iQOO 3 used as a brake pad for BMW 530Li in the ultimate durability test

Ro, 09 April 2020

vivo's sub-brand, iQOO launched the new iQOO 3 5G a little over a month ago and it arrived in our office last week for a review. But until that's complete here's fun video that shows one of the most unusual durability tests we've seen.

iQOO 3 used as a brake pad for BMW 530Li - the ultimate durability test

Quote, "I'm pretty sure an iPhone 11 Pro will survive with far less damage when used as a brake pad." Your confidence in the iNotch is unwarranted yet humorous. Its predecessors have had numerous hardware fails, not least the BendGate controvers...
