Rog 5 has failed Jerry's durability test

anjubunny123 — Wed, 17 Mar 2021 18:01:39 GMT

One billion colours gone in an instance ,one thousand dollars gone in a crack
Judging by the fact that every premium and midrange phone survives the durability test even the previous Rog's survived it ,well that's highly unlikely with the lastest rog 5 and it is a pathetic embarrassment

Think twice before choosing rog 5 as it cannot handle a gamer's physical abuse on it
Asus were superstitious about number 4 bringing death but 5 died at the very first bend🙌🥴

It snapped clean where the antenna is, most phones do and having a split battery would weaken the overall strength of the body because there isn't one large mass running down the centre

Does the BS3 have antennas on the side like the rog 5 does?

I mean nothing offending Asus's idea ,it is an excellent design for charging but it just isn't cooked well due to the release date interval

You can actually see it's a clean clean snap right there, the different coloured bar next to the snap is the antenna - a very weak point, so definitely a design flaw

Yes it has side antennas but it has solid build unlike rog 5

The idea with design is innovative but 1200 bucks for a single bend is ridiculous don't you think
Please don't push the release dates again Asus

It is a shame it broke in half. But at the end of day, that is not classed as normal usage. Anyone can come along and snap a phone in half.

True no one will actually apply that much stress knowingly the other 1% scenarios are unlikely and rare

Don't get me wrong, I would love to do that if was a job and get paid. Just imagine that, getting paid to find ways of breaking a phone.
I love Jerry's video - he should go further and find more inventive ways of breaking a phone with real usage. Like when someone loses a game and get angry and ends up breaking it because they bent it so hard. That will indeed be very comic like show 😂

First of all how can you have a 240gm phone sticking out in your back pocket and not notice it lol,the phones nowadays are so big and thick you'll feel it let alone sit with it in your pocket 🤷🏻
And your example is not something one will encounter as in his "normal usage" as I pointed out in another comment most people do baby their phones and this is in the premium category so you can't be that careless
I did state 1% probability of such accidents happening though but still I don't think it'll bother enough in everyday usage
If it's as bad as the iPhone 6 bendgate thing you'll know by seeing the forums
So all we gotta do is to wait for more people to buy them and check for themselves

Remember the iPad?it broke in two haleves on his channel?
Remember the OnePlus 7t? That failed his test too
But both are successful models sales wise and don't have any complains regarding build quality event failing tests on his channel
Jerry's tests aren't end all results and none of the users will apply that much stress knowingly
Even a top rated phone in durability can break after just one fall it just depends on angle of fall and a little bit of luck
That's all 😄
