the HTC one baking in the Sun such a nice phone it's lovely out are we enjoying a nice a couple of beverages a little rest a little rest here in the midst of our long journey maybe taking some photos looking at things yeah you know the thing about these beverages though they have very wide open tops they do because they're double-double I think they're illegal in New York actually oh yeah so we've got them filled with energy drink from our super long road trip here we are exhausted yeah and then you know I mean here you are in the middle of a torture test really anything can happen anything could happen anything likes a big foam but that's a big opening right they're just very slippery it is three two one I'm just waited until Jeff get it it's still on still on okay it's a dripping dripping all right we're drying we're darling it smells like orange and look it's on it's still hot for some reason it's playing a video it's playing a video let's see if we can get it to power up oh no nothing happening oh I can see like I can see the water seeping in the water oh he's still wet look at this little drip coming out oh poor little thing I can't get it to turn on Mikey I don't know if it was me or of its own volition but it is now shutdown poor HTC why all right we're rolling down the street we got the HTC one we got the open window unfortunately sometimes you try to lean out the window you try to take some pictures with it when the window is open and this happens three two one little frisbee toss I wasn't what I was hoping for I well I should have give it a twist should give it a twist good we definitely have some scratching and denting it looks a little bit like buckshot on the back here what if we can get old Jeff to hit his mark try it again say goodbye going out the window like dramatic reveal no scream crackage our SIM card slot popped out a little bit you got a nice big dent right here where you chucked it right on the corner but this thing is looking remarkably intact that is one tough phone I'm gonna call the drop test and passed and we're gonna find out if it could take the heat but kind of like a lot of heat nothing says road-test like a barbecue and nothing says barbecue like safety goggles and safety mask once we're going safety gear because here's the theory we think with the metal back the HTC One would get very hot if you left it in the car on a sunny day or you left it outside for a long time we rode on the top row safety first safety first everyone all right you see what I'm told that lithium-ion can become combustible at about 200 and about 300 degrees we'll see if HTC C stands for heat test compliant like maybe like a minute or two how are we putting the lid down or leaving it up no I don't think we need to put the lid down you think I don't know all right it's been like a good two to three minutes I think if we're gonna get grill marks on the phone yeah I love what you're like keep it pulled off there man I'm starting to freak out one that's gonna give me a little nervous all right I'm gonna get it off of it all right we're just gonna like basically put it on the ground there's no marks yes it does seem kind of wimpy now that you mention it let's put it here why not they put us put it here come on trust me yeah put sideways careful you're close to the top there oh there we go don't drop it on my foot I bets please and not oh we got a good we got some girl back now 15 degrees what that's so like a boy look at it it's not really not seeing much damage at all no I mean I'm sure the electronics inside aren't very happy right now probably not so what we're gonna do is take this back dry it out see if it can come back on yes a couple of days but I have to say so far I'm really pretty impressed with how oh look here though oh is it warping I'm in a way a little bit it's warping a little bit I think because it was already cracked there yeah that's the drug test I would frankly I would have expected more like an explosion I'm as I'm surprised I'm surprised the screen is all right all right good job HTC One we'll check out your holiday she's been about a week since our RV road trip and the HTC one has been drying out at Rice that whole time because I wanted it to get the best possible chance at survival dude still has some barbecue marks on it I've got this genius little power brick here I'm sorry to report that we have warped the plastic around the actual mini micro USB port I have to do a little surgery before I could plug it in I got it I made it work power it's on look at this thing the fact that this thing went through all that it went through and it is on I would say that's a keeper
