Is ROG 5 weaker?

I saw a youtuber who does tests on phones, the ROG 1+2+3 all passed, and one of the reasons why I went with them, however the ROG 5 seems.. weaker and more easy to break?

Name of the video - The ROG Phone 5 has a Problem - Durability Test Fail!

Yeah its failed in normal bend test. Try to keep away this phone from toddlers/children who may easily break this phone. In real life usage I dont think so this bend issue will persist, unless you are sitting with a tight jean with rog 5 on your packet. It will definetely make your phone fragile.

I agree, on the normal day usage it shouldn't be a problem, however its sad, because the old ones were stronger..it make no sense.

Yes I agreee on this. Rog 5 should have survived as previous Rog phones. Antenna position and split battery seems like culprit here
