Now that Samsung's
<https://9to5google.com/2020/03/04/samsung-galaxy-s20-plus-first-impressions
/> latest flagship smartphones are out in the wild, we're seeing them put
through their paces. Today we've got a look at a drop test between the
largest of the S20 series, the Ultra with a 6.9-inch display versus the
iPhone 11 Pro Max and it's almost a toss-up which smartphone should walk
away with the victory.
Even though the <https://amzn.to/3cF8gzQ> Galaxy S20 Ultra is decently
larger at 6.9-inches than the <https://amzn.to/2LS5Io4> iPhone 11 Pro Max
and its 6.5-inch display, the S20 Ultra weighs a touch less at 220 g
compared to the 226 g of the Pro Max.
When debuting the iPhone 11, Apple said it
<https://9to5mac.com/2019/09/20/iphone-11-drop-test/> features "the toughest
glass in a smartphone." Notably, Apple doesn't share exactly who makes its
glass. Although it's possible it could feature Corning's Gorilla Glass, we
don't know for sure.
Samsung promotes the fact that the Galaxy S20 uses Gorilla Glass 6 on both
the front and back of the device and at least in this test, it outperformed
the iPhone 11 Pro Max after three rounds of drops, definitely sustaining
less damage.
However, in the bonus round of 10 consecutive drops, the iPhone walked away
shattered but still working, while the S20 Ultra was also shattered but
unusable.
With the S20 doing so much better in the early rounds,

gave the official win to the S20 with a total score of 37/40 compared to
35/40 for the iPhone 11 Pro Max.
