Testing the durability of the Honor 9X [Video]

Durability is not something we talk about a lot. Sure, everyone wants to know about IP ratings and Gorilla Glass, but beyond that, it’s not something that is covered in reviews. That’s a shame because most people use a phone for a long time and so durability is a big deal. XDA TV‘s Adam Conway put the Honor 9X up to the test to see how it fared in a few everyday situations.

There are a lot of different ways you can test the durability of a phone. You can break out tools to perform a hardness test on the glass, drop it from a tall building, submerge it in a pool, etc. For the Honor 9X durability test, Adam just put it into a few real-life situations. First, he removed the case and screen protector. Then he tried to scratch the display with keys, which didn’t do anything.

Up next was a more severe test. Adam simulated getting out of a car and accidentally dropping the phone on unforgiving pavement. He did this twice and the phone came out in good shape both times. Adam then dropped the phone from waist height on a hardwood floor, which is a pretty common accident. He also left the pop-up camera open. The camera has a safety feature to automatically close when dropped, and the phone itself was fine. Check out the video below to see the tests in action.
