Drop test time! Galaxy Note 2 – will it break or will it bounce?

We drop tested one unfortunate Galaxy Note 2 and captured everything on video for you to watch in morbid fascination. The Galaxy S3 didn’t fare too well, so could the larger and heavier Note 2 do any better? Can Samsung beat Apple when it comes to device ruggedness?

If there is such a thing as smartphone karma, Darcy is in big trouble. The ghosts of all those innocent smartphones he sent to their demise will come back and haunt him. And while he claims he doesn’t take any pleasure in doing torture tests, this video proves that is not always the case.

After dropping the Galaxy S3 and the iPhone 5 repeatedly a couple of weeks back, now it’s time for the brand new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 to face Darcy’s wrath.

That’s right, we drop tested one unfortunate Galaxy Note 2 and captured everything on video for you to watch in morbid fascination. The Galaxy S3 didn’t fare too well, so could the larger and heavier Note 2 do any better? More importantly, can Samsung beat Apple when it comes to device ruggedness?

We won’t spoil the fun for you folks. We’ll just tell you that a case is always a good idea. Watch the first Samsung Galaxy Note 2 drop test on the web and let us know what you think.

We also have a nice hands-on gallery after the video, so make sure to check it out. Enjoy!
