The bending worries more then anything. Might have to reconsider a case.
Ok..this doesn't look good at all. I think that I will cancel my pre-order.
I wouldn't worry till unboxTherapy does one... And actually bend it easily

Uh, but that's a property of aluminum. Why are people surprised by this? Isn't the iPhone 6 easy bend as well? Aluminum is soft, there's nothing surprising about it.

There are different levels of aluminium strength. Obviously they went the cheap route here and picked such soft aluminium as it can be clearly seen in the video.
Don't know about you ,but I treat my phones like a precious piece of China anyway.I have just come from a one M7 after 2 years where it never had a case or a SP on it,always kept in a leather pouch when not in use and it is still in immaculate condition.I'm not going to burn it with a lighter,scratch it with s pick{if I did I'd get a new screen put in anyway ) and its front pocket with nothing else in there.....

I am extremely upset now. Looks like Huawei really went with the cheapest possible aluminium they could find. And at least here in Europe the price is still premium. EUR690..
Why does Google always f*ck up some part with their phones..

Well some of you probably waiting for this.
To keep it short:
Back drop - OK
Side drop - Fatal
Probably due to thin bezel, but we all know the risk when we brought this phone right?
yeah, looks like that thin bezel doesn't fare well on accidental drops..
thats why i ordered my Spigen Slim Armor for good reason..
Pretty much any phone will shatter the display if it lands on the side or bottom, most if not all phone are edge to edge glass these days which doesn't help.
Hmm think it does fairly poorly. Note 3 only cracked on direct drop, not from corner hit.
Also it stops working early. This is definitely not a rugged phone.

This is totally random. 100%. And these phones aren't made to be dropped from those heights either. If you are an bad user, you buy something thats made to take a few hits. Not phones like these, these should be used with care, not childish or stupid actions.

I think the ground bashed the phone enough that he didn't have to.
There is nothing scientific to it people. Even with all the camera angles you guys mentioned. Someone will still cry foul when it doesn't fall exactly right.
This phone looks fragile enough for it to be believed that it will break on the first fall.
-LG G2
Almost any phone if it hits just right will shatter. Its all about force. Hitting it on the corner or a small area will produce more force as its not distributed, like laying on a bed of nails as opposed to stepping on a single nail. These are all glass screens, gorilla or not. Never seen a phone that I cant find one drop test where the screen doesnt have some damage...so lets see what flexible "non-glass" displays can do...

If you consider life an extended drop test, my RAZR has survived amazingly well. To be honest, I don't know how the screen hasn't been broken. I remember when I first got it, I was afraid it would break easily from flexing because it was so thin. It never did. I even started throwing it 10 ft. in the air and letting it land on concrete and asphalt just so I could rub it into my friend's faces that used iPhones. lol, I'm such a jerk.

I gotta say my original Droid Razr seems to be indestructible. Dropped it many times and it only suffered minor scuffs.
I dropped my LG G2 today, I was trying to put it in my coat pocket and missed, so it fell on the floor from waist height and the quick view case came off but no scratch or crack to be found!

Pretty happy with this! With a good screen protector/skin i think i should be fine for the rare times it is dropped.
Happy? They're both awful ...
Just backs up my reasoning for a good hard case and glass screen protector. We'll have to see if otterbox makes one for this.
That video *ONLY* proves two things.
1) The chances that your phone will be damaged, and the amount of said damage, are equally proportionate to the height your phone falls from.
2) Gravity does indeed work.

I agree, but it's time to get on the jumbo train me thinks. All the top spec'd devices are biggies. I love the size of my iPhone 6, and before that I had the similarly sized GS3. I ordered a 6P to give it a try. It may very well be a failed experiment in the end, but at least I'll know first hand what I can tolerate in terms of size.

because this phone cost literally 50% of what I pay in rent so yes tempered screen protector and case are already on their way.
I'm actually impressed here. The only thing that scratches Glass is something harder. Metal isn't doing it in general without significant force. It's softer. Silica, sand and dirt, is death. That's why you always keep your pockets clean. Dropping it on asphalt or concrete is the worst situation as even if you don't crack it the chance of silica grinding into the glass to scratch or chip it is great. The added force factor and cracking or outright shattering is increased in chance.
These phones held up pretty well being dropped on asphalt. I pancaked my N5 onto a sidewalk screen down at about waist height (I'm 6'2") and it shattered. I had gotten lucky in the past and it landed on sides or back with little consequence.

It's amazing what these devices can, and can't, take.
Had my n5 run over by a tractor at the golf course. Just 1 front wheel, but was face down in the short grass. All ok, but I did notice the flash points down a bit further than it used to.
Also left it on the back of a golf cart. And of course it stayed on for about 370 yards only to fall off face down right at the beginning of the crushed granite cart path. That left a nice deep 1/4 inch gash in the screen, but fortunately was off the viewable area.
Had a few other drops on hardwood floors, but it's still holding up pretty well for 2+ years old - no case or screen protector.
Is the drop test a Trick or Treat? Happy Halloween!

Yeah.. Mine is just now starting to look a little worn for various reasons. The panel is nice again since brand new. But previous to that sidewalk screen flop it still looked mint. It's pretty much all down to keeping dirt out of your pockets and not wiping dirt off since that can also grind it in. Always blow it off carefully.

I have a SLIGHT warp on the bottom right of the phone. I called Huawei about it and they said it was covered by the manufacturer warranty. In my case it's not really that bad so I have no reason to RMA. But I will should it get worse. So far it hasn't.

Well you might have some luck with that, be very very careful doing that. That's a quick way to get a cracked screen. I know Gorilla Glass has a lot of flex in it and isn't the most brittle thing in the world, but it's still glass. Just my two cents, I haven't had this issue, but I will be keeping an eye on it as well.

That is the main reason I'm thinking of returning mine. My first 6P bent around the power button. My replacement has been fine, I've kept it in the speck case Google sells, but still a phone( metal or not) shouldn't warp from being used or being stored in the front pocket. Should we really be having to un-warp our phones? It's not normal.

My 6P is perfectly flat when face down on a granite countertop with no case.
If this was the iPhone that bent like this, alot of the android fan boys would be up in arms saying how much apple sucks, but since it's android we are willing to unbend our phones. Doesn't make alot of sense
I know it doesn't.
But comparing the way iPhone bent to Nexus is a bit different. Iphone bent quite badly. To be honest if my screen protector didn't peel on one side when I took my phone out of the pocket I would never thought to check if its bent lol
It does not affect everyday use by any way. Nor you can see it.
Note: it was first couple of hours since protector was applied that's why it peeled. Doesn't happen anymore
Saying that all are like that I meant they all prone to that slight body movement.

LG G5 painted in plastic coating?
Jerry rig everything video shows alot of proof.
Most of the professional reviewers are scared to speak the truth. Why? Are you scared of LG?
It is a die-cast aluminium body which then has the antennas placed on the outside (because the signals wouldn't get through the metal) there is then a primer to help the paint bond to the aluminium and cover up the antennas. They then use a microdised finish over the top which is effectively a metallic paint.
It's not plastic it's just not been machined and anodised. They were going for a different take on the metal body that could allow them to hide the antennas.

A diffrent take lol. That plastic coating pretty much negates the need of having metal in a phone. Just make it out plastic if ythats all ill feel when holding it !
Most concerning part is the display assembly. So thin that you can see the pressure points when you select something. Maybe i am to demanding idk, but all the different phones over the years i have never experienced such thing.

I keep wanting to think that the GS7E is good lucking. Maybe it's just that I'm coming from the G3 but....it just seems too damn narrow! But to be honest, the biggest problem is that I can't play with the GS7E at any of the stores, they're all on demo mode...maybe I should go into another carrier's store where there's one I can actually demo. Can anyone tell me whether your carrier typically has its demo phones NOT on retail mode? I'm on sprint here (and still undecided between G5/GS7E/GS7).

I per-ordered the G5 and got it Friday. I have had no issues with. This whole metal vs. plastic issue is a joke. Structurally speaking, this is great phone. They had to switch to the thin metal aluminum in the back because of the void between the back and the screen when you take out the battery. And when you do take the battery out, there's very little to no deflection.
I have an metal body iphone 5s for work and i hate it. This is so much better.

I'm not here to insult, just to inform on my experience thus far. However, i wish you wouldn't be commenting so negatively on this phone without using it for some considerable time. A 10 minute in-store demo use of the phone shouldn't count especially when you are looking for all the negatives. When i pick up a phone in the store i look for all the negatives first before the positives.
Like I said, the look and fell of this phone is great after 4 days of use. The main selling point for me was the removable battery and the camera. The battery seems like it's very easy to swap and the camera is superb. I took it to a show on Friday and the pictures where incredible especially in wide view. I'm sure the 7s takes better pictures, but i really like the wide angle.
I personally don't care for all the friends modules they're advertising.
Had i read your comments before i purchased the phone, i probably wouldn't have bought the phone. Let me know if you have any other questions and I'll be happy to answer.
