Omg that made my laugh (no offense, just to hilarious )
The other night I was texting someone and my friend turned round very quickly and accidentally knocked it out of my hand. It landed on the steel table base, then onto the concrete floor...the battery cover popped off and the battery went walkies, but the screen was completely undamaged and the cover wasn't broken.
I've not dropped it myself, in near a month of ownership thats the first time it's hit the deck.
Only dropped mine once and that was from standing on to........... carpet As you might imagine no harm was done. I dread dropping it on concrete though :S
Mine fell out of my jacket pocket getting out of a train on my way back home on New Years Eve. Thankfully the phone was in it's leather case and it survived without a scratch.
Dropped once on high street using Google maps for directions - Survived unscathed
However sat on my parents couch when over for Sunday dinner and now I have permanent black pressure marks on the middle of the screen Not so bad when the screen is lit up, but now film are unwatchable on it !!!!!
Anyone know how much a replacement screen is? Or if HTC would be kind enough to cover it under warranty?

can you post the pic of the phone ? Hope htc covers minor defect of this premium device. in warranty!!!
had mine hit the sidewalk pretty hard, battery came out, but no damage afterward. second hit from 5ft high on a stone tile floor with a metal bar hitting it afterward: screen is ok but little scratch on battery cover finish... a third drop from my pocket in a crowded club, again with no damage at all... im not using a case or cover, so i could say its either pretty solid, or im very lucky

WTF!!! apple employee! lol. dropped mine about 4-5 times now not a scratch on it. never on the pavement. (touch wood)
Use at least the original leather case
I've dropped my love twice. Once when I was capturing photos outside in december - it fell down to snow without leather case, and nothing happened, I just cleaned it up and swaddled it like baby Second time it fell off my jeans' pocket in a gym, about 50-60cm with leather case, and nothing happened. So I can give you just general advice - keep your Lion in leather case while you don't use it
Mine got smashed out of my hand by a friend of mine who didn't agree with the uber-blinding flashlight of my beloved device..
Landed from 6.3ft high on the stone floor. Not a single scratch.
Amazing it survived so much torture ... from CNET torture test video.

Impressive!
I have to say after watching this I can't believe the people who say the phone fell out their pocket and the screen cracked, seems really strong according to this.
Only thing that was impressive was the drop test, I mean the last one was a really nasty drop :/

Well it depends, my S1 dropped no more than a foot out of my shirt pocket onto gravel and the screen cracked,I thimk it must have been bacause it was a point impact i.e a bit of grave as it shattered around a 1cm area but then had 2 diagonal cracks right across. Got it back yesterday as good as new from the repairers,but it gave me an excuse to buy an S3 :
Gotta admit she totally tortured it compared to the ipad.. Well done S3
My name is Optimus Prime and I send this message..
Iphone
I want them to torture test iphone
i have dropped my phone 3 or 4 times from waist height nothing happened, even it flew in the air from my bed to floor, yet safe . i think the quality is not consistent across.
edit:
in the drop test vide the phone went in the air vertically and came down in the same vertical direction to the ground, if it was horizontal then the results would have been different , lol

My old iphone 3G was a tough little unit, dropped onto concrete from waist height, scraped the back a bit but survived fine. Also dropped onto gravel from waist height again, slight mark on screen but that was all.
So far I haven't dropped the S3 yet, but today it slid off my lap and smacked into my car door then went under the seat while taking a corner hard . Thought it was going to be a bit scraped but survived fine.

Maybe your floor ir made of pillows lol
she has to test the drop test on the road
looks good
I really don't care about extreme heat or cold test, nor water test.. but that drop test... too bad she didn't show how the body of the phone hold up. Is the grey ring around the phone strong enough to resist scratches and impacts too?
Long story short, I watched the Android Authority videos, the CNET torture test...
But I had to be at Walgreens before 6... and I couldn't find my case...
I am 6'2 pushing 6'3... I dropped my One without a case on it... it flew all over the place... then ended on its face...
There are only minor scratches on the aluminum and one tiny dent... there isn't a single (even microscopic) scratch on the face...
Had I dropped my S3, it would have shattered...
I'm not saying to drop your One... but should you drop it, it will fare better than any phone out there. HTC balanced the phone to the point that unless it is purposely dropped on its face, it will not break...
Keep a case on it... but imagine the horror when I dropped it from my EAR today... a 6' plus fall and just minor dents?
I guess I can put up with the signal issues... Because any other phone would have been dangerous to use because of the shattered glass.
Anyone else have an "I dropped my One and it survived" story?
Didnt the top and bottom speakers fell out? Saw some videos that 2 parts are quite flimsy

I can top that.
I've dropped my One at least three times I can think of.
Once, when on a ladder using 'smart tools' to level my flat-screen TV on the wall, a drop of about 7' in total, bouncing off the ladder step, onto the (natural stone) hearth of my fireplace, and another 1' to the floor.
Once, when hiking in a nearby State Park, the phone bounced out of the holster (must have gotten some shirt tucked into the latch) and onto rocks/rubble/roots, coming to rest screen-down on some pebbles.
Once, while in bed, I 'bobbled' it out of my hand, it bounced off the mattress and onto the hardwood floor.
In all of these drops, thankfully I had both a Seidio 'Surface' case and an SPG/Spigen GLAS.tR screen protector. No discernible damage that I can detect, no scuffs or dings. Speakers are fine, and the camera works as it should - in other words, the optical image stabilization is working fine.
There can be no compensation for the three heart attacks I've suffered, but that's another story.
I was visiting Japan in April this year and had literally only received my One days before as it was delivered the day before I was to go on holiday through EE.
I was visiting a shrine in the Kyoto and walking up a steep hill capturing some video. Just finished recording the video but hands were sweaty and was turning the phone around to put it back in my pocket when it slipped face down and slid down an incline. I'm about 6"1 and my hands were in the air recording the video above my head.
The top of the silver mesh by the front facing camera came slightly away from the plastic and dented the metal and it dented beneath in two places and even took a chunk out of the side of the screen but the screen itself didn't even suffer a a scratch. Of course I was devastated I'd ruined such a beautiful phone but I was shocked by its build quality being so good.
I dropped a One X I had a couple weeks prior and it fell on the bottom edge horizontally causing no damage to the phone at all but completely shattering the screen. On the back of this I was expecting the same or worse from the One but I was totally surprised.
Best phone I've ever owned. Period. It's right to be acclaimed as the best smartphone you can buy right now.
I had one of the worst scares of my life when I dropped my one the first day that I received it.
I was using the stupid plastic bag that cames with the one to protect it from scratches lol. But when I was going to bed it was dark and I holded the one with the plastic bag face down and the one quickly slipped out of the bag
I almost cried when I saw that it didnt had a single scratch probably fell something like 3.5 feet. I was even tempted to ask for a return as I was having very bad battery life and the phone didnt have a single scratch or dent :' )
Yes!
Both times getting out of the truck at the end of the lane to fetch mail. I had it sitting in the arm rest in the door and it fell to the driveway which is coarse tar and chip (crusher run).
Fortunately it was in a Speck Candyshell Grip both times. The first time the case didn't even show a mark! The second time put a few marks on the case. The phone is mint. Both times the phone's final resting place was screen down. Dropping a smart phone is like dropping a cat or a buttered piece of toast. You can wager full retail price replacement on which way it lands!
If you have a carpet on the floor nothing will happen to your phone
But if it fall on cement or asphalt it will break at least the screen
I've been wrestling and phone flew into traffic, no cars hit it, but did bend the lower left corner, crazy ex girlfriend through it through a wall also, landed in living room unscathed .... Both times no cases.

luck was on your side because I seen a dude drop his htc one inside of tmobile on the carpet and the screen, its a hit or miss with phones falling on the floor just consider yourself bless and get a strong case
i dropped my HTC One and Camera lost its Focus. camera costs 20-40$ ebay BUTTT there is no company in my country who can dissamble my phone.
HTC One is great but it is too risky to have one!
Conclusion - Put it in the biggest and thickest Case ever and even after that DON'T DROP IT
it is jewelry not phone i will not buy anything like this anymore.
Hail Plastic!
Die Aluminum!
good for you
Unfortunately not everyone is as lucky as OP.
my one is fine thank god but my missus dropped her phone between the cushions on the corner of the couch, result, it hit the base board underneath and dented the side of the phone and the screen now has a single crack right across the screen. Not a great advertisement for a phones durability if it cant survive a six inch drop.
The phone is still perfectly usable and the crack isnt too bad, not too noticeable head on but if viewed from an angle its very visable.
I use it with an UAG case and i drop it almost every day haha not a single flaw, its still new.

like i said mine is still perfect, i just use a cheapy silicone cover and screen protector.
Like a lot of people I'm suddenly debating an edge but I'm worried about losing a rim of aluminum or plastic around the screen. I don't do cases and do drop my phone on concrete around twice a year but have never broken anything, am I right in guessing that edge screens lose a lot of durability without a case?
Dropped mine twice, both times onto my Kitchen floor (stone). Not even a scratch, much to my surprise.
Haven't found a case I like yet, and I'm insured, but will eventually get a flip cover I think.
drop it in the toliet 2 times on wooden floor, looks the same as before when i buy it.
That's sweet to hear, thanks!
Dropped my on kitchen floor yesterday thankfully not a mark on it !!
I've had mine for over 2 months, and it's in mint condition. You learn early on that the thing is a bit of a tank, but still manages to be well-manufactured with a premium feel. I've had a few drops thag were hard to look at, but a spray-adhesive screen protector and a flimsy TPU case bought online have protected the phone from any cracks or scratches.
i watched a drop test on youtube of this phone a while back vs an iphone, and although ymmv compared to the video, it did seem like the S6 was pretty tough, it took dropping the phone from around 10feet high before the glass smashed on back or front! I was very impressed.
I want to also highlight how I've gone without a case for the few months I've had this phone, and there isn't one scratch to be seen! Yes it is a fingerprint magnet, but I seriously thought that the back of the phone would look awful pretty quickly, but it's just pristine!
Dropped mine again in the kitchen again no damage thankfully.

Without a good case; this thing is so painful to hands, i mean sharp rear lines. After a long surfing on the hand, it is giving cramp. [emoji51]
And sending an another post. Why?
Because I can..
Yes I dropped mine onto a beer can on the floor which still had some beer in it, this made sure the can did not move. The result of the 3ft fall? the pixels at the impact point are completely knackered, so will need to claim on the insurance when it comes to selling it for the Note 6, as I imagine the phone is probably a write off as it is the screen as well as the glass. Not sure I think much of this Gorilla Glass!
I owned the xperia z and z3 and never managed to crack these once. On the three occasions I dropped my s6e+ it resulted in damage. Why buy an expensive beautiful glass phone to put it in a plastic case?
yep yesterday camera len broken. looks like a right pain to do and looks like camera its self looks damaged too.

I take that with a grain of salt. I've seen so many drop test videos of so many devices. It all depends on where it lands. One g5 may have lasted 3 or 4 drops whereas other g5 will crack on the first one. If any phone lands on the glass first it will break. Of it landed on the bottom it would be different.

go and watch the first drop, it actually dropped on the bottom corner, which is not connected to the glass, yet it broke the screen

It was because it hit the top during the fall (probably the second contact with the ground) that it broke. You can see the nick on the top that started the crack. This is not new news. Pick any popular phone and search drop tests. You will find some that ever break and some the break right away. It happens. Yes, there is a chance it will break every time but we need more drop tests videos to prove it. But phones will break when dropped... It will happen. If you don't have insurance, case or screen protector and drop it you will have some problems.
The V10 does a good job with drops and of course the new driod turbo but most other phones will break easy.
Gorilla glass may help with scratches but it is still glass, glass will break when under force. Personally why I've never been a big fan or curved glass, I feel the glass is under stress and it provides a bigger surface of bubbled glass that will probably make contact with the ground sometime during the fall. In this case it was enough to crack. The second drop shattered more since the integrity of the screen was already broken. There is a chance if the impact hit the bottom that the glass would not have broken further.
Just my 2 cents from experience and many many glass videos and drop tests
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
I think the corner is the worst place to drop. All kinetic energy from the drop is focused into the tiniest area Erich the disperses through the phone whereas landing on front of back or even sides absorbs the shock over a larger surface area.
FWIW, I did drop mine yesterday (day 2) from about 5ft onto tile. Hitting the corner first. Corner is scuffed but OK besides that.
Every drop is different though. Drop tests are so so unscientific.

I completely agree. It depends about height, angle, speed, material of the floor (a carpet, cement, tile is all very different from each other).
I am going to have a case regardless, but still... The last phone I actually had that could withstand many drops was my old Blackberry 8300, 8800, 9700, etc. Those were built like bricks (tons of plastic, very little glass if any at all).
Any and all glass will crack. Maybe if the surface were completely flat and the floor was completely clean that fall wouldn't shatter the screen, but if there is a grain of sand on the floor or a spiky piece of cement or ground, all the force would be focused there!

When I first got this phone I was pumped about what was under the hood and I was glad to be free of the woes of touchwiz. But the more stuff has surfaced about the scrappy build quality around this phone makes me think a flagship is not in my hand.
Found this.
Jerry speaks about how the glass is thinner than on Samsung, etc.
I don't know if this is accurate, but it may explain why the drop broke the glass, although different drops can have different results.

Nope mine fell 5" out of pocket landed on back and the screen shattered lime no tomorrow...g5 worst durability i have seen.
I have dropped this phone more in the past three weeks then all my phones ever combined. Its almost like I am trying to break it lol. The only damage to my g5 after at least eight drops one flying down my aggregate driveway is a couple chips in the paint and a small scratch, screen is still perfect. Guess I am lucky lol
Drop tests are pointless...drop your phone without protection and something breaks...period. My coworker broke (shattered screen)his Galaxy S7 (without case) dropping it out of his pocket. It doesn't matter what phone you buy, just don't plan on dropping it and buy protection.

Mine dropped a few feet and was fine, i kind of paniced as i was waiting to switch it out (and thought that extra damage might have stopped it being exchanged?) luckily it was fine.
Lol every time i see a video of people showing drop test and overall durability for some reason my pocket hurts LIKE HELL!!! lol. Come on people, you have to actually be....( Let me try to be as respecful as possible), you have to be an idiot to buy a phone (any phone) and not buy a cover before you actually use it. Sometimes i think people like to spend thousands and thousands of dollar buying smartphone just because they dont want to buy a cheap but good cover ($20-$60). Do you expect your phone to be terminator ot something? Lol. Everything manmade can be broken. And as some previous comments said, glass is glass, and the glass used in phones under no circumstances can be bullet proof lol. (there was a video a saw about an S7 been dropped from 100 fts up by using a drone, and guess what, IT WAS ALL SHATTERED AND IT DIDNT TURN ON AT ALL, what a surprise!!! (sarcasm) ). Soooooo, i motivate you to buy a good cover since day one just like i do. I dont currently own the G5 but when college let me safe a couple of bucks i will buy the cover before the LG G5 lol. And if you are able to pay $500-$900 for a phone, then you certainly are able to buy a good cover.
