Dropping any phone on a pile of sand at any height is unlikely to damage it too much. Terminal velocity is low and drag would slow it down, plus the sands loose structure would absorb much of the impact.
- londons_explore 6y agoI would be surprised if terminal velocity is much below 400mph...
- wcoenen 6y agoJudging from some search hits for the terminal velocity and coefficient of drag for phones, it is closer to 40 mph.
