The Note 8 Undergoes Brutal Durability Testing!

​

The Note 8 is beginning to arrive on the doors of those who pre-ordered. Of course the first thing I did with my $1000 Note 8 when it arrived was apply a slickwraps skin and a case to keep my investment safe. If you plan on carrying your device around naked you might be wondering about how durable the phone is.

Zack of "JerryRigEverything" has published another one of his super intense and highly thorough durability tests, this time on the Note 8. The Note 8 which is covered front and back with Gorilla Glass 5 is able to survive the Mohs pick test up to level 6. The S-Pen, and fingerprint scanner scratch pretty easily with a razor. The display is permanently damaged after the burn test, and the Note 8 is able to hold up during the all important bend test. Overall the Note 8 seems to be pretty durable.

 

[me just sayin]

I cringed while watching the scratch test. must be nice to be able to basically destroy a 1k phone.
