this particular video is sponsored by LastPass huge thanks to them for making it possible to visit a phone I might not have got to test otherwise switching phones can be a pain that's one of the reasons I've stuck with my own Galaxy s8 plus as a daily driver for so long now one app that can make switching phones easier is LastPass already used by millions of people LastPass has the ability to generate long secure and encrypted passwords so you don't have to remember yourself it stores all of your passwords for you so don't need to write them down or use that same unsecure password for everything it's worth a shot if you spend any amount of time on the internet whether on your computer or your cell phone the app itself is free but if you want some extra perks like a gig of encrypted storage it's only two bucks a month I'll leave a link for you down in the video description huge thanks to LastPass for sponsoring this video no let's jump into the durability test let's get started it's time to test the xiaomi note 5 pro show me has not always done well on my channel in the past demi v had a pretty rough day during my durability test let's hope this note 5 pro released this year fares better because this blue is beautiful seriously though this blue is one of the coolest colors that i've seen on a smartphone in a while it would be a shame if someone accidentally scratched it let's start with the screen my systemic durability test always included my most pics to see what the screen is made from plastic would scratch at level 3 which we've seen on some other budget phones this show me note 5 with its oddly measured 5.9 9 inch screen has advertised Gorilla Glass so we should start seeing scratches at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7 pretty standard so far especially for 2018 normal Keys coins and razor blades won't scratch the front glass show me is advertising a 20 megapixel selfie camera on this thing with something unique a front-facing flash the far circle on the right is actually an LED which is nifty the earpiece is made from a hard metal mesh and is very securely adhered to the phone not bad so far for a budget phone the volume rocker is made from metal along with the super-small tower button the bottom section of the phone however is made from plastic and even though it does include our favorite headphone jack it's located next to a very much outdated microUSB slot this phone was released in 2018 where it's beyond time to move on to USB C ports while the bottom might be plastic besides are definitely made from metal along with the SD card tray which can conveniently hold two SIM cards or ass MNS d-- card combo the only thing that would make me more impressed is if this phone could change the channels on my TV but wait it can built into this budget from from Xiaomi is an IR blaster that allows you to control speakers TVs projectors and DVD players all with that little black remote control LED on the top androids can do some pretty cool things this budget note 5 Pro does have dual cameras on the back but no telephoto or wide-angle lens which basically means that the second camera is more of a glorified decoration than anything else the plastic flash is separate from the protective glass over the cameras probably to keep the reflections of the flash to a minimum these slightly recessed fingerprint scanner is scratch Abul my razor blade does its normal damage it's interesting to note that a lot of fingerprint scanners can survive this exact same abuse and still function like normal but this time around with the xiaomi note 5 pro it won't acknowledge my finger and keep saying that the sensor is dirty so the fingerprint scanner does fail this time around of course this is a bit more abused than a WellCare ford phone would normally sustain during a 2 or 3 year lifespan but that's the point of this video my phone gets tested so you don't have to find out the hard way with your own phone plus I draw one fantastic-looking Bluebird the endcaps of this phone it might be plastic but the center section is definitely metal this 5.9 9 inch screen is an IPS LCD display so we should see the pixels go black and turn off but hopefully recover and switch back on again the no.5 pro lasts at about nine seconds before recovering completely let's see if this note 5 pro is structurally durable or if Tweety gets his head popped off the first Bend had me nervous for our buddy Tweety there is a very visible and very permanent kink in between the power and volume buttons bending from the opposite direction yields a lock out but no catastrophic damage there are permanent gaps between the frame and the glass and the screen is unclasp along the middle but everything is still alive and functioning this beautifully colored Lake Blue Note 5 pro with it's pretty darn durable bird on the back has survived my durability test pretty impressive and it gets a thumbs-up for me if you enjoy blue birds
