Durability Tests Prove Oppo Find X is Extremely Fragile

The Oppo Observe X is i of the most innovative phones to have been launched this year. Not but does information technology have a stunning bezel-less display, simply it besides comes with a pop-up camera similar to what was seen earlier on the Vivo NEX. Yet, unlike the Vivo device, where merely the forepart-facing camera is housed in a pop-upwards slider, the Detect X has all three of its cameras placed mounted on retractable mechanism.

As it turns out, for all its innovation, Oppo seemed to have overlooked ane important aspect that well-nigh buyers look for in their mobile devices – durability. In fact, different the Vivo NEX, the Find 10 may just be one of the more fragile Android flagships in recent times. Equally seen in the below video, Zack Nelson from JerryRigEverything put the device through its paces, subjecting information technology to an array of torture tests, raising serious doubts most its build quality.

As can be seen in the video, the Oppo Detect X does a pretty decent job of resisting scratches, thanks to the Gorilla Glass 5 protection on its display console. However, the lack of metal reinforcement forth the frame meant that the device got absolutely destroyed during the bend test, even though about flagships come out of the ordeal relatively unscathed.

However, before it succumbed to the bend exam, it did manage to hold its own in the scratch test, where it just started getting scratched at level 6 on the Mohs calibration, with deeper grooves showing up at level 7, both of which are standard for Gorilla Glass 5. Meanwhile, in the burn test, the AMOLED console lasted 14 seconds earlier the pixels started dying. While LCDs usually recover from burns, AMOLEDs don't, so the device ended up with a permanent white mark on the panel.

Either way, in spite of its fragility, the Find X continues to remain a absurd smartphone, then if you do make up one's mind to buy information technology, only make certain to never drop information technology from your hands, or put any sort of weight on it by accidentally sitting on it or stepping on information technology. No sticking it in the back pocket of your jeans and sitting downwardly. The thing is unlikely to survive that ordeal.
