    Now that's more than a shame for ROG 5 or Legion (ironically, these are meant for roughest section of users).

      Gaming phones are something of a gimmick to start with, though I roll my eyes every time I see the word ‘gaming’ in front of anything that’s not ‘console’.

      But a gaming phone (a device that serves double duty as the controller itself) that snaps like a twig under minimal pressure.....

      Well that’s just a p*ss poorly designed gimmick!

If the same logic is applied to human, basically you would test a person how many stabs that would take before the person dies. This is the same to phone. They're not explicitly described that they would withstand abuses, this burn test, bend test, is NOT durability test as it goes beyond "durability". It's more properly called "torture withstand test" or "can it withstand abuses test".

                    Thats surprisingly weak. Like really weak, Jerry didn't even seem to struggle.

                    I know bend test are non sense but at least we know how fragile a smartphone can be.

                    Also theres a lot of people who put there phone on back pocket not just the ladies. And again what is wrong with ladies putting their phone in the back pocket? Aren't you aware side pockets on the female jeans is almost unusable since its too tight for some reason. And Im a guy and using the back pocket seems moee convenient.

                      For once, it might be a sensible decision to buy a proper premium flagship smartphone in the first place.

                        Very poor engineering on both this and the ROG5 - unacceptable.

                          Bruh I hope blackshark 4 is not like this and the ROG PHONE 5 😂😂😂🤦🏻‍♂️

                            I guess they should have changed the name to Lenovo Legion Trio 3 Fold and the irony is I just commented on a GSMA Post a few days ago about waiting for this to snap and it evidently did!😂😂
