Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra titanium frame and screen upgrades appear to give no benefit in drop test

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra from the back with S Pen mostly withdrawn.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra may be more susceptible to breaking when dropped than the older Galaxy S23 Ultra and could be harder to return if it develops a fault.

In a breakability test performed by the insurance company, Allstate Protection Plans all three Samsung Galaxy S24 models were dropped front-facing from a height of 6 feet onto a pavement (or sidewalk, if you're American). As you can expect this resulted in shattered screens and loose glass in all models. The test was repeated on the back with all three shattering, again rendering all the phones unusable.
