I am using and abusing my Poco F1 for the last 3+ years and it still works flawlessly and looks decent. Again, ABUSING IT. True, it has screen protector installed at all times and a Ringke Fusion X case snapped on at all times, still, the abuse this phone has seen is something else.

                So, what Zack does testing these devices is exaggerating a bit what a 2-3 years of abuse could potentially do to them. Geuss what, there are plenty of phones that are rock solid and I deffo listen to what Zack has to say.

                Way to go, Zack, thanks for buying and destroying these devices, so we don't have to.

                  I suspect it's because it was bent in half :D

                                  its not about blaming the product fail, IF you choose the product, then its your decision / choice, especially if you already know the product have low durability.

                                  Thus such review videos is simple and clear enough which phone have good/bad durability, and help people to choice which phone which suit them.

                                  tldr for you this bend-test is useless, but maybe not for other people. phone with weak frame is fine for you as you care them, but not always for other. Each people have their own opinion, so no need to force other people to agree your opinion
