OnePlus announced its new flagship phone a few weeks ago, but you might not have heard about it. The OnePlus 10 Pro is currently only available in the company\u2019s home market of China, but YouTube phone torture channel JerryRigEverything has one in hand \u2014 the remains of one, that is. The durability test revealed significant structural problems with the OnePlus 10 Pro.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The modern smartphone is a sandwich of glass and aluminum, which is usually more durable than you\u2019d expect. Glass has meager tensile strength, so it cracks and shatters if dropped or struck. However, it has incredibly high compressive strength \u2014 orders of magnitude higher than the tensile strength. So, if you stick a slab of glass between some aluminum end caps, you get something that\u2019s extremely rigid.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That brings us to JerryRigEverything, a YouTube channel that tests the durability of phones by scratching, burning, and bending them. This test will reveal structural weaknesses that can kill a phone before you\u2019re ready to give it up. Most phones with glass backs survive the bend test just fine \u2014 even foldables like the Z Fold3 remain intact and working after being bent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When the disembodied hands give the OnePlus<\/a> 10 Pro a twist, the glass shatters. A few seconds later, the phone has actually folded in half, and no, this is not a foldable. So, this is a catastrophic failure, but what\u2019s wrong? The OnePlus 10 Pro is priced at the Chinese equivalent of $1,000, competing with phones like the Galaxy S22 and Pixel 6 Pro. Those phones don\u2019t snap in half, even though they\u2019re made of the same materials.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
