The Samsung Z Fold 7 fares better. He's able to bend it back, but unable to cause it to crack by bending it backwards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hgg4YEdP

He's able to bend it back, but unable to cause it to crack by bending it backwards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hgg4YEdPak https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hgg4YEdPak Not sure if I see the point of using a craft knife to scratch the case though. Nor the point of using a lighter to kill pixels on the screen. More for the sheer horror of it than anything. The Iphone air couldn't be broken by hand either: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQ56ve39l2I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQ56ve39l2I

A cheap lighter if it cracks could potentially cause a small fire. But still it would be astronomically unlikely that your phone is also present with it and then even more unlikely it burns long enough to cause damage without one stopping it.

The point is a destructive test to failure. Watch the new iphone tests and you will see the point. The phone still works at the end.

  > The point is a destructive test to failure. If that's the point, just chuck the thing into a boiling vat of acid and declare with a condescending voice "whoops, looks like they still haven't quite managed that boiling vat of acid problem despite knowing I test this on every new model". I'm sure that will get those likes and subscribes. Or are people actually putting a lighter to the phone's screen during day-to-day use so that it matters how many seconds it survives?

    comparing hand bending a phone and having it catch fire to chucking a phone into a boiling vat of acid is certainly reasonable...

His videos of scratching up phones with razor knifes and breaking them and such get views. It's a bit of a shame, because his other content is actually pretty good, but he built his channel doing those sorts of videos and they continue to pay the bills.

It would make a lot more sense if it were keys or an electrical plug's blades or other objects likely to be found in a pocket/bag alongside my phone.

The knife test is basically ASMR horror at this point, but was originally to identify plastic vs metal in frames and buttons, and also plastic vs glass on cam lenses. The lighter test was originally to identify lcd vs led as they behave differently, but afaik nobody is even doing lcd anymore...

the knife is a hardness test - shows you it's not stainless steel in the frame
