Last week, we saw the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra make a big splash PBKReviews drop and durability tests. To no one’s surprise, the S23 Ultra shattered on the first drop from waist height. It was believed that the S23 Ultra’s curved display might be to blame for destroying it so easily, and there was a hint of hope that the S23+, which has a flat glass display, could fare better.

It didn’t quite happen like that. Although the S23 Ultra uses Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the front and back of the device, the S23+ features the same type of glass. Despite the flat display and the latest iteration of Gorilla Glass, the S23+ suffered the same fate of failing the first round drop test.
The cracks on the flat glass panels of the S23+ were significantly smaller than those on the curved panels of the Galaxy S23 Ultra. In both cases, the touch display continued to display content and accept touch input with no problems, well, apart from the shattered glass.
As is the case with most modern smartphone glass sandwiches, they are likely to break if dropped from waist height. In case you missed it, our reviews of the Samsung Galaxy S23+ (review) and S23 Ultra (review) are already live.
