Do not drop the samsung s8

[anon(10244250)]

Worst phone ever made in terms of durability, the iphone 4

It was so pretty though!

Unless they have a job to pay for it themselves my kids will never have a top end premium phone unless it's my 2 year old hand me down.

Mostly agree. But since both of my daughters are National Honor Society members, with GPAs in excess of 4.0 (from getting honors class credits in math, physics, chemistry and Spanish) I count that as nearly as good as paying for it themselves. It's a perk for performance.

I understand your frustration and anger towards what happened, but honestly, that's what happens when you drop glass. There is no glass in this world that doesn't break when it falls, one way or another. Mayne I'm used to having a glass phone because I've had the S7 Edge for a little over a year before I upgraded to the S8+, but I have always been very careful with my phone and where I place it when not in use. You cannot get mad at the manufacturer since everybody and their mother complained about the plastic cheap feel of their previous flagship phones and they decided to take that input and make it better. You can't go around having your phone caseless and not expect the risk of dropping. It's just what happens. I really am sorry it happened. I would have been devastated, but it would have been my fault for breaking the phone, not Samsung.

Seen those come out of phone cases with broken glass backs, owner didn't know it was broken because the case was always on. Lol

Well great bragging, I could do the same, so I will. In addition to what your kids have, mine also learn to pay for their toys, cars, gas, insurance, what a job is, and you have to work for what you want.

Did I mention that mine are doing all this from the moon-base they built?

I can't believe the entitlement kids have these days...

There is no reason for kids to have this phone.

Mine don't, they can't afford it

This thread needs a title change.

"Do not drop your phone."

Every phone can break if dropped. Some more easily than others. But consider it's a $700-800 device. Take care of it. They're is absolutely no expectation that any phone should be able to withstand a drop unless it is actually designed to do so.

I'd also recommend not dropping newborn children.

Well sometimes newborn children fall out of your hands when putting then into your pocket. Things happen...

it has gorilla glass 5 yes but being curved compromises it and makes it more vulnerable to falls i've seen videos of people dropping it without too much damage but ofc it's an all glass phone it's not made to be dropped lmao. Also i should add gorilla glass is not shatter proof nor scratch proof they're more resistant compared to oh idk something like an iphone screen, but ultimately any all glass phone is more prone to breaking specially with curves.

No one suggested it was intentional. Carelessness is called carelessness for a reason.

There's nothing in the OP that suggests this was due to carelessness.

Dropping a phone strongly suggests carelessness.

Or an accident.

Or an accident.

How are those mutually exclusive?

 

[amyf27]

It was so pretty though!

[Looking for magnifying glass] wasn't that a tiny little thing?

 

[dlalonde]

Do you work for an insurance company? You should look into it, your boss would love you!

Crap happens... doesn't necessarily involve recklessness.

No one spoke of recklessness. Carelessness is less severe than recklessness. I've never dropped a phone unless I was being careless. Have you? If so, how? Talking about the details of specific accidents is something we can usefully learn from.

As an owner of an s8+, I actually kind of have no pity for you. I don't mean to be a **** but they made several reviews of what would happen if it were dropped onto its back. These were made weeks before the phone's actual launch.

The phone with tax (CAD) is $1250 (for the plus), and the back is made out of the same gorilla glass as the ****ty older always broken models, this was not a surprising result.

That being said, ouch dude.

I can't feel remorse. If my provider didn't have a case, I wouldn't use it until I got one or I would go elsewhere.
It's not Samsung's fault. I wouldn't use my 600 to 800 device without spending 40 for a case to protect it before I used it. Just my opinion.
