hey what's up guys david here from foam bluff and in this video we'll be doing what it looks like and doing a durability test on the HTC one we actually have a couple of tests we'll be doing one is the key test which is probably the most practical most realistic out of this whole test we're also gonna be doing a knife scratch and stab test to see how tough the screen and also the actual body of the phone is and the final ring of doing a hammer drop or mallet drop test to see how much resistance the screen could take and also maybe we'll slam it on the back a couple of times to see you know how it fares so with that said let's go ahead and begin with the easiest test out of the three released what seems to be the easiest test and that's the key scratch test to see you know what's going to happen to the screen so we'll actually turn off the display and I'll show you the display right now no scratches or anything like that couple of finger prints you might be able to see but for the most part it's pretty much perfect condition so let's go ahead and actually wipe this off really quick and start scratch test so got a key right here I'm going to be doing these rough edges right here scratching it all across the screen so and I'm going to be applying quite a bit of pressure because I know the screen has Gorilla Glass and gragas is really really good at resisting scratches like this in fact they're actually built to resist scratches like key so I expect it to pass this test and uh looking at it you can see no doubt man we have to wipe it off usually I have to wipe it off nothing here this is Gorilla Glass 2 I will try on the back though this is what I'm actually more interested about because knowing that the screen has Gorilla Glass I expected that you know but on the back I want to see how this full metal body actually handles scratches because yeah the phone's beautiful but you know will it be able to survive or you not get damaged without a case so I don't know if you guys could see that but there is a whole bunch of little scratch marks on the back we're going to go ahead and try to wipe it off so get this microfiber cloth and they do wipe off seems like some residue there let's see if I could rub it off my finger yeah so I guess my finger has the magic touch because all of it went away so first scratch test you know what the key I'd say it's a pass you know the screen pass with flying colors obviously the screen still works we didn't put any kind of real pressure on here to make it crack or anything like that so scratch test for the key is a pass let's go ahead and bring out this humongous kitchen knife so again we'll try the screen and what we're going to do here actually is also test these fine edges over here on the east see when these fine finished edges because it's similar to what it was on the iPhone 5 member when I did the iPhone 5 test it did actually sustain a quite a few scratches here so first we'll do the screen so and I am applying pressure I'm not you know scared to put pressure on it I actually have a lot of trust and Grill does have test a grill glass quite a bit at my time and all right so that should be enough punishment for now and again I I don't really see anything I mean I don't see anything in person and on camera nothing is obviously showing we'll go ahead and try to clean this off see if that does anything and yeah I mean it looks beautiful 100% perfect so we'll go ahead and test the back so this is again the one that I'm much more interested in let's do a little bit of stabbing actually what we'll do stab me up after so again you can see there is scratches on the back and uh you know I be pretty bummed out if I saw this on my phone go ahead and try to wipe it off and the microfiber cloth doesn't seem to do a job it seems like actually lick my finger a little to get some moisture and rub it off of my finger end now these scratches are definitely a lot deeper actually and it doesn't seem like it's actually coming off so try to really rub them off here now actually there some of these they're really light and they're I think you can see that with that angle they're really the light scratches but they're not coming off um I'll go ahead and try to rub it off a little bit more and yeah I mean you you definitely could see them not from a distance obviously I can't seem fear but when I look up close with my eye I can actually see them so uh I think yeah there you go so you can see it right there those scratches are not coming off so definitely something to keep in mind you know like I said it's a beautiful phone but if you drop it and get some scratches in here it might not come off light scratches like with keys shouldn't be an issue so I throw it in your pocket or purse with some keys probably won't be an issue but like I said you could see the scratches and I'll try to wipe it off later more I mean it doesn't look like it's actually going to wipe off it looks like they're pretty permanent as far as that knife test goes obviously you're not gonna slash your phone with a knife hopefully so uh not that big of an issue but definitely something to consider so now let's go to maybe the most exciting test which is the mallet smashing time so we'll go ahead and take this guy and start smashing the screen to see you know if you could take you know moderate pressure obviously like I said if you drop this thing on the floor face down from like five feet up it's gonna crack I mean any glass is going to crack so we want to see what it does with this thing so all right so you could hear how loud that was because obviously I was applying a bunch of bunch of pressure but screen still working let's go ahead and clean it off see if that left any kind of residue but now the screen looks perfect so so far from the test that we've done only real damage is again these light light scratches so actually I forgot I actually skipped the side scratch so I want to scratch these little fine edges over here so oh yeah yeah you can definitely see that try to get a better angle so you can see those scratches there and those things are not coming off so it's just like the iPhone I mean it looks really really nice but it is prone to scratching this part at least so go to the glass screen actually really good when it comes to scratch resistance obviously is not scratch proof and it will actually end up scratching these more usually elements that are harder than the screen itself like sand or something like that I might do a test of that in the future if you guys want but for just regular scratches if you drop it on the on on the floor the screen is gonna be good the back might get scratched up it's pretty resistant but if you get it a kitchen knife like this then yeah and it apply as much pressure as I did you'll get some light light scratches and then like I said on these edges you're bound to see some scribe actually while trying to see is how vulnerable it is by doing the key so the key you know shouldn't be that bad all right so you can see the markings on on this part but I think that wipes off yes so it wipes off and I don't really see anything actually no I do yep even with the key you can see scratches here on the edges so you know it's a beautiful phone I would love to hold it or use it without a case but maybe a case is worth investing in because it can get scratched up especially along these edges because it scratches pretty easily the back is pretty distressed resistant in the front the glass it's pretty good but anyways that's pretty much it for me in this video if you found it helpful or if you liked it please give it a thumbs up and I might be doing a discretion destruction video our more videos like this on the HTC one if you guys want to see them let me know down in the comments but anyway thank you for watching
