Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Undergoes Extreme Freeze Test Along With iPhone 15 Pro Max and Pixel 8 Pro

Samsung stepped up its game with the build quality of the Galaxy S24 Ultra. It has recently gone through an extreme scratch test, which the phone passed with flying colors. The phone even did well in a drop test. All of this suggests that the device should pass the test of time without major blemishes if used with proper care.

Now it’s time for an extreme freeze test. But for the sake of comparison, it’s not just the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra that went through this extreme test. Instead, the latest flagship is pitted against the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max and the Google Pixel 8 Pro.

How Did the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Do in the Extreme Freeze Test?

As you can see from the video attached below, all three flagships have gone through an initial checking phase. This phase involves testing that the speakers, cameras, and charging ports of the phones are working correctly. After this check, the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the Pixel 8 Pro, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max were submerged in a box filled with water.

This water-filled box with the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and the other flagships sat in the fridge for six hours. When the box came out, the three phones were sitting inside an ice slab, which was kept sitting for thawing.

After the phones were free from the slab, the secondary test phase took place. In this, the cameras, charging ports, and the speakers are once again tested. They all passed without showcasing any noticeable issues. However, initially, there was a fog buildup on the Pixel 8 Pro and the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

But the fog did eventually subside, and the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and Pixel 8 Pro looked brand new again. While this test does showcase that the flagships can handle extreme temperatures, you need to note that the depth of the water was minimal.

Things can take a turn if the phone is kept for freezing in depths over 1.5 meters. That’s where the hydrostatic pressure becomes extreme.
