What's the sturdiest smartphone on the market today? Among the most popular flagships, it appears to be the HTC One M8 (http://mashable.com/2014/03/25/htc-one-m8-review/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss), which survived drops that proved catastrophic to its contemporaries, the Samsung Galaxy S5 (http://mashable.com/category/samsung-galaxy-s5/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) and iPhone 5S (http://mashable.com/category/iphone-5s/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss).
The gang at TechSmartt (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYgg6RMB6g4) did a thorough test, dropping all three phones from waist height, head height and even over-the-head height to see who would survive. First to die was the iPhone 5S. Apple's phones did very well in previous drop tests (probably aided by the relatively small screen), but it landed on its face in this one, *****ing the screen from only head height.
