today we'll be durability testing the W knocks off' or is it the ax on em with so many phones these days I'm starting to get confused this is the most recent dual screen Android phone released from ZTE which unfortunately is an exclusive to the AT&T network so not many people will get the chance to check this out today we'll be reviewing the axon M dual screen smartphone together my way let's get started the axon M folds open like a book revealing to 5.2 inch displays it can mirror extend or just rock that normal dual display showing split-screen apps on either side right now I have the camera and the calendar open at the same time I'll fold it shut to turn off the back screen and go back to normal mode you can also try an extended display whatever movie you are watching jumps across the divide and shows one half of the flick on either side of the screen this is great for people who think center pixels are overrated those Center bezels take out a decent sized chunk of the movie real estate flipping the phone sideways though will allow you to get the full screen effect while being able to read and participate in the comments at the same time that part is pretty cool let's start the scratch test resistance of both screens I have a set of most pics that tell me what the screen is made from plastic scratches at level three tempered glass at a six and diamonds would be a level ten you might be thinking that this is the first dual screen Android phone but actually back in 2011 Kyocera released its echo with dual 3.5 inch displays it's cool to see a more modern version now in the axon lineup both screens have scratched at a level 6 with a deeper groove at a level 7 which makes sense for this Gorilla Glass 5 on both sides so I'll make my way up to the top of the phone and we find a dual tone flash that's made from plastic and one camera lens that's embedded underneath the Gorilla Glass 5 it's a 20 megapixel camera and it's the only one that exists on this phone but with a screen on both sides it's easy to switch back and forth the earpiece is flush with the front glass and also make the plastic up here the top of the phone we have some metal and a headphone jack this Android phone made room for two huge screens and a jack some companies can't even fit a jack in a phone with one screen there's always room for Jack besides the phone are full of our favorite sound a solid metal frame along with the metal camera button fingerprint scanner metal volume rocker and the metal SIM and expandable memory SD card tray it really does make you wonder what cool things Apple could do with their money if they ever decided to innovate checking to see if the scratch fingerprint scanner still works I registered my finger and tried it out a few times it went well and still functioned but normally I scratched things a little bit more the second time around the fingerprint scanner only functioned about half the time but it would seriously be hard to cause this level of damage on accident at the bottom of the phone we have dual speaker slots another thing the iPhone I have and a USB C port all surrounded by that metal frame now most of the acts on them is metal but the surround of the secondary screen is plastic I'll dig more into this in a second but first check out the canvas size on the back of the W Knox if there was a survey done of sixteen thousand people that found 72% of those people check their smartphones at least once an hour it's impressive how addicting smartphones can be a separate survey found seventy-five percent of people admitted texting and driving interesting to see how closely those numbers match up and that's why I do this hourglass maybe we don't always need to check our phones every hour I mean you already know none of those dm's you just slid into you're gonna get a response so you might as well just wait calling the battery door panel is metal and the rest of the back surface is plastic this little extrusion here fits comfortably into its counterpart on the other side of the foam keeping both sides extremely solid there's no wiggling around when the phone is shut but as you know we'll be testing this more in a second it's time for the burn test this phone has dual 5.2 inch IPS LCD s and it lasted about eight seconds before the pixels turned black they did recover completely after the heat was removed which is always kind of fun to watch just remember don't do this to your own phone some screens don't recover and now the bin test the bin test shows a lot about what kind of abuse the phones can handle during its lifespan in an ideal world phones would never get damaged but accidents happen luckily both halves of this phone are totally solid no flexing or shifting between the layers so even sitting on this phone in your back pocket the hinge will remain intact with the way those grooves are situated in the back panel of the phone supported by that super long full-length hinge everything is solid at least while the phone is closed now if I were to open the phone up and intentionally snap it at the weakest point then yes it would be catastrophic but in the normal used closed position this phone is a winner when it comes to build quality I think we'll gain more from a functioning teardown video then we would by taking a cheap shot at that open hinge hit that subscribe button if you haven't already and we'll review this tech from the inside would you ever buy a dual screen phone what would you want to change to make it more useful thanks a ton for watching and I'll see you around
