- ROG has done it again! Get Unlimited everything for just 29 bucks with Tello HERE: bit.ly/tellojre Huge thanks to Tello for sponsoring this video. Most smartphones survive my durability test. However - Last year's ROG phone 5 failed pretty bad. I hoped that this years ROG 6 Pro would survive. But it looks like if you do nothing to fix the problem - you get the same results. The ROG phone 6 pro fails my durability test. The worlds most powerful smartphone - is among the weakest built smartphones on the planet.

Imagine being a phone waiting to be unboxed and expecting how you would be used for years and share awesome memories with your owner but you see this guy after getting unboxed.
Reminds be a bit of 'Sausage Party' when they found out the 'truth'.
LOL 😂
😂😂
probably too much watching Toy Story.
i like it too
A phone's nightmare
for a gaming phone, being rage proof is a must
100%
Hahahaha so true
lol that's their marketing strategy. make it fragile enough and gamers have to buy another one
Yep, almost bend my phone back then
A MIL-STD1K standard endorsed and enforced in all kind of devices.
Who knew ROG was trying to get into the bendable smartphone market...
💀
Brutal af
well they failed catastrophically.
xD
Apparently they determined foldables ARE all they're cracked up to be.......

7:34 "join the Republic"? Hmm, sounds like palpatine is recruiting early.
When the flip phones have more durability than a candy bar format phone, you know you're in for a good time.
Especially when talking about most ROG Phones...
i dont think these phones got weaker, i think zach just got stronger
No he has a normed/standard palm strength xD
Nah the phone structural strenght is trash not worth my money
😂
His name is Zack ;)
He has dad strength.
I wanna watch jerry try to heat up the underdisplay fingerprint scanner, just wondering if the scanner will work even if there is amoled burn
I think it depends on the type of fingerprint scanners. Ultrasonic scanners may still work, but optical scanners probably not
Depends if its optic or ultrasonic
I second this idea
@@marianne9221 then try it for both sensors i guess. It would be a nice experiment

One of the things you'd definitely want your gaming phone to have is durability because it may often experience rageful activities by the users
Nah man u just have unresolved anger issues lmao
@@dawey8897 some rich spoiled brats just never resolve their anger issues my friend.
After so many years and I still wait for it in every durability video... scratches at a level 6, with deeper grooves at a level 7!
I’m waiting for the phone where theres scratches at a level 7 with deeper grooves at a level 8
@@AlphaAlfaX You could have that today but, the screen would be more susceptible to shattering. There is a trade off between shatter and scratch resistance and this seems to be the best ratio engineers have currently come up with.
@@AlphaAlfaX There already was at least one phone with these properties on the channel (Kyocera, I don't remember the exact model).
@@AlphaAlfaX there is video already
@@AlphaAlfaX watch iPhone 14 video
i knew the phone would bend during the test, but knowing and still feeling pain while seeing it happen hits different... that really hurt y'know :O
Yea
Im just wondering how did these bending phones got past quality control.

The companies sponsoring Jerry: “Fetch me their souls!”
Thats a cool ROG Flip 6 you have there 👍👍
The downside is just it cannot be un flipped. 😂
I think it can be but that might be the last time you have one device in your hand as it might turn one into two xD
😂😂😂😂 my mom still hates me and family bonding has been non existent since my birth 😂😂😂😂😂
@@GTAracingUK 😂😂😂😂I murdered a man in Missouri 35 years ago😂😂😂😂
Not exactly the same, but this came to mind when I read this comment:
"Anything's a foldable if you try hard enough."
Oh it can be un-flipped.
I thought I'd get used to the scratching sound if I watched your videos for long enough. I was wrong. That sound still goes right through me.
The combination of CC [c] and Mute [M] is unbeatable. Timing the mute properly certainly makes the video more "interactive" 😅
@@Fireplasm21 😂😂😂😂
I know right😂😭
Every time he breaks out the razor blade, my headphone volume wheel spins.
It's one of those sounds that hurts my teeth. I'm not sure how to explain that lol.
Just wondering jerry, why don't you do water resistance testing, would be very informative especially on phones claiming water resistance.
Oh wow, never even thought of that. Guess he'll have to add a new segment where he dunks a phone into a bowl of water to see if it survives.
He won't be able to do a proper tear down then..
"The top of the phone has nothing just like Ye afternpast week" really got me 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
I don’t understand the reference, anyone care to clue me in? I was really curious about that.
@@fredmalito9869 kanye lost a lot of money. that’s where it is coming from.
this aged well
He was wrong for that lmaoooooo
I like how Zack tests the durability of these phones so we don't have to
99.9% of the world will never do this to their phone in any scenario, so...
@@valentinule i mean it bending when its in ur back pocket can happen faster than you might think
I knew someone would menion "bEnDinG in ThE BacK POckeT" . Just don't keep the phone in the back pocket, who tf even does that
I've literally never sat on my phone
@@pepega3344 Mostly girls, but even they are smart enough to take it out...
I imagine a phone, being opened by Jerry, acting like the jar of mustard from Sausage Party when he went to the customer's house and was returned to the store. Horrified
LMAO those smooth and sick burns by Zack are so fire! That one on Ye was had me pause the video to finish my laughter hahah thanks man, you're a legend!
If your friends steal buttons you must find new friends. - Jerry rig 2022
the way he just mercilessly yet calmly bends the phone like a table tennis table, is scary
06:21 - "The top of the phone has nothing, just like Ye after last week." Damn.
That box reminds me of some of the more eye-catching packaging that PC games would come in during the late 90s.
He's like the "whistlingdiesel" of cell phones durability testing.
You mean whistlindiesel?
Those bends are terrifying. I've had the battery in a phone go off doing that.
Rog phones aren't in the middle, so no problem there for this model at least
how do you manage to bend a phone like that?
What phone was that
@@dhc2 some people are earth benders some are air benders. He is a phone bender. Nothing special about it
Maybe J's bending strength has increased after all the test exercises 😹
He needs to be tested

I've got myself an ROG6 end of last year... last for 3 months and in repair for 6 months for a motherboard problem, so last week, I've got the bad news that it died. And with additional money, I've got myself a Z Fold 4. Been using it for a week now.

Was so sure the phone would fail the bendtest, yet I still braced for it.
"Was so sure the phone would fail the bendtest"
Oh, you saw the thumbnail too?
@@mjc0961 I didn't, actually. Or at least didn't pay enough attention to it to see it was broken in the thumbnail.
Funnily enough the samsung flip and fold both passed....
Dude, Zachy Boy IS the "theneedledrop" o' Tech YT.
He(could be either) NEEDS more subs dude!
JRE should make that legendary Apple Watch Ultra vid update did, but to his standards.
@@adityabhujbal6891 am actually hoping he will do the apple watch ultra. Anything claimed sapphire is always a bit extra interesting and exciting.
Great video! And I love that calendar! 😂
Well I have one, got it on release here in Australia. Great phone, didn't realise it would become a Galaxy Fold, but that's okay! Thanks for the video Zac
Good luck using it after an year. These phones don't last long. I lost mineROG 5 after an year. It had worst kind of hardware quality you may think of. Like local Chinese brand.
Please look after it. I would hate for it to end up like this one.
@@Ravi_Qant using mine for 1.5 years now.
Still going smoothly even after falling dozen of times.
Either you got unlucky with a bad product or you need to take better care of your phone.
@@andrewtimothy9792 same here... I can't say anything about this phone. It still works incredibly great and is super smooth. Battery is still superb too
@@andrewtimothy9792 how often do you play heavy games on it? I even have it's cooling fan to keep it cool while gaming. Well search motherboard issue in ROG, you'll get multiple cases.
It's much more painful to see him scratching the box with the blade, than him snaping the phone in half.
Your voice though so deep and calm,and also strong and clear
We have the most durable phone ever made
JerryRig: Hold up my beer😅
You once said the lighter burn test is just tradition but my brother once left his phone near a fire and his entire screen was black but then recovered after
Still rocking my Rog 3, rock solid phone and still runs everything. i havent upgraded to the next ones because of this channel snapping them in half hahah
That calendar brought a smile to my morning! 😂
“Just like Ye after last week” This guy gets me everytime! 😂
Your test freaks me out! I am just waiting for the LiPo's in the phone to short out & ignite your hands!
Hello Zack, just wondering if you could also add/do IP-rating test as part of Durability test 🤔.
You kind-of did it for folding phone with sand/rock/dust.
IP test do not give immediate results, and they are mostly deceiving. like submersion under water for 30 min - so if I keep phone under water for 29 min, take it out and then put again under water for 29 min will it survive? scratch test is for the dust scratches.
Burn test seems kinda useless but a "overheating test" or a "water damage test" would add a ton to these reviews
@@GuitarSlayer136 Some people have pointed it's actually very useful for people living in hot climates like Utah or Arizona for example, where they've left their phone in a car or somewhere, it got very hot and messed up their screen, so having a phone that can survive being hot for a while would be very beneficial for those people.
@@vgamesx1 Arizona heat is not a bic lighter with all of the particulates and chemicals burning your screen at temperatures the sun couldn't induce in a hyper localized area.
I get how the current findings can be somewhat usefull in niche situations but a better version of the test would benefit everyone imo.
@@vgamesx1 ..... Lol
"The top of the phone has nothing , just like Ye after last week" I felt that 😂😂😂
An ode to "Golden Girls".... classic.😁 Really enjoy your videos and subtle and not so subtle jokes.😂🤣😂🤣
So subtle "The top of the phone have nothing. Just like Ye after last week" 🤣😂
Jerry turned it into a z fold💀
😂
Rog fold*
jerry is right in testing how much punishment can this phone take i mean its a gaming phone buyers will be having rage moments during a bad game and they will tend to throw or mash the screen
I was like, ‘Did ROG release new phone?’ 🤣
Zack keep track of only ROG's phones every year pretty exciting!😂😂
That calendar is so charming! xD
I'm happy that you finally tested this phone.
I used the rog phone 1 since it was released and a few months ago i decided to get the upgrade.
I'm now using the rog phone 6 Pro for about 2 months and so far I'm loving it. Even if it fails the durability test, it's strong enough for me. I'm used to be very careful with my phones.
But i have to say that I'm a little upset, that mine didn't came with that screen protector.
Did you buy it in the physical store or Online shops?And is there a Cooler as a freebie?
@@aztec_3954
I bought it online.
The cooler is normally not included, but when I bought it in the Asus online Shop, they included an free cooler for every order.
@@Sortac really? That's nice cuz some people say that when you buy it on physical store they will not include the cooler. I'm planning on buying next year and I want the cooler as freebie 😁
@@Sortac can you give me the shop link?
@@aztec_3954
in my country the phone was released in september. So it was a limited action that everyone who pre-ordered in August got the cooler as a freebie.
I wish you the best of luck, that they will do something similar again, but i think it's most unlikely.
I'm really upset that LG quit making phones because the phone that I'm talking to you on right now has been run over by an 18-wheeler and I didn't know it but the whole back of it is glass is shattered and the phone still works fine
Anyone remember the Xperia Active? People were trying to destroy it by running it over with Jeeps and smashing it with hammers, couldn't be done.
LG phones were the shit! Damn things could survive anything and were super reliable. It's a shame they got outsold by crappy phones that were just marketed better.
@@solaris218 Apple would be a good example of a crap company
Yeah, I just replaced my G8X after updates seemingly intentionally slowed the phone to a crawl.
I've been using them for years after Windows phone died and before when they were $20 pay-as-you-go flip phones.
@@nchmusic99 I just got one for my work phone a couple months ago.
To sum it up, it operates like a Android phone, but worse- I don't understand the hype and cult following.

"The top of the phone has nothing, just like Ye like last week." Brother you didn't have to murder the guy like that even though it's true.🤣
Was about to comment, glad you did. Lol. 😆
I did NOT expect that comment. Burst out laughing.
Rocking the Golden Girls calendar ! love it! Man, thats disappointing how weak this is for the price. Gaming phones look so robust but lots more points of failure on them. If the ZFlip can pass the bend test, a phone that doesn't fold should be able to haha...
@John O'Neill totally!
the frames, i blame the frames, the frames is slim, and thats why it bends like that, they didnt reinforce it, they just use the last gen frame and put new stuff in it.
@@wanstarz Right, the frame also has too many weak spots like the many antenna lines and the charging port on the side. And I guess that the buttons are removable doesn’t help here.
It folds, just not intentionally
Yeah it’s really dumb becos gamers rage throw and try to break their phone so this phone isn’t really for gamers…
*Jerry when buying a new car:*
- goes to the dealership

The Box design is WOW 😍
The box design is garbage. It's even less "trendy" than the box design for the Genius DeathTaker mouse, eons ago. As much as it hurts to say it, Apple still has the last word in box design. If they'd apply the same logic to "hip" and "cool", maybe it would look and function better.
ROG always impresses me. I like the cyberpunk trend they've leaned into.
@@aserta wtf u drunk? Iphone box looks like box for $50 phone
It seems like ASUS is not watching JerryRigEverything videos unlike most other manufacturers!
Phone designers are some of the most incompetent and "last year" people around. Have you seen a spread of phone designs from the last half decade? They basically look the same, and not just externally.
As for their engineers... gutless. I think i've seen toy manufacturers with better engineers than these guys. It takes less force to bend this joke of a phone than it takes to break a long LEGO brick. Heck, you'd hurt your fingers trying to bend one of those.
Funny thing is the solution would be so simple, and already common in lightweight, narrow item design. Either a hardened metal rod or a carbon fiber rod. Some super narrow plastic shelves have carbon fiber rods inside them when cast. Aesthetic design doesn't need to be hindered if your engineer team is top notch. You can have a wafer thin phone, but if your team's made of glue sniffers... no comment.
but ,no one accidentaly bend their own phone.
"The top of the phone has nothing, just like Ye after last week" 💀💀💀
That’s a bar! Came looking for this comment
What about tab S8 ultra's teardown video it has been quite a while since the previous durability test. Interested to see samsung's blackmagic
Is it too much to ask for a steel frame? Even Apple finally somewhat fixed the 5 years of bend-gate with stainless steel frames on the pro models. Feels good to have a thin yet heavy phone. And it helps with the drop durability too from its rigidity.
Oh wow. I didn’t know that phone existed. It looks really cool! That actually reminds me of the old days when each phone was unique. I miss that. I might like to go for that!
@@moonshot9056 Who does that to a phone though. Most of the results from Jerry's testing are irrelevant to real world use. Who has ever had a flame on their phone display, for example? For people who don't bend or sit on phones, why would they be worried about this bend test?
@@andoletube Yeah but its still nice to have phone that is solid and CAN survive the bend test at the very least.
@@moonshot9056 I don’t routinely try to snap my phones in half, maybe that’s just me. I highly doubt daily use would see this phone bent like that even if you did sit on it.
@@moonshot9056 Guess I'm just gentle on my phone. I never had any incident which endangered the survival of my phone.
It looks stupid. The kind of thing a 10 year old would like
Love the Golden Girls calendar!
ROG - "LOOK HOW THEY MASSACRED MY BOY!"
"scratches at a level 6, with deeper grooves at a level 7"
I want that tattooed on me 😍
You honestly have the very best reviews that simultaneously teach the phone specs and display it’s durability and build. I always look forward to seeing you dig into a device… with a Razer blade. You’re the real Razer blade pro.
Or the upcoming Razer edge
This phone would be the best gaming phone if it was rage-resistant
"There's a shortage of perfect phones in the world and it would be a pity to damage this one."
I see what you did there and I applaud you, sir.
I would be interested to see how much an OtterBox case would effect this thing overheating.
I wonder if putting a hefty case on it would trade temperature for durability
What makes it interesting is that he's doing it with bare hands, and none of the broken glasses has seemed to cut or pierce his skin. This proves that not all phones he tested survived his durability test, but his hands will always will
Not everything is meant to withstand Jerry’s torture test 😂
Who is jerry
Jerry is Zack's grandfather... Zack named the channel after his grandfather
No matter how expensive it is. At certain point of expensive it's dumb, circles back to stupid.
Would be great to add some real world test before the torture test. For example dropping the phone off a table to see who it does. Also I think a phone should be evaluated as it comes from the box for example for this phone not removing the added protective layer on the screen at first and putting the case that it came with on.
We all waiting for ROG Phone 7 test!
8:54 I didn't expect it to snap in half so easily .
Everyone that has seen the previous model knew this would be the same before he bent it.
That's what she said
i mean hes strong and i dont think a girl with small arms is gonna be able to snap it in half on accident
@@parkappanigga strong or not, your body weight is probably just as strong if you accidently sit on it at a weird angle.
Just don't bend your phones??
As a heavy mobile gamer these gaming phone companies should take notes from rugged phones.
what games u play im also a heavy mobile gamer i play pc games on my phone and alot of mobile games too
and emulators
@Anand soo hevey
It looks more ergonomic bent like that in your hand. reminds me of old flip phone days.
It is, the LG G-Flex was my favorite phone in the hand. Sad to see that idea and LG go away.
Toughness is exposed through your channel. Love it always. I think before phone companies advertise their toughness shoud be after their phones landed on jerryrig's hands.
Hi Zack, unfortunately my ROG Phone 6 Pro bent exactly on the USB port in my front pocket and it broke the whole backside. I shared my experience on Reddit and contacted Asus. Asus did not want to acknowledge their design error and I had to pay €400 to fix my phone... FYI: My phone was inside a transparant TPU case.
Damn ...that's too bad.
I guess premium price should get premium service.
Maybe asus should give customer to buy accidental damage protection like lenovo laptops.
I would of just got a better phone like a Samsung
Sadly, that's the level of customer service one should expect when dealing with Anus. They're known as one of the worst companies when it comes to customer service for a reason.
@@theo5675 Samsung phones may have expanded battery too lol
Jerry is like the afterlife of all smartphones 🤣
Shame it failed the durability test. It's such a cool looking phone
Why is it a shame? Do you plan on purposely bending the phone in half? No? Then like everyone else on the planet who isn't breaking phones for clicks, it'll be just fine.
@@larkan511 you would think like that if you never accidentally sit on a phone on a bed or sofa.
@@larkan511 You do realize this is in fact a problem, right? The test isn't even that extreme, it can literally happen if you sit down with your phone in your back pocket.
@@kadrix732 Kind of a dumb move to be honest though. I've never one sat on my phone. And it's not even comparable forces, unless you're sitting on a rigid protruding object in the center of the screen and your butt cheek pressed from the other side at the top and bottom of the phone, all while you don't feel a thing.
@@_BangDroid_ I mean, obviously you shouldn't sit on your phone. But in case you forgot you put it in your back pocket or something, it's good to know it definitely will survive, you know?
My heart: you are no mercy !
Me (in my head) : another successful broke
For this price point especially it would be expected to be much more durable.
Nah im not wasting my money
I mean, unless you are using lighters to burn your screen and using knives around your phone, you will be fine.
Have you seen how easy an iPhone breaks
First time watching. This is a whole different world, I like it.
When he compared the two ROG phones in 3:33 I could imagine the ROG 5 telling his successor: "your fate is already sealed"
I waited for your test cause my phone is always on my back pocket and I had some break. Too bad for this one. Was hoping it would have done better this time. No rog for me😔
well that's because you sit on it 😂
Just don’t put in the back 😂 most common pocket to get pickpocketed from too
These durability tests are not practical. They are mostly for fun.
Arguably the back pocket is literally The Worst place to put your phone on.
I highly suggest changing that habit of yours 😅🤣
People who put their phone in their back pocket are a different breed I swear, literally the worst place to put your phone for so many different reasons.
everyone struggling to make folding phones, because they cant bend gla-
These phones break so fast, internals bad too, I've had 3 Asus ROG phones and all of them had vibration issues, sim card issues and screen issues, and I had a beefy protector case and glass protector, still broke, all of them.
If the main screen was placed on the back it would have passed Jerry's bend test 😂😂😂

Shoulda worked harder in school

"Has nothing, like Ye after last week"
Besides his priceless legacy, of course. The easiest way to control a man is through his ego - with trinkets, toys, and prizes.
Such a shame for the world's most powerful smartphone to date but at least JRE made me aware of the fragility of the phone, bendwise, so best measures to protect it and allow it to last 5-10 years as a primary day-to-day phone can be made. Thanks JRE. Requested this video before, shame the result is similar to last year, but still thanks for showing the limitations. Keep up the great videos.
If I may ask a question: What is your criteria for the most durable well-rounded, phone and what phone since you started these tests comes closest? Perhaps you have a Top 5 list? Would love to see a video on this.
P.S. Love the Golden Girls calendar, haha. Cheers, God bless and stay safe.
