Nokia Lumia 920 Hammer & Knife Scratch Test

2012-11-14
how's it going guys Davey here from foam bluff calm and in this video I'll be doing a series of torture tests on the Nokia Lumia 920 to see just how durable the phone actually is so this is the phone from the drop test that I did a few days ago as you can see there are some little scuff marks on the corners and actually what I want to show you is the left edge because on the drop test it actually looked a lot worse but it was mostly the asphalt that I dropped it on most of it wiped off so so far it's paired really really well as far as the drop test now when we take it into the next level I'll be dropping a mallet on it a knife scratching with keys and then finally we'll be using as a hammer to see if that's going to crack the screen so let's go ahead and start first thing we'll do is going to be the keys because that's probably the easiest one for it to pass so I'm gonna scratch both the front and the back to see you know how fair so first we'll do the back so I'll just pick this key I guess and I'll start scratching away so I am applying pressure you know I'm not doing it lightly by any means so I'll go over the camera lens to just kind of give you an idea so basically I mean obviously you're never gonna be actually scratching your phone with your keys hopefully but you might you know keep your phone in the same pocket as you keep your keys and you know over a bunch of days it might actually you know affect it like this so anyway it looks like it did absolutely nothing I mean I don't see not even one mark from that test let's see the camera and looks pretty good so like you can see some light scratches right here but I mean it doesn't even show up like you have to really put it at an angle and get lighting on it and then you can see those little light scratches but uh-huh really really good so far so the back seems pretty sturdy as far as when it comes to scratching a key on it so now let's do the screen itself so first we'll show you know what it looks like before didn't really take any damage from the drop test when I dropped it the other day the screen looks pretty good I mean it didn't seem to actually do anything so we'll go ahead and use a key on it directly so again applying a whole bunch of pressure and I was gonna rub the keys on it all right so let's see how it fared so um looks pretty good I can't really see any noticeable scratches I'm go ahead and wipe it off with my shirt all right so now that I cleaned it we get a better idea and again doesn't look like there's any signs of damage I mean this the keys almost seemed like it didn't even affect the screen so again really really good so as far as the key test goes it looks like the Nokia Lumia 920 passes so let's take it to the next level we got to go a little bit more extreme we're gonna be using a knife now how can they actually be slashing your phone pretty much never hopefully but this is going to give you a good idea as far as you know how it'll hold up if you were to drop it if you were to put it you know with keys and all that stuff so anyway we'll go ahead and start slashing away all right so we can see that the camera lens cover does actually take some damage but the polycarbonate material on the bag doesn't seem to be showing that much so let's see what happens so you can definitely see the scratch marks now so the knife definitely is gonna scratch it you see the lens to stick some damage well gonna try to wipe it off my shirt and see what happens all right so I wiped it off and you know what while they're still you know the scratches still show up it doesn't look as bad so basically is some of that you know residue but for the most part it looks really good you know really impressed by this again I mean yeah you're going to see the scratches but it's not going to be like noticeable so it's not going to pretty much make your phone look bad so that's pretty impressive let's go ahead and try the screen so we'll wipe off the screen we'll take a look at the screen before hand again looks perfectly fine right now and now let's put this gigantic knife onto the screens oh and I will do at an angle and we'll do a little bit of stabbing all right now that should definitely do something is this residue from the previous test and looks good to see if the screen is working and yeah it's still working so looks like it passed this test again I mean I don't really even see not even noticeable marks right now I'll go and try to wipe it off my shirt and yeah I mean I don't see anything I mean on cameras can be kind of hard to see to begin with but in person you know looking at it I don't see any like any signs of any scratches at all so really impressive all right so let's do let's choose a side because if usually the phone subtract really easily on the side so all right so I slashed away at that and that definitely did some damage so you can see made some markings all over the side and we'll go ahead and try to wipe it off see what happens all right so I try to wipe it off now this seems to be the most damage is taken so far and typically what I found with phones is the sides tend to be you know a little bit worse off when it comes to durability and that's because you know it's a thinner area and it's going to take more of the damage or more of the hit so basically you know the knife one is slashing across it really made a difference and you can see it does show definitely you know scratch marks so in that test I'd say you know it's a fail but so you know did pretty good considering but as far as the side it a you know it didn't do as good the back I mean honestly looks pretty much like it's almost like brand-new the front looks like brand-new so pretty much what you might have to worry about is the sides just like on the drop test we had to worry about the corners but everything else seemed to be fine so let's go ahead and let's take it to the next level now we're actually to be getting the mallet and dropping that trying to see if we could crack the screen so we'll go ahead and leave the screen on so first I'll just drop it so I'm going to go like about six inches above the screen or so and then first I'm going to drop it and then after if it survives I want to you know put some more pressure so let's go ahead and drop it all right so let's go a little higher school like eight inches up alright let's go ahead and see what happened touch screen seems to be working just fine all my icons rearrange somehow but touchscreen seems to be working just fine and no noticeable signs of damage so again really really good so now you know what let's put some pressure on it it's actually try to crack this thing so I'm actually you know slamming it pretty hard so and nothing happened all right so really impressive I mean I was smacking the heck out of the thing you guys probably heard the force I was doing in you know what looks really really good the screen seems to be working just fine so pretty much as if nothing happened to so that's really impressive now let's take it to the next level I'm gonna use the phone as a hammer itself so I'm actually going to get a piece of wood over here so let's bring that in and where's my nail there it is alright so it's gonna be kind of hard to set up I want to slam my finger so we'll go ahead and use this little tool right here and alright let's go ahead and use it as a hammer whoops well that didn't work hold it a little harder alright so again uses a hammer all right so we got that thing in there it's at the screen so you can see the markings that it made see if that wipes off so it does wipe off it looks good and it's wait for it does the screen work and it does and just to prove that the you know nail is in there you can see it is in there so pretty darn impressive um honestly I don't know what else to do as far as this test goes we're gonna be taking it to the next level in the very next video to see just how much punishment this phone could take before it cracks and I mean that literally so make sure you subscribe for that if you found this video helpful in the sense that showed you how durable the Nokia Lumia and Tunney actually is please give this video a thumbs up and as always thank you for watching the video
