One of the perks of finally having one of the phones of the Galaxy S10 is that the phone can be tested against real life scenarios and to really have an idea, is it worth the almost 1000 bucks majority will be coughing up for? Thankfully, we don’t need to do it on our private S10s, we have YOUTUBE for that.
There had been claims earlier of how would a glass display protractor be able to protect the phone whilst causing no interference in the ultra-sonic in-display fingerprint sensor and with displays being the obvious sensitive part of the device it would surely be a cause of concern when you’d be watching the video below. JerryRigEverything is a YouTube channel which has tons of videos on smartphones and other devices being put to the ultimate test. And so he did with the S10. Here are the results:

- Most of the surfaces, including the one covering the display, are made of Gorilla Glass 6. This scratches against materials with a Mohs mineral hardness level of 6. A light drag of the keys shouldn’t hurt, but don’t go cramming your phone pocket.
- The frame is made out of malleable, but “good enough” aluminium.
- The Dynamic AMOLED display survives the touch of a lighter’s flame for 15 seconds. The pixels turn off, then turn back on with no problem. However, the oleophobic coating does evaporate.
- The ultrasonic fingerprint sensor is able work accurately through scratches on the display cover glass, but will not take any deep gashes or cracks kindly. Biometric data distortion gets real.
- In an attempt to bend the phone in half, there was no kinking, no creaking, no movement at all.

As you can see, the display holds up to a lot of torture, but still, the fingerprint sensor is in a vulnerable location and since this technology is still in its earlier phases, it is something to worry about.
