This is a bit different from conventional drop test videos on YouTube because a proper drop test machine is being used to replicate the scenarios. In the first test the Galaxy Note 5 is dropped on its back from a height of one meter on tile, the handset's glass back cracks on the first drop but they're not on the top layer so users aren't at risk of cutting their finger. A face first drop on tile from the same height cracks the front glass without inflicting any damage to the display itself.
In the next test the Galaxy Note 5 is dropped on its back from a height of one meter on concrete, the back glass gets completely shattered and even the rear camera's glass gets cracked. First first drop on concrete shatters the front glass even more with visible damage to the display. Sure, the Galaxy Note 5 isn't the sturdiest of devices available on the market but it's strong enough to withstand bumps and bruises that one could reasonably expect with long term day-to-day use.
