Pixel 2 Durability Test! - Scratch and BEND tested...

Customize your phone HERE: dbrand.com/reverse-panda Thanks to dbrand for sponsoring this video. The Pixel 2 has arrived on my desk. Which is probably the last place a cell phone wants to be. I will be performing a series of durability tests on this poor pixel. We will see what the 'kinda blue' color is made out of, and if the hybrid coating announced with the google pixel is metal or not.
HERE Is the pixel 2 XL durability test: • Pixel 2 XL Durability ...

I love how wireless charging was cool in 2013, and then died out because it was basically a fad, but as soon as Apple puts it in an iPhone, everybody thinks every phone HAS to have it now. My Droid Maxx has wireless charging and in 2018, i still don't use it.

Dude you cant even say that the AI thing is new for that phone because soon all and better android phones will have it, heck even iphones will have (Assistant is on the iphone and so is other google software). This seems to me like a half ass phone to copy the iphone. If google want to get into the phone business, they should have suck with the Google edition phones they had a few yrs ago (like the samsung and htc phones before, imagine a google edition v30 or s8/note 8)

[@Nvbeatz]

BobinFlobo iPhone will get way more attention since it's fan base is much much bigger so no surprise for me. I'm sure people don't like this about the pixel but you just don't hear it as much cause it's not that as popular as iPhone.

Gandalfwiz2007 it's cool that you were trying to agree with me but I think you misunderstood my comment. I have this phone and I absolutely love it both the Note 8 and the Google pixel to have ups and downs and disadvantages to each other but all in all I much prefer the pure Android of the Google pixel the camera is much better than the Note 8 which my aunt has and she likes to take pictures with my phone more anyway, I'm not trying to argue with you just simply telling you why I prefer the Google pixel 2 XL it's a really really good phone and I personally love it and have had for about 2 months

[@tribalwar117]

Ally Reed as you got the phone and paid nearly 1k for it I'm gonna have to write that down as a clear bias. Opinions from someone who invested in it as much as you did aren't that valuable I'm afraid. Its a good phone but the advantages you name can be had for far less money and you know it. I'm being a bit of a hypocrite though as my Google pixel 2 XL is coming in tomorrow :).

To be practical, IP67 and IP68 are not very much different at all. It's not water proof, meaning whether you take it in 1m(ip67) depth or 1.5m(ip68) depth water, chances are it may not survive in either case.

I had the phone with a case for a month and dropped it many times during that month and it didn't scratch or crack, also no color was absorbed from my jeans. Although I would still recommend a case as it doesn't feel all that sturdy. But without a case the phone feels so nice so idk.

[@JR-hs4ir]

SuperFroakie Poor waterproofing? So you can’t go one and a half meters only one lol and you could get a water resistance case too. They make dongles for headphone jacks and you even get one for free. Funny thing is, my iPhone 8 plus sounds better through the adapter than my pixels 3.5 mm jack. And wireless charging? Convenient, but completely unnecessary. You know what doesn’t fix bad software? Wireless charging and headphone jacks - looking at you Samsung and LG.

[@artyfly100]

Joseph Rego I'm happy with my Xperia XZs. It has an headphone jack and a camera with settings you can actually use. The pixel is basically on par with my 2013 original Xperia Z if it was running Oreo.

[@fugue137]

Thank you! Very useful! Except that I got the XL. Any plans to test it? Very curious about the bend test. Speaking of which: could you be more quantitative there? Supported on the ends, how much load at the centre can it take before e.g. waterproofness is compromised? I actually like the paint back. Good texture, and doesn't slide off things as easily as some. And I don't spend much time admiring the back of the phone, so it's allowed to scratch easily ;)

Lance Stinson The Pixel 2 and the Pixel 2 XL are manufactured by different companies, as Google doesn't make hardware. The regular sized version is produced by HTC, and the XL by LG.

[@arez4604]

Also, Samsung provides the display for the Pixel 2 and LG for the XL. I repair devices for Google and LG is one of the reasons why the XL is having issues.

[@DerpDerp27]

Both are shit

[@nickhallowell4352]

I was about to switch to the pixel 2 xl from a 6s now you're making me second guess my decision lol

Did you go through with it?

Thanks for this video. I cancelled my order of pixel 2 watching this video. I already made one mistake not reviewing i-phone 6+ (bending issue with bigger i-phone), not going to repeat same mistake again. I was suffered a lot with I-phone 6+ bending issue. Running to apple store so many times, wait long for your turn to come, wait till they work on your phone, some time restore your phone, loosing your saved stuff accidentally :(. Lots of hectic in your busy schedule.

Bring Back NEXUS you pixelheads!!!

[@naefahmed92]

Looks like zack changed my mind from buying a pixel. I am a hardware guy too and I need well built phone.

[@talhamalik4910]

Naef Ahmed All that happened was that the paint cracked and scratches slightly easier than bare aluminum

[@BrandoMan]

Techlord Really, I get parinoid if I see a crack on my phone, A CRACK?!?! I have the V30 and I can swim with it, sit on it and listen to music while charging my phone, 3 practical things the pixel 2 cant do. Just a crack, psh, fangirl much?

[@Zelda1548]

It wasn't even just the paint itself that cracked, it ruined the water resistance which isn't even top of the line water resistance either.

[@linusmlgtips2123]

Brandon Burslie Your phone also has a meh display, worse software

[@cooltwittertag]

Brandon Burslie You can do all three things of that. Do you really just listen to one person and believe everything he says? You are an idiot. That IP67 just makes a difference of 50cm and I don't think that you will swim 1.5m under sea.

[@MrrQuackers]

Please test the 2 XL. I'm really interested if it fairs better.

[@jnallard]

Have you done a durability test on the pixel 2 XL? since i've heard they where manufactured by two different compagny (Lg/Htc) i was wondering if one was more resistant on the bend test or the fingerprint reader scratch

[@niftythelynx]

Damn this is disappointing.

[@steveparaiso5224]

Specially that weak point.. feels like with only just one flick and the water resistant is gone

[@years1074]

:(

[@everyonespro]

NiftyTheLynx Google pixel 1 is better than pixel 2

[@stefanwenk]

Thank you Zack!! For speaking your mind and giving your two cents. Android has always been about Versatile feature-rich devices!!! Get these iClones outta here!!!

[@kshitijchari]

Hey Jerry just curious what do you do with the phones after the durability tests ?

[@jonathanlathrop2001]

The Pixel 2 XL seems to have a different body design that could be much better over all, including none of the little plastic antenna bands, and a curved glass edge. Can you do a test on the XL please?

[@avicohen2k]

Wow.. they should really fear your videos. Goodbye pixel2

[@zacharybatten]

not really, I love my 6P and no durability video has made it trash for me

[@brandonjohnson4121]

Goodbye? Still pre-ordered the 2 XL. I don't plan on taking a knife to it or intentionally trying to bend it in half, so it should be perfectly fine. Especially if I put a case on it like I have with every phone I've ever owned.

[@l.k5244]

Brandon Johnson Even if yoy manage to get over the pathetic durability, you still cannot make up for the outdated screen design with massive bezels, limited memory, lack of headphone jack and wireless charging; some gotta-have android flagship features.

[@John3one7]

Brandon Johnson There's always the chance you may hold your lighter to it for 15 seconds. Better think carefully.

[@brandonjohnson4121]

Layth Alkhaer Haven't used a headphone jack in years, the bezels on the XL are very small for a phone with squeezable sides and front facing stereo speakers, I wouldn't use wireless charging when fast charging is available, and there's plenty of memory.

[@AhmedA-cc5sb]

I’ll never do any of this shit or the tear down stuff but I’ve still watched like 20 of your videos this week wtf is wrong with me

[@ironfist9414]

Its his voice.

[@Andrewx4]

Redmi note 4 durability test..?

[@Foolery99]

There was a slight error with what you said with no dual camera being a step back -- the Pixel 2 accomplishes with 1 camera what other phones need two to do, which is very reliable for the back facing camera but is sometimes iffy with the front.

[@JL-uy1ye]

Shame on you google!!!

[@Ryan-cg3yu]

Milan Jovanovic what's so bad about Google? They'restealing everyone's information?

[@ZorieZorieZorie]

Everyting you said is true. While they do censor some stuff in autocomplete (mostly due to the probably innapropiate and criminal results it may have, like 'murder', or 'rape') you can still workaround to access thus information, But yes, they should be completely transparent with their information, they're the source of research for 90% of people with access to the internet. Just because they have it doesn't mean it's true. However, an observation: I'm pretty sure murdering anyone that works for Google (thousands) is WAY worse than Google's censorship.

[@obrolanmalam66]

Milan Jovanovic YOU KOMUNIS ☭? I HATE YOU

[@joshuvaantonio]

As a Software Company they are the best! They shouldn't had teamed up with Htc to manufacture this stupid thing

[@ezraelcarbonilla]

Milan Jovanovic Shut Up! Your complaining like you've done something great.

[@taunusv4power]

i really doubt nokia, sony, samsung and LG will stop making phones with headphone jacks. specially sony because they sell tons of wired headphones every minute. the headphone jack and dedicated camera button is enough for me to own one

[@joshuvaantonio]

This video proves that Google is only good at Software. Google should had teamed up with Sony for manufacturing their phones instead of relying on Htc.

[@OldAbio]

Thank you Jerry! One to get off my list for sure now :)

[@daxfrost5942]

Does the Pixel 2 XL have a bend test video? This is important to me :D

[@danielcwc]

They made fun of the iphone 7 last year for not having the headphone jack, and what do they do the year after? Take out the headphone jack of cause!

[@tlf361]

+Techlord Someone's triggered... It obviously was a typo that got autocorrected...

[@dpkd]

All phone manufacturers should take into account the zack's test before they even think about making new phone. Wow, google pixel 2 is a failure for sure.

[@amazingman333]

Deepak Dangol I totally disagree, that's where manufacturers go wrong, trying to please all these youtube blog reviewer's. Some test & reviewers are relevant and some are dumb, like who is going to burn their phone screen, etc. Antenna lines appear to be badly placed allowing a slight bending on one side but he doesn't verify if only the plastic coating cracked or did the metal underneath also break. Then says it may allow water in but no test is done for that.

[@JasonHoogerhyde]

Yeah sure. You realize his videos probably have basically 0% effect on their sales right? They can care less what he does/says.

[@hoen2009]

Cal C pretty much, I was once in an attraction and the safety things (how you call it) pressed so fucking hard on my phone and leg I thought my phone was going to break. Luckily I have an ZTE axon 7 full metal body, but I have the feeling this thing (google pixel) would break apart.

[@Shmeeters]

Literally more than half the things good about the pixel 2 is software, wireless charging is overrated, literally the headphone and the bendability are the only things to be somewhat concerned about, his review is trash lol

[@theburger9060]

Ishmeet Tuteja headphone jack actually helps the phone, as using the charging port for charging and listening to music destroys it twice as fast. If you use bluetooth headphones, it will drain the battery so the headphone jack is actually pretty important, at least to me it is

[@aghyad3650]

Why don't you make a rate of the drubility of each phone so we can know which one is the strongest

[@libra_v3]

kaizoko aoo - he makes durability awards in the end of the year, so does that count
