Drop Test Comparison: iPad 2 vs Motorola Xoom vs Samsung Galaxy [Video]

Posted June 7, 2011 at 2:55pm by
SquareTrade has posted a drop test comparison between the iPad 2, Motorola Xoom, and Samsung Galaxy tablets.

RESULTS:
● iPad 2: Suffers brutal screen damage.
● Motorola Xoom: Falls flat and hard since it's heavier. Suffers brutal damage in line with the iPad 2
● Samsung Galaxy: Survives drop with minimal screen damage. Smaller, lighter, and less surface area.


SquareTrade also posted a iPad 2 + SmartCover drop test late last month.

Take a look at the video below...

What is with this obsession for drop tests, I don't want to know if my iPad fares better than a Xoom when dropped! I will mostly be making sure I don't drop it What a waste
