welcomed Detailed review Offers “many calls without much money”, Described by one of our writers As “the iPhone SE for Android I’ve been waiting for,” Google’s recently released Pixel 6a has won the hearts of many who are clearly eyeing mid-range mobiles.
But does Google’s Pixel 6a stand up to everyday use? Does it easily get scratched during everyday activities, or does it break if you sit on it?
Popular YouTuber Zack Nelson — he jelly rig — We recently put the $449 Pixel 6a through a standardized durability test that featured scratches, bends, and even burn marks.
You can see how your phone bill is paid in the video below.
After carefully scraping various tools across the Pixel 6a’s front display, Nelson can confirm Google’s assurance that it’s actually made of robust but rather old Gorilla Glass 3.
Next up is Nelson’s trusty box cutter. Not for the faint of heart, the YouTuber sets out to scrape the blade off the side of his brand-new handset. It’s a somewhat extreme act of revealing a metal frame via a plastic power button and volume rocker.
Turning to the lens housing on the back of the Pixel 6a, Nelson said: Scratching the oval glass that protects the lenses of the two 12-megapixel cameras does little to no damage, but the rest of the camera lens housing is made of plastic and can be easily removed from the box cutter. A hit with the blade will severely damage it.
At this point, the phone is badly damaged, mostly due to the brutality of the assault. I advise: Get a case and cover it anyway.
Nelson begins digging out a giraffe painting on the back of the device to prove it’s made of plastic, not glass. At this point, he also reveals little about the phone’s durability, but launches into an alliteration-packed monologue in an act that reveals a lot about the YouTuber’s impressive ability to verbal gymnastics. doing.
Nelson then pulls out his trusty lighter and flames the front display for 20 seconds before the damage becomes apparent. But as Nelson points out, the chances of a naked flame touching the Pixel 6a or any other smartphone are very unlikely in everyday use. But he likes doing it anyway.
Of course, structural integrity is more important, so YouTubers are eager to flex the Pixel 6a around to see if it can hold up. Unlike OnePus 10 Pro, he succeeded in breaking it in half Earlier this year, Google’s handset remained intact and ready for use. a little.
