LG G6 Passes Extreme Torture and Bend Test with Flying Colors

As with every other new flagship smartphone, the infamous YouTuber JerryRigEverything has now put the latest and greatest from LG to the ultimate durability test. The LG G6 is a premium smartphone, which means that all of the materials used on the device should withstand a lot of abuse. As the recently uploaded video shows, this is indeed the case for LG's new flagship.

The YouTuber previously uploaded a teardown video of the LG G6, but that was not really a commercial unit. Now the commercially available model goes under the knife, so to speak, to test out just how durable it is.

As per Android Authority, the entire front side of the smartphone is made of tempered Gorilla Glass 3 and it comes as no surprise that it is able to survive scratches from everyday objects. The entire 5.7-inch edge-to-edge display is protected by this glass, which means that it will not break that easily, even with accidental drops.

The glass also protects several other components of the LG G6, including its front and back cameras. However, materials such as granite can still leave a permanent mark, which is why it is advisable to cover the G6 with a case. As for the infamous bend test, the device apparently does not buckle under pressure. The seams also don't open up. Several factors were found to contribute to the device's overall rigidity, which includes the curved glass tucked into the case as well as an all-metal frame designed like an I-Beam.

According to BGR, all of the components used inside and outside of the G6 are made of premium grade materials, which means that LG did not skimp on its overall quality. All in all, LG's latest flagship smartphone was able to survive the torture test with flying colors. The LG G6 and all of its components were apparently engineered to last and the latest torture video only serves to prove that point.
