Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro snaps in half when subjected to bend test

09 November 2022
Last year, the same thing happened to the ROG Phone 5.

Sort by:

if people avoid donating their phones to Jerry, their phones will be just fine and last what any phone is supposed to last i.e. 3 to 5 years

    Anyhow even the Samsung foldables from this year did not break in his test, not even after a few tries.

    Meanwhile the ROG6 broke like a twig after the first try, Asus should really ditch the whole dual battery system, and fix the structural integrity of the device.

    Because this should not happen with a phone starting at ~€1000

      hahah folded easily.
      Means the weak spot is very weak.

I knew Xiaomi Mi5 also snaps in half like this and I still bought it knowing I won't have issues with that. The phone was "decommissioned" after 6 years of use because it was starting to get slow and battery last for only few hours.

        I mean, it's important if you carry phone in your jeans back pocket or you often sit on it. Otherwise it should be fine anyway. But it's so weird still seeing phones break like this when nearly all phone makers are now making sure this isn't happening. Hell, ASUS had phones that didn't do this and then they suddenly do again. I'd say this is just lazy engineering.

              They are making it extra long , so that people can bend it easily.
              Btw no respect for the dead phone 😢.

                And? does that change anything related to phone?
                I had few of most bending phones and even after dropping them, or few times even sit on them by accident and.... does that change how good they where? Nope...

                      Looking at the current state of smartphones, it's better to just keep the cash back in the pocket because phones are becoming just a joke. Terrible build quality, easily breakable and expensive af

                              I strongly believe this man should stop these so called bend tests. It is extremely discouraging and joy killing and just doesn't make much sense.
