Manufacturers subject their creations to durability test to check that everything is in order, although there are users like JerryRigEverything that carry this kind of tests to the extreme in order to find possible deficiencies. In this sense, the Google Pixel 6a has exceeded expectations, showing that the brand’s smartphones boast a very high hardness.
The Google Pixel 6a resists everything
Although it is true that today the devices are not as resistant as in the past, since companies prefer to use other types of materials to reduce production costs. However, the younger brother of the Pixel 6a line has surprised with a resistance that is on par with the most powerful variants.
JerryRigEverything has already tested the durability of the Pixel 6 Pro and the reality is that it measured up remarkably, surviving all the tests it faced. Of course, when we talk about the Google Pixel 6a we do it in a reduced version in specifications and price. Hence certain weaknesses in this regard are to be expected.
During the first part of the test we see how the content creator checks the screen Gorilla Glass 3 hardness, which is scratched by applying some force. This is completely logical, since this type of glass is not one of the most resistant on the market. Of course, the fingerprint sensor continues to work despite the scratches.
On the other hand, the test verifies that the frame of the Google Pixel 6a is metallic when scratched by the user’s blade. The back is plastic, as usual, and this gives Jerry free rein to draw a picture with the blade on the casing.
hard and flexible
Alarm bells go off when Jerry starts testing the phone flexibilityWell, this is where the shortcomings appear, as happened with the OnePlus 10 Pro. A terminal that broke quite easily when applying force. However, it is worth noting that the resistance of the Google Pixel 6 was an excessively surprising feature since it hardly showed any flex under pressure.
The Google Pixel 6a has inherited this trait from its older brother and is that despite costing less money maintains composure. The mobile bends minimally, but does not break in half as it happened to the OnePlus flagship. In fact, this property is not something that stands out in the mid-range, so it is a point in favor of the Mountain View company.
Everything seems to indicate that the Internet giant will maintain the construction for the next and imminent Google Pixel 7 line, which will also be subjected to resistance tests, but they will surely meet expectations.
