what's up YouTube I had a couple suggest that I attend my Nexus 6p Bend video a second time there seems to be some question on whether the lighter compromised the structural integrity of the phone before it snapped in half so if there is only fair if we did the test over again everyone needs an expensive hobby right so it's really easy to jump on YouTube and pretend to make a bin test video or your phone survives having an honest comprehensive durability testing system is a bit harder to find just like cars have safety ratings phones should be tested for durability and that's where I come in I'm equally prejudiced against all devices it either survives my tests or it doesn't I've done tests on all of the recent flagships so far and most phone survives only two phones so far have not so let's jump in and do the Nexus 6p again as a side note if you're having problems seeing any of the logos on the phones go ahead and bump up your video quality to 1080p or you know maybe it's time to just upgrade your monitor so there are three fatal structural flaws in the Nexus 6p down here at the bottom of the phone there is an aluminum mid frame inside the phone that is supposed to add virginity to the device and it does kinda the flaw is that the aluminum frame is not actually screwed in or attached without housing of the 6p they are completely free-floating separate entities so the aluminum frame is just chilling down there inside of the device the only thing holding the aluminum mid frame to the rear of the phone is a super thin piece of glass on top of the device right here at the bottom and a few plastic dovetail joints inside and even though it is Gorilla Glass 4 the glass is not designed to structurally adhere aluminum chunks together luckily you guys will be able to see the plastic dovetail joints I'm talking about in just a few seconds the second design flaw in combination with the first is the thinness of the sidewalls on a 6p rear aluminum back if the aluminum back and mid frame were solidly screwed together the thinness wouldn't be an issue but since the mid frame freely floats right out of the rear frame when it's bending the sidewalls of the rear frame becomes super worthless all by their lonesome the third flaw and the absolute weakest point of the phone is right here by the power button the battery stops here and the motherboard stops here there is such a small bit of aluminum holding this together it's insane this allows for the purpose kinking point in the middle of the phone now before I start I want to reiterate that if you treat your phone nice you'll have zero problems with it bending especially if you have it in a case but remember the smart phone is the most accidently abused piece of equipment on the planet you sit on it accidentally drop it step on it it's important to know how a durable it is before you buy it cars have a safety rating for a reason it's good to know what to expect before you buy it nobody plans on wrecking their car but it's good to know it's safe if you do now let's find out what we can expect from the Nexus 6p let me show you those small dovetail joints I was talking to you about before you can see right here this is the free-floating aluminum back that I was talking about luckily I have another phone here with the same issue weird of that works huh so you wanna know where I learned about dovetail joints my high school beginners woodworking class must have been brainstorming amateur hour at Huawei when they suggested joining aluminum and plastic with the woodworking joint down here at the bottom of the phone you can see here are the tiny little plastic dovetails that are supposed to keep this phone in tact remember that any positive thing anyone has ever said about this phone is probably still true just because it has one fatally significant Hardware flawed doesn't make it a terrible phone just treat it nicer than you normally would there are phones have been in half and there are phones that don't fit that the Nexus 6p is just one of the phones that end in half my buddy max Lee is a Channel high on Android and he did a rather interesting bin test video if you haven't seen it yet definitely go check out his channel he put 90 pounds of pressure right on top of this Nexus 6p it was super lucky that his bin test rig sat right on top of this dovetail joint and kept it pinched together during the test otherwise he would have lost his phone as well lucky guy not as lucky as me though I have now the proud owner of two Nexus 6p s durability test videos like this one aren't a waste of time they're what sparked changes in the cell phone industry if nobody caught flaws improvements would never be made I bet Google never uses this plastic dovetail joint again here's the other flaw was talking about right here next to the power button is the weakest piece of aluminum holding this phone together the motherboards on this chunk of the device the batteries on this chunk of the device and the aluminum in the middle is the perfect bending point between the two here's another look at those dovetail joints that are supposed to be connecting with this back plastic piece to the aluminum mid frame and here's the front glass that is also supposed to be helping to hold the whole phone together thanks ton for watching like any typical youtuber would be great if you subscribe to my youtube channel it also makes me feel all special and stuff if you followed my Instagram thanks ton for watching let me show you a little small dovetail joints I was talking to you about before
