Have you ever had your phone simply slip out of your hands and fall? And how did you feel during this
Allstate Protection Plan Conducted Several Testson the fall of smartphones from the Galaxy S21 line and discovered several interesting things. Test results showed that the durability of the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+ and Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G on the front is unchanged compared to its predecessors. When placed on the backrest, they significantly increase reliability.

Allstate also found that falling on your facedown from a distance of six feet, all three models were damaged. The Galaxy S21 had a cracked screen. The display on the Galaxy S21+ was cracked and faulty. The largest of the three screens — this is the 6.8-inch AMOLED panel found on the top-end Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G model. After one fall, the display suffered the most damage of the three models and could no longer be used.
During the tests on the Galaxy S21, onlyminor cosmetic damage due to the use of polycarbonate on the back instead of glass. Even after being dropped twice, the Galaxy S21 survived. Both the Galaxy S21 + and Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G have shattered back panels after one fall. There was good news, however. The metal body of the rear camera "Contour Cut" on all three blocks withstood the fall, and the cameras remained intact.
Last December, Allstate wantedrid smartphone owners of the usual fake news. So the insurance company released several interesting and true facts. For example, 140 million Americans have damaged a smartphone at some point in their lives. In 45% of cases, the most common form of damage to smartphones was damaged screens, in second place — battery failure (19%), and in the third — damage to corners and sides (13%).
64% said they would rather buy a new phonehow to repair a damaged model. Most people think that walking around with a phone with a cracked screen — it is unprofessional (49%) and inconvenient (47%). Continuing to use a damaged phone may result in serious injury. 30% of Allstate survey respondents cut their fingers on a broken display.
Interestingly, 80% of smartphone userskeep your device in a case. Despite the protection that some cases offer, 21% dropped and damaged their phone even when placed in the case. And only 12% of Americans sell their old phones. So you get data showing that 68% of Americans have at least one old phone in their home.
Our survey found that many Americansunderestimate the frequency of damage to smartphones and the cost of repairs. Many people choose to use damaged devices rather than seek repair opportunities, suffering from embarrassment and even injury to their fingers. We encourage consumers to buy covers and screen protectors, and also think about protection plans that can help reduce repair costs. Considering how much we use our phones every day, it's worth it.
