In an important indicator of the quality photos and videos he lost, but only a few hundreds points. Also, the display Samsung Galaxy Note 9 has the disadvantage that the reading process can be complicated a small mirror effect due to the curved screen.
The new iPhone actually failed the test (drum test). The iPhone XS after 50 drops broke the camera and stopped working screen, and iPhone XS Max after 50 drops on the screen appeared a white and green stripes, scratched the body, and after 100 drops in one of the samples crashed the housing.
