I wish I was fortunate enough to receive a $500 to $800 phone just to simply destroy it with ease.
[QUOTE=LordCrypto;49019526]basically it was a perfect storm of factors
the lighter helped melt the glue, the glass cracking meant that the structural integrity of the phone was severely compromised, along with the glue not holding the screen to the aluminum as well, meant that it was basically just bending a soda can[/QUOTE]
Yeah. Pretty much this.
Only, he made it seem more sensationalized, essentially implying that the phone was going to be like this regardless.
I mean yeah, any phone is going to go to shit after its screen is cracked from deliberate scratching, a 1,000 C flame is put up to it melting any adhesive, thus making the screen separate from the frame and the aluminum easily bendable.
I don't know whether he legitimately thinks any phone is supposed to survive a constant onslaught like that, or if he just made a sort of "perfect storm" just to make the phone appear weak just to get clickbait views. Maybe even both.
[QUOTE=darth-veger;49016060]Is there any YT'er yet who tests phones on daily use? I mean, buy a phone and walk around with it for a week of three with your average things in your pocket like keys, cards and so on.
Or when it drops from trouser height and not from a 2 story high building.
Or if it works after you spill beer/cola on it.
All these tests are looking up the extremes that don't really occur in daily life or when you are just careful with your stuff, i have always bought a coat that has a breast pocket to put my phone in, that way my iphone is still looking very fresh.[/QUOTE]
if they want that youtube fame money they have to push the video out as soon as physically possible without any effort, hence the video featuring a pre-production model
at the same time and on the other hand, the sooner they release it, the more people can know just how weak or strong a phone is, and extreme tests show exactly the limit. You're never going to boil your phone for 10 minutes, so if it can survive that you bet it's durable.
many youtubers test with rough key usage and many other tests. If digging knives into a screen doesn't nip it immediately in the slightest, your keys never will.
some people have tests that actually make sense. Simply gauging the 'physics' of a phone is a dumb test (like the guy in OP's video), actually putting it through extremes of daily lives is a good test.

I mean, hell, what better way to test a phones durability than dropping it and scuffing it only up until it /actually/ breaks completely. The more durable the better for daily use. personally, I want a phone with an extreme maximum limit, so I that absolutely know that I will have it when I need it in an extreme emergency.
