The LG G6 was destroyed in our drop test

LG's newest flagship has a beautiful all-glass design, but the screen may be easier to crack than its predecessors.

I've had my g6 longer then any other phone. I have a 1$ clear ebay case on it. It's been dropped so many times, it's accidentally flung out my hand across the pavement, it's been fell on, sat on dropped on. It's been completely submerged many times and I'm currently typing this on that phone. I've never had one problem, crack, chip or scratch. Best phone I've ever bought hands down.

The only difference between gorilla glass 3 vs 5 is that it has less scratch resistance than 5. It does not have a difference between shattering. It's another smear campaign for no logical reason in my opinion.

should this surprise anyone a all glass phone cracks when dropped, just put a case on it and be done with it!

Now do this with s8 what will full destroyed on 1 test.

But honestly... if it falls off the roof of the car, wouldn't the bigger worry be that you have lost the phone?

[MarionChitoDelaCruz]

i am not worried with g6. i have spigen case.

[mohdelyask]

People who drop phones as many times as these test should opt for a cover. And secondly was this a indirect AD for the samsung galaxy s8. Saying the G6 is not good in drop tests and hence one should go for a S8. Targeting subconscious?

so basically if my phone slips I must sacrifice my body and beat it to the ground before the phone does to save it.

Each drop should be with a new phone. Of course it would sustain more damage coz it is already damaged.

OtterBox Commuter. I have dropped it off the back of a lifted truck onto concrete (while helping someone move) and it showed no damage other than a small mark on the case corner. Absolutely fantastic.

CNET, IM BEGINNING TO WONDER IF YOU ARE AGENTS FOR SAMDUNG?

Why are we satisfied with glass phones anyways? Metal phones are stronger and the weight difference isn't going to bend your wrist. Whats next glass cars?

I'm watching on my V20. Picked up a G6 yesterday. Probably will resell it for a profit. The durability of the V20 is awesome.

[sheikhsuleiman]

best and most detailed drop test. Good job

[theenlighteneds]

The video's edited to show only the drops that did the damage.. how many times did you actually drop the phone before those drops developed?

[jimewood]

Dropped my G6 from less than 18" on to a wooded floor with wooden substrate.  Shattered the front screen, back has no damage.  First without a case/cover, first with broken screen.  Repairs fairly easy, but I am fairly device savvy.

My G6 lcd crack on first fall. But lg change it with a waranty, so it is all good

[vaxokoko]

I dropped my G6 a few times and and the glass is perfectly fine.
