Just like many of its super-premium forerunners, including last year’s S21 Ultra, this 6.8-inch beast is essentially built like a tank. Well, at least as close to a tank as you can realistically get while sticking to a conventionally stylish design with a fairly thin profile of well under 10mm and a weight of a little over 200 grams.
Fortunately, the matte black-coated S22 Ultra cannot be easily bent, let alone folded or snapped in two like a twig using sheer human force. That obviously bodes well for the phone’s overall structural integrity and even long-term durability, but unfortunately, no test can guarantee your hot new device will survive repeated abuse.
In other words, it’s probably a good idea to protect your $1,200+ “investment” as best you can, and that goes for all types of abuse, including drops, scratches, and… fire.
