POCO F2 Pro, the latest flagship smartphone from the Xiaomi-backed brand was launched a few weeks ago and is available for purchase in some regions, including the United States, Europe, and Malaysia.
Now, JerryRigEverything, the popular YouTube channel which does durability tests on smartphones, has released a video about the durability test of the POCO F2 Pro and the device successfully passes the test.
First of all, let’s talk about the display. The screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5 and in the scratch test, it started showing scratch signs at level 6 and grooves from level 7. In the burn test, when the screen is burned with a lighter, the pixels go white on that portion after 30 seconds but quickly recovers after some time.
As for the material, the device is built with an aluminum frame and has a glass body, which is quite sturdy. The phone comes with a pop-up camera where the sensor is placed behind a sapphire glass, which has no effect when scratched.

However, the pop-up module for the camera enclosure is made of plastic and gets scratched easily. The pop-up mechanism has several fail-safes in place and the way it is made is impressive. After deliberately trying to break the pop-up module by thumping it on the table, it’s slider mechanism stopped working but it seems that the phone fixed and adopted it after some time.
On the back, there’s a quad-camera module placed in the top-center position which bumps out from the body. When tried to scratch the screen, there were no issues with it. As for the bend test, the phone also survived it. Although the phone makes a cracking sound, there were no issues on the screen or the body of the phone.
