In the world of high-end smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and the iPhone 14 Pro Max are the two most popular devices. With the recent launch of the Samsung Galaxy S23, many have been wondering which of these two phones is truly the best. While both phones are excellent in many respects, one area of particular concern for many users is their ability to withstand falls and other types of damage.
Galaxy S23 Ultra vs iPhone 14 Pro Max durability test
To answer this question, the popular PhoneBuff channel recently conducted a series of tests to compare the fall resistance of these two devices. In the video, the Galaxy S23 Ultra and the iPhone 14 Pro Max are subjected to a series of falls from different heights and angles. With the goal of determining 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 suffered significant damage from each of the falls. The Galaxy S23 looks to be more resistant overall.
During the test, it became clear that neither device was capable of withstanding a fall without sustaining damage. However, there were some key differences between the two phones. In terms of how they fared in different types of falls.

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 had cleaner breaks and the damage was limited to the corners. In contrast, the iPhone suffered more extensive damage. And the back cracked to reveal a blue color from inside the device.
On the other hand, in the corner drop test, the iPhone was found to be more resilient. While both devices suffered damage to the glass, the metal of the iPhone was able to withstand the impact better than the Samsung.
Ultimately, in the screen drop test, both devices suffered significant damage. And their screens were left smashed and in need of replacement. While the Galaxy S23 appeared to suffer slightly more damage due to the nature of its curved screen, the iPhone also sustained extensive damage.
Despite the fact that both phones sustained significant damage in each of the falls. The Galaxy S23 is slightly more resistant overall. While the differences were not dramatic, the Galaxy S23 had cleaner breaks. And was able to withstand the falls slightly better than the iPhone.
Of course, it is important to keep in mind that this was just one test and the results could vary with additional testing. However, for those who are concerned about the fall resistance of their high-end smartphones, this test provides some valuable insights into the relative strengths and weaknesses of the Samsung Galaxy S23 and the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
