Famous YouTube channel JerryRigEverything documents the weakest link, literally, in the new flagship model
The OnePlus 10 Pro was launched last month with a price equivalent to more than NIS 2,400 before tax additions, with specifications laden with every technological good, sadly updated that tries to differentiate it from other premium models on the market – and a big problem with its structural durability, unfortunately now painfully demonstrated Very much in the famous YouTube test of the channel JerryRigEverything.
Channel operator Zack Nelson took over the OnePlus flagship for the first half of 2022, despite the fact that the device was not officially launched in the US and it is currently unclear whether it will be launched in the country later or not – and began performing its test What made it its shell and also the overall resistance to a blazing fire flame.Everything looked absolutely solid until it reached the crucial stage of the bending test, where the OnePlus 10 Pro broke in half with frightening ease, reminding us of a time when most models on the market are very solid and inclined Survive this exam without blinking.
The screen broke and the smart device became unusable – only the LED flashlight in the back flash continued to work somehow despite the catastrophe around it
OnePlus’ desire to include a large 5,000mAh dual-cell battery with support for as fast charging as possible, combined with the new design with the significant non-camera top, created a significant structural weakness just below the cameras and above the battery, with a thin metal frame and plastic antenna strip in the same area. Contributes to exacerbating the problem. It seems that after the OnePlus 9 Pro proved itself impressively in the same test with minimal response to the attempt to apply manual pressure front and rear – the new luxury model repeats past mistakes as part of a sacrifice designed to combine the most advanced technologies and dimensions as compact as possible.
Quite a few complaints have been made over the years, even by the smartphone makers themselves, that the testing methods in this channel are ineffective, unscientific and do not properly reflect the reasonable daily use of humans – yet the serious failure in the case of the OnePlus 10 Pro makes the addition The hard protective cover from a recommendation is a must for us, as we do not want to see even a small chance that the new shiny device for which we paid thousands of shekels with the best of our money will turn into a pile of screws and broken glass in another moment of inattention.
