Huawei P40 Pro, the company’s one of the three flagship smartphones for the first half of 2020 underwent JerrryRigEverthing durability test recently. Like any other modern phone, it passed the test with ease.
The P40 Pro is made of glass and aluminium like most premium handsets. The glass used on this device is unknown, however, it scratches at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7 of Mohs’ hardness.
But during the burn test, the BOE OLED display used in this handset was damaged leaving a permanent mark. LCDs and most Samsung AMOLED displays do not get affected. This could one of the reasons why the South Korean tech giant ditched BOE panels for Galaxy S21.
Do note that this is just an assumption and it is not sure why the BOE display panels failed for both Samsung and Apple. In the former’s case, the panels did not even pass the first stage of testing.
As for bend test, the Huawei P40 Pro also passes it without any hiccup thought it has antenna lines in the middle of its frame. Overall, the phone performs well in Zack Nelson’s JerryRigEverything durability test.
The P40 Pro retails for €999 in Europe for the 8GB + 256GB storage variant. Thus, being a device with a premium price tag, it should last for a long time and the durability test explicitly confirms it.
