are smartphones getting weaker?

Held up remarkably well in the smash tests thanks to its tough plastic build.

Body lived up to its indestructible reputation, though the display was its weak point.

A properly durable phone with almost no front damage, though the back still cracked a little.

Slimmer design left it far less resistant, and bending alone rendered it useless.

Better than the S2, but the reverse hammer hit left it useless and stuck in a boot loop.

Did badly from the bend test onwards, with the screen mostly gone.

Looked fine outside, but a knock to the side caused internal damage and the display died.

The most fragile phone tested; glass front and back cracked and the reverse hammer hit finished it.

Average durability, good in the hammer test but hurt by the reverse hammer hit.

Curved front and back made it very vulnerable, and every test left a mark.

Thicker glass made it a big step up in durability, especially in the bend test.
