    Cringe every single time I see him destroy a new phone. I know the testing serves a purpose but I hate seeing it.

      Does it really serve a purpose, though? The results are almost equal on all devices - except for the extreme bend test, which no user would ever face in a real life scenario anyways.

      Here, I’ll come up with the results for smartphone X:

      “Smartphone X feels sturdy in the hand. The screen scratches at a level 6, with deeper grooves at level 7. The earphone grill can be scratched but not removed. The metal side frames can get scratched by a razor blade. The fingerprint sensor scratches but remains functional, and the camera lens isn’t sapphire but resists the razor blade. The screen burns after about 8 seconds exposed to a lighter. And now for the bend test, the phone flexes but doesn’t completely fail unless it’s a foldable”

      Done, now replace X with your favorite upcoming smartphone.

        Hit the nail on the head!!! I couldnt agree more with this! Everytime i see youtubers destroying gadgets in the name of tests i cringe hard, even more when companies sponsor them to do it.
