- Yo guys, Jonathan here, and today is gonna be a fun day.
LG reached out and wanted to sponsor
an extreme water test, and I was like wait,
you want me to try and destroy your phone with water?
They said yes, so I was like, I am in,
and now we're about to put the LG G6
through its paces.
So what we're gonna do is incrementally climb
the ladder of extreme, so to speak.
We're gonna start out somewhat small,
with a simple one hour in water test.
Once it hopefully passes that,
we can then move on,
but as a disclaimer, do not do what I do.
Just because this phone can withstand the water
doesn't mean you should replicate
the dumb things I'm about to do.
Drop a like if you appreciate that though,
because the last thing I wanna do
is see you void your warranty.
And with that out of the way,
let's drop this guy in water.
(upbeat electronic music)
So the hour's passed and actually
taking a look at the phone, we got a little more than that.
We're currently sitting at about an hour and 13 minutes.
Everything looks good so far,
but I'm gonna pull it out just to make sure.
Shake it off a little bit.
So I'm gonna hop out of the timer
and everything looks good so far.
I do wanna make sure that the speakers are still intact,
so let's go and actually test out the screen
with some audio playing.
(dramatic music)
So it definitely passed that test,
which really wasn't too much of a shocker.
But what it does mean is that we're ready for round two.
Part of the next test, we are taking the G6 hiking.
It might get a little wet.
- [Camera Man] No man, we'll be fine.
- [Jonathan] This is just the beginning, buddy?
- [Camera Man] Is this it? Is it gonna be worse than this?
- Yes, your feet are gonna get wet.
So we're about 15 minutes in right now,
and man, hiking is pretty good cardio,
but we're racing the light right now,
hoping to find the waterfall before it gets dark.
So, we shall see.
(upbeat techno music)
All right, so, we made it,
and I was kinda hoping that maybe
we wouldn't make it in time,
with the sun dropping out,
but now this means I gotta do it.
(upbeat techno music)
God, it's cold!
Oh, that is cold.
Oh, it's cold.
Well, that was cold, but, obviously the phone
passed that test.
We're on to the final round.
So next up, yes, I am standing
on top of a washing machine.
That is because we're about to toss the G6 inside.
I will, of course, make sure we use cold water,
so we don't shrink that sweet display.
But now, let's go ahead and soak this baby up.
(dramatic music)
(clanking loudly)
So, the cycle is completed.
Honestly, we may have gone a little too extreme with this,
in the sense that there is nothing but the phone.
No pillows, no blankets, no padding to protect it.
But now, it is the moment of truth,
and we've gotta see if it survived.
I'm kind of a little bit scared.
I heard it rattling and smashing around inside.
So, pop the door open, grab the phone.
Holy crap, the phone is still alive!
The screen is on!
No dings, no damage, no cracks.
The screen is working perfectly.
I know it's probably a little hard to see
in this blinding, blazing sunlight.
So as impressive as the water test,
I may be more surprised due to the fact
that it actually survived being tossed around
like a rag doll inside.
But that means we are ready to move on to the next round.
So next up, it's time to whip out the heavy artillery.
It, by no means, is this an official IP69K test,
nor am I an official tester,
so please, do not do what I do.
I'm about to blast this G6 full of water.
Look at that.
Notifications work, the camera's still recording.
I think we should probably bump up the test a little.
(dramatic music)
(menacing laughter)
(upbeat music)
So, at the end of the day,
whether it was an hour underwater,
a hike through a waterfall,
being tossed in a load of laundry,
or blasted with pressure and water,
the LG G6 held its own and then some.
Huge thanks to LG for sending this my way early.
Again, this is a pre-production model,
so things may change in the final version.
Again, don't do what I did.
But hopefully you enjoyed it and had some fun.
If you did, make sure you guys drop a like down below.
This is Jonathan and I will catch you guys later.
