My wife needs a new phone after dropping her nth Samsung phone for the 20th time. We really like the functionality of Samsung phones, but it seems none of them can survive being dropped repeatedly (crazy, eh?). What I’m looking for is a phone/case combo that can survive a nuclear war. Speaking of which, since my wife is female, it should not look like an armored personnel carrier and it should not weigh more than 8 oz (226g). It must have a large screen (>= 6.7"), support dual sim (one eSim, one physical is OK), and have a good camera. It does not need to be a current model, but shouldn’t be more than a few years’ old. Any suggestions or tips?
If she needs a big screen, I would go with the S23+, I have an S23 in a Mous brand magsafe compatible case with a bamboo back and have dropped my phone at least a dozen times and only cracked one Whitestone ez apply glass screen protector in the process…
DO NOT go for the ultra. Curved screens mean exposed screen that cannot be protected by a lip around the screen edge.
If she likes pop-sockets, I HIGHLY recommend their magsafe base, because you can easily just pop it off the back of the case for QI charging, or using a magsafe compatible phone mount in the car.
They make curved screen protectors too.
Yup they do, but the curve means that edge has no case lip to protect it , leaving a high stress fracture area exposed to knocks, it’s a design flaw of the waterfall edge as a concept.
Again no, the case lip is placed on the bottom and top
