Looked up other Huawei bend tests and they hold up well so I don't see why they'd make the 6p as weak as this video portrays. If it bent this really I think some reviewers would have bent theirs by accident.

The only thing that bothers me is the repair ability, of the phone, nexus 5 was easy to work on, I have the HTC one m8 and it was worse than the iPhone in Bend gate. I always use glass screen protectors and hard cases just in case I want to sell at some point down the road.

So irrelevant.... He does bend test after cracking screen

I like his scratch test.... But wow... Using an object like that it's expected to get scratches

I think the conclusion is not to bend your 6P if your screen is cracked :)
[Nexus 6P General] jcsww:
I think I will hold off on picking one up. Yeah, what the phone goes through in the video isn't considered average daily use, but it makes me think sitting on it by accident or a drop on concrete will seriously damage the device.
[Nexus 6P General] sluflyer06:
<Mod Edit> OMG if I try to bend a small object as hard as I can it will bend, holy crap! Are you serious! No way!

If you do something to a object that it was never designed to handle, bad things happen. Go run your car into a concrete barrier at 50mph and let me know how well it holds up, better sell it now because it didn't drive home afterwards. Get real, devices are designed to be used under normal circumstances if you put them in situations that they should never be in, they break. It's a reasonable expectation that you will not treat a $500 phone like a $2 trinket, if your dumb enough to sit on it or TRY to bend it, then you deserve to break it and be out of a phone.

End rant.

Lets face the facts Hawai is no comparison to Motorola, LG or Apple as far as quality goes, this is precisely the reason I held back to get the reports from the first batch of phones that were finally shipped. Blemishes, spacing where the camera sits next to the aluminum body, lose and chipped rocker switches and now the soft aluminum bending problem. If anyone thinks that a Chinese manufacturer (without US steering production and quality) can compete with Apple, LG, Sony, and Motorolla you are only kidding yourselves. Also the phone is not cheap. I am very disappointed in this release. The Nexus 6 at 399 is a much better phone period.

There are fanboys that will not look at the facts and just defend the flaws. Think to yourself are these manufacturing flaws and QC acceptable for a phone this much money?

This gives new meaning to the devices "bender" nickname, It's not about the visor anymore.

It looks like the bend tests are done in a different spot. The one that bent like crazy was done closer to the fingerprint sensors whereas the one that didn't bend was done in the middle. Just liek the iPhone 6 plus there may just be one point of weakness.

One thing to point out is he is not trying to bend the phone in the middle. He knows exactly where the battery ends and has his left thumb positioned there, which would be the weakest point. So he is taking advantage of that.
[Nexus 6P General] Phazmos:
Sure you're just not upset and ranting cuz you were lucky enough to get a beat device?

When you really look at it;

1 - The number of users in ALL the 6p threads is a small percentage, very small, of the entire xda user base.

2 - The entire xda user base is a small percentage compared to the number of devices I'm sure Google has sold.

3 - The number of users who got bum devices is a small percentage of the users in #1.

This seems to be a much more accurate picture.

Bummer you got a bad device - but cry to Google about it. Doesn't help ya doing it here.
[Nexus 6P General] chrisexv6:
Id also like to see if he is bending it right near where the screen cracked....again, "skewing" the results of the bend test.

I honestly think that crack line is more important than, say, where the battery pack ends (considering the battery pack is probably pretty bendable by itself)

If he had cracked the iPhone 6+ screen then tried to bend it, then we could compare. I noticed his YouTube channel has a ton of iPhone-oriented stuff (repair, etc) so it makes me wonder if he is a fanboy spreading haterade

Thank you. Maybe we should all go sabotage an iphone . make everyone think they are junk.

Huawei is not going to sabotage their name when trying to break into the US market. Let's be realistic. That's a demo model. And he is a hater of the nexus 6p.

Tragically phones like most electronics are not "investments" as they will pretty much decline in value the longer you have them.

[Nexus 6P General] alex9898:
It's pretty clear that this video is made to be sensationalistic.

The "scratching" part is totally dumb.

A Gorilla Glass is rated 6.5-6.8 on the Mohs scale, every material above that will scratch the screen and it's true for every phone that uses GG.

So what is the purpose to test it with a 8 or a 9, especially after seeing that a 7 scratch it (which is expected) ? To brake it, simple as that.

And then, bend a phone with broken glass ? Structural integrity is highly compromised here so, nothing to expect, it will broke easily.

[Nexus 6P General] monkey10120:
Worried for what reason?

I watched the dudes 6S+ video and it scratches easier on screen and backplate and is harder to bend without a cracked screen. And this is on a so called "Premium device".

Because screens are most the strength of the device when bending this whole thing is a troll bait. I am sorry but for this being a premium device I want my device to protect against scratches more than bending.
[Nexus 6P General] theTqM:
It's a structural system.

Both sides work together to create a rigid box section that lowers the bending moments.

Try it for yourself:

Get two empty closed pizza boxes.

Try bending one as is inward down the center.

Then make a slash clear across the lid of the other box, add some mid depth scoring marks if you want too. Then try to bend that box. It'll bend far easier because that lid is no longer structurally resistive to compressive loads. Just like cracked glass.

It's pretty basic structural engineering.
[Nexus 6P General] luciferiusXI:
You would go to a Google event and really try to break their phone lol?

---------- Post added at 10:05 ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 ----------

I agree with you that is easier to bend after screen breaks, but let's be honest, that metal is bending like a piece of paper... don't you agree? I hope they make some changes to second batch because is really scary. They changed something on the lg nexus 4 some years ago because too slippery. I hope they can do it again on this one, add an extra layer or something.
[Nexus 6P General] Banggugyangu:
One thing no one seems to be mentioning is that the "Bend Test" wasn't even a thing before the iPhone 6+. That's the phone that originally brought the concern to mind. The reason this was brought to mind is because it was .... wait for it.... BENDING IN PEOPLE'S POCKETS! Large and thin form factor + weak material such as aluminum = less force necessary to bend. Apple fixed that with the iphone 6s/+ by using an aluminum alloy. This increases the weight but also the durability. Even so, we're yet to hear about any real-world bending issues from those who already have their 6Ps, so that window from the 6+'s launch till "bendgate" has actually already passed. Because of this, I doubt we have much to worry about, unless you're hard on your devices.
[Nexus 6P General] theTqM:
Well it is aluminum. It could be twice the thickness and would bend almost as easily if it has no other structure.
[Nexus 6P General] ungraph:
<Mod Edit>

How hard is it to admit that Huawei messed up? There have been several reports of pink/yellow tinted displays. And no, stop trying to justify that it's an AMOLED problem and a "feature," it's a defect. Same goes with the bottom plastic cover not being properly flushed, inner camera lens scratches, dings and nicks on factory sealed units, etc.

Huawei's quality control is sketchy at most, I hope the shipping delays are due to them upping their QC and production.
[Nexus 6P General] designgears:
So, I actually have the device in hand. It's NOT easy to bend, it has been fine in my jean pockets for two days as well. Simply put, don't abuse your phone and you have nothing to worry about.

There is internal structure in the phone as well that is helping with that, as seen here.

If this video wasn't a charade (i fail to see how scratch / burn tests could be), then this is a total joke.

Normally I don't worry too much about bending, as most phones are actually fairly durable. But this is a large body, thin phablet ...

... sit down on it in your back pocket. It's done.

... sit down too quickly with it in front pocket of a tight pair of jeans and it'll look like a banana.

This is ridiculous.
[Nexus 6P General] alex9898:
Both. (I will have very hard times to explain that in English so sorry in advance)

a structure operates as a whole and the strength of the whole is greater than the sum of part.

Here, the phone is like a box. Basically, any force applied too it will be supported by parallel plans of the box (other part to, but I will simplify a little so I can explain it better). So if you brake one of them, the other will have to support the applied force alone.

And flat aluminium is not very hard to bend. (In fact, I'm pretty sure it's more flexible than glass).
