Manufacturers now employ toughened materials like Gorilla Glass, aluminum, and even ceramic to withstand drops and scratches. Yet, despite these advances, modern smartphones are far from unbreakable. — Image by freepik
As smartphones have transformed from simple communication devices to essential tools for navigation, entertainment, productivity, and much more, so too have their vulnerabilities –and the consequences of damage have become more severe. Now central to how we work, connect, and play, a broken smartphone can significantly disrupt daily life.
For more than 12 years, Allstate Protection Plans has conducted its well-known Breakability Test, in which robots drop, bend, dunk, and fold the latest smartphones to assess their durability. These tests have uncovered evolving risks, providing valuable insights into each generation's unique vulnerabilities.
