Samsung’s official delivery date for the Galaxy S24 Extremely is right this moment, although we have seen it turn out to be obtainable a bit early in some locations. So now which you could simply go and seize one from a retailer with out the necessity to pre-order, it’s possible you’ll be questioning how that titanium construct holds up – the brand new Gorilla Armor too.
Fortunately, Zack over at JerryRigEverything has simply the video for you, making the S24 Extremely endure his conventional ‘sturdiness take a look at’ which entails scratches, burns, and naturally – the bend take a look at. Let’s seize some popcorn and watch it collectively.
In case you could not look ahead to no matter cause, this is the nitty gritty. First off, it is essential to notice that Samsung does not point out which grade of titanium it is utilizing – Apple makes use of grade 5, which is one among two most prevalent ones, the opposite being grade 2. Grade 5 titanium is dearer than grade 2 titanium, which is why firms utilizing grade 5 typically boast about it and people utilizing grade 2 keep mum.
We will not actually ensure if that is the case with Samsung – in spite of everything, it massively upgraded the audio system within the S24 sequence with out telling anybody. Anyway, on to the take a look at. The Gorilla Armor glass on prime of the display finely scratches at degree 6 on the Mohs hardness scale, however there is a twist. There are not any “deeper grooves at degree 7” this time round. The marks are there, they’re simply not as deep as on different varieties of glass, so the Gorilla Armor positively appears to be extra than simply hype. These deeper grooves solely really present up at degree 8, which is a primary within the cell world.
The titanium is not scratch-proof, so after all it does really scratch. It is unclear if the buttons are titanium or an aluminum alloy. The S Pen will get dismantled to point out its innards, and pixels final about 30 seconds beneath a flame earlier than going white and never recovering.
Lastly, the S24 Extremely survives the bend take a look at with flying colours. There’s a tiny flex when bending from either side, however there’s completely no cracking in anyway.
