Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Drop & Scratch Test Key Insight: The S24 Ultra’s durability didn’t impress me. The screen cracked from a waist-high drop, and the frame got scraped up. Samsung needs to step up their game if they want to compete with other companies using tougher glass. The scratch resistance is good, but the drop performance needs work. π
Drop Testing π±
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra recently underwent a drop test, and the results are in. If you’re interested in seeing more videos like this, make sure you subscribe and click on the notification bell to stay updated with upcoming content.
I’ll also be taking this phone apart for a tear-down, so keep an eye out if you’re interested in that.
For the first drop, the phone was tested from waist height onto concrete. The impact resulted in some scrapes on the frame and a cracked screen. Despite Samsung’s claims about an improved glass armor, the screen did not withstand the drop unscathed.
First Drop Observations β
- Some scrapes on the frame
- Cracked screen
- No significant improvement in glass strength

| Head Height | Not tested due to compromised screen |
Let’s move on to the second drop, which will be on the back from waist height. This time, there were only minor scrapes on the titanium frame and no cracks on the back of the phone. However, a minor crack or chip was observed on the top left of the screen glass.
Second Drop Results π
- Minor scrapes on the frame
- Minor crack on the top left of the screen glass
- No significant damage to the back of the phone
Moving forward, the third drop was attempted on the side of the titanium frame. While there were additional scrapes on the frame, the screen continued to operate fine without any issues.

For the fourth and final drop, the phone was dropped on the bottom rim, resulting in minor scratches on the frame but no damage to the back glass and no impact on the screen functionality.
Overall, the frame showed some improvements, although there is room for glass strength enhancement to withstand drops better.
π Scratching Test π
After the drop test, the phone underwent a scratch test. Despite being moved around with sand and gravel on the screen, no significant scratches were found.
Conclusion
While the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra showed improvements in frame durability, it falls short in terms of screen glass strength to handle drops effectively.
This test highlights the need for advancements in glass technology to enhance both scratch resistance and drop durability.
