TheRealMikeShea Hope you enjoy the 10, that's still a very good phone! I myself put my 830 to the sidelines now, my main daily driver is the Huawei Mate 9, been using it since March. Genuinely love it ^^
kamran khan Why do conspiracy theorists always see conspiracies everywhere EXCEPT for where they actually are? He passes phones from so many unrelated companies. What single company would pay him to shill for competitors? There is a real problem, though. He does the bend test with his hands. It isn't scientifically valid, because the amount of stress will vary every time.
Oh yeah, I watched it! But that about apple and the lightning connector, but the Android phones have USB-C connector, they don't have any patent for that, so why?
because with USB-C they can do things like active noise cancellation and more without needing the cancellation technology needed in the headphones. Also the HTC USB-C headphones in the box can use microphones to map your ear canal to optimize audio for your ears, something a 3.5mm jack can't do as it is only a sound delivery system and can't do advanced features.
Shashank B V Those earbuds included inside the box are Shit, i have a beyerdynamic DT 1770 PRO Studio Headphones and I'm not going to carry with me stupid usb type C headphone adapter. And if I lose that stupid adapter my music is totally trapped inside my phone. What a stupid decision, only because people wants to see their porno in the shower.
Good to know, but this wont stop me from buying a U11. I just cannot imagine one single situation in my everyday life where a phone would be bent like this. Nor do I drop my phones - it really does not happen to everyone, because some people are careful and appreciate the value of goods.
Well, you'd better not drop it because if you do, it's probably gonna break. Mine slid out my pocket when I was hopping out of the car and broke immediately. Still works fine, but thay fiberglass back was a terrible design choice for durability.
Shit happens dude. Murphy has a way with screwing with you. Also bad idea to say "never happens to me" because others have said things like that in regard to ships and sinking....
I own HTC U11 for half a year now. Im one of those "careless" people, my phone literally landed from 1.5m on hard tiles before I even turned it on for the first time. It's been dropped around 30 times, I dont use any protection. To this day, I dont have a single scratch or defect. This guy is obviously over-doing things, you wouldnt normally have such a force. Dont worry, this phone is stronger than every phone ive owned so far.
I have a feeling that HTC aren't going to be growing larger anytime soon - they're not the same company that made the M7 and M8, and everything people liked about them (such as the premium metal build quality and front-facing boomsound speakers) are all a distant memory now. I just feel pretty sad for them, as they're definitely a company that has contributed to the smartphone industry significantly.
Not to sound dumb, but the M series is when all the fiscal trouble started. I don't think they want to go back to being that company. I think they'd rather become a juggernaut that is profitable again.
None of that stuff did HTC any good. Too many idiots thought people actually cared about that stuff in the big picture. The ONLY way for any HTC device to do well in the market, is if it's branded as Apple or Samsung. So all of that premium build, metal, etc. is a complete waste for HTC.
Sudev Nair the u11's speakers are actually supposed to be pretty great, they just have a tweeter/woofer combo instead of stereo like the m8 which is probably more practical. I do agree that HTC still isn't going to start doing any better, but I hope they do.
Speakers on U11 are even better then those in M8 so your point is wrong. Id like to see metal again, but did it work for them? No. The 10 was brilliant but didn't sell. It was time to try sth different. Just stop whining.
Danny Tanase nahhh the HTC 10 could have been $200 off contract and it still would have had trash sales. No matter what they priced it at, the bulk of customers would buy an AppleSung anyway.
If you want to buy this phone, get it. if you really like HTC and OK with no headphone jack. It failed the bend test but it took a lot of force to get bend, I think you'll be fine. just don't drop it.
Cyrckle سيركل seems like a great phone but at the price point the display doesn't cut it. I could get something cheaper that actually has an oled display on it which is much better and a headphone jack..
409 they can go bad but so can lcd displays if the backlight goes out on them. All in all worth the trade off for the deeper blacks and the better colors and much better brightness
409 what ? Oled doesn't affect speed. Infact since it doesn't require a backlight there's more room to put a bigger battery or whatever they wanna do with it.. like I said lcd doesn't compete with oled
RogueKnight731 oled or amoled screens suck. Give me SLCD anyday. Much more realistic colours. Oled are over saturated and look fake. I personally hate them.
that's the issue with review websites like CNET and android authority, they complain and complain about weight so builders respond but you can only make phones so light before they are fragile. I would rather have thicker heavier phones if it makes it stronger and bigger battery.
+Utkarsh Amitabh Srivastava Let's see whose what breaks! I'm quit sure I'll be the one to bring the video link here just to show you how dumbass Sony is when it comes to quality in durability.
hey Zack, thanks for great videos, I really enjoy them, BTW, please do a durability test on New Sony Xperia xz premium. I really want to see how durable that phone is. thanks.
I'm upset because my fucking Sony Xperia Z5 broke and the repairing cost is half the price of the phone. I'm a student and my parents were angry enough to keep me for next few semesters without a repaired or a new phone. Just telling the community just like JerryRigEverything that durable electronics are more important than who is the faster one by milliseconds.
I just notice Zack has 1m subscriber! The first time I watch his video, only about 200k subscribers. And it's like a couple of months ago! Congrats dude, the only channel the destroy phone because you truly make awesome video for all the consumer out there. P/s I'm using a redmi note 4, I did expect the build quality is as bad as redmi note 3 since it is in your shelf of shame and I sat on my phone a couple of time, and my phone did bent slightly outward. I think the aluminum is just to thin.
I'm curious about the "3.5mm to usb-c" dongle. Usually phone manufacture put the DAC(Digital to Analog Converter) chip inside the phone, but HTC said that they put it inside the dongle. This is the first time that someone have make DAC such a small size! Could you let us know what's inside it?
No, Apple's 3.5mm to Lightning dongle has a cheap DAC built-in as well. There's a video on UA-cam of somebody tearing apart the dongle and uncovering it.
John Baker just like there's better ways to improve the human condition - like end world hunger and cure cancer... But we still have wars, we still send shuttles to the moon and mars, we still sponsor/vote for dumb politicians... And we'll continue to do soo many other "slightly-to-the-left" things because that's how humans are built.
I honestly have this phone already (responding on it) I have no regrets purchasing. I feel like it probably could have survived the bend test. possible manufacturing defect?
By the looks of it, however, it looks as if the phone wasn't completely broken on the inside because I could still see it working under the broken LCD. I bet a screen replacement would help bring some life back into this phone, even though it might still look like a broken phone, it would still work just fine
Will you do a durability test/teardown on the XZ Premium? It's not the most premium material phone in the world, as the sides are plastic but I'm curious to see the materials tested.
LKGaming great change, because it heard it fixed the reception problem of the previous generation (X series). My X has half the signal strength of my Honor 6X but costs 1.5x more.
my dad bought HTC one back in 2013 a year ago the frame near the front facing speakers started to detach and bothered him, he couldn't find replacement for it he bought iPhone 6s before couple of months he found a replacement for the entire HTC one body.... after fixing it he regretted buying the iPhone coz he loved the HTC one so much and it is still smooth and in a good shape
I have one. Great phone. I just hate the lack of a head phone jack (it messed up my in-car setup. Now I am forced to rely on a Bluetooth convertor rather than the aux.) And good to know that the frame bends and breaks so easily. I had a false sense of confidence coming from my old HTC 10 which survived a hundred falls until it finally died. Good video and good info sir! 👍
What a beast! These are quite extreme situations to make a decision whether to buy the cell phone or not. Those kinds of things aren´t day to day, which doesnt mean that HTC U11 is fragile. That means this guy is a sick beast.
Checking back a few years later. My wife has my old HTC U11 now. I gave it to her after dropping the U11 a half dozen times, and it broke my fall from a stage, leaving a phone-shaped bruise on my leg, but no damage to itself. All of that was without a case. My wife has dropped the U11 much more than I did, is using it right now, and is still very happy with it. Guess the real world forgot to check with Zach!
Any phone as slippery as these is a set up for disaster. Beyond just not wanting to drop/damage the phone, they're just too difficult to hold w/o a case.
I had this phone 2.5 years absolutely no issues it's still in good shape hardware and software-wise. I never use a case either. The squeeze function is surprisingly useful for screenshots and the flashlight. I can just whip it out and squeeze it to turn on the flashlight without the screen ever coming on. It's unironically something I wish every phone had. Such a shame HTC stopped making flagship phones. Had to switch to Oneplus after owning an M8, 10, and U11
@@rpgandhorrorloverhans uh, okay buddy lol. He bends with the same force on every video. Very few phone's don't survive and they are shit. Most phone's do
Thanks for the durability test, still getting it for sure, it's a good thing to be aware off, people should be a tad more carefull when handling the phone, maybe there will be saphire version
Hi Jerry, thank you very much for wonderful durability test! I wanted to request a durability test for the U11 plus if you can, that would be awesome. Thank's :)
I just wanted to put my comment to counter your point (pressure). My u11 got run over by a full size SUV face up on an asphalt parking lot. It had no case on it. All that was broken was the cracking of glass back. Nothing else. No blemishes on screen, no dead pixels or spots, buttons, speakers, camera, edge sense work perfect. I just replaced the back and all is new. Tell me how many phones will survive that. This is a real world example.
Jerry stands corrected! HTC U11 does have a headphone jack. It it the USB C port, that doubles as a headphone jack. Awesome headphones come in the box with the phone. HTC also throw in there a 3.5mm audio to USB C connector, to use with standard headphones. The best of both worlds!
The only reason the phone bends with alot of pressure is because of that innovating edge sense makes the phone fragile and weak unlike the HTC 10 and a ridged case would still let u squeeze the phone obviously manufacturer's are gonna make the squeezing part of the usable still the best phone of the year tho
bruhs fer days S8 also has the edge screen which make it more fragile structure wise, and yet it still survived with almost zero flex. The best phone this year probably will be the iPhone Edition or Note 8.
bruhs fer days s6 s7 s8 has edge screen they more prone to scratches and bend but samsung manage to pass the bend tess..... And lumia have that squeeze able screen but they not bend why replaceable batteries lmao this is not the only htc phone that fail....
I disagree the S8's edges make it more fragile in the sense of bending, it still has metal side rails. It only makes it fragile in the sense of the screen cracking.
Nardine Kashani I'm not talking about edge screen I'm taking about the edge sense that part of the phone is weak that's why it bent as long as u don't bend the HTC U 11 ur good

Finally, another scratch, burn, and bend routine. Love your video :)
This is what happens when you take out the Headphone jack.
hoota ragis Apparently bending has something to do with the headphone jack now?
Divine Linity Of course! The connection of headphone jacks to bending durability has been around for more than a decade now! Didn't you know??
hoota ragis I would be impressed if you increase my info. Please explain
The 7 and 7+ passed though
I can't believe how dense some people are
Y do companies keep removing the headphone jack, what has it done?

Who else misses that metal design!! 😢 RIP
Rehaan Khan I love metal that's the reason why I've been stuck with my HTC 10 👍
Rehaan Khan - I do! Seeing the U11's build for the first time was a major turn-off... No way was I trading my HTC 10 for this one from the gate!
Rehaan Khan makes sense for phones with wireless charging, but the U11 doesn't even offer it, so it's pure design.
I actually miss the Polycarbonate design of the One X the most. Thought it's just super solid.
Kenneth Chong Po-ken But it definitely feels cheaper than metal!! Doesn't it!?
*sniff sniff... Sniff sniff* i can smell an Xperia XZ premium coming over the horizon.

Late but true. It takes a whole lot of force to make the phone bend, far beyond normal/accidental strength.

I was looking for this video since the phone's release, because durability, is a buy or not buy for me.
thank you, this stopped me from getting one.
Please test the Sony Xperia XZ premium when it comes out.
Don't all phone break if you bend it hard?
No, 90-95% of all phone's survive the bend test

Gave those phones to me and let me blend them and see if they can survive
@@rpgandhorrorloverhans uh, okay buddy lol. He bends with the same force on every video. Very few phone's don't survive and they are shit. Most phone's do
Kameron Jernigan
Try to use machine, if its human i don't believe its same force everytime 😃
Ever since the iphone 6 companies do alot of frame strenghthening
please do XZ Premium
6:46 tough decision Zack? For me the decision is very easy: no. Function before form. ALWAYS
Thanks for the durability test, still getting it for sure, it's a good thing to be aware off, people should be a tad more carefull when handling the phone, maybe there will be saphire version
Wow! This phone looks-
"No headphone jack."
-like shit.
Sony Xperia xz premium please 🙏
do Sony xperia xz premium please
Hi Jerry, thank you very much for wonderful durability test!
I wanted to request a durability test for the U11 plus if you can, that would be awesome.
Thank's :)
Congratulations on getting 1 million subscribers
test Xperia xz premium
band test xperia xz Premium ?
please tests Xperia zx premium
I just wanted to put my comment to counter your point (pressure). My u11 got run over by a full size SUV face up on an asphalt parking lot. It had no case on it. All that was broken was the cracking of glass back. Nothing else. No blemishes on screen, no dead pixels or spots, buttons, speakers, camera, edge sense work perfect. I just replaced the back and all is new. Tell me how many phones will survive that. This is a real world example.
Jerry stands corrected! HTC U11 does have a headphone jack. It it the USB C port, that doubles as a headphone jack. Awesome headphones come in the box with the phone. HTC also throw in there a 3.5mm audio to USB C connector, to use with standard headphones. The best of both worlds!
plzz show xz premium durability test in your next video
It is very disappointed to have without headphones jack and/or MicroSD card support
Sergio Bolaños/Sergiob466 it has an 3.5mm adapter with built in DAC in the box and it does have a Micro SD card slot and support up to 2TB cards.
XZ PREMIUM Bend test please!?
Jerry should start making iPad durability test
well thanks for the heads up, I'll have to take extra care of my new U11
Do the Xperia XZ Premium. If this phone failed your test, then I will be disappointed.
The only reason the phone bends with alot of pressure is because of that innovating edge sense makes the phone fragile and weak unlike the HTC 10 and a ridged case would still let u squeeze the phone obviously manufacturer's are gonna make the squeezing part of the usable still the best phone of the year tho
bruhs fer days S8 also has the edge screen which make it more fragile structure wise, and yet it still survived with almost zero flex. The best phone this year probably will be the iPhone Edition or Note 8.
bruhs fer days s6 s7 s8 has edge screen they more prone to scratches and bend but samsung manage to pass the bend tess..... And lumia have that squeeze able screen but they not bend why replaceable batteries lmao this is not the only htc phone that fail....
I disagree the S8's edges make it more fragile in the sense of bending, it still has metal side rails. It only makes it fragile in the sense of the screen cracking.
bruhs fer days innovative? my god you htc sheep
Nardine Kashani I'm not talking about edge screen I'm taking about the edge sense that part of the phone is weak that's why it bent as long as u don't bend the HTC U 11 ur good
xz premium?
"All THREE of you windows-phone users"
Zack, you throw the BEST subtle and nonchalant shade. #dying
Your videos make me not regret my S8 purchase
