The Galaxy S7 isn't quite as tough as the iPhone 6s
The Galaxy S7 phones beat the iPhone underwater.
The iPhone 6s Plus started dying after 10 minutes under water.
The S7 survived 30 minutes under a meter of water, but the speakers suffered permanent damage and became muffled. That shouldn't happen with the its IP68 water-resistance rating.
Then both phones were put through the tumble test.
This is what it looked like inside.
Only the iPhone 6s survived without a broken screen. The S7 phones and the iPhone 6s Plus all suffered broken screens.
And finally, SquareTrade puts the S7 phones through a bend test.
The S7 Edge is much weaker than the iPhone, bending under only 110 lbs of pressure compared to the iPhone's 170.
The standard S7 could withstand the same 170 lbs of pressure as the iPhone 6s. It suffered "catastrophic" failure at 250 lbs.
The final conclusion?
The Galaxy S7 is better equipped to deal with water than the iPhone 6s. However, the iPhone 6s comes out on top when it comes to damage from hitting hard surfaces.
Specifically, between the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, the 6s was the toughest out of them all.
