LG G6 Durability - Drop test, Bend test, Scratch test - Tough Test

[@How2Tech]

I am always open to suggestions how to better simulate use in these tests. The goal is see how this phone would hold up over time not saying these tests would be one days worth of use or this is how YOU would treat your phone. When I purchase a phone things that I am concerned about is how easily the phone will scratch in my pocket or backpack not just the glass, the bezel and other surfaces (jet black iPhone scratches like crazy) I am interested to see how sturdy the phone is to flexes in the frame and bending. How does the phone react to drops? Even if the phone has a certain type of Gorilla Glass the way the phone is manufactured, whats behind the screen causing pressure, what adhesive is used, is it curved that decreases the stability of the glass all play a factor in how "shatter resistant" it is. If you have feasible ides for tests you would like to see I would like to hear them. Yes these are not lab tests but the lab is also not real life.....

[@MarkLapasa]

I love your pragmatic approach. I thought I was the only one who carried deck screws in the same pocket as my cell.

[@sandukanec]

Love the moment when the tile broke :)

[@How2Tech]

I know right!

[@havextree]

tile is ceramic, hardness is high. Also sand is mostly quarts also very hard. That's why those two scratch glass so easily.

[@phosphor112]

Sammie Malesci Yup. Ceramic has a hardness of 7 Mohs. GG3 can go up to 6 mohs. The scratches from the tile could have compromised the integrity of the front.

[@enbardis]

Wow...finally some science to explain stuff.

[@xistencestudios8904]

Sand is mostly Silicon-DiOxide

[@ddrjay]

the front face glass cracked bc no bounce. the phone is flush all around, so no bounce=no fun. bounce alleviates some of the energy. all you need is a thin case with lips around the front edge and you're pretty much solid.

[@yanisbenchara3006]

very good ideas how you simulate real world conditions , i wish we will see more phone tests from you , good luck

[@How2Tech]

Yes 100% you will. I just ordered the G5 plus and have the S8 and S8 Plus on preorder. I am going to take this series a little further and show repairing a broken phone with new glass so be on the lookout for that!

[@HIIMUsc]

great video, glad that i've preordered some temperedglass and an UAG case :D

[@ItNeverHurtToThink]

You had me at rock tumbler. Clever and very helpful video!

[@RyanBeardsworth93]

Don't be discouraged by the fan-boying here. G6 doesn't appear to have fared too well with your tests, but it's impossible to know without subjecting other devices to the same tests. Only suggestion is just to make sure that the tests are replicated earnestly on each device, and if you make changes to the formula it might be worth going back and reevaluation recently tested devices. Only thing I would mention is lighting and detailed views. Watching this on a slightly dimmed laptop display, all of your shots look like just a slab of phone with not much detail. Maybe a lighting/background issue? For what it's worth, your tests seem much more realistic than some of the other channels out there. The pocket test seems so flukey that it may not be worth doing, but the tumble and drop tests are great.

[@How2Tech]

It is nice to get actual constructive feedback! I appreciate it!

[@nickgmoney]

awesome video man, and great test range and setup. just need to mix the voice over a little louder. my volume was maxed and it was still very quiet

[@akombalasau4022]

@2:13 which color receives more scratches on the bezels or sides, the black one or the silver or white??

[@vimalvarghese1754]

Hai ,could you please make a drop test video for LG G7/+

[@thomasmckenna]

the phone has gorilla Glass 3 on the front and gorilla Glass 5 on the back. there are disputes over whether the camera is covered by 3 or 4. But that's why the front smashed so easily

[@BertoJA876]

Thomas the camera glass has to be 3.. mine was scratched up from a dusty table😫😲

[@MFillmore]

Well I guess I'm getting a glass screen protector and a good case. My lg g3 which I have been using for a very long time now had gorilla glass 3 and I never had a problem with it cracking or scratching the camera lens. Of course I used a screen protector and a case for it.

[@juniore101]

Thomas All tempered glass has about the same scratch resistance but yes camera lenses are covered by Gorilla Glass 4

[@thomasmckenna]

Nesti C. Yes but I was talking about resistance to shattering

[@solidn6]

WTF was LG smoking when they decided to use gorilla glass 3 for the front rather than gorilla glass 5? Why the fuk use it for the back when most people care more about the screen scratching?

[@nayeemhaque1064]

5:48 The LG G6 takes revenge on tiles! lol

[@daveangeloobico7028]

Do a drop test with spigen rugged armor pls ;-;

[@BMW_DAILY]

Why did you open the rock tumbler capsule with the Styrofoam hiding the phone?

[@MrMRforever]

Your drop test is the best 👍

[@xistencestudios8904]

The front of the phone can break as a fluke , saw a reviewer also saying that the phone droped from a small height and broke . I had my Q6 drop from hand height to concrete floor with a glass screen protector and it did not break the phone . I have changed my screen protector 3x now and it was worth getting one

[@any4003]

yeah, I still don't understand how the dropping from a seated position amazes people; I've been screwed numerous times with my phones from sitting position, dropped and just shattered but when I was standing up and dropped it from even higher height it survived. I find this to be troubling with cell phone producers; how they can just have a phone survive decent Heights when it comes to such a short impact it's life devastating to the phone. This should have been a huge complaint throughout the entire existence of smartphones.

[@SDav21]

Your previous tests possibly weakened the screen. LG did many tests to ensure that it is strong but obviously no one will subject their phone to such repeated torture.

[@D.AverageJoe]

SDav21 many people have broken there screen after a few hours of ownership..

[@me_dimko]

@@D.AverageJoe well if they're retards :)

[@darkdraconis]

It shattered because you srcached it on the front look at the cracking lines

[@How2Tech]

Actually where I scratched it was on the sides the top had 0 scratches on it.

[@TECHDROIDSYT]

nice video so much hardwork but less attention

[@khoa-nguyenvan4639]

I love how the bend test started since the iphone 6

[@MemphisMojo15s]

I have a Gear4 D30 Picadilly case for my Ice Platinum G6, which doesn't cover the front, so I got the Invisible Shield 3X glass for the front. if the phone can withstand most of what you did with nothing covering it at all, A good case and screen protector should be fine. the D30 case is thick on the back and has rubber along the edges, especially the corners. Incipio makes A good case, (be sure to get the one rated for 12') as well as Otterbox Defender rates well. Get a tough screen protector accompanied by Otterbox with the additional cover on it and you should be golden..Good luck!

[@calvinyip364]

can you do on the oneplus 3t

[@steveguerin7650]

My brand new G6 had a cracked camera lens right out of the box! The box was sealed and in good shape I couldn't believe it. And to top it off my provider is basically saying that I broke it and now want to analyse this case. It's obviously a problem with these phones . I do still love the phone though and I really hope LG replaces it because it's less than a week old.

[@SaintVader]

My LG G6 shuttered the back cover by dropping from a couch. FROM A COUCH! 😢 We are talking about a 40cm height! I'm going to replace the back cover soon...

[@dulcebenavides135]

had mine for 4 days and this morning it slipped out of my back pocket and fell about 2 1/2 ft. shattered the whole back side.

[@deathcenter115]

Dulce Benavides on what flooring

[@myplaguesify]

i like how you review,.no long intros and shits just straight into action.nice man never change how you do it.

[@sbomorse]

3:34 people are looking at your muffin tops - you don't have a juicy rear end 😂

[@lass1234]

I think drop test on a wooden panel is fair enough, but what about drop test on concrete? Some solid ground dude, ouch.

[@wwjj64]

how is tumbling your phone with two sets of keys for 15 mins even close to everyday life?

[@rawleyfear5749]

Still waiting on my G6 case--Amazon is taking forever to even ship it. So my damn cat runs through the room, knocks off my headphones, which were attached to my phone, and my phone flew onto my ceramic tile floor from sitting height. There wasn't a mark anywhere. Maybe I was just lucky with the angle. Anyhow, I might bite the bullet and get a case from a brick and mortar store, even though they're way overpriced and hardly any to choose from.

[@Vsw1zzy]

mines cracked from bedside drop the phone is frail it got scratched up by dollars in my pocket

[@MyNevermind]

Vaughn Swann probably sand

[@parsasotoodehnia5429]

please after each drop show us phone

[@How2Tech]

Yes this will be implemented in the next video.

[@kentekuzan]

Yeah, I'll just get a case ASAP.

[@BriefNerdOriginal]

Back is GG5, while the front is GG3. This might explain it.

[@yeanogaming1193]

Get a screen protector and a case

[@rnitram9521]

nobody really does this with their phones seriously...

[@Jojobizzare80]

I agree

[@donovanbishop5811]

Rekia Martin You'd be surprised. There are a lot of spoiled children out there who don't give a crap about their phones because mommy and daddy will just buy them a new one.

[@brycenorman370]

Rekia Martin I cracked my phone so I have to wait 4 months till I can buy a new one

[@SmolPotatowo]

I mean yeah I don't throw my phone in a bag with a bunch of nails, but I have accidentally dropped my phone on multiple occasions.

[@Balgore8]

Well was gonna go case free with this one. Guess i should get a case after all lol

[@erikerik3385]

you don't do drop test after the screen scratches or after you scratch the phone!the screen loses it's strenght!!!

[@How2Tech]

+IO IO Same test performed on Moto g5 plus....Deeper scratch and it didn't shatter until it's 4th 5 foot drop on tile.

[@D.AverageJoe]

IO IO not true.. the numbers are rising of the number of people that have cracked screens.. people break them after only hours of use.. the phone is too heavy for the screen to take the drop

[@dawidofiserwis6405]

I don't even to buy a new phone after seeing this. I have used phones since 2003 and I never broke a part.

[@kingwing5963]

Sits on it 80 times whyd it break????!?!?!

[@How2Tech]

UM 79 times thank you!

[@angelicajose2459]

lg needs to make a phone like the Droid turbo 2

[@badbeatking80]

dude that phone in back pocket experiment was rediculous. is this for real????

[@How2Tech]

Why is this so crazy? My iphone 6 bent in my front pocket let alone if I had sat on it. LG actually butt tests their phones so why not see if it can hold up to 200lbs? www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/lg-g6-teardown-battery-test-mwc2017/

[@michabolek895]

Front scrath easly because you scrath before!

[@D.AverageJoe]

mine broke from sitting height on the front after only 4 days of ownership.. i called lg because i was pissed and the guy on the phone told me a girl cracked the front after 4 hours of ownership. they told me the front is GG3 and the back is GG5.. why the f*ck would you use the good stuff on the back

[@brycenorman370]

drop the phone on a nut, I did and I cracked my phone on a bus

[@twany442]

Can't wait to see the Samsung Galaxy S8!

[@How2Tech]

+Antoine Swans I can't wait to put it through the test. I wonder if the edge will get scratched...

[@twany442]

How2Tech You will soon find out! keep up the great work! I'm more of an LG fan but i don't hate on the Galaxy line. Regardless, all the money ends up going​ to the one percent who owns everything​ anyways and we're fighting over which one's better! crazy!

[@TZKBeats]

Well it broke because the phone had some major scratches lol once the screen is scratched with deep grooves it brakes way easier.... I think lol

[@sideshowbob2421]

glass is made of softer sand, rocks minerals is the only thing that can scratch rocks

[@sideshowbob2421]

you also made the glass more prone to break by scratching it a on tile, which is also rocks

[@abdullahshuaib6247]

My motherfucking G6s screen broke.It hit on it's side and even had a case on it.Worst part is that i know its a tough phone but my luck sucks

[@MrRelevance02]

"Tighter" THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID XD!!

[@chrisbarnard3946]

If you go watch the JerryRigEverything video, you will understand why the phone got so scratched up on the tile. #deepergroovesatalevel7

[@BrianStormingP]

phone arrived on the 5th, front screen cracked the night of 8th from about 3 ft.... first for an android phone of mine...

[@How2Tech]

Interesting...What surface did it fall on?

[@BrianStormingP]

How2Tech concrete sidewalk

[@How2Tech]

Man that sucks! If you need a Screen replacement how-2 it will be out in a few days.

[@BrianStormingP]

I might wait and see if this turns into a class action/recall situation like the g4 reboots...

[@ABUSHfan]

BrianStorming I've had my g6 for almost two months dropped it a few times now. no scratches or cracks

[@hazaelelenes3966]

Am I the only one that thinks he sounds like Quagmire the one from Family Guy?

[@matejgr.8879]

and you need to know that after 10 times droping and turning with keys knife etc will crack...

[@fortheboyz6731]

Dropped my the third time and the screen cracked

[@MrRelevance02]

hey

[@How2Tech]

Hey

[@MrRelevance02]

How2Tech Thx for replying :)

[@How2Tech]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@MrRelevance02]

***** No Problem.

[@SG-dg6oi]

You're no JerryRigEverything!

[@How2Tech]

I am not trying to be....I am looking to simulate real world conditions that would see how the phone would hold up over the course of a year +.

[@nithinlene4243]

G6 sucks . I just kept my phone in bed last night and wake up seeing crack on the display

[@Jojobizzare80]

Drop tests don't mean anything because every drop is different so calm down .

[@MrRelevance02]

3

[@user-md3is4dq2d]

Fix your audio

[@kingkoy0072]

in the real world, people don't do this to their phones.

[@CatJuiceSays]

Camera lens so damn fragile

[@xistencestudios8904]

Don't buy a used phone from this person

[@IIKNDX]

drop test on wood XD

[@ytdark7993]

03

[@miguelribeiro5165]

give me this phone

[@brianmsahin]

LG G6 is using four year old gorilla glass 3, it's cheaper and not as strong. I was looking forward to this phone, but disappointed they sacrificed quality for extra profit.

[@brianmsahin]

It's tempered glass yes, but we are on Gorilla Glass 5 now. They're using cheap older tech which shouldn't be used on a 2017 flagship phone. Of course if you don't drop it, it won't be a problem. I don't want to be too critical, I think it's a lovely phone, it beats every other phone out there, makes the Pixel and iPhone look ugly, and the only phone that's better is the new Galaxy S8. I wish they'd have taken the extra step and used GG5. But.......the next one, the LG V30 with the new 835 processor should be a beauty. If I was an an LG buyer, I would definitely be waiting for the V30.

[@Nemsesis3624]

Brian M GG5 isn't better at all.

[@Nemsesis3624]

Brian M But GG3 is stronger against scratches than GG5. So the stupid statement came from you. ;)

[@PUSHTHEBUTTON382]

Hey dude! I am use your test for another public, for Soviet union people, u are take a strike for it! Okay, i just delete it and that's all! But LG G6 now is just a bullshit, who use it now? Indians or?

[@makskor7027]

Фигня!!!

[@BuddysDIY]

DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!! IS SO FRAGLE. IT WILL BREAK SUPER EASILY. I bought this phone and it literally broke without dropping or seting down hard within the first 24 hours. its either a manufacturing defect. or this phone is garbage. wish I can return it and get a samsung but I cant

[@Swavvy116Xrs]

Stelios Manouselis Bum

[@BuddysDIY]

Swavvy116Xrs yeah I'm a bum who bought a 600 dollar phone and wear a mavado that costs as much as your car.

[@Swavvy116Xrs]

Stelios Manouselis Jokes on you i dont have a car lol

[@BuddysDIY]

lmfao

[@parsasotoodehnia5429]

your only problem is you speak toooooo muchhhhhh

[@How2Tech]

The next video will be more concise.

[@TheQuatum]

How2Tech you already do a good job man. Don't change for 1 person

[@How2Tech]

Thanks man! I only solicit for feedback because I think this series can be better and I myself am not 100% happy with it. I appreciate your feedback and your support.

[@alireza.forouzanfar]

dumbest test ever!

[@How2Tech]

How would you try to simulate real world conditions?

[@Jojobizzare80]

Actually using it and doing weekly or monthly updates over the year on how it is holding up. Every drop is different so relying on them is not a good way to determine a phone drop rating. The tumble test could have scored the glass causing it to fracture at that point.

[@How2Tech]

This would be a great and is ideal but not for viewership on a channel. To test many phones you would have to carry and use 5+ phones a a day. You are correct a tumble test may have created a flaw in the glass but is more realistic than dropping it new out of the box. It is unlikely you would drop the phone when it is new more likely to drop it after you have had it for months with scratches, scuffs, flexed display and possibly a flawed display. I would rather see how this phone reacts to being dropped simulated over time rather than new out of the box.
