Will the Red Magic 10 Pro survive a bend test?

Vlad, 04 December 2024

Today the Red Magic 10 Pro was officially launched internationally. And now, mere hours after the launch, the phone has already been put through a durability test by Zack of JerryRigEverything on YouTube. As usual, this means the screen will be tested both for its scratch resistance and burn resistance, and there will also be attempts to bend the phone out of shape.

So, if all that sounds interesting, get comfortable, grab some popcorn and/or a beverage of your choice, and hit Play below.

In case you couldn't watch for whatever reason, here's the nitty gritty. The device has an RGB fan with an outlet in the frame, which is probably why it has no IP rating, and no camera bump whatsoever - both of these are very niche features these days, so they're interesting to see.

The screen glass scratches at level 6 on the Mohs hardness scale, with deeper grooves showing up at level 7 - just like on every other smartphone. The frame is aluminum of course, as are the buttons. The screen's pixels start to burn after being exposed to a direct flame for 15 seconds and never recover, so do avoid that in real life use.

Finally, the bend test. The Red Magic 10 Pro survives with flying colors. You can bend it from the front, or from the back, and there are no cracks, no kinks, there's no damage whatsoever.

Still hoping these phone brand will get this kind of model with IP rating atleast IPx7 even they have Fan.

Samsung will be finished by 2028-2030 and will be selling only in US and EU. Chinese OEMs might have their own chip and Google Pixel will have their own thing by 2030. S25U is good, but camera hardware is pretty bad. With no signs of upgrade even on ...
