Welcome to TechSmartt and Everything Apple Pro's special video today! We're excited to have both of you here with us, and we're going to put two new phones to the test: the Samsung Galaxy S10e and the iPhone XR. This is one of our first drop tests featuring these two devices, so let's get started!
As we unbox these real quick, I'm going to open up the iPhone XR for you. But before that, I'd like to hear your thoughts on how this phone feels. What do you think about how it feels? So much more compact versus the XR, right? The XR feels bloated in comparison.
I think what's interesting is that Samsung has really pumped up the SD cards this year, offering 128 GB, and also included AKG headphones with your purchase. You probably pre-ordered them, didn't you? Check out our playlist below to see both of our videos on this phone.
If Samsung's competing with Apple, that means there's something here, right? If they're doing it, we know it can't be wrong. We've done a giveaway video for the S10 Plus before, where we gave away five phones to anyone in the world who subscribed to both of our channels and followed us on Instagram. It was pretty sweet!
But now we're looking at the Samsung Galaxy S10e versus the iPhone XR. I have to say, I've never really liked the iPhone XR personally. The color selection is nice, but it's not a good value in my eyes. The battery life does make a big difference, though - camera, sound, and display are all great.
I like the OLED display, don't ya? But with the S10e compared to the S10, it doesn't have as strong of a display. It's an AMOLED display versus an OLED. I think that's right! Anyway, let's get started on this drop test and see how these phones fare from a few different heights.
As we start off with the pocket-height drop, which is our classic TechSmartt style, keep in mind that these are also a bit chunkier than their other counterparts. The S10 Plus video was pretty intense - I mean, if you saw that! These two devices have thicker bezels and might feel a little heftier to some users.
Now that we've collabed with Everything Apple Pro and joined our styles together as always, it's time to see how these phones fare. The Prism White color is going to be put through the wringer, so let's get into it!
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- Hey, what's good, guys?Welcome back to TechSmarttfor a very special video.I'm here with- The one and only EverythingApplePro.- Everything Samsung pro!And in today's video we'redoing one of the firstSamsung Galaxy S10e versusiPhone XR drop test.Very interesting, what Samsung's up to.So roll the intro.(electricity powering up)If you wanna check out any of the videoslink down in the descriptionto the big playlist.Didn't we do another drop test?- We might've, and you guys can find thatin the i-card up there.- S10 plus versus XS Max.Let's un-box these real quick.I'll open up the iPhone XR.You're the guest, youwanna open up the S10e?- Yeah, so what I cantell you about this guyis honestly an absolute value that Samsungis giving you compared to this phone.But from a durability standpoint,it's got Gorilla Glass 5,so they cheaped out on that.They didn't give it thelatest from the S10 Plus.I don't think it'll save it either way,but this thing is a little bit thicker,little bit thicker bezels,the glass doesn't wraparound the same way.I'm feeling pretty good about this one.- What do you think about how it feels?- So much more compact versus the XR.The XR feels bloated in comparison.- Are you talking about the Juul XR?I mean, c'mon, man.So this is actually theiPhone XR Juul Edition.If you guys missed that video,right up there in the i-card.Basically, this thing satin a vat of Juul juice.It is still living, no joke.(sniffs)Does this got a salty smell?- I don't wanna get high, man.- Fair enough, safe man over here.You guys know what comes in a box.What's interesting is they're reallypumping the SD cards this year, 128 GB.That and then the AKG headphones.You got the Galaxy Buds, youprobably pre-ordered them.Check the playlist downbelow, we both did videos.So, what you can expect in a box.- The first real competitorto the iPhone XR,and we're seeing it from Samsung.That's very significant.If Samsung's competing, thatmeans there's something here.Apple is on to somethingwith this formula.- If you guys didn't check outthe giveaway video, it's right up there.All you gotta do is just make sureyou hit subscribe to both our channels,follow us both on Instagram, and thenjust leave a comment on both the photos.We'll pick a winner in two weeks,we're giving away five S10 Pluses.Anyone in the world,and you pick the color.Pretty sweet there, but with the S10eit's really compared to the iPhone XR.What do you think about the iPhone XR?- I've never really liked it, personally.I like the color of the selection,but it's not a good value in my eyes.It's too expensive.- Battery life.Do you think it makes a big difference?- Oh, the battery life isgreat, camera is sound.It's the display I have an issue with.- You like that OLED, don't ya?- I like the OLED, I like 3-D touch,it just doesn't have either.- So with the S10e, compared to the S10,it doesn't have as strong of a display.It's an AMOLED display versus an OLED.That's right?- Yeah, but it's also CorningGorilla Glass 5 versus,we don't know if this is Dual Ion Glass,that's not clear, so it's a mix-up here.- You've heard it herefrom EverythingAppleProand TechSmartt: basically fortwo cameras on this phone,one camera on that, and nonotch, what could go wrong?So we're gonna do adrop test and basicallysee how these phones farefrom a few different heights.We're definitely gonna test these outthe EverythingApplePro way.Really get into it and see is this newPrism White gonna break?I mean, if you saw the S10 Plus video...- Yeah, these are also a bit chunkierthan their other counterparts,just keep that in mind.- Interesting.- Much thicker bezels, I thinkthey're a little heftier.- So in classic TechSmartt fashion,which now we've collabedwith EverythingApplePro,we're basically joiningboth our styles together,and like always, starting offwith the pocket-height drop.I'm 6'3\", how tall are you?- 5'11\".- What we're gonna be doing is droppingeach phone from the rivet on our jeans.- Just about there.- The last one right there.- It's not exact science, but when is itwhen you're dropping yourphone out of your pants?- It's true.I'm gonna start with the brand-new S10e.Sidenote: don't you just feel awful,always doing this to brand-new phones.- Every single time.I don't care if it's the cheaper version.- It feels really good,and compared to the XR,if you had to pick, which would you pick?- Definitely this one, I love compact.- Same here.- And that's compact.- I'm just gonna get to it,it was nice knowing you.Three.- Happy birthday to the ground.- (laughing) Two, one.(smack)I can't even look at it when I drop it.Alright, you're up.- My drop?Alright, here we go.- Bonus points if you hit it.- Three, two, one.(smack)I know a good drop,that's the funny thing.By sound, I literally knowif it's a good drop or not.- We do have some glass here fromthe previous drop teston Philip's channel.But starting off with the S10e,flawless.- I'm gonna brush all the glass off.- With the S10e,not really any prevalent damage.I'd say the screen is probablythe first thing I think is gonna go.I don't think the back isgonna have anything happen.It's Corning Gorilla Glass 5.- Aluminum does fold in a little,so it's not as durable as the 10S,but it's not anything terrible, I'd say.- Alright, let's do another one.Dropping from the sameangle, top-down now.Three,two,one.(smack)- This seems alright.Three, two, one.(smack)Good hit.- Any damage on yours?- I would say no.The aluminum does fracture alittle, it's got some creases.Other than that.- I have aslight nick right there.Is it gonna impact theway you use your phone?No, you're good.Now dropping it from the back side.So Corning Gorilla Glass 5 compared tothe S10 Plus, which hasCorning Gorilla Glass 6.Three,two, oh man,one.(smack)- Here we go.Three, two.(smack)- So on the S10e the glass is fine,no visible cracks, phonestill works perfectly.- I've just got a bunch ofsmudges and dents in the metal,but it's the glass that matters,and that's holding up pretty well.- Here we go, dropping them screen first.This could be it.Three, two, one.(smack)- Three, two, one.(smack)- S10e is perfect.- I kinda likedoing this duo drop test.- It's nice, it's kinda soothing.- It's almost a challenge.- There's no anxiety.- Let's bet, 100 dollarsif yours breaks first.- I won the last video,I won in your video.- That was five dollars.I say the XR is gonna be the survivor.- Big roller.- It's a more durable one in general.- Alright, I'll take that bet.The next drop is from head height.Again, around six feet here,around five feet for Philip.- I'll try and match it up. (laughing)- With this, this is gonna simulateif you're obviously on aphone call and it drops.Probably the second-most popularway of breaking your phone.In three, two, one.(smack)- Good drop.Three, two, one.(smack)Okay, let's see who won that bet.- Oh, baby!- I think we both lostour bets, look at this.The screen's not cracked but it's screwed.(laughing)That's no good.- We both just lost thequickest bet in history.Checking out the detailshere, we have a cracked back.Gorilla Glass 5, definitelysurprising there.Did you think this was gonna go that fast?- It was the wayyou dropped it, honestly.But no, I did not.It makes sense, withit where the S10 broke,right around there.This didn't crack, thisis just internal damage.The shockwave traveled through,and it messed somethingup with the controller.- In fairness, though,it did have Juul juice in it,so we don't know if that's what caused it.It could've been a double injury.- This back's already broken,why not just do the worst.- Here we go.Dropping in three, two, one.(smack)That did not get the back.- Three, two, one.(smack)- Screen, wow look at those edges.This is what we're talking about.With these curved edges,if you do drop your phoneand you don't have a screen protector,or you don't have acase, these could crack.(laughing) and they probably will.Looking at the back, it accentuated it.Just check that out, that's not even wherethe impact point was.It was right there, or maybe we just gottacheck the slow-motion.You guys let us know in the comments,and vote up in the i-card right nowwhich phone you think is gonna survive.We have a few more heights to check out.How's yours doing?- Honestly, pretty rough shape.It's completely broken on the back,the front is still usable.I'd rather have it this way than cracked,both, at head height, just fall apart.Last one.Front facing, on the XR,the glass still has a crack.We gotta do it, we have to break it.- Head height, dropping in three,two,it's good knowing ya, one.(smack)- Two, one.(smack)- Uh, yeah.- I think that's done.It always is with that sound.Yeah.That was a bit of a redundant test,at this point they're already broken.- Compared to the screen, look at this.Just a crack through the top,I think that was on thelast test, not too sure.It's cracked a little bit in the back,that's not a lot a bit.Would you say this is bad, or would youjust slap a case on it and tough it out?- Oh yeah, case, no problem.With this, there's a key differencebetween iPhone and Android glass,Corning Gorilla Glass, is that thisis completely smooth when it cracks.Here you're gonna cut your finger,it starts to jut out, so there'sa really big usabilitydifference after it breaks, even.That's a factor to consider.- It's true.- We can learn basically thatthese will survive basic falls.Anything from waist below should be okay.But if you're taking it higher,if you're a high-risk person whereyour phone falls a lot, get a case.- Now for the finaltest, we have a ladder.Isn't that intimidating?I thought so.Do you think the S10e will make it?- Don't fall!- Do you think I will make it?So we're gonna be recording fromthe S10e and the XR on both drops.Gonna be dropping it from,I think this is,very tall, about ten, eleven, twelve feet.In three, two, one.(smack)- Let's do one more.Screen is too in state.- Second drop, same angle, S10e, Three.Oh, that glass is sharp, I can feel it.Two,one.(smack)If that didn't do it,I don't know what did.- I think we got it,mission accomplished.- Yo, dude, put it down, here.I don't want you to cut your fingers,it's actually really sharp.Does the glove fit?- This is so extra, I love it.- The glove fits!Take proper precaution, here we go.- I've beencutting my hands for years,where have these been?- With the S10e, on the back,actually with the GorillaGlass 5, it is fraying,so you can feel it if you ranyour finger across the back.The glass isn't spider webbing at the top,just at the impact zone.- Two completely isolatedincidences here, that's crazy.Usually this will connect to the top.- Yeah.- Okay, let's go from here.- Whoa, look at you, big baller.- Ready, set, go.- Dude, that was so accurate,did you see how that fell?That was an A1 drop.Dude, you just demolished it.- Yeah, let's see how that one looked.- Whoa, dude, the way that fell.- That's so trippy.- So how else is the XR doing?- Honestly, it's still usable.If you wanted to you coulduse this as your daily,it's not cracked down here.- You'd need a case.You still need a case, definitelyneed a screen protector at this point.With the S10e, it's still usable,your fingerprint readeris the power button,so as long as that doesn't get destroyed,I think you're alright.- I would say these were prettyeven in terms of durability.They both broke around the same areas,same symptoms, and all.- Does the Ion X Glass,I mean, we don't know it.What do you think aboutit compared to the XS Max?- I'd say this was more or less the same,honestly, the S10 Plus broke too early,so it's really hard to say, very similar.- In comparison to theS9 in previous years,is it more durable this year or less?- It's so up to chance,sometime it's more,sometimes it's less, it's hard say.- Depends on the drop.I think with the S10e, and the iPhone XR,you guys gotta battle that outin the comments down below.Which is your favorite phone?That's gonna be it for this
