How durable is the Galaxy S23 Ultra: Extremely difficult to bend, even if the screen is on fire, it won’t ‘stick’

Officially launched in early February 2023, Samsung’s latest flagship Galaxy S23 Ultra has quickly become one of the most notable Android smartphone models in 2023.

Possessing high configuration, performance among the strongest today, and an impressive camera system with outstanding 100x zoom feature which has very good image quality, but the Galaxy S23 Ultra still has a lot of advantages for users. Praised by professionals and technologists.

Accordingly, durability and certainty is one of the strengths of the S23 Ultra that needs to be recognized compared to many smartphone models on the market. This is a particularly important criterion for expensive smartphone models, as it helps technology users to be less anxious during the use of the device.

Specifically, the durability of the S23 Ultra has been clearly demonstrated in the ‘torture’ test conducted by JerryRigEverything – a famous technology YouTuber with 7.6 million followers, with ‘playing’ with smartphones and games. technological equipment to verify durability.

The durability of the front screen

The front of the Galaxy S23 Ultra is equipped with Gorilla Glass Victus 2, the strongest glass from Corning today, which is said to bring the best durability today among Android smartphones.

However, in JerryRigEverything’s test, actual scratches still appear on the screen of the S23 Ultra. Even when using the latest tempered glass, scratches are inevitable, when JerryRigEverything uses sharp and hard metal tools to cut directly on the screen. However, these scratches only appear at level 6, with deeper scratches appearing at level 7 on the Mohs hardness scale (i.e. being slashed with great force).

Notably, compared to the potential S22 Ultra version, the durability of the S23 Ultra still has a very significant improvement. Specifically, the Galaxy S22 Ultra with Gorilla Glass Victus 1 also started to appear scratches at levels 6 and 7 on the Mohs hardness scale during JerryRigEverything’s testing.

However, scratches on the S23 Ultra do not seem to be so easy to notice with the naked eye at level 6. Of course, even a slight scratch is still considered a scratch, but this indicates scratch resistance. of Gorilla Glass Victus 2 has been enhanced compared to the Victus 1 version.

Previously, in the same test of JerryRigEverything, iPhone 14, which is equipped with Ceramic Shield tempered glass in Apple’s best form today, also appeared “extremely translucent” scratches at level 6 on Mohs hardness scale and scratches are more prominent at level 7.

Quite impressively, the screen and front glass of the Galaxy S23 Ultra show very good durability when being on fire within 60 seconds by a lighter. It’s almost impossible to see any damage to the S23 Ultra on JerryRigEverything’s video.

This is also an improvement over the S22 Ultra, which showed an error on the screen with the same ‘torture’ with a lighter. Of course, the durability of the S23 Ultra screen also completely surpassed the iPhone 14 in the fire test of JerryRigEverything. Accordingly, the pixels on the screen of Apple’s smartphone began to be damaged beyond repair after being directly heated after about 20 seconds.

The durability of the back glass and camera lens

The rear glass and camera lenses of the Galaxy S23 Ultra are also equipped with Gorilla Glass Victus 2. In JerryRigEverything’s testing, they are extremely resistant to light scratches caused by a knife. Despite being repeatedly slashed by the sharp tip of the knife with a fairly strong force on the surface, the scratches on the camera assembly and back glass are difficult to see in the video.

Finally, in the double-bend test, the Galaxy S23 Ultra continued to prove its ‘stubborn’ even when bent from the front, when almost no damage was noted and Smartphone is still working normally. Similarly, when bent very strongly from the back, the Galaxy S23 Ultra shows that this smartphone is really “hard as a rock”, similar to what the S22 Ultra has shown before.

At the end of the video, JerryRigEverything asserts that Samsung’s smartphone models have never had any durability problems, and the S23 Ultra is no exception.

However, Samsung’s latest smartphone still has significant improvements in durability compared to previous Galaxy S models, thanks to the new generation of tempered glass. Even so, this famous YouTuber still notes that people should protect their S23 with a case to avoid possible serious damage.
