Second attempt for iPhone 7 before dropping didn't show the screen!! May be it was broken before drop down.

Anything made of glass is going to break. Plain and simple. These drop tests are nothing more than a ploy to make money off of YouTube from ad revenue.

The Galaxy S8 did not fall flat on its screen. So the test needs to be redone due to author error.

Exactly. Since it didn't land face down where the impact could be softened, it landed hard on it's corner & shattered the screen inward from there.

It's true because landing on its corner makes it more resistant to the impact while the poor iPhone had to get it all on the screen.

a) it should be iPhone 7s or 8 vs Samsung 8; B) Samsung has oled screen and the new ones will have them too; iPhone screen doesn't cost 129€
