Apart from the Galaxy S23 Ultra receiving positive reviews from several outlets, one aspect that most of them did not touch on was its built quality. With Samsung’s latest flagship, you have little to worry about because one durability test shows that the handset is as tough as a rock and will survive pretty much anything you throw in its path, but maybe refrain from dropping it.
Galaxy S23 Ultra’s display also manages to withstand heat from a lighter for an entire minute before the pixels start to fade
Samsung looks to have reinforced its Galaxy S23 Ultra with top-end materials because the box-shaped smartphone will be difficult to put down, as demonstrated by Zack from his YouTube channel, JerryRigEverything. Right from the start, we can see that Samsung has only used a combination of glass and metal for various areas of the flagship, which would explain why it retails for $1,199.99 for consumers in the U.S.
Even the camera lens is made out of high-quality glass, which passes the scratch test with little to no issues. As it is with premium devices, the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s display only scratches at a certain level on the Mohs Scale of hardness, indicating that Samsung spared every amount it could in making this device a high-quality one. Onward to the burn test, which honestly impressed us. Zach holds up a lighter right next to the display, and it takes a whole minute for the pixels to turn white.
Now, onto the last and most readers’ favorite reason to watch the durability test video above; the bend test. While we have seen flagships survive this segment, it is amazing to witness that the Galaxy S23 Ultra does not budge an inch when Zach uses his might to try and snap the phone in half. This is an area that some companies like to avoid investing in to reduce manufacturing costs, but they do get criticized for it when caught.
Samsung likely wants to keep its reputation intact, which is why it mass-produced a tank of a smartphone. We hope that, like the Galaxy S23 Ultra, JerryRigEverything performs the same durability test on the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus, so we can find out if Samsung invested equal resources in making the less expensive models just as durable.
