Excellent video and test results. Although it could use some improvements yet, it did survive. And the price point is lower when considering that OnePlus at one time was the Flagship killer in regards to price. Glad to see the price is going down slightly. Great video Zack! You always provide the most pertinent information one needs.
I had seen your pixel 2 video before getting that phone. It bent right at the antenna lines in your video. So I always carried it around with a proper hard case from day 1 and even after 4 years it was still as good as day 1 ignoring some very minor scuffs here and there as I had dropped the phone multiple times.
For the record on the waterproofing, I have dropped my own 11 into water several times, including a river once, and I have never had a problem with it after.

Glad this one survived, oneplus are back on the right track again. Interesting enough, my oneplus 9 pro has broken back glass starting from the exact same point. So its save to say its been a weak point for a long time now.
While people often complain about this test being unrealistic, I personally often sit on something like a round metal railing with the phone in my back pocket so I really appreciate you doing these tests. For now my OnePlus 8 hasn't let me down but when it will you can bet I will check out your video before buying a replacement.
It is probably the most useful test. I don't remember when I last dropped my phone in a fire or used it without a screen protector or cover to prevent scratches and grooves but I do remember the 2 times I sat on my phone yesterday by mistake.
Jesus, once I began hearing the crackle I was sure the phone was doomed. Very surprised it didn't snap but im sure that with continous force it most likely will. Thanks for yet another great video Zack! You the man!
I can imagine the One Plus engineers in their labs doing this exact bend test over and over to beat the test, and their celebration when they finally made it!
I remember having the original OnePlus One. It was an exciting phone for its time. After that when they come out with the OnePlus 2 and removed NFC with a few other things even though their slogan is "Never Settle", they ended up settling on less to cut cost. I have not been back to their brand ever since.

Jerry, this doesn't happen in normal use case scenario. You use quite a lot of force to break those phones, something normal user would never do (how can you know he is using force is by how much his thumbs are bending).

Unless you’re 500+ pounds slamming your ass down on a metal surface you should be fine. The bend test is kinda gimmicky as far as durability goes. Unless you’re purposely trying to snap it in half I don’t see a scenario where it’s relevant

Durability is very important. Granted, you do take it to the extreme, but still, devices should be able to hold up to most of this without any problems.
I bought this phone, upgrading from a 7T Pro. My 7T Pro has survived many drops, but the battery just isn't what it used to be. I'm going to miss my pop up camera, but I'll just have to get used to the holepunch.
My first OP was the 3T, right now I am using the 8T. Seeing this OP 11 makes me so upset, they've completely lost their original vision and the damn induction plate on the back just looks ridiculous
I'm also on the 8T and I finally upgraded from oxygen 11 to 13 after being suggested it online... Let's just say "oxygen" aka color 13 is so bad, OnePlus is has taken such a drastic change in direction, that I'm never buying another one again. I went from loving this phone more than any other ever, to despising it. Hopefully the nothing phone 2 will be decent, even though it's backed by apple fanboys.
OPO was one of my fave phones, later upgraded to 3T, amazing upgrade on the original, though i miss CyanogenOS. Everything after that was too expensive and no longer hit the flagship killer title, theyve fallen off hard.
After going through ton of durability test and teardown videos, I have an assumption that the cause of first crack is not antenna line but the metal camera bump fused over the glass has different bending nature than that of the rest of the panel and when bent to an extent the first crack appears right below or above the metal bump and eventually makes the crack go running all over the back panel and can just go crunching like bubble wrap after the first crack. And also the 11r version that is on sale in india doesn't have this issue but it does have plastic frame but still has glass back.
@@f.i.b3027 What premium does cracked glass give?

Never had any phone break to this extreme.... without purposefully slamming and breaking it of course! 🤦So this is for the one of a million time where you get angry and let it out on your phone. Brilliant!
I have a OnePlus 8 and it works great. No complaints other than the battery drains slightly faster. I got a great deal on a 12 ram 256 Rom, unlocked in a Austrian electronic shop for €400 +/-.
The bend test is very important to me. If you test other functions like cellular bluetooth wifi after bending, you can provide extra valuable data. Since iphone has double layer motherboard, those layers are prone to seperate.
About that suggestion of case.. What kind of case will provide enough support to withstand the bending forces like that while also allowing the antenna placed in that weak spot to function? 🤔
I'm extremely flattered with your honest/genuine review with an even more worthy durability test... First time watched your video and I'm already became your fan.. 👍
Too bad you didn't get the watercooled prototype Linus got. I really want to have a look inside that. Still not going to buy a One Plus, i always have my phone in my back pocket, so this failure is a no-go. Besides, still rocking my Note 10 Plus and i won't change, till Zack changes his. And this comes from a guy that used to upgrade the whole household (4) phones, every year. When Zack is convinced, i'll be convinced.
ONEPLUS been upgrading each year and it exceptable to say they really deserve IT🤪.They offer FLAGSHIPS for low prices possible .I love how they COMING UP👍👍.
I've had that exact issue with the back glass cracking so many times with my 1+9pro. I don't know why they have such a large gap under their back glass always....
@@Rg4gamer800 an air gap like that will just hurt cooling. They need heat transfer to the case of the phone to reject the heat and that air will act like an insulator
The camera bump design is the reason for failure.... notice that in case of OnePlus 9 pro it was fine ....but problems started occurring when they have tried to modify the camera part.
I am using OnePlus 10 pro for 10 months. No issue. Nothing broke. Used as daily driver. Kept in trouser pocket. Nothing happened. So I doubt ur unscientific test, while actual bending pressure is not measured measured.
At 1:15 you say that “in reality the only thing that changes is the camera bump” I would love a video showing this in greater detail. I know that some things change obviously, but proving this may help people (myself included) not feel the need to upgrade so often. I want to use it up and wear it out in regards to my phone but the cosmic pull of getting the newest one is so hard for me.
The glass on the back is not made to create a premium feel. It's really done to make them easier to break and sell more units. Quite the opposite of thinking of a sustainable world.
Usually when I'm in the market for a new phone I'll search the phone on your channel before even going to check it out in person. If it passes then I go and look at it if it fails I search for a new phone, knowing I'll never put my phone's through what you put your through it's still nice to know that if an extreme accident happens which phone is likely to survive and which ones aren't.
And this is why I'm still on my OnePlus 7 Pro. It has been through hell. Plenty of falls on concrete, sat on it, dropped things on it. Only one noticeable scratch right in the center. Pop up camera still works the same as day one, and I got this used. Battery also lasts me at least 10 hours with moderate-heavy use. tldr, new phones are bad
My One Plus is 2 years old. I have to say, I would've rather paid the $200 difference between it and the Galaxy S of the time just to not have as many issues. It's frozen and disconnected from bluetooth several times since I've had it
Gotta get some rubber gloves when you go to do the bends Zach. I'm curious if the phones snap easier with a slightly better grip as your fingers can slide.
When are you going to do a durability test on the Oppo fold phones? not sure if they are out internationally yet, but would be cool to see one if they are out. Great video.

Never had any phone break to this extreme.... without purposefully slamming and breaking it of course! 🤦So this is for the one of a million time where you get angry and let it out on your phone. Brilliant!
I have a OnePlus 8 and it works great. No complaints other than the battery drains slightly faster.
I got a great deal on a 12 ram 256 Rom, unlocked in a Austrian electronic shop for €400 +/-.
Will there be a teardown case for this phone? I just upgraded from the 9 pro and already miss the case.
Jerry and one plus this is going far than expected
The bend test is very important to me. If you test other functions like cellular bluetooth wifi after bending, you can provide extra valuable data. Since iphone has double layer motherboard, those layers are prone to seperate.
About that suggestion of case.. What kind of case will provide enough support to withstand the bending forces like that while also allowing the antenna placed in that weak spot to function? 🤔
otterbox usually make some solid cases
I think zack should now upgrade to the s23 ultra cuz samsung just totally removed adhesive from their batteries for him 😁
zack*
his actual name is zack
I am using the one plus 7t pro Maclern edition for almost 4years and it's still performing well. Best phone one plus ever made!!
I'm extremely flattered with your honest/genuine review with an even more worthy durability test... First time watched your video and I'm already became your fan.. 👍
same, i am prospecting this particular phone right now i have the N20 5G I really like it
Zach's bend tests is basically ASMR to us
They better be watching this video and making the 12 NOT have an antenna line under the camera. They got too many spots on the “Shelf of Shame”.
Too bad you didn't get the watercooled prototype Linus got.
I really want to have a look inside that.
Still not going to buy a One Plus, i always have my phone in my back pocket, so this failure is a no-go.
Besides, still rocking my Note 10 Plus and i won't change, till Zack changes his.
And this comes from a guy that used to upgrade the whole household (4) phones, every year.
When Zack is convinced, i'll be convinced.
The OnePlus 11 pro is a great phone, I would still get it. As always Zac, many thanks for the tests
good phone but a bad buy with only 2 years of software support, as long as competitors are offering 4 this is a dead buy.
@@schizofennec OnePlus 11 has 4 yrs os updates and 5 years of security...
ONEPLUS been upgrading each year and it exceptable to say they really deserve IT🤪.They offer FLAGSHIPS for low prices possible .I love how they COMING UP👍👍.
I've had that exact issue with the back glass cracking so many times with my 1+9pro. I don't know why they have such a large gap under their back glass always....
For cooling maybe
@@Rg4gamer800 an air gap like that will just hurt cooling. They need heat transfer to the case of the phone to reject the heat and that air will act like an insulator
Can't wait for the teardown,
I own a OnePlus 11 for a month now and I love it😊
Is any issues with one plus 11
I know it's risky given how rare they are, but if you could do a durability test and teardown of a Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra, I would love you even more!
am surprised he missed out on the "run over with a road roller" test among everything else
Do you think the Black version is more durable? It should be made of glass too, if I remember correctly. And you know... glass is glass
Remember those metal sleeves that people used to get for their lighters? I could see a JRE version of it in your merch catalog.
Id honestly be curious to see the matte frosted back one be bend tested
It's been done by another channel, same result
It barely survived the bend test, I'd have thought since the last 2 failed it would be a major consideration
Call me shazam nte vedio kandatt vannavar ondo 🙂🙂
The camera bump design is the reason for failure.... notice that in case of OnePlus 9 pro it was fine ....but problems started occurring when they have tried to modify the camera part.
I am using OnePlus 10 pro for 10 months. No issue. Nothing broke. Used as daily driver. Kept in trouser pocket. Nothing happened. So I doubt ur unscientific test, while actual bending pressure is not measured measured.
Super bro
Tbh. Just got the android 13 update for my Nothing Phone 1. Very much satisfied. Don't think I'll ever return to OP.
At 1:15 you say that “in reality the only thing that changes is the camera bump” I would love a video showing this in greater detail. I know that some things change obviously, but proving this may help people (myself included) not feel the need to upgrade so often. I want to use it up and wear it out in regards to my phone but the cosmic pull of getting the newest one is so hard for me.
The glass on the back is not made to create a premium feel. It's really done to make them easier to break and sell more units. Quite the opposite of thinking of a sustainable world.
OnePlus 11 passed the durability test,it will be my next phone of the year. Thanks
Usually when I'm in the market for a new phone I'll search the phone on your channel before even going to check it out in person. If it passes then I go and look at it if it fails I search for a new phone, knowing I'll never put my phone's through what you put your through it's still nice to know that if an extreme accident happens which phone is likely to survive and which ones aren't.
Oh, the sound of that cracking. I felt that.
Jerry - "It's 11:11, make a wish". I look down at my clock at the bottom of my screen and it's 1:11, that's freaky!
If it's not a bendgate, it's a breakgate! Good it's still working though. Will wait for the 12 series next year. Nice review!
Zack went easy… he got paper❤❤❤
And this is why I'm still on my OnePlus 7 Pro. It has been through hell. Plenty of falls on concrete, sat on it, dropped things on it. Only one noticeable scratch right in the center. Pop up camera still works the same as day one, and I got this used. Battery also lasts me at least 10 hours with moderate-heavy use.
tldr, new phones are bad
Nice and practically tested 👍 well done Jerry
It`s just only me when "Jerry" uses a blade on the sides makes me a goose skin ?
Watching you breaking those expensive phones breaks my heart!😂
That's why I watch jerrys videos right before sleeping 😁😁😁 relaxing relaxing 😌 😴 😎
You are tempting Phone makers to construct a Titanium Phone to challenge you. Always Great Videos.
11:11: Make a wish!
*phone snaps its back panel*
Mmm... Not too shaby!
I used to be a one plus fanboy. After paying $900 for my most recent OnePlus 8 pro phone, it was an easy jump to the s22 ultra for $1200.
Same, after 5, 7 pro and 10 pro, jump to s23 ultra. No regret. Last good phone from oneplus was 7pro and 7t pro.
My One Plus is 2 years old. I have to say, I would've rather paid the $200 difference between it and the Galaxy S of the time just to not have as many issues. It's frozen and disconnected from bluetooth several times since I've had it
So yeah. Nice video.
Do durability test of Xiaomi 13 Series
Gotta get some rubber gloves when you go to do the bends Zach. I'm curious if the phones snap easier with a slightly better grip as your fingers can slide.
Love the content keep ot up
When are you going to do a durability test on the Oppo fold phones? not sure if they are out internationally yet, but would be cool to see one if they are out. Great video.
The back glass looks like a transparent plastic case. They really should've made the layers a bit tighter.
I've been waiting for this to decide between the Pixel 7 and this. Thank you for making the decision for me.
buy s23
No, s23 is not being discussed here.
I would like to see Zack's phone shelf... 😀
