It has now been several weeks since OnePlus unveiled its new high-end smartphone, the OnePlus 10T. The device has already undergone a battery of tests from the press and youtubers, and some of them have found that the smartphone is more fragile than we could hope.
As we saw in the recent JerryRigEverything video, the OnePlus 10T turns out to be quite a fragile smartphone, like the OnePlus 10 Pro before it. If the screen is quite capable of withstanding scratches and burns for several tens of seconds, the structure of the smartphone turns out to be much less resistant when the smartphone is folded.
In his folding test, the youtuber managed to breaking the smartphone into two parts after applying forward pressure. We noticed that the OnePlus 10T had clamped just below the photo module, exactly in the same place as the OnePlus 10 Pro.
OnePlus ensures that its smartphones pass its resistance tests successfully
In response to this test, OnePlus wanted to reassure customers who wanted to buy its smartphone. ” The OnePlus 10T meets or exceeds all of OnePlus’ extensive durability testing procedures, this includes a pressure test where the device is suspended while weight is applied to its center front and back the company said in a statement.
” The OnePlus 10T has an improved structural engineering design and can withstand more than 45 kg of external force in this test at OnePlus’ lab “, assures OnePlus. It should be noted that JerryRigEverything’s test was much more extreme than the scenarios you might face with your own smartphone.
Unless you sit on it, chances are we’ll never experience any issues with the OnePlus 10T. OnePlus used to offer fairly durable smartphones, the OnePlus 9 Pro had passed the test successfully. We also recall that other smartphones such as the Nothing Phone 1, the Pixel 6 Pro or the Xiaomi 12 Pro have also withstood the youtuber’s folding test.
