Galaxy SII Drop Test

So Squaretrade (I think?) did a drop test with the iPhone 4s vs Galaxy SII (not our version but they are similar in build I would assume). Be warned, it hurts to see our phone fall but it fared VERY well compared to the iPhone 4s.
http://allthingsd.com/20111017/samsungs-galaxy-sii-beats-the-iphone-4s-at-least-when-you-drop-them/

In your face Apple...........of course not very scientific. But I don't like Apple products anyways.

You know that your vaping signature banner is setting off google chrome warnings? It doesn't want to let anyone access the page because apparently that site is known for distributing malware.

I did my own drop test yesterday. 2 ft right onto the upper left corner.
No issues other than a scuff mark!
Where the hell is my case I ordered?

i saw this vid a couple days ago. The test with the ipad, zoom, galaxy Tab was pretty cool too. These things are way too fragile.
I am happy to see that Samsung products had the best results. Take that iphoney

Thats cool the screen stood up to the test. The bezel can't pass my pocket test, there's already some substantial dings on mine and I baby my stuff. Way more prone to stuff like this than the Sensation was. Definitely get a case if you're questioning it........

I like to think of it this way: IPhones are more for young children, old people and those who are not technically inclined (and have no interest in being so)... Or for people who don't care about being able to customize or tweak it much on the software level, they just want it "to work".

That was painful to watch, even as much as I hate iPhones >.<
Iphones remind me of those brightly colored toy laptops from Toys R Us. Kids see mommy & daddy with their laptops & they want one too, but they can't quite handle a real computer so they just get a toy that makes them feel important

Why does everyone feel they need to compare to apple. It keeps proving they make better products and we are all chasing to be like them. Don't give apple the credit.

Just to be on the record, I saw this as more of an interest in seeing what happens when our phone drops to the ground. I honestly don't care much about what happens to an iPhone, as I don't own one. I know other posters are bashing apple which is fine with me (I could care less), but I took some useful information out of this and have much less worry using this phone day to day with or without a case now with the knowledge that it can take a beating and still come out fighting strong.

Does anybody have dreams of their phone?

Last night I had a dream I was playing with my phone but it was all melted looking but still functional. I've had other dreams where im trying to talk to someone, I can hear a voice but can never understand what they're saying. Anybody have weird dreams that are phone related?

I see that you started an entire new thread to discuss the exact same subject that already had a thread on the pretense of providing a different link that you could have shared in that one. Is that what you "did" or am I missing something more subtle and clever?

One op already changed his title. Ill edit it make another discussion I wanted to start anyway.

Clearly all chips in relation must transfer all diodes in harmony.

I dream about getting laid on piles of money. If my phone jumped in there and tried to distract me....I would have to end its life.

Does stuffing them in a sock and beating Dan Hesse till he fixes data speeds count?
Los Angeles data speeds 130k down, barely measurable up? I get better speeds in Tijuana. That is putting ice sculptures in the McDonald's bathroom.

YouTube it there are actually quite a few. Although a few reports of massive failure. I wouldn't be soaking it fully into a cup though. Just using it in rain and not always being scared of moisture.

There has been a thread or two. Not really what I was aiming at. I clicked the link and saw "angry birds in the shower, at last". Really? Lol. I think people would rather have turd resistant phones if they want to play games when you should be doing your business. This is all a gimmick anyways. Too many variables and would be best performed by design by a manufacturer.

Jump to conclusions much?
Truly waterproof gadgets are one of things like incredible new types of batteries/mini fuel cells and wireless charging that have been tipped to be the next big thing for years now, yet never quite seems to take off.
I mean, nearly four years ago now Golden Shellback was doing the rounds on various tech sites and that seems to have been that - never amounted to anything.

I don't think you are spamming but I don't think I would send my phone to someone to have them do it, this is something I would rather buy a phone straight from the manufacturer with this as a feature. Kind of like the Droid Razr which is about as water resistant as I would need a phone.

Anyone know what this does to the warrenty, i have seen a few comments on twitter saying it would void it? I have also seen videos where the coating fails, iPad Today for one so not sure how reliable the coating is, certainly not waterproof as they have been promoting

They don't promote it as waterproof. It clearly saying water resistant. But in a perfect world its undetectable and it coats all the moisture stickers so warranties stay fine

i wouldnt trust that...

Personally i don't understand the concept of making your phone totally waterproof. Water resistant to spills or rain yes. Accidentally dropping the phone into a puddle but pulling it out real fast yes. I mean I dont know of any situation I will be sitting around and find myself pouring a water over my phone right after i stuck it in a glass...
This is what liquipel is good for and why I'm waiting for them to do the Nexus:

Wasn't there something at ces that will make it water proof but has to be done during manufactureing?

Too big blah blah blah.

Not that I care what others think, but is anyone else sick of hearing the same "I could never carry around something that big" reaction from people. Everytime someone I know sees my phone for the first time I feel like I immediately have to defend it by showing them how it still fits perfectly in my pockets and how other phones are too small for me. Its mostly iphone users. I bet if they spent a couple days using my phone they would probably never go back to their small "squint to read on" screen.

Yeah, but after I show them the bells and whistles, and show them how great browsing the Web is our watching a video, they usually go...Wow...that is nice! I don't have to squint to see the screen. And that is why I got it!

Its just the green eyed monster talking. Ignore it.

that's what she said lolz
Seriously, people who say that are just jealous. A genuine reaction is like... look how big it is, makes mine look small, etc.

Everyone I work with has an iphony. Once they realized how Superior my phone is over theirs they left me alone, lol.. However there is still one fool who now likes to say that I carry a "flat screen". His comment is so pathetic it speaks for itself. I constantly show YouTube and HD clips to everyone I work with now.. They secretly Love my Phone. I also let them know that I have Truly unlimited everything from T-Mobile for $77 a month. Lmao!

I show them the quadrant scores and giggle at their reaction. ^^.
I say that at least I've got a phone and a tablet. It is the best of both worlds in one device.
I love it.

My standard answer is: look isn't that cool, my screen is bigger than your whole phone, so much more viewing area.

I get this a lot too but the size just feels normal to me now, I can't really use anything smaller(that's what she said). My ex had an iPhone 4 & it felt like a toy, I couldn't even type on it. I honestly wonder how people use anything smaller than 4.3 inches anymore. Boy, this is just one big long **** joke, huh >.<

I couldnt agree with this more

I rarely get that now. When I told people I was getting it they said that. But after I shoeed them an HD video, they all wanted one. Until I told them how much it costs.

i agree with all the pluses everyone has pointed out. after i explain to people that its better than lugging around a tablet, you dont have to squint, after showing them the multitasking split screen and bells and whistles they leave impressed. the main question or comment i get is "its so big it looks silly holding it up to your ear" to which i point out that i never ever even with a smaller screened phone held it up to my ear and that i always use a good bluetooth headset, so that point is moot for me.
I have coarse beard hair and sometimes oily skin which ruined my earlier phones screens so its been bluetooth all the way. :laugh:

This phone draws a lot of attention its way and it's always been good attention. Everyone wants to see it or hold it and every single time that person wants to know where to get one and how much.

My uncle is exactly like that. He said the phone is too big for him and that he can't fit it in is girly pants. He went ahead and bought an iphone 5. Started showing it off to me saying look how small and perfect it is. He then said that the screen resolution is so clear that when he watches youtube the video looks bigger..... buwahahaha! I know, I know. Then I accidently dropped my Note 2 on top of his iphone 5 and crushed it to bits. :highfive:

I think of it as the worlds smallest tablet, not the worlds largest phone.

Phone Case Insanity

While digging around for alternative cases, I found this.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hig..._1&btsid=7388d3f7-829e-42da-82bd-481c0f1f3189
This is the absolute strangest case I've ever seen. I'll post a picture when I get it.

LOL is that a buzzards?
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk

it's snakehead. From the pictures it looks like a real snake skin that they left the head on and is plopped in the middle of the back. I'm hoping it's big enough to use as a stand. I was on the fence about ordering one, but damn, this is just bat s__t crazy.

Wtf

Well they probably ate the meat

These have been available for a good few years, if you have interest in these, do check if they are genuine snake or fake, If they are real snakes do check with customs and cites, it's illegal to import these without a permit and approval certificate from cites.
And since the shops does not have approval for these, it's unlikely you can get approval from cites.

Did you receive the case?
