The “Flagship Killer” Oneplus 6T is finally launched last night in Newyork.One of the much-hyped smartphone in the latter half year. The smartphone took a major upgrade over its predecessor Oneplus 6. As a part of the event, OnePlus took an innovative approach this time by inviting Zack Jerry to the launch event in New York where the device was disassembled before a live audience. That explains OnePlus’ approach of promoting the 6T as having a good hardware despite its fair pricing.
The Zack Nelson, popular for the YouTube channel – JerryRigEverything put everything in the You tube about the durability of the new smartphone which shows the OnePlus6T has a durable build.
Back to the durability test, The phone comes with a Corning Gorilla Glas 6 protection on top of the display which only sees minor scratch at a level 6 and deeper ones at level 7 of the Mohs’ scale. The handset sports an in-display fingerprint scanner embedded under the screen and scratch is supposed to affect the scanner or not. The worrying thing about here is that the in-display fingerprint reader needs a clear view of your finger through the glass. Surprisingly, in this, the in-display fingerprint reader still works fine despite having scratches on the glass surface.
On the back, The Midnight Glass back has a frosted finish and softer metals leave traces that can be wiped off. The variant that went under the knife. The metal back still shows some level of durability even though you can just stick a protective casing on for more protection as harder metal will leave permanent scratches.
Not only this the device was also subjected to the heat test and then the bend test and interestingly, but Zack also seems to go easy on the device as the OnePlus6T was still standing in our usable piece after an entire experiment. Are you still excited to watch the whole video? Here you go..
