OnePlus 8 Pro Comes Out Pretty Great In JerryRigEverything's Durability Test

Karamchand Rameshwar - Apr 18, 2020

For a high-end smartphone with a high price like the newly-released OnePlus 8 Pro, users can surely expect a high durability on the phone.

On April 14, OnePlus officially launched the duo OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro, two of its latest flagships to succeed the OnePlus 7T series launched half a year ago. The new smartphones come with quite a lot of hardware upgrades, especially on the OnePlus 8 Pro with two new features: wireless charging and IP68 rating for water and dust resistance.

Soon after the launch event, JerryRigEverything's YouTube channel quickly posted a video showing the OnePlus 8 going through his signature durability tests.

Oneplus 8 Pro Durability Test 1 — The screen durability test first. Like many other smartphones, it still scratches at level 6 and deeper grooves at level 7.

Oneplus 8 Pro Durability Test 2 — The screen of the OnePlus 8 Pro has a built-in optical fingerprint sensor and can work normally even when the fingerprint scanning area is scratched.

Oneplus 8 Pro Durability Test 3 — The frame of the device is made of aluminum.

Oneplus 8 Pro Durability Test 4 — The antenna area is located at the top and bottom.

Oneplus 8 Pro Durability Test 5 — A notable feature on the OnePlus 8 Pro is the IP68 rating for water and dust resistance

Oneplus 8 Pro Durability Test 6 — Therefore, the sim tray of the device is protected by a rubber gasket to prevent water from getting inside the phone.

Oneplus 8 Pro Durability Test 7 — The back of OnePlus 8 Pro is finished with a matte texture, avoiding getting prone to sweat and fingerprints.

Oneplus 8 Pro Durability Test 8 — The display is burned by a lighter for 30 seconds.

Oneplus 8 Pro Durability Test 9 — That left a white burn mark at the center of the display.

Oneplus 8 Pro Durability Test 10 — Finally, the bend test. After two tries on both sides of the device, OnePlus 8 Pro still can not be bent with bare hands

Thus, with a starting price of $899 (around Rs. 68,900) for the base variant and $ 999 (around Rs. 76,500) for the top-end version, this is a result that users expect when the device can pass most of JerryRigEverything's tests and show a pretty good endurance.
