The camera of the handset is rated to last for 100 flips per day in 3 years. The remaining parts look durable since the phone’s all-metal design (even the camera setup is metal) passed the durability test with flying colors. Although the camera module performed well in the scratch test, its surrounding parts are very easy to scratch.
