    1 meter!!! I pity those that will buy this downgraded device..
    I'm not a fan of anything, but i can't wait to see how much Sammy's profit will drop.
    Looks like this is Sony's or LG's year.

            Samsung put shame on Cornings gorilla glass brand. Until the day they made glass phone as tough as cinderella slippers, im never buying these phone.

                Thats 1 of problems with a glass...that it cracks. Thinking again, thats real failure to be even curved. +if anyone relese this year a phone with just 32GB not expendable, its a *?!*. Even low ends got more, with mid-ends going 32+128GB. Its failure to the core.

                  So this Gorilla glass thingy is kind of a gimmick after all. Waiting for Gorilla Glass 87 in 2017 :D

                        I have Xperia Z, front and back made from glass... dropped it many time, saw drop test from 1m... still better...
                        So if older phones could withstand such drop... Its nothing more than Samsung fail in terms of desing.

                              In a way I'm glad to hear this as hopefully this means Samsung makes the Note 6 properly with metal and plastic if need be.

                                Drop tests always baffle me. Who is stupid or clumsy enough to drop an expensive top of the range smartphone without a case?

                                If you want a rugged smartphone, there are alternatives.

                                  People better take Mobile Care Plans if they plan to be so careful with their expensive gadgets! No one can make the phone broke-free!
