Honor Robot Phone durability test
The Honor Robot Phone launched in China in August, and now it’s arrived at Zack‘s place on the YouTube channel JerryRigEverything. As expected, he subjected it to his usual durability tests and then disassembled it. Here’s the video.
The gimbal camera of the Honor Robot Phone gets quite warm during testing. The glass on the front of the phone scratches even at a hardness level of 6 on the Mohs scale, and deeper grooves appear at a hardness level of 7. However, this is nothing unusual and is typical for the displays of all premium smartphones.
Honor Robot Phone: Light and Shadow
The Honor phone’s casing is made of aluminum, and unsurprisingly, when exposed to heavy dust and sand, the gimbal can no longer detach from its housing. The “robot arm” is therefore not truly dustproof. However, the Robot Phone passes the bend test with flying colors.
Interestingly, the vapor chamber is glued to the back of the display, so Honor is essentially using the screen for heat dissipation. The 200MP periscope telephoto camera features OIS, and the robotic arm is definitely not easy to remove from the casing. Overall, it’s an impressive feat of engineering.
