Hey everyone this is pretty crazy. We just dropped the Galaxy S5 off a two story building and it actually survived. Sure the screen is shattered but it still works which is unbelievable. I love the M8's aluminum design to death, but there's no way it would've made it past this.

I'm going to be honest, Samsung has done a good job with the build of the Galaxy S5.

Good job too, because this is the first thing I intend to do when my S5 is delivered today.

Hopefully no one would be clumsy enough to drop an expensive piece of technology off a 2 story rise.

might be interesting, but I think we can agree, that once the glass is broken, the water resistance will be nil

This is one of the only water tests I have seen with a broken screen. Now its not exactly a regular test since it is quite extreme.
