The OnePlus Nord cracks during bend test

27 July 2020
The plastic frame is, as expected, not as robust as the metal one.

        Was yours a zenfone 6? Clearly not. Quality inconsistencies happen in everything. You just assume asus has a bad one just by considering your experiences. The same could be said for oneplus with a lot of its users. Dont tell me you believe jerryrig intentionally used more force on this phone? Soemthing with a similar build that broke on his channel easily was the redmi note 7 pro. It had the same flimsy plastic frame, although a bit more fragile. But it was a lot cheaper too.

            What's really annoying me is those f***ing indian spammers, flooding into JRE Twitter acc. asking/begging free phones from him.

                If someone had decided to break the phone at any cost, no phone in the world will survive through that torcher.

                These videos are bullshit. A small boy can tell that for cost cutting, company will use plastic instead of metal.
                After knowing these things, still we bend the phone. This is stupidity.

                                Mediatek sux, 28 Jul 2020Jerryrig did the same test on zenfone 6. Check it out.LOL, this will be one of the real life case vs benchmark spat... I'm sorry, test like this may provide a rough guideline, but it does not equal to 'it is so'. Not to mention Jerryrig so called 'lab test' or whatever you want to call it, isn't near anyway professional enough to be taken seriously. The body size ratio cause the difference point to apply pressure, not to mention, the force being applied can't even be replicated to be the same at all test.... What the point? He may as well has the same batch of phone and do a test next week and may achieve a different result, not to mention the small market of Asus phone is likely to have a highly inconsistent manufacturing quality. I have two Asus phones, they have their pro and cons... And I have to say, with my experience, built quality ain't one of them.

                                  Amukku dumukku, 28 Jul 2020This phone was frickin overhyped. Zack hit them where it hurt. Well i dont think so.
