One point in time, any owner will drop their phone, it is a way of life and it is a fact. Recently, the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 was dropped tested and proved that it is not as tough as the iPhone 6 and the HTC One M9.

The iPhone and the M9 were previously tested and both were pretty impressive but it was the M9 who bagged the title as the sturdiest device of its class. However, as much as Samsung wanted to prove that their devices, particularly the Galaxy Note 5, are tough, the drop test proved otherwise.

On recent test done by a firm that specializes on testing the toughness of a device, the Galaxy Note 5 performed poorly. According to Gadgets NDTV, the device did not offer similar robustness when it was dropped on its back and front panel, compared to what the iPhone 6 and HTC One M9 showed when they were tested.

A video of the test, which can be viewed on Geeky Gadgets, showed how the Galaxy Note 5 cracked its back the first time it was dropped on a tile at 1 meter. It was again dropped at the same dimension, but this time on its bottom, and surprisingly the bottom part of the device looks impressive.

The front panel received the same spider cracks when it was also dropped on the same dimension. After the tile, the phone was tested against concrete and at this point, the Galaxy Note 5 was a no match for the concrete. Based on 2uMall's article, the Galaxy Note 5 burst a portion of the back panel which also damaged the phone's camera glass protection.

The same result came up when the phone was dropped on its front panel. Galaxy Note 5's front screen, despite the cracks, continued to work perfectly, but the hazard of finger cuts will be there because of the broken glass.

The drop test that was done on the Galaxy Note 5, iPhone 6s and HTC One M9 is not geared towards damaging the image of the manufacturer or the phone nor to prove which device is better, but to show the buying public an idea of how a device can actually withstand such scenarios.
