          Impressive quality. Even the sand test was really impressive, Corning did a hell of a good job with the Victus 2

                    Anton., 09 Oct 2023I already want to see performance tests, battery life in re... moreThing is, for most people, performance is relative, always has been and always will be. My old Note 9 is (was) perfectly suited to do everything i threw at it, its only being retired because to replace the USB, Battery, Camera sensor and Headphone Jack which have all taken a beating over the years, simply made no sense when for a little more i can get the next phone that will last me another 5+ years.

                    Only those who peacock around their Flagship device care about benchmarks that are already beyond most peoples needs, in a real world business environment, the P7, P8, S22 and S23 are the same for all intents and purposes, performance numbers at this end of the lineup is all largely academic and pointless, for most people.

                      Like it matters if i slap a quality leather case on it it will survive anything same goes for quality screen protector a5D 9H tempered glass.
                      Even if i get very durable device still its a crappy s-h-i-t with below average CPU and GPU along with crippled charging speeds making this device completely useless.

                        the screen does not work can it be considered that it survived I think not , the screen protrudes beyond the edges of the case like in xiaomi 2016 of course it will get a chip

                          Never liked google phones that much, but im tempting to change my ip 12 pro for pixel 8 pro
                          i think its kinda good and cheaper in my country than iphones and samsungs, like 200-250€ diference. And they are kinda good on drop tests, curved screens are pretty but easy to break
                          unfortunately.
