okay so in this video here I'm going to
check out the durability of the Xiaomi
mi6 so this is a donor completely dead
Mi 6 that I killed with water damage
this thing is definitely not water
resistant do not wash it do not shower
with it and try not to drop it in a
pulled or anything like that so in this
test I'm going to check out just how
durable the screen is we don't know
whether this has Gorilla Glass or it has
dragon tail Xiaomi never really actually
tell us do they never say outright yes
it has Gorilla Glass 4 spec or 5 spec or
whatever so I'm going to start off with
simple basic items like things like coin
keys see how the screen handles that and
the rear of it of course and then move
on to more aggressive things like knives
and this brush up here which has metal
bristles on it so it should really
scratch things up there now I'm not
trying to take away from other youtubers
that do this big shout out to Zack of
JerryRigEveryThing he is the king
of doing this but since my one died I
thought I might as well make use of a
dead me 6 here so first up is something
very simple and common you accidentally
put your phone in your pocket with some
coins in there so it's going to get a
little scratched up by that okay
nothing's really happened there from
that simple thing now you can see this
funny little mark here that's actually
like a bit of water that's in behind the
screen I think so that's why that is
there now a bit more aggressively so the
coin has done absolutely nothing to the
screen so far I'll test it on the
fingerprint reader
portion the area there no nothing just a
little bit of a scratch now the paint
coming off so that's very minor so I
test some keys now accidentally put it
in your pocket with your keys
okay
still nothing there looks like that is
fine so it can handle basic items like
that let's check out now something a
little harder and this is a small
screwdriver I don't have those special
picks and this I'm pushing down really
hard now
in fact just making the squealing noise
on the screen okay that must have left a
mark surely so you can't see anything
yet so holding up really well now this
same test on the rear of the phone
I think the rear has different glass to
me what feels different
and the keys so far nothing so again the
rear oh dear look you can see that's
still perfect now we'll try a knife now
this is very sharp and it put a lot of
pressure on this I can't believe that
that is not doing hardly anything surely
that must have put a scratch on there
yeah it has okay so that finally has
marked that you can see there those
scratches hard to show you there on the
light to see about there so pressing
down very hard on that I'm finally able
to get some scratches at least on the
relics trophy front of the screen now
and that also has scratched the screen
you can see now visibly some marking
there when pressing down really as hard
as I can in fact that hard I think it
has broken it has broken the tip of the
knife just there to see if the wire
brush is going to do anything I honestly
don't think I can get enough pressure on
that to leave a mark so that has really
done by looks of it not nothing so that
is just not going to do really scratches
not something on the side now that has
scratched it up a little bit so the
paint is probably the weakest part just
along the sides so you can clearly see
those scratches there on the screen
visibly much from me pressing down so
look at the earpiece now whether that's
made out of metal looks like it as you
can see I've managed to scar that and
taking the paint off it but that's metal
it's not made out of plastic there to
cover over the top now to check out the
buttons so the side of it looks like
it's going to scratch quite easy this
paint job
yeah easy to scratch buttons definitely
made out of metal and you can see they
scratch up quite easy so you'll probably
want to keep that taste on it which
covers the buttons and the antenna line
there that will be plastic now I'll
fingerprint reader unfortunately I can't
test whether this is working or not if
it gets scratched because my phone isn't
working but it seems to have the same
level of hardness as the rest of the
screen so very tough whoops
and very easy to break so the point of
my knife you can see just went right
through it there that didn't actually
take too much so probably thinner the
glass around the fingerprint reader I
doubt it would work now if my phone
working close-up look you can see that
it just went right through there so the
glass in this area seems to be a lot
thinner than the rest of the screen
probably so that fingerprint reader can
work there the ultrasonic sensor that it
has so that looks like the weakest point
of the phone so far and it has
completely shattered the screen right up
above halfway point there you can see
that goes right up to there the crack
right through now looking at the two
camera lenses see how scratch-resistant
these are holding up well looks like a
little bit of a mark on there no no
slightly just scored it a little and
around the outside this is one of my
minor complaints here is this middle
frame around here that has a bit of a
sharp edge on it so the lens seems to be
reasonably scratch resistant there
although I've completely marked this one
now and so yes it is scratched up and
the same glass is of course used over
the LED flash there you need a lot of
pressure and something very sharp to
scratch it so let's see if I can bend it
now with a bit of a beam test now it has
been structurally weakened of course
with that screen now been cracked so I
imagine it won't be as strong as your
normal new phone and never done one of
these tests here before so I'm really a
little bit worried about actually
cutting my thumbs up or something here
we go yeah it's easy to bend a little
I'm putting a lot of force into that but
that is very strong but of course the
screen now completely cracked because
I'll push that in and their shadow glass
everywhere so I'm just going to try the
other way now see it's
you've been there a little but holding
up really well I think the internal
frame they have reinforced around where
the SIM card is and the volume button so
there's no real weakness to me I think
this is going to survive even
JerryRigEverything's bend tests
this one I think will pass with
hopefully flying colors but I'm a little
uncertain about that screen it seems me
putting pressure in the middle of it was
what cracked it but as mentioned it was
already cracked so not completely fair
being test there but the rare is holding
up well if you see my other video where
a water damaged it and I just showed you
the after map you can have a look at the
internals there in much greater detail
because they use a macro lens but
pulling the rear cover off isn't at all
hard just a suction cup on one of these
corners and then quite a bit of pressure
you'll see it comes off exposing our
internals there but this is what I'm
talking about they have reinforced along
here the middle frame that's got an
internal metal frame along it and along
where the volume and the power buttons
are very strong I do think this is a
strong phone you can see this the camera
modules there so those are easily
replaced if you had a problem with one
of them you could just swap it out for a
whole new sensor module loudspeakers
here haptic feedback motor the type C
port also can be replaced and there is a
battery cell NFC so there are some real
dangerous pieces of glass fragments
everywhere from that screen I've got a
couple of little minor cuts and things
and little bit stuck in my fingers but I
kind of expected that alright so I think
bend test wise it held up really fine
it's going to survive everyone's bend test
it's very strong the internal frame I
doubt anyone's going to be able to bend
it in half and left there Heman, there
Superman or something like that they're
really strong they can just (Roar)
Really brute force bend the thing
but I do doubt that. So I think the
weaknesses around the screen I think
it's a little bit thinner around the
fingerprint reader there of course my
tears wasn't very fair dropping the
point of a knife on it the frame around
the outside as well there's going to be
very easy to scratch those buttons to
scratch along here
even just keys and things will leave
scratches so I would have a case on this
at all times and the screen I think -
probably would be quite easy to break if
you dropped it and it hit the screen
right. Unfortunately I can't really do a
drop test because my bend test killed
the screen while my first knife test
against the fingerprint readers what did
it. Anyway! Thank you so much for watching
this video and as mentioned if you want
to see the internals check out my video
showing the internals and that was the
aftermath of water damage on this phone
here hope you catch you back in the
channel soon bye for now
