Nexus 6p Spontaneous Glass Cracking?! Lets test this...
2015-11-13
so there have been rumors at the back
glass of the Huawei Nexus 6p have been
spontaneously cracking there were at
least five people in the Reta thread who
complained about it which is enough to
get some attention luckily I have two
Nexus 6p sitting around and the back
camera glass panel is still intact
so let's find out if extreme temperature
fluctuations can cause the cracking I'm
going to toss the black 6p in a freezer
for about an hour and let it chill out
the silver one is going to be heated up
to about 200 degrees Fahrenheit and then
abruptly cooled down with ice cubes this
would be similar to leaving your phone
on the dashboard of your car for a few
hours during the summer and then
dropping it in your snow cone the
infrared thermometer I'm using will help
us keep track of the temperature of the
glass you can see that it went all the
way to 200 degrees Fahrenheit then drop
down to room temperature in less than a
minute that is a hundred and thirty
degree very rapid temperature
fluctuation and the glass still survives
let's see if burning the frozen black
phone will accomplish anything looks
like it's nice and chilled let's roast
it my heat gun brought the phone from
freezing to about 230 degrees Fahrenheit
within the space of about 30 seconds
that is a 200 degree temperature
difference in just half a minute so why
didn't the glass crack it apparently
isn't an issue with temperature my
theory is that when something gets
manufactured not every piece is exactly
the same the manufacturer gets to
dictate what degree of Tolerance they
will accept for their quality control
apparently a few back glass pieces that
were slightly on the larger side of the
tolerance level escaped onto in
production devices it is probably a very
small percentage of glass pieces that
slip through quality inspection but
hopefully Google will take care of the
customers that it does happen to thanks
ton for watching

my phones are bent in half hope see room
