Samsung say GG5 is "strong", but I guess it much weak than said..

Not sure and their customer service is off for the day. Phone dropped at a very short distance and the screen cracked.
Maybe not that strong but perhaps not that weak also. It also depends in angle of drop and which immediate area of the glass being hit.
For Note7 can't comment, so far didn't drop the phone yet, but from S7E performance (GG4) which in S7E thread people also complaints a lot about the screen is weak or easy to break / crack, so far I have a good experiences.
2 units of S7E in house.
1 used by my dad which protected by dual layer obliq case and armorsuit fell down more than 5 times (perhaps I had lost count) from waist height table (I'm 1.75m tall) on house tile surface. No issue. (the obliq case kinda slippery)
And my own S7E with thin carved case and armorsuit drop few times from myvbed which around my knee height. So far no issue.
Anyway, as normal human beings (me included), we tend to feedback accident stuff/bad stuff when we are having issue and just quiet when nothing happened. Thus that's lead usually we found more damage screen cases on net (people also feedback as reminder or precaution to other users) rather than survived case.
Nevertheless it will be good IF Samsung (at least in Malaysia) can provide free 1x screen replacement for 1 or 2 years for their flagship phone like other manufacturers. It will boost their sales further.
Motherboard kinda failure should be entitle 1-1 replacement in 1st year of use. Customers will appreciate this.
