Can a cellphone get internal damage from a fall?

[AC Question]

Hi all,
I got Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, with a very nice protection case, spigen crystal shell. Today it fell from two washing machines, no visible damage to the phone at all. And it didn't reboot or anything. It works just like it did before.

However it made me think if its possible anything happened to inside the phone?

Thanks

It is possible but your case will have absorbed a lot of the impact. Glad yours isn't a sad story

thanks for answer, I'll ask you one more question.

Can the phone get internally damaged and still work or possibly have some unusual problems in the future?

Mine works as normal, just wondering...

Might be a stupid question...sorry :/

No question is stupid! It's not likely you will have a future problem. If it was damaged by the impact you would notice.
My Spigen saved my Edge a few times

My phone fell couple of times from head and pocket length and nothing happened to it.
And now stack of two washing machines proved once again that the Spigen crystal shell is the best protection for this phone.
And I will probably buy the same case once this one starts to show serious signs of wear!

Thanks for your help Pugs1957 !
