Galaxy or iPhone - Which survives a drop better?

iPhone 6S survives drops better than Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge.

iPhone 6S Plus did worst in drop test.

Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge survived being submerged in water for 30 minutes better than iPhones.

The screens on both Galaxy phones and iPhones cracked when dropped face down on pavement, but the iPhones survived being dropped on their corners with just cosmetic damage.

You can dunk Samsung's new smartphones in water, but don't drop them on a sidewalk, a new study finds.

SquareTrade, a company that offers extended-protection plans for gadgets, said the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge still functioned after being submerged in water for 30 minutes. Audio was "permanently muffled and distorted" after the dunking, but the Samsung phones still outlasted Apple's iPhones in SquareTrade's water tests.

The study also found that Samsung's new phones are more prone to breaking than the iPhone 6S, which survived 30 seconds in a tumbling test chamber, similar to a dryer without heat. The test is meant to mimic repeated drops phones often face. Both Samsung models had minor cracks on the screens and significant damage to their backs. The iPhone 6S Plus, a larger version of the 6S, did worse. Its screen completely shattered in SquareTrade's tests.
