The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max have shown significant improvements in battery life, thermal management, and camera quality after a week of use, with durable Ceramic Shield 2 and minimal scratches, though store displays may cause material transfer marks. The devices also feature a new vapor chamber cooling system and an improved front camera, making them a compelling upgrade for users.
The iPhone Air has been tested and confirmed to be the most durable iPhone ever, with excellent bend resistance and significantly improved scratch resistance thanks to the new Ceramic Shield 2, surviving over 215 lbs of force without breaking and showing only minor scratches at level 7.
The iPhone 17 series, including the iPhone Air, demonstrates improved durability through various tests, such as resisting 130 pounds of pressure without bending, showing strong scratch resistance with Ceramic Shield 2, and performing well in drop tests, suggesting it can handle daily wear and tear effectively.
Apple has resolved yield issues with its scratch resistant anti-reflective display layer, and the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are expected to feature this upgraded technology, enhancing durability and reducing reflections, although it won't be available on the standard iPhone 17 models.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra features Corning Gorilla Armor, marking a significant advancement in scratch resistance for smartphone glass. In a scratch test, the glass on the S24 Ultra showed minimal marks at level 6 and only minor scratches at level 7 on the Moh's hardness scale, a notable improvement over previous glass. This enhancement should result in better scratch resistance for the S24 Ultra and other devices using Gorilla Armor. Additionally, the smartphone's titanium frame provides strong durability, and pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy S24 series come with various incentives.
Samsung's new Galaxy S24 Ultra features a titanium frame and Gorilla Glass Armor screen protection, offering improved scratch resistance compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Tests show that the Glass Armor protection scratches at level 8 using the Mohs' Hardness Test Kit, while the titanium frame resists scratches up to level 4. This enhanced durability is good news for users who prefer using their phones without additional protection, and the device also scores highly for repairability.
