I've had a lot of comments requesting that I do a durability test on the sony xperia z5 premium it's actually one of the only phones on the market with a 4k 5.5 inch screen as an added bonus it is also water resistant this is the top-of-the-line phone from Sony right now so let's see how it handles life like always let's start with a scratch test I have a set of pics that let me see where the screen falls on Mohs scale of hardness now Sony has not bragged anywhere about having Gorilla Glass on their phone all of the specs specifically say tempered glass so it's interesting that it scores the exact same level of hardness that a normal gorilla glass screen would score a level 6 leaves a mark on the screen but a level 7 pick leaves the deeper groove hit that thumbs up button for the sweet reflective back on this phone now let's test the camera lens this is always important to photographers and videographers especially since this phone is rocking a huge 23 megapixel camera unfortunately it looks like the lens is made out of plastic and is easily scratched even my level 3 pic can scrape it is exactly like the plastic camera lens on the blackberry Prive as you can see the lens sits pretty flush with the back panel of the phone so if you ever set your phone down it will receive almost no protection from that little circular lip around the edge now that you know those of you with this phone can avoid damage there in the future it looks like the back of the phone is scratch resistant no marks can be found underneath my razor blade it is a huge collector of fingerprints though the sony logo is actually on the underside of the glass so it is completely smooth on top the sides of the phone are made of metal but can still be scuffed up a little with razor blades and keys onto the burn test the phone is still fully operational at this point I apply a little flame to the 4k IPS LCD display that pixels reacts pretty fast by turning off and going black just like most other phones but this one is a bit different after turning black the pixels cook and turn white in the center of the burn as we've learned from other phones I've tested black pixels recover while white pixels do not and this phone has a combination of both the heat leaves the phone pretty quickly and you can see that I'm able to touch the burned area directly within seconds let's jump into the bin test the initial force of my hand snaps the side bar right next to the power button which seems to be a theme with bendable phones like the iPhone 6 HTC m9 and the Nexus 6p that power button is just a weak spot for these phones the phone is still fully functional at this point though there is no catastrophic failure like the Nexus 6p when I bend it back from the other side the side bar is next to the SIM card slot break open so yes the phone does bend not to destruction like the m9 or the 6p but it is indeed broken if they could make the phone a tad bit stronger and fix that camera lens it would probably one of my favorite phones right now thanks for watching if you've enjoyed this video and want to watch all of the other major flagship phones tested in the future make sure you're subscribed I post behind the scenes stuff most regularly on Instagram and Twitter thanks for watching
