As proven by German scientists, corners of the Samsung Galaxy S8 are too easy to break. Scientists from test.de have built a special drum, which motion allows it to test smartphones' durability when falling. Most smartphones can take up to a hundred falls without taking more than superficial damage, but Galaxy S8's Gorilla Glass 5 display has started to crumble after barely fifty. The weak link in the phone's construction seems to be its corners.


Test.de suggests that Samsung Galaxy S8 owners invest in a phone case. They probably have the right idea - 900 bucks does not grow on trees.
