The flagship Samsung Galaxy S4 handset has been subjected to a variety of knife attacks in a scratch-test video that has appeared online.
The video appeared on YouTube courtesy of SamsungMobilers.co.uk blogger, Szabolcs Ignacz, who claims to have received the Samsung Galaxy S4 as part of Samsung program that releases new tech to bloggers pre-launch.
Ignacz lines up three types of knives, a metal nib pen, a set of keys and some coins to test the Samsung Galaxy S4’s Gorilla Glass 3 screen from Corning.
Marketed as “tough” and “evolved”, Corning says Gorilla Glass 3, strengthened from the inside out with Native Damage Resistance technology, is capable of offering “improved scratch resistance, reduced scratch visibility, and improved retained strength.”
Although it doesn’t look like Ignacz is applying a huge amount of pressure on the Gorilla Glass 3 screen, and many commenters have been suggesting he should have used sand or other household items too, it does prove that the Samsung Galaxy S4 can survive in a pocket jingling with keys and coins.
Check out the scratch test video below.
