          Give this phone to Jerry already.We only trust him.

            Did they use the same phone in the stair video as they are promoting because the (exceptionally fast) slow-mo video is blurry and doesn't truly capture the waste basket's beauty as it tumbles down the stairs.
            Also, these videos mean absolute sh!t.

                Is Xiaomi trying to be like Nokia or something? What is it with this marketing?

                  Because certifications cost thousands of dollars, and dont always magically protect you - some Galaxy and Xperia phones in the past had IP ratings, and soaked liked a sponge with first contact with water because of some batch production fault... Even if you have certified phone, your device might have little chassis imperfection which decreases sealing. Or you create the sealing imperfection by using it, little bends in the pockets, falls, or just unnoticeable battery bloat... and warranty usually dont cover water damage even in certified phones...

                  Some manufacturers just use the sealings, test it internally, and the effect might be same as with certified phone... but phones are cheaper this way.

                    This is the most innovative and pointless drop test I've ever seen. And the second video is just simple physics.

                      Wtf is this marketing?

I don't expect high IP rating from a mobile at this price point so it doesn't bother me. Though these gimmicky stunts are going overboard.

                                Redmi provides you all this for $150. Those two certifications alone would make the price bump to $200 which is useless exercise.

                                    you can simply kick the phone from first stair instead of putting it in the bin that already absorb the forces, also yes from the skates video it defines that the phone is passed the durability test but still can the screen face the direct drop from 5ft , i don't think so if yes than let's see upcoming drop tests of this phone.

                                      [deleted post]Agreed. I'm here for news, not advertisements.

                                        throw it from Burj Khalifa. If not broken then I will buy the tested piece for double the amount. i m joking ;) actually I think it will not survive.
