Until he happened to him when he was making a call and shattered his front and back glass.

It's should be on top of the phone where it wont cause the bending. Same with the ports on the side that make weak points. As phones are so big and think they are easy to bend. 160-170mm tall is way easier to bend then something that is 120-130mm tall. Of if the plastic is on top then the 75mm wide is hard to bend. Can have aluminum frame but whats the use of it if it's being weakened like that

Too bad i was probably gonna get this as Sony and Lg haven't revealed their phones yet but now I'll probably wait a little longer.
Mi 11 looked nice but i dont want any overheating problems and we get the exynos version of the s21 so that's really annoying as my contract is finished at the end of this month.

I dont think its a relevant test unless you try to snap phones as a hobby or consistently sit on phones due to where you place it on your pants, but its understandable due to the split battery divided to the top and bottom of the phone, I reckon thats the reason why its susceptible to being snapped when such a thing is done.
Id be more alarmed if it gets destroyed by a simple fall test tbh.

Previous ROG phones have been solid though, as far as build quality goes.

Since it has 65W charging with dual batteries technology, one is at the top and the other is at the bottom, which made the phone weaker.
Then there's this side USB type C port for acessories, and that antenna line.

Disappointing for€1000 plus phone. This puts it's at par with oneplus Nord that failed with it's plastic frame but the Rog 5 has Aluminum & still failed? Too much cost cutting purely corporate greed. They no longer make them as they used to. What a shame.

What's the point of this test though? If a phone was subjected to that type of shear stress the force would usually be a lot stronger than what a human hand can cause. Even sitting down on it would have a stronger force applied to the phone than what one's hand can muster.
