Drop tests on devices it's been a custom for quite some timeSome see it as something extremely useless, thinking that it is an absurd way to break the terminal, others instead like to see that it is capable of holding the phone, what is clear is that they are usually seen by many users.
This time from TechRax they show us on video, the "drop test" or crash test of the new Google device made by Motorola, the Nexus 6.
Whenever you see a "drop test" in a video, you have to be clear that when you drop a device a factor that becomes relevant is luck, because there are times when your device falls from a great height and nothing happens to it, instead it can fall from a very small height and break as if it had fallen from a sixth floor.
In the video we can see how they throw it on edge first, and then throw it head-on, in the first fall the Nexus 6 suffers only a few scratches at the point of the edge that hits the ground, which means that it has support since the screen does not suffer damage in this first fall.
The same does not happen in the second one, where it is dropped from the front causing the screen to break, even disabling the power button, the user emphasizes that it is quite rare that the phone does not turn on because with the iPhone and with others, even if the screen was broken it continued to work.
As I said before these tests are quite subjective, we also have to take into account that the larger and thinner the terminal, the more likely it is to break in the event of a fall, what is always clear from these videos is that it is best to take care of the device and try not to fall for you.
