Are mid-range plastic smartphones as durable as high-end glass ones?

          Actually quite a surprising result too. Yes, the specs are underwhelming and the UI is c**p, but it is paid with better durability. The rival Redmi Note 10 (and Pro, check on Gupta Informations YT channel) and it breaks like paper. I wish manufacturers really pay attention on build quality instead and provide with less specs, although of course for that price point I do not expect iPhone build quality.

            Realme 7 pro is a much better phone. It has tuv reinland certification. Meaning it is really really durable. I've seen a durability test video of it on indian youtuber.
            It has so much features that make this realme 8 pro just an inferior alternative of it.
            Realme is not even trying to compete with that 120hz Amoled. But the fact that redmi note 10 pro only have a 732g (slower than 720g there are so many facts out there to prove it) make this 10 & 8 series is just about 108mp camera competition that doesn't need to happen in the first place.
            Why not upgrade the chipset to so much Faster 750g.
            At least samsung done it with 5g Version of their a52.

                And the glass of redmi note 10 is BREAK. You'll be disappointed. It's not durable.
                And the chipset is slower than 720g Actually.
                Trust me. Both redmi and realme in this 10 & 8 series is somewhat disappointing.
                There are to many compromise.
                And the Amoled 120hz doesn't i m o.
                BETTER grab last gen of those series.

                          Also, the "DARE TO LEAP" cringe is a bit ironic because anyone who has at least elementary knowledge of mobile phone will obviously "dare to leap" to Xiaomi with either RN10Pro or Poco F3

                                      Barry Egan, 31 Mar 2021this might be a bbk sponsored video 😐So many phones didn't even bend. Would you call all of them as sponsored videos??
