OnePlus 5T is still very fresh out of the factory and expectedly, fans would be eager to know more about the performance of the smartphone in real life us. Well, this isn’t a test of how you would ever use the OP5T phone but it is one important test. Talking about the durability test by popular YouTuber JerryRigEverything.Oneplus 5T

The durability test takes the OP 5T through the scratch test and then the burn and bed test. It starts off with the screen scratch test and the smartphone doesn’t disappoint in that aspect. The Gorilla Glass 5 protection is just adequate to wade any scratch despite the increased pressure. The front camera also has a glass 5 over it and so keys and coins won’t scratch the screen easily in your pocket. OnePlus opted for a metal build for the earpiece grille and it is more durable than the nylon-covered earpiece.
Unfortunately, the back casing of the device isn’t scratch resistance. It is made of anodized aluminium alloy which can easily be scraped with a razor. The fingerprint sensor, on the other hand, is made of ceramic and so is entirely scratch resistant. The bend test also shows the device has a durable build. But where the device really didn’t perform well is in the burn test. The6-inch FHD+ AMOLED display failed to recover from the burn mark made by putting it under a lighter fire. But then, it took a whole of 20 seconds to get that mark on. Who would subject such a beauty to such crude treatment under normal usage?

Nokia‘s longstanding reputation lies in the durability of its smartphone over the years, a feature which endeared the tech brand to many phone users. The return of the Nokia brand under HMD Global meant HMD had a herculean task trying to convince fans that it could retain the rugged and durable feature Nokia is known for while transitioning to sleek Android phone designs. The Nokia 6 was the first product released by HMD and the mid-range phone was pretty impressive. Nokia recently released its flagship Nokia 8 which it touts to be its most powerful Android smartphone so far.Nokia 8

You might want to think that tag is because the Nokia 9 packs the powerful Snapdragon 835 chipset and other sturdy specs but that may not be the only aspects the Nokia 8 is powerful as we can gather from this durability test video created by JerryRigEverything. The video shows the Nokia 8 being subjected to burn, bend and scratch tests to determine how it would fare, compared to other flagships. The Nokia 8 uses a 6000 series aluminium. It also packs an LCD IPS display with Gorilla Glass 5 protection on top of the display.  The Gorilla Glass 5 does a good job of protecting the display from scratch to a reasonable extent which shows that stuff like coins or keys won’t leak a mark on the screen. But it is still advisable to use a screen protector. The aluminium back also withstood normal scratch levels but caves in when strong pressure was applied.

The Nokia 8 was also subjected to a burn test and it holds out pretty well, with the LCD display ink which gathered as a result of the heat clearing up in about 10 seconds. The bend test also showed a solid build despite using a 6000 series aluminium which Apple purportedly abandoned because their iPhones bend easily. Zack Jerry’s verdict is that the Nokia 8 is a solidly built and durable smartphone. You can check out the YouTube video above.
