My experience with the galaxy a series is they break the first time you drop them . But it’s been about 2 years maybe it got better .

I’ve been rocking a Galaxy A52 bought new up to now. Dropped it many times than I could count. No issue except for the back panel glue breaking apart. Nothing I had to break my bank fixing.

Nice . I had much worse luck . I broke 3 galaxy A phones ( can’t remember the exact names , one was the A5 ) my Galaxy S21 seems in destructible. I slipped on some ice and my phone flew 10 feet in the air and landed on pavement with no issues . Also dropped it in a bunch of cat used cat litter someone had dumped in the garbage for my apartment and had to wash it with dish soap and water . Plus my son dropped it a few times from shopping cart height.

I think a good phone case goes a long way. I’ve had to discard a case that fell apart after receiving so many impact, while the phone itself is virtually unharmed.

I’ve had the A34 for a couple of months now and everytime it’s fallen off from bed it has withstood the fall

It depends mostly on the surface material. I can comfortably drop my phone from head hight onto a wood flor, but a drop onto a tile or cocrete floor is leathal from waist height.
