Samsung Some has introduced a new design to its Galaxy S series with the new Galaxy S8 and S8+ featuring Infinity displays and a glass back that, while impressive, make the devices quite fragile. drop tests have shown that the Galaxy S8 can break very easily.
Essentially, the chances of the Galaxy S8 and S8+ Infinity Display breaking depend on how carefully users handle their devices. It should be noted that despite the Gorilla Glass 5 coating on Samsung's latest flagships, the devices can still be easily broken.
According to the test results, despite the latest Gorilla Glass coating, the flagship seems to be unable to withstand drops of water and falls. "The Galaxy S8 is the first phone we tested that has cracked on the first drop from all sides. This is mainly because it is covered with glass on the back and front," the report says.
However, the Gorilla Glass 5 coating does a pretty good job of protecting against scratches.
The good news is that the Infinity Display can be replaced very easily and without spending a lot of money. The amount you will have to pay to replace the screen is around $200, which is $50 to $100 less than the price of replacing the Galaxy S7 screen.
For your information, the price of replacing the iPhone 7 screen is around $300.
The selling price of the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ will start at $750. Therefore, the price of screen replacement is quite affordable compared to the selling price of the new flagships.
