It is no secret that modern smartphones do not go to any comparison with the Nokia 3310, old and new, on the margin of safety. They are afraid of many factors, and only some of them are able to resist external negative impacts. The new flagship HTC U11, alas, this is not an exception.
The HTC U11, announced this spring and like all new phones from HTC, is overrated, has not passed the test of strength. As it turned out, it may scratch the material strength 6 on Mohs scale, although it’s not so bad — many flagships are cut on “the five”. Also note that HTC U11 almost does not react to heat, nor on the body nor on the display, so stay in direct sunlight with a high degree of probability will not do anything to hurt him.
But the test for flexing Taiwan mobile failed — it turned out that to bend its body with my bare hands very easily even though it is metal and coated glass. Of course, on a more serious load and can not speak — if to bend the smartphone a little more than usual, it turns out what is pictured. One would assume that the whole thing is in a glass case, but he’s got nothing to do with the Chinese flagship Xiaomi Mi 6 coped with the test for bending. The reason is that HTC U11 — prohibitively expensive, functional, outdated and corny low-quality cell phone, which bend as easily as the iPhone 6 three years ago.
