all right today we're going to be durability testing the lumia 950xl one of the newest phones from Microsoft like always let's jump into the scratch test I can take my hardness pics and find out where the phone falls on Mohs scale of hardness the lumia 950xl is rockin Gorilla Glass 4 like most other flagship smartphones these days so it's no surprise when my pics don't leave a mark until level 6 and then a deeper groove on a level 7 you won't have to worry about car keys or coins scratching the screen at all testing the camera lenses next having a durable camera lens is important to photographers and videographers like myself luckily this lens is just as hard as the front screen so you won't have to worry about keys or coins scratching the back camera glass either now the back cover the phone is made of plastic it is totally removable and replaceable which is nice my keys do leave a bit of a mark and when the razor blade comes out well plastic does with plastic does and it scratches a bit it looks like the windows logo is inlaid into the plastic layer similar to how the older nexus sixes used to be hopefully there aren't any issues with these bits popping out with use later on on to the burn test now this is where things get interesting I've done tests on more than 10 flagship devices now and each time the phone will react within a couple seconds to the lighter flame whether the pixels will go black and turn off only to come back on unaffected like the iPhone 6s and the BlackBerry Prive other phones will turn white and never come back on like the Nexus 6p or the oneplus X but this phone has no impact I left the lighter in the same spot for over a minute with no reaction from the screen very impressive when compared to all of the other smart phones hit that thumbs up button for the most impressive burn screen yet now onto the bin test I'll be 100% honest when I unbox this thing I thought for sure was going to be a casualty I was all ready to stick it on my shelf next to the bent HTC m9 and my twin Nexus 6p s but surprisingly enough this thing survived it has an overall inexpensive or cheap feel to it but it can stand up to the pressure it flexes more than any other phone though if you look inside the device you can see the removable super rigid battery I imagine that this is the main component giving the phone at strength similar to the LG g4 well there's not near enough carnage this video so let's jump inside the device and tear down that water cooling copper bit and see what's inside now this has intrigued me more than any other aspect of the phone liquid cooling in a smartphone so theoretically the box looking component at the bottom is the evaporator where the liquid heats up and moves up the condenser pipe to cool down then moves back to the evaporator again to repeat the process effectively cooling down the device and his processor so in microsoft lumia 950xl announcement video they clearly state that the phone has liquid cooling and the 950xl which uses the octa-core we use the latest Qualcomm technology and we push that technology to every limit possible we push it by using tablet class liquid cooling but in the Microsoft Store they don't list it as one of the specifications of the phone it's just not there you would think they would want to brag about it if it was a real thing so I decided to see if it was indeed a real thing turns out there isn't any liquid inside don't get me wrong having a huge copper heatsink is great for this phone but it's definitely not liquid cooling don't trust everything you read on the internet kids here on Microsoft support page they have answered my same question with this the heat pipe design that is based off of a traditional liquid cooling system it seems like a semi evasive answer to the question either way there is clearly no liquid inside the device I'd love to hear your thoughts on the subject let me know down in the comments what you think thanks dumb for watching hit that subscribe button hope see you around
