Are androids improving in their physical durability?

I feel like most new versions of each device are getting harder to distinguish the improvements which each new iteration, atleast for average users. One factor that i find harder to notice is physical durability Screen, case, internal build. Are these also getting better as time goes on.

Note: Less on the longevity but resistance to external physical forces.
