Samsung phones explode on their own terms. They're not going to let something like gravity dictate when and where they burst into flames.

that just means the design wasn't air resistant such that alot of air built up below it like a cushion

the materials of the phone aren't steel or titanium and you could drop a box of steel or titanium from that high and it would get dented

Anyone know what kind of phone it is? I have a Galaxy S7 Active that is touted for its survivability, and would feel a lot better about it if that was the phone in this video.

Pretty random that some guy found it almost immediately though. He could have been hit by it! O_O

Galaxy S5. Not really all that surprising since it's all glass and plastic

Too bad he wasn't facing the same direction as when the phone landed. Could imagine a priceless reaction from the guy, seeing a phone dropped out from the sky.

this is unlikely the case. The phone is a Samsung Galaxy 5S, which isn't exactly new. Quite an outdated model in fact. Why would they want to promote a phone that's barely being sold anymore?

That's... that's not how physics work...

the materials of the phone aren't steel or titanium and you could drop a box of steel or titanium from that high and it would get dented


So because the phone wasn't made of steel or titanium it can't be dented from a fall? What?

Oh great. Bring on the 90's console fanboy arguments. "My phone can drop 1000 feet and and still survive. Can YOURS?"
