  • Allstate performed a durability test on the new Galaxy S24 series.
  • Each phone was dropped on its front and back from a height of six feet.
  • All three phones appear to have become unusable after their first drops.

Although they’ve been labeled as the smartest phones in the Galaxy line, it seems the Galaxy S24 series is not immune to dumb human error. The latest drop tests show that the newly released Samsung flagship may not be as durable as you may have hoped.

Promoting its smartphone protection plans, Allstate put the Galaxy S24 series through its paces in a new durability test. The test had each model in the series dropped on the sidewalk from a height of six feet. Each phone was dropped flat on its front and back, similar to how the insurance company tested the Galaxy S23 series last year. You can see the results in the video below.
