PhoneBuff channel recently conducted a series of tests to compare the drop resistance of these two devices. In the video, the Galaxy S23 Ultra and iPhone 14 Pro Max are subjected to a series of drops from different heights and angles to determine which device is more resistant to damage. Despite the high price tag of both phones, PhoneBuff saw fit to spend around $3,000 to conduct this test. While both devices suffer significant damage from each drop, the Galaxy S23 appears to be more durable overall. During testing, it became clear that none of the devices were able to withstand a drop without damage. However, there are some key differences between the two phones when it comes to how they weather different drop patterns. For example, in the rear drop test, the Galaxy S23 came out on top. While both devices suffered damage to the rear glass, the Galaxy S23 suffered neater cracks and the damage was limited to the corners. In contrast, the iPhone suffered extensive damage, and the back was cracked to reveal a blue tint from the inside of the device. On the other hand, in the corner drop test, the iPhone is more resilient. While both devices suffered damage to the glass, the metal part of the iPhone is more resistant to impacts than the Galaxy. Finally, in the screen drop test, both devices suffered significant damage, with their screens breaking and needing replacement. While the Galaxy S23 Ultra appears to have suffered a bit more damage due to the nature of the curved display, the iPhone also suffered extensive damage. Despite the fact that both phones suffered significant damage in each drop, overall, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is a bit more resistant. Although the difference is not too big, the Galaxy S23 Ultra has advantages in terms of durability and has been able to withstand drops slightly better than the iPhone. Of course, it’s important to remember this is just one test and results may change with additional testing. Still, for those worried about the drop resistance of high-end smartphones, this test provides some valuable insight into the relative strengths and weaknesses of the Galaxy S23 Ultra and iPhone 14 Pro Max. .
