Poco X5 pro Durability test : Worst phone of 2023

So, Poco has finally launched its X5PRO. There is no doubt that device has some mind-blowing specs at this price, like a 6.67" 120hz AMOLED display with 1B Dolby Vision support, the Snapdragon 778G, and a 108MP camera, but companies always degrade the physical quality of phones when they offer something like this. Either you get a good heart or beautiful looks; if someone is offering you both, they will definitely charge flagship level price.

Now this is the time to test the durability of the latest Poco X5 Pro:

 

Water test:

Just after unboxing, we decided to dip our Poco X5 Pro in 60 litres of water for 5 minutes. Surprisingly,  when we removed the SIM tray, we noticed some drops of water, but even after that, the phone was still working flawlessly.

Scratch test:

This time POCO has used Corning Gorilla Glass 5. In our test, we found that sharp objects may scratch your phone even at level 5, with visible damages at level 6 and deeper grooves at level 7. The back and side frames are also made up of plastic, and you can scratch them very easily, so always use a back case with a screen protector if you want to use your device for a long time.

 

Burn test:

LED lights up the screen, and we burn the display. Finally,  we tested the phone against a flame for 30 seconds, and it survived very easily. However, we noticed a very minor spot after the test on the panel.

 

Bend test:

As I told you, whenever a company offers a good processor, display, and battery, they always reduce their physical quality. In our bend test, the POCO x5 Pro failed brutally; it broke into pieces with just a normal amount of force, as you can see in the image.
