Can the Razr Plus *REALLY* crack with a single finger?

Time to Durability test a NEW Motorola Razr Plus. Get a 4-week trial, free postage, and a digital scale at www.stamps.com/jerryrig. Thanks to Stamps.com for sponsoring the show! We found a void under the screen of the Motorola Razr Plus (Also known as the Razor 40 Ultra outside of the USA) And today we find out if a bit of pressure can destory the new razr plus more easily than a regular phone.

[@mikoajkomorowski1290]

In the recent days, I started considering a switch to a Z Flip 5. However, I realized that I do like indoor climbing and that equals chalk that could get into the hinge and cause some issue, which is why (among few other reasons) I dropped this idea. I also realized that there are no resources I could find about chalk vs flip phone hinge. As I believe that there are a bunch of people who are into climbing, crossfit, powerlifting etc and would use chalk in their training, that would be amazing if you could include it into your durability test :)

[@iaincowell9747]

He did a test previous video on this phone with sand and it didn't seem to affect the phone.

[@mikoajkomorowski1290]

@@iaincowell9747 that's true, but sand has a different grain size and texture than chalk, that is finer and sticks to your DNA. Of course, if you drop a phone to the bag full of chalk, it'd cause problems, but would chalky hands or occasional sprinkle of chalk cause any damage to a hinge?

[@MajBurke]

Just curious do you think there might be a difference in durability depending on the use of the phone? By that I mean if you were doing some heavy task that heats the device up and then did this would it be just as reliable?

[@Hobo_X]

Try pressing a key ring into the void area and see if that breaks it with less pressure. Fingertips are very malleable so you spread that force out over a wide area. Imagine keys in your pocket and the key ring or even a key itself is against that spot in your pockets and you bend over for something. The metal has no give, all the pressure is concentrated.

[@dimitar4y]

he did break it with a finger before. Obviously this screen *is* weaker than others thou..

[@hhaste]

At that point, that would cause damage to any screen.. that also wasn't part of the problem the woman said she had, so.. kind of irrelevant

[@Ursus5848]

@@han5vk Any woman with a purse?

[@FixitFox]

It might have passed the initial test, but with long term pressure on and off, it could weaken and crack eventually. Would be interested to see how many cycles of pressing it takes for this to occur.

[@Noob_FPS]

It likely has to do with surface area / pressure. If the phone gets put into a pocket or a bag with other items such as pens, keys etc. then I could see a small amount of pressure directed at the spot of the cavity causing the screen to crack. Hopefully Jerry can perform this test again with a few house hold items.

[@carfo]

look up confirmation bias...his finger is going to apply way more pressure than a pen, keys etc...

[@podracer35]

Yeah, the test here didn't feel thorough enough. I'm all for phones being durable, but I think it'd be worthwhile to test just how much force it would take to break it if the finger test doesn't do the job. (But I do get that breaking multiple of these expensive phones for testing is not an appealing concept) Checking under the screen for the size of the void on this phone would also be a good bit of due diligence, in case the void size varies from device to device.

[@AhsanZafar]

if screen will crack with that

[@CASyHD.]

Well if a sharp object makes immense pressure at that point it obviuosly will fail and it is a weak spot but its not failing with pure normal use and thats the point here.

[@khamigen]

He tested if the glass is going to break under the force and leverage over it's own components (frame edge etc.). If you were to pierce it with an object sharp enough to shatter the glass, that would apply to any area, cavity or not. Zach has probably a bit more finger strength than most of us, so I would declare this as a pass.

[@DanLemire]

Amazing Zach!

[@AhmedSaad-uu2st]

Love the level of the curiosity

[@cwk0505]

Not exactly force, but pressure, will break the glass. Plus you need to apply the force at the centre of the void for maximum effect. I guess during the bend test, Zach's thumb was closer to the edge of the glass, where the void actually is. Also, only the very tip of his thumb was making contact so the pressure was much higher.

I think you had your thumb in the wrong place during this test. The void seems to be right near the metal bezal near the hing. If you rewatch the first durability test video, you'll see you had your thumb partly on that metal bezel, with the center of your finger directly over the void slightly back from where the glass and metal meet. Should try it again and see if it happens. Looked like you were too close to the center of the screen here and not directly over the void like you were before.

I was thinking the same thing he doesn't even go for a press near the edge of the screen which bugs me a little bit. Wonder if he received a message from Motorola telling him to do another video but not pushing on the void... interesting

My suspicion with the first one, is grains of sand in gap between the glass and metal by the hinge. Tempered glass is weaker at the edges, and maybe pressing those grains into the glass via the bend is what caused it to crack?
