Surely this is a top-of-the-line flagship? A blogger tested the durability of the latest Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
Recently announced smartphones of Samsung Galaxy S25 series now many technobloggers have various tests, including physical strength. One of such tests was passed by the top variant of the line - Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Well-known youtuber JerryRigEverything, who specialises in disassembling smartphones and stress tests, tested the S25 Ultra for strength and revealed interesting details about the metal rings of the main cameras and other aspects of the phone.
Here's What We Know
Although the rings appear to be a sturdy part of the camera assembly, the blogger revealed that they can be detached quite easily with a knife blade. The rings, he said, are attached "like false eyelashes," indicating Samsung is using an adhesive-based attachment method. While they probably won't fall off under normal use, it's surprising that Samsung took this adhesive-based approach given the status of the flagship device.
Aside from that, the test revealed a few other interesting points. For instance, the Samsung logo on the back of the device was noticeably displaced, which could indicate a manufacturing defect. It was also found that the Galaxy S25 Ultra's screen, despite using the improved Gorilla Glass Armor 2 glass, starts scratching at level 6 on the Mohs hardness scale, while the previous S24 Ultra model showed damage at level 7.
The S Pen also lacks Bluetooth functionality, despite having a battery compartment, which is needed for the Bluetooth transmitter. However, this compartment appeared to be empty. At the end of the video, the Galaxy S25 Ultra underwent a bend test, which was successful, indicating that the flagship's body is pretty sturdy.
