You may have have seen the video of the iPhone 5 vs the Galaxy S III drop test from the guys at iFixYouri, where in order to break the iPhone 5′s display, it had to be forcefully thrown to the ground. Needless to say, it beat the Galaxy S III.
Not to be outdone, the folks over at SquareTrade decided to conduct their own tests, several in fact, all around the house, like dropping the phone in the driveway, dropping them in the pool (water test) and even dropping house hold items on top of them. In all three cases, the iPhone 5 was the victor, even surviving and continuing to play video (Gangnam Style) under water. The Galaxy S III, well, watch the video to find out.
I guess it does take a genius, or at least a guy with a beer (watch the video), to figure out which phone is more durable.
