When it comes to buying a mobile device, there is one aspect that stands out above the rest: the durability that the smartphone can offer. In this way, whenever a mobile phone hits the market, many users want to know how resistant it can be. And, although there are specific tests that focus on some devices (see, for example, the durability test of the iPhone 16 Pro Max), an analysis has wanted to delve into what is the most resistant smartphone you can buy this year. And, before getting into the matter, we assure you that there is more than one surprise.
In essence, durability is not only related to the physical resistance of the phone, as in recent years we must also consider aspects such as the ability to receive software and security updates. That is why companies like Samsung ensure their presence on the list, as the company confirmed its intention to offer devices with a longevity of up to seven years. And, despite this promise, it has only served to obtain the third place, since devices from Apple and Honor have taken the lead.
Oppo and Xiaomi close the top 5 spots
When it comes to durability, no brand is up to Apple’s level. Thus, the parents of the iPhone stand out in durability and reliability, but have lost points for aspects such as repairability. Therefore, it scored 146 points and took first place ahead of Honor, a brand that won the silver medal thanks to devices like the Magic6 Pro or the Magic V3. After them comes Samsung, the South Korean company that has seen losing points in durability, reliability, and repairability has cost them dearly, but still puts them ahead of Oppo (4th) and Xiaomi (5th).
After them, the five spots that close the top 10 hide a few surprises. Motorola, a classic that had its best years decades ago, ranks sixth just ahead of Google, who takes seventh place, and Doro, the unknown brand that ranks eighth in the ranking. Lastly, the eternal Nokia ranks ninth and, to the surprise of many, the one to close the top 10 is Logicom, a company that has managed to leave out powerful options like Huawei. So, if you want to buy a phone that can withstand drops and has the possibility of extending its life through updates, there is no better option than Apple, Honor, and Samsung.
