iPhone 5 Destroys Galaxy S III in Household Test Face-Off [VIDEO]

After humiliating the Galaxy S III in a drop test, Apple's iPhone 5 yet again reigns supreme over Samsung's flagship phone in another face-off.

A video produced by extended-warranty service provider SquareTrade tests the rival smartphones' mettle in an especially dangerous environment: your own home.

First is the requisite drop test in which the iPhone 5 emerges unscathed. The Galaxy S III, on the other hand, is not so fortunate, with a shattered screen.

Next, the phones are submerged under water (while playing Psy's "Gangnam Style" music video, natch). The water causes the iPhone's touchscreen to stop working momentarily, but it continues to play. The Galaxy, however, zonks out completely.

The third and final test has the SquareTrade team dropping household appliances such as remote controls and sardine cans onto both phones. A blow by a beer bottle puts the Galaxy over the edge, while the iPhone doesn't appear to have any scratches.
