This Nexus 6P durability test is sure to spark a bit of debate for a number of reasons. Tell us what you think.

That's pretty bad. It seems the phone lacks any serious internal frame and the glue appears to fail promptly when the bend test begins.
Google has started cutting corners with the Nexus, that's why I didn't bother with the last one.
Well, he was bending a phone that already had a broken screen but I was still surprised at how easy it bent.

I don't like his bend test, should've done something more controlled. I would rather see him put it in his back pocket and sit down, something more realistic. Maybe use a weight system.
Hmmm not too sure about the video, a lot of comments are similar to these -
What someone posted
" At this point, with the pile of evidence we have, I think we can safely say this was a staged PR stunt. It's kinda brilliant really. He's going to make a small fortune off of this fake video. Update: People are saying that this video is done by someone we know named "TK". Someone known to be a liar and scammer."
lolwhut? Look at his other videos, fingers are the same and the test are the same. Someone doesn't like hearing their new flagship phone is a plastic POS.
Video of you raging on a nexus 6p because you lost in candy crushI am not too worried about this video. I am not planning to break my screen and snap my phone in half.
He also pushes the middle up which forces the battery to pop the screen out. Under most situations you would not put pressure in the center back of the phone while bending it along the power button hole.
It does seem contrived. But who knows, the 6P could be crap. I will know next week.

Google doesnt make phones. They foolishly selected Huwei. The 5x is well constructed in comparison, and the Nexus 6 is built like a battleship. The iFixit Teardown of the 6P illustrates why I woudl never one one.
There is a logo on the back. What are you talking about?Other videos debunk his. Lack of logo on back suggests it is a knock off.
But the main points are:
-He cracked the screen in half with his cut test (doesn't bode well if it isn't a knock off)
-He heated the screen with the burn test.
-He then bent the device that had zero strength do to no structural strength from the screen.
True but it's not really a great test which is pretty easy to do controlled. Simply putting a phone on two blocks and clamping it down then putting weights on it until it bends, breaks or is unreasonable is simple enough. I'm confused why there is a burn test, i get bend and scratch and dropping all happen to phones all the time, hell why not a drop a drink on it test. If the phone fails because of the crack on the screen that's pretty shitty given that screen crack all the dam time,the only people i know who don't have cracks on their screen their phones are less than a year old.This test is the 'default' test that people do to test if the phone bends or not. This all stems from the Iphone 6 phone bendgate debacle. Check out his Iphone 6s where he is straining like a SOB to bend that sucker and he does a bit. Shows that Apple was listening at least to the tempest in the teapot problem.
We (those of us with a brain) know that no one is going to do that to a phone and doing so you know you will break it.
Addition because I can't edit -- the strength of phones comes from the fact they are built as a boxed structure. Once you compromise that structure (the big ass CRACK) then it's going to be a ton weaker.
He's using broken/questionable hardware with unscientific methodology. Either he's really really stupid for posting this and thinking it's true, or Apple dropped a fat sack of cash on the guys door step.
