Google Pixel's Violence Test - Waterproof and Bend-Resistant are the Highlights

Summary: Pixel in the resistance to draw basically in our expectations, and bending performance is very good, almost no deformation. The biggest surprise is its waterproof, its performance is far better than the IP53 level.



All new phones that have just been launched have to withstand a variety of harsh tests, such as resistance to draw, drop, bend and even fire and water resistance and other violence testing. As is currently on the market Android flagship, Google Pixel naturally escape such a fate.

Recently, JerryRig began to carry out a series of tests on Pixel phone, this test is aimed at the blue version of Pixel, including the resistance to stroke, bending and lighter test.

Pixel uses Corning's fifth generation of gorilla glass panels, while the back is a metal shell. As with most fifth-generation gorilla glass models, Pixel's screen hardness is also between 5.5 and 6 Mohs hardness, so the keys, coins in the backpack common hard objects will not leave scratches On the Pixel. However, when using a utility knife, you can leave a slight trace on the screen. In the back of the resistance test, Pixel mobile phone metal paint is easily scratched. Pixel's fingerprint sensor seems to be covered with a thin layer of rubber coating, it is also very easy to scratch, but this does not affect the fingerprint recognition function, there is no essential impact.

After using a lighter to bake Pixel screen, although at that time will leave a trace, but slowly will automatically disappear, there will be no obvious damage.

In the final bending test, Pixel performed quite well, with little change in the force applied from the front. The pressure from the back after the start, just slightly bent out of a gap, but there is no overall bend, the overall performance of the bending resistance is more satisfactory.

On the other hand, some people have tested the water resistance of Pixel. Google to Pixel's official waterproof rating of IP53, so the water resistance is relatively poor, but from the specific test performance, the Google Pixel is more waterproof than you might think.

But this is not sure that this is not an accidental performance, so we still do not recommend you take a Pixel bathing, swimming, or for a long time and water contact operation.
