For those unaware, the OnePlus 10 Pro and the 10T model that launched back in 2022 both failed the bend test of Zack’s bend test in the durability video. Both devices snapped in two and the new change in camera design was found to be the primary cause behind this structural issue. However, it appears that the Chinese smartphone maker managed to break this curse, with its latest premium grade handset barely surviving the test.

Looking at the video, we can see the OnePlus 11 being put through the usual scratch, burn, and bend tests that we know JerryRigEverything channel to showcase. The device expected as one would expect for all the tests except the bend one. This was the “moment of truth” part of the video as we can see the device clearly flexing to the point that its rear panel starts cracking up. However, unlike the two models that launched before it, the OnePlus 11 held onto its structural integrity.

Although there were some key points to note in the video. First of all, the scratch test on the display area right above the under screen fingerprint scanner usually doesn’t affect the functionality. But the scratches on the 11 model caused the sensor to be unable to rear Zack’s finger entirely. Notably, the OnePlus 11 showed the most sign of distress in the area right below the camera module. In other words, this region is still prone to cracks and bending related issues than other parts. Despite all this, it is still great news that the brand did not strike out on the third flagship phone in a row.
