Samsung S8 is very easy to crack the screen. It will crack after falling from a height of 1.8 meters.

Last Friday, Samsung Electronics' most important high-end flagship phone of the year, the Galaxy S8, went on sale in many countries around the world. More and more consumers and evaluation agencies have also got their hands on this phone, and some of the phone's advantages and disadvantages have gradually been exposed.

According to the Associated Press, citing a mobile phone repair service provider, the S8 phone's screen is extremely easy to break.

SquareTrade, a US company that provides follow-up repair services for mobile phones, said that the two S8 phones are encapsulated in full glass and look very beautiful, but the screen can easily break no matter from which angle it falls.

The company said that in a sidewalk drop test, both the S8 and S8 Plus cracked when dropped on their side from a height of 1.8 meters, and that the screens also cracked when dropped from the back or side.

The evaluation results also show that both phones performed well in the test of falling into water. The phones will experience brief audio distortion, but it will not last long. The information shows that the S8 has a waterproof design.

Of course, the outside world is most concerned about the S8 phone's lithium battery performance, whether it is prone to overheating or explosion. However, the above company's evaluation did not include lithium batteries.

Samsung Electronics recalled 2.5 million Note 7 phones released last fall due to lithium battery failure, causing the company $5.3 billion in economic losses and damaging Samsung Electronics' image. Samsung urgently needs to use the success of S8 to clean up its image. According to reports, Samsung Electronics has conducted unprecedented rigorous testing on the lithium battery of S8 to avoid overheating, combustion and other problems.

In addition, in order to ensure that the S8 is foolproof, Samsung did not release the phone at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February, but postponed it to the end of March, and only released it in large quantities in late April.

Samsung Electronics has not yet responded to the news that the screen is easily cracked.

Previously, this phone had a problem that the screen color tended to turn red, but it did not affect the use of the phone. A few days ago, Samsung announced that it would solve this problem with a software upgrade. If it still cannot be solved, it will provide a complete replacement of the phone.

After the release of S8, it received positive reviews from many media including the Associated Press. Public opinion believed that Samsung Electronics had made a major breakthrough in the industrial design of mobile phones, greatly improving the screen-to-body ratio and appearance. Samsung announced that the pre-order volume of S8 was 30% higher than that of S7.

As more consumers and technology media get their hands on the phone, it is possible that more unfavorable news about the hardware performance of the S8 phone will be released in the future.

It should be pointed out that this fall, Apple will also launch a 10th anniversary edition of its mobile phone with an OLED curved screen. Like the S8, Apple's screen is also from Samsung Display. This means that the easy cracking problem of the S8 may also affect Apple phones.

Apple's 10th anniversary phone will be fully encapsulated in glass. Apple's design chief Ive once revealed to the media that this phone looks like a very thin piece of glass and is very beautiful. However, the outside world is very worried about whether this phone can withstand drops.
